GTKY

Crunkal

Haven't seen one of these in a while and there are lots of new faces since I last posted on this board. Let's do this!!

1. Where are you from (general location not exact) - I'm from Tennessee.
2. What is your favorite type of music - mine is classic rock.
3. Hobbies- crafting, reading , gaming, hiking in the summer and spring( I'm a hermit in the winter), does vegging out and binge watching Netflix count?
4. Favorite shows- I love doctor who more than life itself, also torch wood, American horror story, Wilfred, how I met your mother, sex and the city, sure there are a million more but I don't want to bore you.
5. What clique did you fit into in high school- I'm pretty sure I was a nerd. I had all sorts of friends, but spent most of my time with my nose buried in a book or playing video games.

That's all I can think of. Feel free to add to it if you can think of any other good GTKY questions.

Hope this will bring us all a bit closer together amidst the board weirdness that has been going on.

((Hugs))

1. Where are you from (general location not exact) - Maryland, not far from DC
2. What is your favorite type of music - metal, as in power metal *dragons and quests and general geekery is awesome metal* and really epic instrumentals.  I guess it could be consider classical metal.  Like Transiberian Orchestra is considered in the metal genre. So I'm a big fan of that. 
3. Hobbies- reading, writing, swimming, hiking, biking, kayaking, backpacking, camping, crafting
4. Favorite shows- Game of Thrones, Once Upon a Time, shows that ended far far before their time like Firefly.  I could watch that one over and over again.  Gilmore Girls.
5. What clique did you fit into in high school- Theater and choir.  But I also spent the majority of my lunches reading. 

CC1017

1. South Jersey (not a native)

2. Music is one of those areas I've really been evolving in as I get older. I tend to like more acoustic, more folk style. My current pandora playlist has Birdy, Ed Sheeran, and Chuck Ragan.

3. I like to think I'm crafty. I can copy Pinterest projects but I'm not so good at thinking up my own. But I got a bad ass craft room for my 30th birthday.

4. I really don't watch much tv anymore. I like the show The Last Ship - Commodore McSteamy, you can put him on my "list." I loved Lost. I like American Horror Story but nothing has lived up to the first season for me.

5. Definitely a nerd

Otay.

1. Where are you from (general location not exact) - Florida

2. What is your favorite type of music - rock: alternative and heavy

3. Hobbies- reading, computer video games, exercising, and putting together jigsaw puzzles

4. Favorite shows- Big Bang Theory, NCIS (really all crime dramas), and silly MTV reality shows of Real World and Are You the One (not others though)

5. What clique did you fit into in high school- Hmm. Mostly with rockers. I also had two close friends that we would just literally pretend to run into walls and not really sit with anyone. I was also a cheerleader (we danced to Offspring at a pep rally- whose idea was that?). Most people don't think it by seeing me, but I was the bad influence on others.

Omg @CFearsy‌ I'm a fellow band geek. I played clarinet, what did you play?

Fun!

1. Where are you from (general location not exact) - I'm from California
2. What is your favorite type of music - mine is country and classical
3. Hobbies- hiking, running, camping, skiing, photography, horseback riding, cooking, and anything vodka related.....
4. Favorite shows- Walking dead, American Horror Story, justified, the Americans
5. What clique did you fit into in high school- I went to a very small private school and I was a complete spazz so I didn't really fit in with most of the kids at my school.... So I hung out with the drama kids because being an animated person was allowed. But it is interesting who I remained friends with because some of them were not who I would call friends in high school.

@bluedaisy0627 Which part of maryland?

bluedaisy0627 said:

Near Baltimore. It's a special kind of hell to be a Steelers fan here.

@bluedaisy0627 Which part of maryland?

Haha!  Well Maryland is weird like that.  Go southern and it's the Reskins primarily, go to the western MD and it's Steeler country, and near Baltimore it's Ravens.  For such a tiny state, we sure cheer for a lot of teams!

Menrandes

@petitchou1019 I'm near DC, where are you in MD?

@TowerClimbersWife‌ I wish I was cool enough to have snowshoeing as a hobby. A friend and I met at a ski resort once. Not to ski, just to go to the spa and drink. But it snowed a lot while we there so we thought we'd go snowshoeing. We almost died.

Yeah. It can be tough in higher altitudes!!

@CC1017

Anything at altitude is tough. I'm right at sea level here, so I've got some nice thick air to breath. I go with my dogs and hubby and usually make him break the trail if we are going somewhere cross country. Trekking poles makes it better too.

reginaphilangee

1. From GA (tagging @CFearsy‌ cuz reasons)

2. I really have the most eclectic taste in music...when in down I am always happy with some good classic rock. One of my faves: the Allman Brothers Band

3. Friends.

4. Hobbies: reading, playing piano, crochet (I just learned!) and anything with sports

5. I grew up over seas and our school was pretty small. That being said: If I had to choose I would say I was a jock. I played every sport I could and was/am super competitive. But I am a random person so I would switch right over to the drama/artsy crowd pretty easily.

Yay fun.
1) Northern Michigan
2) I don't really like music. I listen to a lot of NPR. If I have to listen to music I am not too choosy, but no country!
3) Not a lot of time for hobbies, but when I do - Skiing, reading, photography, sculpture, drinking wine ( i make time for the last one)
4) we don't have TV so that's when I do have time for hobbies. If I am traveling for work I enjoy the criminal minds, law and order, ncis type shows.
5) I went to a high school that literally exists to get people on a US sports team so we were all jocks, but I was also an arty, nerd.

What was your sport? I'm jealous....that sounds awesome.

@firefly143‌ what part of TN, we're in East near the Virginia border.

Crunkal

It's an old nickname @CFearsy‌ . It's a combination of my actual name ( crystal) and the word Crunk. My friend thought it was hilarious that I had no idea what Crunk meant, and since I'm the least "Crunk" person to ever walk this earth he decided that is what I should be called.
Silly I know, but it's been my sn and my nickname for many years now.

Not sure if that was all of the things, but it was many of them.
