QUOTE(vixen_within @ Feb 9 2009, 11:32 PM)  Hi Makeda welcome (back?). I know what your user name means, curious about why you chose it. OMG a reply!! I'm sooo happy  Hi Vixen!!! Sorry for the lag - it's really embarassing but I ALWAYS forget my password, then I have to change it, then I forget it again! I use makeda as an alter ego alias for a lot of things. Firstly cos I like the song by "les nubians" about Makeda, Cleopatra (her nubian name). I'm African so a coupla years ago I googled "African Queens" (because I believe I am one) and that was the my favourite cos it sounded the least like a medical condition or something translated from hieroglyphics. I like "vixen_within", sounds a lot more mysterious than just "vixen"

Hi, I'm new.
My name is Eric and I am a 40something male. My wife passed away a few years ago and I am trying to reenter the dating scene. That's about all now. |

I work in my cousin's dental office. Yeah, I guess I plan to stay in Chicago. Every once in awhile my fiance and I talk about moving to Japan for awhile. Right now, it would just be too much upheaval. Who knows, though- maybe someday.

I know! It's so sad they closed!!!
Everyone here either gets pregnant before they graduate, addicted to drugs, or dropout...Then there are the ones who do all of the above. I'm kinda unsure what I want to do, but I would love to live in Spain, that's my dream!!! I would definately love to teach grade school there, I think it would be so fun. What do you do? Do you plan on staying in Chicago? I've never been, but I bet it's nice, a heck of a lot better than good ol' Joe town. |

 NOOOOOoooooooooo!!My mom didn't mention that little detail when she was there over Christmas  At least I have their cookbook.  Well, I'm glad to hear you are determined to get out. When we had a family reunion a few years ago, I was very tempted to tell one of my cousins, who was about 14 at the time, "Stay in school, don't get addicted to drugs, don't get knocked up, just get out of St. Joe as soon as you can." I didn't know her very well (my mom's family is huge and I don't know about 75% of them) and last year she got knocked up at 17. Doh! Shoulda said something! My sister and I are both eternally grateful that my mom moved to Chicago to be with my dad. What do you want to do and where do you think you'll go? -------------------- You went to school where you were taught to fear and to obey, be cheerful, fit in, or someone might think you're weird.

Wow! That's awesome! It's such a small world. I'm sad to say that Jerre Anne's closed this past year
I've lived in St. Joe my entire life and I'm ready to get out of here! Haha!

Hey Stevey! My momma's from St. Joe! She grew up in the house on 20th and...crap, can't remember the cross street! Went to Bishop LeBlond. Got the hell out of there and went to Benedictine College in Atchison, never went back. My grandma still lives there and my aunt, too. It's, um, an interesting town. Her family's been there forever, back to probably the mid-1800's. My mom's saying is "St. Joe's a great place to be from."
 The cross-street! It's Charles! Not such a nice neighborhood anymore. Coleman Hawkins' family lived down the street. I think she said even in the '50's, their house still had dirt floors. Man, I could go for some Jerre Anne's right now! -------------------- You went to school where you were taught to fear and to obey, be cheerful, fit in, or someone might think you're weird.

Hi everyone! I've been reading Bust for several years now (it's one of my faves, alongside MetroPop, Zink, and Nylon), but didn't realise there was an online forum for it till today. Hooray!
I'm SarahJayne. Just turned 28 years old. Originally from Portland, OR - but I've lived all over the US. Currently residing in Dallas. Music, fashion, and film are greatest passions. I've been a vintage clothing dealer for 9 years, and when I'm not working, I'm glued to my turntable or watching a dvd. I love anything creative and heartfelt. Thats one thing I love about Bust - all those cool ads in the back I never see anywhere else, hehe. Anyway, I look forward to meeting you all!! -SJ -------------------- |

GirlTrouble & Culturehandy & everybody! Fair warning, though,I am a terrible two finger typist & the posterchild for typos! Should've paid attention in typing class, oh well, I will survive.

I'm probably replying in the wrong place, I admit I am unprepared & haven't looked around much yet, however, I did see some mention of bourbon and cupcakes, did I read that right? So just thought I'd grab one of each (are they free?, If so, is there a limit?) and then look around more.
Hello to everyone out there in Bustland! |

omg Punky, I was just thinking about that show and trying to remember the lyrics for the Saturday morning cartoon *memories!*
Oh and LunaSea, there's a library staff/archivist's thread in the Working Girls section of the lounge, you should stop by there. That thread needs a revival -------------------- you cannot erase the reality of me
