OT: Distinguishing Mandy & Mandy

(1/4) > >>

dmmb_Mandy:
Alrighty. Clarissa (Elle) suggested in a PM that myself & the other Mandy (littleguitar) start a thread distinguishing ourselves, since she has some trouble remembering who's who (and she's likely not the only one). It makes sense that people might get us confused. We are similar in many ways; similar tastes, almost the same age, both in University, both writers..etc. Clarissa suggested we both answer a number of questions, so here I go:

username & how I chose it: On the IMdB CT board & TOB it was "dmmb". Which is strange, I'm not sure why it ended up being that. I created my name a long time ago (long before BBM) just so that I could read through the forums. So I can't even quite remember why it ended up being "dmmb". I didn't start posting on the forums 'til BBM. The 'd' probably coincides with the 'd' from my university e-mail that was automatically added on to my initials. So MMB are my initials, well actually my UNI omitted my second middle name, so my actual initials are MMRB. So anyway, I kept "dmmb" for here so people would recognize me, and I decided to add on Mandy for the hell of it.

last initial: B. So you could just call me Mandy B. I'm not sure what littleguitar's last initial is. I usually call her MandyI, or other-Mandy, or fellow-Mandy, or my bizarro-world twin, hahaha.

location: St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada (the oldest city in North America  :)). I bet that's how most people distinguish us already. One's a Newfie (though not technically, I guess, since I was born in Labrador), and one's American.

age: 22

vocation: 4th year UNI student, English degree, graduating next month (I believe MandyI is graduating then too - see what I mean by "bizarro-world twin"  :P). Then I'm doing a second degree (in French), and then considering Law School, who knows!? I like school  ;D

main interests re BBM: I've been a huge Jake fan for a while and I've always been fairly fond of Heath, and when I first heard of the movie sometime mid-last year, I immediately read the short story and fell in love! And then I though "WOW, I can't WAIT to see Jake & Heath as Jack & Ennis". I secretely obsessed about BBM for months before I was able to see it, which wasn't until mid January here in St. John's (and I refused to download it, I wanted to lose my BBM virginity in theatre, I wanted to experience it on the big screen, in all its beauty). I lurked around TOB for the longest time, reading about other people's obsessions and yearning more and more for BBM. I've seen it several times now, and I am sooo glad I came to TOB and then found my way to CT and into all of your lives  :-*

main interests re the rest of life: Hmmm, well I'm a fairly easy-going person. It takes a lot to shock me, and I'm very accepting & open-minded. I adore movies of all genres really. I just love relaxing with a good movie. I worked at a video store for several years back in my home town and boy, that was awesome! Music is another passion of mine. I play saxophone (baritone) & guitar. I love all kinds of music (metal, rock, alternative, just about everything really). I love learning new languages. I speak French & Spanish (and a little Portuguese, but not very much!!). I'm straight (slightly bent) and have been with my BF 3.5 years. I LOVE reading, writing (poetry & short stories mostly, though I plan to write a novel & screenplay someday), painting, anything artistic really; I just love expressing myself in different ways. I grew up as the youngest & only girl (3 older brothers) so I learned early on how to be tough & independent. I love playing games (video games, board games, card games..etc). Most of all, I love having good, meaningful conversations with interesting folks (like all of you!)


Wow, I wrote A LOT. Sorry for boring everyone! I feel all naked and exposed, lol. Hopefully Mandy (littleguitar) will post her responses shortly, to compare & contrast.

BTW, Clarissa, I feel so special that someone cares enough to ask us to start a new thread about this. Thank you hunny, it really does mean a lot *MUAH*  :) :-* ;D

Chanterais:
Don't feel naked, lovely Mandy.  Here, take my coat.  No, wait, better yet, I'll get naked too!  We can go skinny dipping in the lake!

In all seriousness, you're an interesting chica.  I feel comforted knowing that there are some other fellow Canadians out there, like you and Nicole (and Nicole and Pierre, naturellement). 

How many Newfies does it take to change a lightbulb?

cmr107:
Hmm, this should be helpful. Thanks Mandy B.!

(So you won't feel naked anymore, here, I got an extra blanket so you don't freeze your ass off when the fire dies down!)

lol, I've heard many different vairants of this joke. Perhaps: "Two - one to bite the old bulb out of the socket and the other to hammer the new bulb in."

A prof of mine told our class a joke once about a mainlander who was visiting Newfoundland and said a Newfie joke at a party full of Newfoundlanders. My prof responded with this joke: "What is blue & black and floats in the St. John's Harbour?"  A: "A mainlander who tells Newfie jokes". lol

Oooh, I love skinny dipping  ;D

Courtney - Thanks girl, I couldn't quit my hammerin'!

dmmb_Mandy:
Where's my bizarro-twin? Mandy, get your fabulous butt in here and start talkin'!!
