Screen names

[Asso]

I don't like classical. I hear it, I want to burn something.

Oh, that's sad for me!

[Aquarius]

Sorry!

I love New Age though.

[WarpGirl]

I LOVE CLASSICAL! But my passion my real unadulterated passion, is jazz in all of its forms. But particularly in the 20's-50's. It just doesn't get any better. Rock, R&B, Country, Soul, that's just cheap chocolate. Jazz is the real deal expensive silky taste it all day chocolate.

My absolute favorite band in the 80s was the Police.

I loved the Police, Madness, Genesis, Ultravox ... all that stuff that was popular in England in the early 80's. Hearing it always takes me back to my year away from home. "In the Air Tonight" always takes me right back to the pub where I worked. We blasted it while we cleaned up.

I'm so sorry you hate all classical. Even symphonic soundtracks, then? John Williams makes you want to burn things too? There's so much in that category, to love and hate and in between.

Erasure!!

[Aquarius]

Meh. Some movie soundtracks are kind of cool, but it's not something I'd sit there and listen to.

Classical music always bored me, but I developed a sheer hatred for it when I was a co-manager of a Victoria's Secret. Hated that job, hated the company, hated the other managers...and all of it happened with canned classical music in the background. Most people find it soothing, but it makes me so tense and bored...I can't stand it.

Give me Gary Numan.

Bummer. No Josh Groban links then, huh? I dislike twangy country and hard rock, but like everything else.

My screen name? A gift from AOL when "Bether" had been used up. "Bether" started with my brothers (They still call me that!) and has a sports connotation. The Red Sox radio announcer used to affectionately add an 'er' to everyone's first name. So my brothers started calling me Bether or "The Bether". My name is Beth (obviously!) and anyone can call me that on here.

I so love 80-ties music. Somehow you never forget the music of your teens.

[WarpGirl]

Um I was born in 1984. But I remember Billy Joel a lot, then again I was born maybe 30 miles away from where he lived. Long Island always plays Billy Joel. I remeber a lot of 80's stuff because of my dad.

[enterprikayak]

Enterprikayak - you HAVE to tell me where that picture of you onthe bottom of your posts. Where were you and what was so funny? I love that pic.

I took that picture myself of John Billingsley and his wife Bonita and Connor Trinneer.

We were in Dallas in 2008 at the soon-to-be-cancelled FedCon (tho' we didn't know yet it would be cancelled). I saw them having dinner over there so I popped over and asked their permission to stalk them for a moment by taking their picture at the table. And so I did (just one! I was so well behaved!) but first I gave John and Connor the rest of the Triaxtpolitan pictures I had done (not the ones I had signed obviously). I was like, "here you can burn the rest of the evidence"

I think these were them:

and this one: http://www.yellowbrickplanet.com/images/T'Farmers.jpg

which made Connor exclaim out loud with horror.

So when I was taking the picture, they were smiling at me, the crazy lady.

Elessar and Distracted and Priso were like, where did you go? What were you doing?? You're insane!!!!

I only bothered them for a minute. I was pregnant. And when you're pregnant: you do what you want.

[WarpGirl]

You're one of those people I admire and envy ek, you're fearless when it comes to other people. My best friend is like that. She'll go up to anyone she wants too. Me I'm always hiding in corners and she drags me out kicking and screeming. If I ever went to an ST convention I'd die of a heart attack.

[Aikiweezie]

Oh my God, you've got guts, girl. I have to admit, that even though I was really nervous about meeting Connor, he was so nice and friendly that went away as soon as we went up to him. I mean, it was only about 30 seconds, but I got a nice Vibe from him. I really respect celebrities who are so nice to their fans.

When you say soon to be cancelled, do you mean that con was going to be cancelled eveen though you were all there, or the next one?

[panyasan]

Great story! I was always wondering who that lady was next to John B. Now I know!
BTW, Transwarp, your new signature cracked me up.

[Aquarius]

Erasure!!

Eh? You'll have to explain it to the old lady.

Erasure's hits included "Chains of Love" and "Respect." They also did a cover of ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" that was a huge hit in the gay clubs in the early 90s.
