[nabs-l] just want to introduce myself to the list

[hannah]

Hey Jon,
Welcome to the list and I hope you find it useful.  I don't post 
much, but I enjoy reading the posts by everyone here.

My name is Hannah and I live in Humboldt County, California.  I 
am 17 and currently in high school.  I lived in China for about 
12 and a half years and moved here in 2004.  I enjoy reading, 
listening to music (mostly American top 40s), talking to friends 
via email and phone, going on the internet especially facebook, 
hiking and more.
I'm sure you will meet tons of really cool people on this list.
Cheers, Hannah

>Hi there everybody.
>Before I actually introduce myself I should start off my intro by 
stating that I don't normally tend to subscribe to online list 
serves, but lately I've been feeling a real need to interact with 
other people who may be experiencing some of the same struggles I 
may be and if nothing else I'd like to be able to make some life 
long friends.
>I was on this list at one point a few months or so ago but I 
unsubscribed after a while because I felt a bit let down by the 
lack of responses I got to my intro, but I figured it's a brand 
new month and another day so why not give this another try.
>So having said all of that let me tell you all a little bit about 
myself.
>My name is Jonathan though typically most of my friends call me 
Jon.
>I'm 27 years of age and come from Massachusetts a city called 
Brockton which is located about 45 or so minutes south of Boston.
>I'm about 5 9, have brown hair, hazel colored eyes, and I haven't 
recently checked my weight but I'm guessing I weigh about 180 
lbs.
>I'm hoping to work some of those pounds off on the new treadmill 
my folks got me for my birthday though.
>I tend to think of myself as being a very laid back and extremely 
friendly person, however I do like to make it known to everybody 
right up front that I am not, never have been, and probably never 
will be in to the whole drugs/ partying lifestyle, however I 
respect that everybody is entitled to live there lives as they 
see fit but I had a very close friend who's friendship I lost to 
that sort of thing and I don't have much of a place for people 
like that in my life.
>I have a wide variety of interests some of which include reading, 
listening to all types of music, talking online and on the phone, 
going out to dinner, sometimes to the movies, and browsing around 
in bookstores and music shops to name only a few.
>I'm single and do not have any kids though like many people out 
their I'm always on the look out and hoping to meet someone new 
and interesting.
>right now I'm not currently in college due to personal struggles 
in my life but the reason I thought I would try joining this list 
is because it's more likely going to have people who are closer 
to my age then alot of the other list serves probably do and as I 
indicated above I have a sincere interest in wanting to meet 
people.
>I'm totally blind and have been since birth.
>I have a condition known as Micro Opthelmia which means little to 
no eyes.
>If anybody out their would like to say hello feel free to contact 
me off list.
>There are 2 ways you can reach me you can always email me at my 
email address which is
>jmatte28 at comcast.net
>or you can always send me an IM on aim if your feeling really 
bold.
>My screen name is tvvault82
>I would offer people a skype user name but at this time I'm not 
doing anything with that program so those are the best ways to 
reach me.
>Thanks for taking some time to read my intro and I hope to hear 
from some new people soon.
>Sincerely Jonathan from Massachusetts.
