Hi, I'm Delia. I met most of you on the KEW site, although you haven't until now known my last name. I love to read, anything really. Right now I;m re-reading the Solomon vs. Lord series by Paul Levine. It's a riot really. I'm 24 and soon to be 25, and NOT looking forward to that. I love children, even though I don't yet have any of my own. I am a phlebotomist, which for those of you not versed in either medical speak or Latin, means that I draw blood for a living. But I will go to nursing school at some point, I guess I'm just too content with my life right now to make the change. When I'm not in my medical uniform, I can be found either at church, or running errands. Other than that, I occasionally go out to Princeton Station, which is a restaurant that has a lounge in it. But beyond those things, I stay home.
On TV, I watch Two and a Half Men, Rules of Engagement, all the CSIs, LAw & Order: SVU, A Haunting, Golden Girls, StilL Standing, American Idol, Hell's Kitchen, The Tudors, and Army Wives. Oh, ya. And I love Antonio Banderas.

I'm going to piggy back on Delia and introduce my self here, mostly because I'm too lazy to start a new thread. I know most of you as well from the KEW site. I will be 23 in June, and started reading romances right after I turned 21, someone reccommended them to me and said I'd be good at writing love stories so I tried out KEW's A Rose In Winter, loved it, and hopefully found my true calling as a writer. I currently live at home, and just got a job at the post office the next town over, not an easy thing to do around here. IO figured delivering mail would be a career I can enjoy until/if I am able to support myself writing. I like to draw and paint, and love to look at art. I love just about anything that has to do with Europe, especially Itlay and Ireland. I watch The Office (US version), My Name Is Earl, and Dancing With the Stars, and the Simpsons when I have time.

Cale you sensitive male,

You can piggyback on me anytime you want to. Good luck with the post office, just don't go postal on me...LOL. Sorry, that's old. Anyway, I think I'll be talking to you mainly here from now on.

You don't know how old that is. I live in town of 13000 people, not big, but this town I work in is only 500, and basically just a bunch of elderly people. They come in the door, see me as fresh meat, and their eyes alight. I've heard the "Don't go Postal on me now," joke, comeplete with head slightly turned and hunched over the pointed finger. Everyone there uses that pose to let you know their joking. But I'd rather hear the same joke, comments about the weather, and gas prices, over and over from friendly people than have to deal rude negative ones.
