Casing the Joints

Getting to know my fellow GoT participants:
*theme song*: Take it away Anna!!  
btw: I had no idea Marni Nixon dubbed for Deborah Kerr in the 1956 film adaptation! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o1t-PhkFAQ
or that Gertrude Lawrence sang it on Broadway before that! - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_to_Know_You_(song) #knowledge #themore you know

I have passed Hannah ♫♥♫ in the WDC halls a time or two but as a friendly e-mail for her stated, we have yet to fully interact 1 on 1. She was kind enough to tell me she runs a project for newbies and the Rising Star M2M Review forum. She enjoys writing shorts, and a lot of poetry. I look forward to further interactions with (self-proclaimed?) Queen Hannah

I feel comfortable saying I "know" Rhonda . Having joined the year after me she is one of the few I recognize as being in 'my class'. You know, kind of like going through school together. I think she got her yellow case directly after my yellow case group and since then it's been impossible to not notice her everywhere!

wordninja is another I recognize. Want to say I've seen him mostly on the news-feed responding to all the splendiferous posts that Writing.Com Support puts out. I had no idea he was in my hometown of ATL though! Lucky ;-P

I recoginize (misspell on purpose) Bonnie for her cat profile pic and as runner of "A Romance Contest"  Totally bummed that's over, I notice it every week while doing "I Write Romantic in Winter" .

mystic_dreams has a really neat port pic (I really need to get on that graphic wagon) and is co-leader of "Invalid Item"  with Hannah ♫♥♫ , who knew?

GeminiGem of House Lannister just joined last August and is throwing herself into the community! I lurve it. All her item image covers are so funky. The tag to her item "Why I Write"  intrigues me and while I have only skimmed it, I can relate. My parents aren't English professionals but they taught me that getting my emotions/thoughts/feelings off my chest by writing them down was not only healthy, but entertaining.

Quick-Quill has a thought provoking name and her cover pic is of the Cincinnati library water fountain! Can't remember if hers was the 1st profile I ever saw it on, but I drove around downtown JUST to find that fountain after seeing it on WDC! My local library an hour north of Cinci has a similar structure of huge books stacked about 5 stories high! I am such a nerd for literary sculptures....

ssummers joined late last year and her profile pic makes me miss the beach...badly...sigh..... I'm intrigued by "Invalid Item" , a piece within a piece that works as a transition. I've never read it put that way in another WDC item, though other items have probably done it I like that she spelled it out, reminds me to consider using the method in my own tales. Also, last I saw it done well was in Tamora Pierce's Beka Cooper series. Least, that's what her piece made me think about.

Kanish ~ we got this! and I share similar minds going by his port intro. Though I'm not smart enough to be an Engineer I did study to be one and took several courses. Though Spiritual I mainly night-dream about living in some of my most favorite fantasy/what-if worlds. Aaaand I am woefully and instinctively a procrastinator and individualistic (though that can be just as good as 'bad')

Jeffrey B is a newbie who's username and Highwaymen quote on his port made me think he was a Poe-fiend and/or Macabre type fellow, but then I remembered the show and I guess he just likes zombies. Naturally, because of these thoughts I was drawn to "Disaster" . Kristi really liked it and I kinda dig it, especially the word art that accompanies it.
