D'oh! Somehow auto-switched pages and lost my reply!

MM - that's exciting!!!

Trippin - bahah! I think it's nuts that Ts can demand that you have to be on meds. Good luck though!

fox - great ambition! Good luck!

As to me....

1) I collect antique cameras, coins, and rocks (that I collect when I travel). Oh. And shot glasses, but I don't do shots (also only collected when I travel). You'd be surprised how many antique dealers are shocked when in comes a 20-something girl and she asks to look at the cameras or coins - I've had like... hour long conversations... with different dealers about their collection, to the point that they're showing me things and going "Yeah, I know you can't afford this buuuuttt...." and then telling me all about it. I even once had a dealer flat out go "You know.. that is the LAST thing that I would have thought you'd ask about. Don't be offended but it's very unique for a girl your age to want to look at coins and not the jewellery! I don't have my whole set here or out, but come back after you've gone around the rest and I'll show you them!" Which he did. And then took me to a friend of his a few tables away to get out a book about coins to then show me the history of one of the coins I'd just bought.

2) I love to travel. It is one of the few things that I can do where I don't feel uncomfortable or nervous. And I almost always travel solo.

Thanks for this!
