I have been lingering on the list for a little over two months, and I must admit, you are a lively bunch!! I have learned a great deal, and changed my ideas on some things. I have met some wonderful people like Cathy B. and Phanny and many others, and I just want to say hi! to the rest. My name is Tori Lynn. (My name is Japanese for "little bird" and Finnish for "little mountain"-- both of which fit me very well.) I am 4'10" and weigh about 104-5. I am currently working on my master's in English (two semesters left). I am married (happily, thank God, considering the thread that has been going the last couple of days!!), and I have an 11 month old daughter. I am frantically trying to keep from sobbing because my baby isn't going to be a baby anymore, and thusly, my writing lately has been about this transition in her life. I write science fiction, fiction, biography and lots of poetry. Tend to be opinionated, but try to keep it to myself (although, sometimes I'm not so good at it....). I just want the people who have critted my work to know that I appreciate it and thank you for making me feel welcome. I look forward to being here for a long time to come. Thanks and most sincerely, Tori p.s. Cathy, it's your turn.....
