Hello to everyone here!
Just thought I would drop in and say a quick hello before I run off to prepare for the New Years festivities that some crazy person decided to host this year. Next year I will think twice about that... 
I can't wait to immerse myself in the community here, and get started reading more fanfictions. Not new to LotR fanfiction world, but new to writing my own, so hopefully I'll find a willing guide through the process of writing these often involved labors of love. (I guess that kind of serves as my plea for help from a beta!)
Anyway, this site is lovely and I'm saying a thank you to the people who put their time into making this site like that. It truly is wonderful.
A Happy and Prosperous New Year to you and your families!
Maddie
P.S. As you can see, I'm what you would call a devoted Phantom follower. Gerard Butler reignited my whole fanaticism for Phantom of the Opera with the movie. Hopefully, you can understand....

SML-
Not much to tell about myself except that candle-lit dinners, long walks on the beach... okay I know that's not what you want to hear.
Slowly making my way through my PhD in microbiology, with husband and six month old daughter following blindly along. My life is so busy with classes, I often wonder if my daughter will even recognize me when I come home at night. But alas, she does, and this month's break for the holidays is wonderful to spend time with her.
Anyway... there is a little more about me. Will be answering the "Yourself from A to Z" thread shortly!
Thanks for the welcome!
By the way... Pervy Everything Fancier here...

Welcome from a fellow Phantom Lover! I just saw it live for the first time this year. Amazing!
A new writer! Yay! If you have any questions, just pop over to the forum. There's never a shortage of helpful people around.

I LOVE YOUR AVATAR!!!! OMG Gerard has got to he the hottest Phantom ever!!! I am so glad he got the part and I can't wait to see it!! I am such a huge Phantom fan, and have listened to the soundtrack for years... Anytime I ever audtitioned for a musical, I always chose a song from Phantom (back when I COULD sing soprano, now, as I have gotten older, I am soprano alto, which is okay.... pouts...).
Welcome to the madhouse honeylamb! Everyone here is really cool and laid back, and very welcoming!
Enjoy your kid being 6months old, cuz once they hit 2.... run....RUN!!!!! Craziness ensues!!!! Heeeeee... I've got a 2year old girl. I love her, but she's nuts.... she gets it from me!!!
Enjoy the site!!!

Thanks Falling!
Yes, done my share of baby sitting before having my child for very rambuncious 2 year olds, know how that can be. The age I'm truly not looking forward to is the teenage years! I shudder when I think about my teen years, and what I was like.

Oh dear lord if my daughter starts acting like me when I was a teenager, I am gonna run like hell, cuz I was horrid.... really really horrid... I honestly don't know how I got through my teen years without getting in a heap of trouble...
I hope she's more laid back than I was....
Now back to listening to my brand spanking new Phantom of the Opera soundtrack!!! Since I can't see the movie yet..... sigh.....pouts...

It is well worth the wait! Except my husband doesn't like the fact that I've paid to see it three times. I maintain that it's because I need to create more fans of the movie, so each time, I take someone new.
Now onto the unbearably long wait for the DVD to be released.

I am having to bribe my husband to take when when it comes here.... and I know I am going to publicly drool over the Don Juan scene and he's gonna roll his eyes and then he will force me to go see some crappy comic book movie with him and I will get embrassed when he geeks up over the special effects or something....
They just don't understand us and we just don't understand them....
They want sex, we want shoes....
