I certainly prefer being called a lifetime student to a professional student, like some people. Until I start getting paid for grad school--and student loans do NOT count!!--I'm not a professional student. That's why I need to get funding for the doc program.

Hi. My name's Raquel; I'm 31; I live in Florida but I hope not to live there much longer; I was a librarian for years, now I'm looking for a new direction in life.
I got into Legion through L.E.G.I.O.N., which is one of my favorite comics of all time, especially after Keith Giffen left and Alan Grant and Barry Kitson took over entirely.
I'm still catching up on the original book (I was on hiatus from comics until recently) but of the issues that I have, I like the ones from Volume 3 the best. My favorite of the original charcters is Shadow Lass.
The current comics I really like are The Rann-Thanagar War, The Return of Donna Troy, and the new Green Lantern ongoing. I'm still trying to make up my mind about the current Legion book, but I'm going to give it a few more tries.
My favorite non-DC book is The Avengers, not the current one, but a lot of the Roger Stern stories from the 80s and most of the Bob Harras stories from the 90s; I was thrilled to hear recently that Harras is going to be writing JLA.
My biggest non-comics obsessions are British cult singer Julian Cope and the TV show Alias.

Yes, I was one of the new librarians on board. I got my training in Rare Books at Catholic University (in DC) but now I work with digital information. *shrug* I like the older stuff better.
If I can't be the Legion chaplain (Cleric Kid!) I want to be the Legion antiquarian (Book Boy!).
And welcome aboard, fellow librarian! (Even if you're looking for a new direction. You might find that the mind of a librarian never fully leaves you. Look at Oracle...)

Hi Legion fans! I'm Paul and I live in Northern Ireland. I'm 41 and run a small comic shop combined with a music store. My first Legion comic was Adventure Comics #380 and, instantly hooked, I've followed the Legion faithfully in every series since then. Favourite characters have always been Ultra Boy, Sun Boy and Lightning Lad among the guys and Dream Girl, Princess Projectra and Phantom Girl among the gals. Always had a fondness for the Cockrum/Grell era but also dig the Earthwar run, Great Darkness Saga and the early issues of the Baxter run. Really enjoying the new series-and it's selling very well!! I read way too many comics, mostly DC, and favourites are pretty much anything Geoff Johns writes. Apart from comics I'm a big fan of Elvis , the Beach Boys and Bruce Springsteen. Also enjoy watching movies and quality TV (Lost, Alias, West Wing, Smallville). Look forward to joining in the fun here!! Cheers

Hi Paul, glad to meet another Beach Boys fan on the board, though I guess I'm mostly a fan of the era that ended with Pet Sounds. I haven't had much exposure to the later years.
Also welcome Graypilgrim and Stealth, glad to have you on board! This place is lots of fun and almost entirely full of nice people to hang out with.

WHAT!
You mean I've been running on this board with this silly Blockade Boy moniker and we are allowed to use real names?
No Paul Lad or Trimble Terror?
Well then, just call me by my real name: Carl Rove. Don't tell anyone. (<=== American political joke. Feel free to disregard)
