Sitting With ShylaJ) Hi, Shyla, nice to be here! S) Great. First things first...a/s/l please? J) 22/f/MD S) So is that a single female or are you merrily married? J) I think everyone here knows that I am married with a baby! S) Heh, you never know and we want newer members to learn as much about you as the rest of us already know. ;-) Tell me, how did you hear about 4thkingdom and how long have you been a member? J) Well, waaaay back in November of 2000, I was searching for links to "teen poetry" (right when I had first discovered the internet) I came across a link to 4degreez, our former home, and signed up. I've been around ever since, so I guess this November it'll be five years! God, that's a long time. S) You're definitely a veteran member. How did you come up with your 4thkingdom username? J) Well, back on 4degreez, I was just plain Jackie, which is my name. But for the switch to 4k I decided to add my middle name, joy. Pretty boring, hehe. S) Not from someone as joyful as you! Tell me your likes and dislikes (if any) about 4thkingdom. J) Well, I love 4k for the diversity, and the relationships! Some of my favorite people (including you!) are 4k-ers. I love the differences of opinion and all the options as far as posting goes. Dislikes? I don't have any! S) That's fabulous! Okay, moving on to things involving your personal/home life, what do you do to earn your daily bread? J) I work for Ann Taylor, which is a major women's retailer dealing with business formal and casual clothing. It's a pretty nice place, and I'm looking at a promotion soon! S) Oh joy! Discount galore. I'll have to come up to Maryland sometime soon, hehe. What about what you do for fun? J) My discount kicks ass, so if you want a job, I got the hook up... S) No, just the hook up on the discount, lol. J) For fun, I do all kinds of things. Retail therapy, a little walking around in DC and nearby Takoma Park Farmer's Market, playing with baby Leila, and of course quality time with the husband...oh, and don't forget, 4k is a big hobby of mine, lol! S) What is retail therapy? J) Oh, Shyla, that would be my favorite activity of all, SHOPPING! S) Hehe, okay. If I were to ask your friends about you, what would they tell me? J) Friends? What friends? LoL...they would probably tell you that I'm very supportive, and, I guess funny, too. S) What's your motto or quote for life? J) "Do what you want and say what you feel. Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." S) That rocks. What do you hope to accomplish before you die? J) Well, I hope to raise a confident and loved daughter, who is self-sufficient...I hope to publish a book...I hope to be very, very happy. J) Ooh, I really hope to finish college, lol. S) Those are wonderful goals that I have no doubt will one day turn into accomplishments. What's the wildest thing you've ever done? J) Well, I moved half across the country to be with Feroze without telling my parents. I'm not sure if that was wild, or just stupid, but it worked out okay. S) What's the wildest thing you've never done, but have always wanted to do? J) I forgot, I also have been skinny dipping...I am so boring that's one of the wildest things I've ever done. The wildest thing I've never done but want to do is travel to India and Bangladesh. S) What are five things you just HAVE to have with you if you were stranded on a deserted island? J) baby, husband, a library, sunscreen...and music! S) Well at least you'll have a book to read while you starve to death! Hehe. Is there anything in particular about yourself you'd like to let share with our readers? J) Um....I am a very supportive person in general, and if you ever have a problem and you would like to just spill your guts, you are welcome to PM me! Also, if some little something you have done has made you proud, I'm the girl to say, "Yay for you!" S) And what a great girl to be. One last thing and to get to get back to the business of 4thkingdom, on what board can we find your name posted the most? J) Uh, I think I'm pretty well-rounded as far as that goes. I've been hanging around the extreme boards these days, but next week it could be Cooking and Debates! S) Thanks for your time Jackie..remember 4thkingdomers, you heard it first right here..sitting with shyla! J) Thanks so much, Shyla! |
