Hello everybody,
Got a little tired of unpacking in my beautiful apartment - thought I come out and say hello to the fellow VP dwellers.
HELLO!!!!!
I am very new to both S&H and to the fandom in general. The first time I saw some episodes of the show was in 1980 when I was living in Italy for about a year. Took me a while to realize that the show was from US - both S&H spoke some pretty good Italian.
Moving from one country to another (which is what I did) is an amazing experience. New language, new friends, new food, new culture. You really appreciate the differences and feel cheated for missing all of it growing up - especially if you grew up behind "steel curtain" in the old USSR. And some things you cannot re-live or re-learn - you have enough to deal with just keeping up with real life.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I missed the 60's and 70's all together - and probably would have never watched S&H if it was not for some luck...or fate... I was really sick in the beginning of this year and the medication made me sleep during the day and left me wide awake at night. And it was sometime in February that I watched my very first episode of S&H. And it was "Starsky's Lady"...
I was hooked - forever....hooked on the relationship and its endless possibilities.
And then I discovered this incredible fandom - and all the wonderful people I have met on my journey to get here. I am thrilled to be here and hope to stay for a long time... I have 25 years to catch-up on! Thanks Flamingo for letting me in :-))
On a personal side, I live in Toronto, Canada. I'm in my mid-30s and have been happily married for 12 years. But my proudest achievement in life are my three boys. They are six and half years old triplets who keep me busy!!! In my spare time I enjoy reading (anything S&H), writing (poetry mostly, and baking (what else can I do with 3 boys around). I cycle to try and keep in shape (and failing miserably).
I am quiet and reasonable neighbor but like a good party - so everyone is invited!!
Love and hugs,
Jane
