Hey Hey y'all!
This is weird... like the first day of school when the teacher asks you to "say a little about yourself"...

Boring Answer:
My name is Bethany. I am high school senior from Mokena IL. I plan to attend Savannah College of Art and Design in the fall.

Real Answer:
A child of God that has a COOL family, real friends, and probably sings too much. Singing for me is kinda like yawning; if someone else is doing it, I have to make a conscious effort not to open my mouth. I think I think too much too. But then again... maybe not enough. How can you tell?

My sister introduced me to OTR about... a year? ago. I LOVE Karin's voice--and put to poetry?--{{serious shivers}}!! So good!

So... hmmm... any questions, curiosities?

Welcome Bethany. Glad you've discovered such wonderful music at such an early age. When I was in high school, I listened to a lower caliber of music personally.

welcome, bethany.
no questions or curiousities, yet. just a commendation for one so young to be so wise in joining this august body of sages, artists, and lunatics.
post away, and that will answer our questions
welcome

Welcome, Bethany! Put your feet up and stay a while.

Welcome...enjoy your stay. People are pretty friendly here...you should fit in nicely.

Welcome to the orchard, Bethany! Sing all you like.

Glad to have you in the Orchard! We love to have beautiful voices!

welcome to the orchard, bethany.

Hi and welcome, Bethany.
I love your screen name!!
Enjoy your time here and come back soon.

What kind of art are you interested in? Stylistically, I mean. I'm not really an artist in the traditional sense, but I'm a big enjoyer of art, and my sister is an art history major so we have a lot of art discussions. I'm really trying to sound artistic, here.

And I can relate with the singing. Every time I put on the 80s station in my car, I make an utter fool of myself (and usually everyone else in the car).

Anyway, welcome! Thanks for dropping by!

Hihi! Welcome! Sing with me?

wonderful to have you. enjoy your stay, and enjoy getting to know us!

Hey there Bethany....Welcome...You'll love it here...

Hey Bethany. Sounds like we'll get along well. I usually end up liking people who share my name, even if they make things confusing. I'm one of those walks around humming people too. Or making up poems.

Hi there, Bethany, and welcome! I'm down in Southern Illinois!

: )

Welcome!! I don't know why, but in your post you sound just like me. Welcome, new friend!

Welcome!

Hey and welcome!!!!!!

I've always loved the name Bethany...okay not always, but after I fell into an extreme romantic infatuation with a woman named Bethany in college, I've loved that name.

Welcome from another newbie!
