Hi there, and welcome!!!
I’m Jo, the forum admin, which I guess makes me your host here…
So what can I tell you about myself?? Well, I’m a Mischa fan (obviously), I’m currently 23, and at the moment you can find me in Manchester in England – although that’s not actually home for me. Like Mischa, I was born in the UK, and lived here until I was 10. My dad’s job then took us all to Edmonton in Canada for about a year and a half, before we moved again to California, which is where we’ve been ever since. But, before you get any ideas about that and how I must spend my days on the beach, we live in the Bay Area around San Francisco, where it’s about as cold as London!! Although we spent the first few years actually in the city, we now live just north of it, over the Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County.
So, like Mischa, I’ve lived both in the UK and in the US, and now have dual British and American citizenship. Also like her, I’ve completely lost my British accent, although folks say that they can still hear little touches of it now and again!
Although Marin County, CA, is where I call home now, I actually spend much of the year back in the UK right now, as I’m studying at university here. I picked Manchester especially because it’s where my big brother was already studying for his Ph.D. So I now share a house with him, along with my totally gorgeous boyfriend, who I’ve been with for a couple of years now… I’ve also got an older sister, who lives in New York with her husband.
When I’m not studying or posting here, I work several hours a week behind the bar in a local pub so, if you’re ever in Manchester any time and go into a pub there, take a close look at the barmaid – does she look a little familiar???
So, there, you now know a little bit about me. I hope that you’ll open your own little thread here in this section of the forum and tell us all a bit about yourself too…
