	After talking with Taldin, Rachel looks around at everyone
and grins widely. "It is nice to be back. I love my husband dearly,
and therefore I only have time to use the computer when he is away,
because I enjoy spending time with him! (Is this what cynics mean
when they tell people to get a life? It is hard to make time for
callahans in my busy life...) Still, I can always answer my email,
because that has a _much_ lower volume." (HINT!)

	"For those of you who don't know me, I've been in callahans
since October of '90, on and off. I read and posted much more frequently
in college, mainly because I got bored while waiting for people to ask
me questions about word processing. (I was a consultant in the public
Macintosh/PC clusters at Brandeis.) I got Grant to read the group too,
and thus we have fondue to eat! :-)" Grant's teddy bear Cameron giggles.
"I am about 5'3" tall when I stand up straight, overly well-endowed,
and I have _red_ hair which is now just below the shoulders. I don't
really have an alternate persona. Even my SCA persona and my AD&D persona
are much like my RL self- intelligent, but a bit insecure and not quite
sure what path to take next to get to the goals I seek.

	A green fire lizard flutters from the rafters and chirps
indignantly. Rachel scratches her eye ridges. "Soora, you're not an
alter ego, you're a friend who keeps me from rambling too long and
besides, I met you just before my first post." She steps into the
LoR, and the fire lizard turns into a soft sculpture. She steps back out
hurriedly, since she is wearing mainly a long T-shirt- not appropriate
attire for an evening out- and doesn't want to make her friend
uncomfortable. "Let's see- I graduated from Brandeis in '91 with a
BA in Comparative Literature and spent several months living with my
(then) fiance and looking for a job. I found one that wasn't too demeaning
at a desktop publishing/typesetting company and I've been working there
for 14 months. I learned a lot and I now have marketable skills as a
proofreader and technical assistant. I do not like several of my co-workers
or the ridiculous deadlines our customers put us through, and it doesn't
pay enough, but it is never dull. I got married in April- April 12, if
anyone's keeping track- and I think that was a good decision. We could
have stayed merely engaged forever (or at least until we decided to have
kids) but it's nice to be married (and no, I can't explain why.).

	"I like books in general, music in general, and hugs, of which
I have plenty for everyone. I also love silly puns, fortunately for my
husband, who loaned me his Callahan's books shortly after we met. (Oh Mike-
I must buy Feather another Brandy Alexander for starting that contest! Too
bad I don't know enough about programming...) I would also be an aspiring
writer if I had time to write, and a musician (flute, recorder, voice)
if I had time to practice. And I think I should end this because it is
_very_ long and most of you already know me... I hope to hear from the
new people soon... you all seem to be very intersting people."
