Introducing Me!
« on: June 15, 2009, 09:50:01 PM »
Hello all!  I am Hi-oopi. CS (Colonial Shooter) kidnapped my heart and is holding it hostage ... I love every minute of it!

Some of you may know me from Douglas a month or so ago. Unfortunately though, I don't know most of you! Well, I mean I know of most of you, just never met you yet! I am looking forward to meeting everyone and I can't wait to be able to put faces with names!

Back to introducing myself! I'm originally from Missouri (around Osage Beach, Eldon to be exact). I moved to Wyoming for no good reason, but I'm here that's all that counts!

Something interesting about me is I'm Comanche. My great great great great Grandfather was Quannah Parker, the last Indian Chief to give up his rights. Hi-oopi is actually my Indian name given to me by my Grandmother Tot-si-yah. Hi-oopi means sunflower (in Comanche). She always says I used to look like I had been kissed by the sun. Being fair skinned, mid-summer in Texas, sunburns were inevitable.


One of my favorite motto's is, "Don't judge a book by it's cover." Because I may be young, but I definitely do not fit into the "Why" generation stereotype. (this tends to shock most people)

If you would like to know more just ask as I cannot think of anything else interesting to say.

We aren't going to make it this weekend. CS has a shoot here in Casper, and I have to work on Saturday. Wish we could go, but life.....

Oh my, I forgot to include my family in my post!!! :(

The most important part of my family (except CS (now)), is Geena! She is so ugly she is cute, and don't ask me what breed she is.  She has to be something like beagle and pit. She loves hunting, and she has the brindle of a pit.

She was saved from being abused, so she is a pansy, I still love her though!

Hi Hi-oopi, (sounds redundant) I'm glad that you made it to Wy. I noticed that you are considered a 'Lurker'. Do you feel comfortable with that title? Its ok...it's sort of a 'hazing' that everyone must go through to see if they have what it takes to be part of this. I think you'll survive. I'm glad to have met you in person and see you on a daily basis. Yes I live in a well armed house with others from the forum. Welcome Hi-oopi!

Sadly due to jumping off from out east before waiting to get out o' the debt woods and a immediate monetary opportunity (seven days a week  :'(), we will not be attending the event formerly known as JAM this weekend either...but our hearts will be in Crook & Weston County with all our FSW friends, even if our bodies are stuck in state though further west...

We are getting the kids to put on a Sun Dance  ;) so everyone doesn't get soaked...since Wyoming mud is something to write home about...it'll make you inches taller if walking and feet shorter if driving.

Anywho, Welcome On Board Hi-Oopi and can't wait to meet you live!

Take Care.

Welcome! All I really needed to know about you was displayed in CS's face when he told me about you. :) He was glowing... and that's quite a compliment to any woman.

I'm so glad you are here, and hope you can come with him to the Appleseed in Newcastle in September so I can meet you in person.  Sorry you can't come to the camp out, but such is life sometimes.

Welcome to the family. :)

Oh yeah, I just remembered this... Manumit, since WHEN do people bring laptop computers camping?  He (CS) completely cheated, he wasn't supposed to know the meaning of the french I was telling him. Now I have to worry about you being at a shoot when I start throwing french at him :P!


And Joel, I don't prefer the term "Lurker" sounds kind of stalkerish and creepy to me, but hey that's what I'm considered.... for now. I'm glad to see you got on the forums to say hi and yes hi Hi-oopi is very redundant! I you prefer you can always call me by Amanda. I don't mind.


P.S. Still haven't figured out how to upload my avatar :(  hmm.. maybe I have to be a member to upload stuff to the forums.  Any ideas?
