Hi I’m a newbie! I have been registered for a while but never posted anything, just lurked. Now I am finally posting. My name’s Carly and I’m 25. I currently live in Albany, NY but will be moving to Miami to go to grad school for Environmental Science. As you can see from my name I love the rainforest and will be doing some of my studies in the rainforests of Mexico and Belize. I have also lived in Wisconsin, Michigan, Colorado, and Arizona.
I have been a Nessa fan since I heard the first riff of A thousand miles and my heart skipped a beat! Even though I loved A thousand miles, I didn’t be come a huge fan til Ordinary Day came out. It reminds me of someone special in my life and is my favorite song. Then, I really got hooked when Harmonium came out and I was able to go to Vanessa’s concerts! I have since become very obsessed: I’ve been to 5 concerts and met her 3 times! Her piano ability is so amazing! Ever time I have met her she has been so sweet and genuinely interested in fans.
I am starting to slowly learn to play, totally inspired and impressed by her.
My website is: http://www.geocities.com/nessacarltonfan if anyone wants to check it out. It has a ton of photos I have taken at concerts from my nifty professional camera. As a “second career” I am a photographer.
I have met Gina, Jessica (jlmusicchick), Nikki (dancernl), Jackie, Mells, and Steve here and look forward to getting to know more of you! :D

:D Hey Carly, so glad you're posting! It was great meeting you! I'm sure I'll see you again.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome everyone!! You are all so nice! I also have to say you all rule! I have gotten so many rare songs from here and it seems like I have many left to go. I had no idea...I really don't know what your source is for all these songs that V has never recorded but thanks!! They rock!!
Welcome.

Will, sorry, I hope I didn't sound like I was bragging or anything. :oops: I know I'm lucky that I have been able to go to so many. I know for sure that is because I currently live in NY. She plays so many shows close to here that it is easy to go to so many. I'm sure when I get to Florida it will be a different story...

YEAH! Another tree hugger!!! (I mean that in the besta way). Any others around here? I'll have to talk to Trish and B too. So you are a molecular biology student? cool, do you know what you want do do afterwards?
And yep, having the title Assistant ecologist is so fun. thanks for noticing. :-) But I am a soon to be grad student in Environmental Science -concentration in Tropical Biological Management so that title is going to go away...But ya never know afterwards. I could be a tropical ecologist which would be my dream.
You are so lucky you get to live in a country of rainforests, coral reefs, the outback..I could go on and on. Be still my beating heart. Yes, I am insane but I am in love with the rainforest :D . I am going to the Amazon and Galapagos this summer and afterwards Aussie is next on my list! After I save up the money, I am totally there! Okay, so this just gave me an idea and I posted up a poll on what countries have you all been to?

Welcome aboard Carly. You may even arrive down under ahead of Vanessa;
she cancelled her Oct. '02 visit and it looks like we have to wait for CD#3 :oops:

Hey Carly!!

Unfortunately I won't be able to go to the shows in NYC :( So depressing! The happy thing is that I will be in the Amazon instead totally in awe with the beautiful rainforest. I just wish it was a different time but I can't change my plane tickets. Do you think someone will be taping it? I would love to hear the new songs she is singing.
Also, I was wondering if it is okay with you Ghisy if I use the sig I created below? It also has "We all want the unicorns to win" in it. I just felt it would be polite to ask since it is also in your sig. But it is one of my favorite quotes from V. Yeah, I know my sig isn't the greatest cause there are too many words at once but I don't know how to do that animi thing...I'm new at this....

Thanks so much!! For some reason I couldn't get it to work with the pm you sent me. I figured it was my computer having issues I would try again. But thank you for doing the blinking thing exaclty the way I was hoping could be done! Wahoo!

No problem Carly; the hardest part was deciding on a 0.4 sec frame interval :wink:
