Hi! Just found this place and I'm really excited I did-- As a displaced Giants fan it can be hard to find an outlet sometimes!
1) I'm currently living about an hour north of Los Angeles at Naval Construction Battalion Center Port Hueneme, and before moving here, I had been living in San Diego, CA since December 2010. Home, on the other hand, is Waterbury, CT... Hence the "displaced" thing.
2) I grew up in a Giants (and to a far lesser degree, Chargers) household, and my NFL first game was in 1989 at San Diego -- Giants won. I remember being there despite being INCREDIBLY young, I remember it was raining my mom took me home a little early, while my dad stayed behind, haha. I think I really took an interest in the Giants (and began to develop an understanding of the game) starting with the 2004 season. So really, I'm kind of terrified to think that someday, Coughlin and Eli will be gone, because the Giants I've known began when they did! D:
3) I went to school for psychometrics, with the intention of working to develop more refined measures for psychological testing, my interest in particular being high functioning autism and autism spectrum disorders. My husband has two years left in the military, after which I would like to move back east and continue pursuing what I went to school for, but this isn't exactly the place to hold a research position.
4) Like I said, I'm looking forward to talking to fellow NYG fans on here. If anyone is active on Twitter, follow me @sorrymymistake and I'll do the same-- really enjoy the Giants fans I've followed on there, and certainly would like to have more tweets to read, haha.
