Community Moderator Introductions: Kymlee

Hey fellow 'Viners. I'm one of the new administrators of the community groups (yay!), so introductions are in order. Thanks to everyone who voted for me (I know it's cheesy but appropriate :D).

Who is Kymlee?

My given name is Kimberlee Morrison. In my day job, I'm the associate editor and a staff writer for online publisher Know More Media. I'm also a freelance journalist, a public speaker, poet, thinker…I've been told I'm blunt, but loyal, honest and compassionate. My two loves are writing and music which is why I'm glad I have been able to combine the two by writing about music.

History and Qualifications

My discovery of Newsvine was a by-product of digging around for social networking communities in 2006 and I found a bookmark on Del.icio.ous. Immediately, I liked the look of the site with subtle colors, easy to use features and active community. I started out seeding but have been writing more frequently over the last six months or so.

I may be blunt yes but also diplomatic and honest to a fault. My general philosophy is to try as hard not to offend as others try not to be offended; most of the time it works. This characteristic helps me to be level headed, patient, give people the benefit of the doubt, and unafraid of confrontation.

You can ask me about the basics of site operation, the Newsvine Community group, and about community mores and norms. I know how things run 'round here both technically and interpersonally. There may be some other things not included so if you have a question, feel free to ask. If I don't know the answer, I'll find someone who does. Just go to my column and send me an email using the contact author feature.

Don't forget to watch community.newsvine.com/comadminintro for more Newsvine Community group moderator introductions.

Nice to meet you by your real name, Kimberly. I'm going to have to check out your writings from your day job – any suggestions on where I should start?

Nice to meet you by your real name, Kimberly.

Nice to meet you too, but my name is Kimberlee. ;)

any suggestions on where I should start?

It would be awesome if you checked out VinylNotes, that's my music blog. It's pretty new so there isn't as much content to dig through. If you look up the "highlights" archives on the Know More Media main page, you'll find semi-weekly reviews of news from around the network. Beyond that, the other stuff is just sprinkled in.

You've already read my Freedom Writer series which I cross posted here, but there's more...

Thanks Scott for the self-promo prompt. :D

:D Sometimes I think you take me far too seriously Scott. Thanks for caring enough to make that correction though; I really do appreciate it.

I heart Kymlee too (her Nine Inch Nails fixation notwithstanding.)

And Celestina (well, face-licking Celestina - not her evil drunken twin.)

And Viki (everything about Viki.)

And ...

... oh, screw it. If you look decent in a skirt and can tolerate my humor, I probably like you.

Are you seriously bashing nine inch nails the one with the amazing line of "I wanna @!$%# you like an animal"? Slowing down in your old age?

No worries hemphill, I don't think Cash is bashing (::glares at Cash::). In his defense, I do have a bit of a fixation (read: fetish) with NIN. On top of this he and I were the only two at Vinemeet West who bothered to bring any CDs and we listened to NIN and The Doors for hours before (because people were enjoying it mind you) he put on his nightmare inducing rock of the 80s mix. :P

Haha! How's that for a backhanded defense.

((Hugs Cash))

The most intense concert I ever saw was Nine Inch Nails, partially because of the music and the time frame (before the first album hit major commercial successs) but more so because the club we were in literally fell apart – roof giving in – while the band was thrashing about. When Reznor tried to hang a rope and swing into the audience, the audience instead all swung on there instead and stormed everything.

I was less impressed with NIN's later stuff.

Cash, I've been told I look decent in a skirt. 

Speaking of Cash what was on his " nightmare inducing rock of the 80s mix"?

Congrats Kimlee. You DO deserve it but did not have to claim so unlike at least one other.
