[Sally, la reina]

Can we get more traditional/classical/biblical, please?

[Sally, la reina]

Actually, we should make a "name sally's baby" thread and get off the introduction thread.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Yes, why don't you create one.

[Félix]

Sally's gonna make another beautiful baby.

Hey! My suggestions would be found in an electrician's bible, a plumber's bible and a video gamer's bible!

[Anne]

Hi I'm Anne Marie. I'm a librarian. I like chocolate. I have a cat and a husband. I read mostly fiction and classics but there are some current fiction authors I really enjoy like Anne Tyler.

[evie]

Hi Anne.

Identical cousins!

[Muddle head]

Am Aditya, re-joining TC after a couple of years - not that i was much of a regular earlier. I work as a design engineer in the semiconductor space.

Reading has been very inconsistent in the past, but recently learnt multi-tasking watching my working - house-making - reading - baby-caring wife.

Am a fan of Asimov, Rafa and Sheldon Cooper.

And i co-moderate an Indian group on GR, which reminds me to mention, am from India. Now you know am a bit of a muddle head and btw, am Aditya, or have i already said that?

After going through all the posts in here, am feeling like that headless pirate from the Pirates of the Caribbean who keeps bumping into trees.

[Susan]

I want to play Pitfall, now.

Hi, Aditya!

[Muddle head]

Thanks Barb n Susan!

[Muddle head]

Is there a primer on Ficus and related history please?

[ɯɐɔ]

Hi all.

I'm Cam, a budding actress and avid writer. I love Chicago, it's a beautiful city that I currently don't occupy. You probably will hear me talk a lot about it, though. Akron is my home away from home (yes, I like the Black Keys, no, I don't park on the Devil Strip), but, then again, so is Savannah, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. xD

Anyway, I rock climb, and write on NNWM, and love alternative/punk/alt rock/contemp. rock & indie alt./rock music, and LOATHE school uniforms. Ugh. Tights suck.

Umm...yeah. I plan on majoring in English or Creative Writing, and minoring in Chem/Biochem or Education.

[Muddle head]

Hi Cam!
NNWM == NaNoWriMo?

[Sarah]

Welcome, Cam.

As Misha said, we don't allow authors/bloggers to come in and start their own self-promotional threads. Make friends with us first, so that somewhere down the line if something cool happens with your writing you can tell us and we'll know you already and be excited for you. Now, while you're a stranger to us, it's just spam.

In any case, thanks for introducing yourself properly in this thread, and we look forward to getting to know you.

Akron was quite the happening place musically for a quick moment back in the late 70's: Devo, The Bizarros, Rubber City Rebels, The Waitresses...

And all within driving distance of Detroit.

[Cynthia]

Welcome, Cam. You seem young. How old are you?
Mama Cynthia.

[ɯɐɔ]

Sorry about that spam--I totally get it.

Akron is amazing, but, sadly, I'm not there anymore! *on the road again*

NNWM=NaNoWriMo

And, you could say that I'm young, compared to the age of the universe. I'd rather not say how old I am, if that's fine and dandy with you.

[Cynthia]

Whatever. Buckaroo.

[Susan]

Cam is decidedly younger than I, Cynthia.

I am young compared to the age of dirt. :)

[Cynthia]

Yes Susan you are young, but you are wise for your years. I am afraid Miss Cam is 15 or thereabouts. Caution, people.

[Kevin]

Misha, you're in Columbus? That's where I am right now.

[ɯɐɔ]

Not 15--older. ;D

[Goldenthrush]

Hello, I'm Deanna, but I've no clue what my name will show up as, Goldenthrush or Deanna, but I answer to both.

I'm one of those people that likes to use emoticons :D :D :D because I'm terrible at being social and often will write things I think are friendly or positive and then will be told they are the exact opposite of what I intended. Awkward...

Now, I go back to randomly reading the group posts; the 'what to expect here' thread is hilarious and helpful, because I really wanted to post about my recent bout of anatidaephobia, but the posts helped me to duck that faux pas.

;D

[janine]

Welcome to TC, Deanna!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Anatidaephobia – the fictional fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you. From Gary Larson's The Far Side.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_...

Which page is interestingly, locked down due to vandalism.

[Phil]

Hello, Goldenthrush! Don't worry about making a mistake, this is a friendly (enough) place. :)








::watches Deanna::

[janine]

Albino platypus?

[Kevin]

misha - missed your reply. sorry. actually just stayed the night there as i was on a short road trip for work which included new stanton, PA then bradford, PA then CLE to CIN. i stopped in columbus for the night. i have a sister that lives in pickerington but i didn't go by there as i got in late and had to leave early. i'm actually in that area often

[Susan]

::wonders if Goldenthrush plays goose, goose, duck::

[Goldenthrush]

Ee! Goosies and Duckies! :D

Hehe, I actually used to keep ducks and geese, but I'm down to just my chickens now. They're pets, not food. Though delicious, they're more fun in the feathers.

The name is a longgg strange story that actually starts with a dog. Goldenretriever didn't have the same ring to it...

[David]

Hi,
I'm Dave. I'm a musician. What's a conjunction?

[[deleted user]]

A word who's function it is to "hook up words, phrases and clauses".

Hi, Dave!

(Pssst. Dave, watch that.)

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Oh. My God. This thread actually went to the proper post when I clicked on it.

[[deleted user]]

Today has been good. Yesterday it never once did for me.

[Susan]

It's a miiiracle.

[evie]

Hallelujah!

[Cynthia]

Sing it, sister.

[David]

I was kidding ;) Some of us musicians do know how to string words together to form sentences. When we're sober.

[[deleted user]]

Just trying to help! :). At least I did it with a song...

[janine]

Welcome to TC, Soumyajit!

We'd appreciate it if you'd introduce yourself with something other than just a link to your blog though. It reeks of spam and we don't like that.

[[deleted user]]

Thank you, J9....I was thinking that, should have said it.

Welcome, Soumyajit. But, you really will get little to no response with self promotion before you get to know folks around here.

[L.F.]

Hey everyone! Hi. I'm Leanna, and just looking for a group that'll allow me to let my hair down a little once in awhile, even though it tends to get a little tangled when I do :) I'm a reader/writer/artist/musician/mother/grandmother/sister/and so far still full-time-employed US government employee. (Slacking off at work right now)

[[deleted user]]

Welcome, L.F.

TC is a great place for letting down of hair. Though it's a bit crazy quiet right now, what with the dust settling and all. Hope you enjoy your visit and/or stay!
