Is this the right place for introduction threads?

Hime · 03-29-2007, 01:45 PM

I'm a little lost, you see.

My name is Sarah. I like trying different hot sauce flavors, approaching strange dogs, and any rock song that uses the handclap sound. I dislike sitting at my desk, ringtones that have actual song lyrics, and avocados.

In terms of more practical information, I live in the Washington, DC area and work in web development. I'm in my early twenties and taking a year off of school before going back to attempt to get my Masters and PhD in Rhetoric. During the time off, I am also studying dance, doing some volunteering for feminist/GLBT groups, and (yay!!!) getting married.

You all seem pretty cool, and I have been looking for a place to talk about random stuff. Sometimes I am very longwinded and I have a tendency to take things too seriously, but I am friendly and unlikely to make too many annoying grammar/spelling mistakes. I hope that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendshipi!

Hi Hime. I don't know if you've had an actual welcome to the Cellar, but welcome!

"Friendshipi"? hehe Sorry, couldn't resist!

Welcome!

Undertoad (The Management), Bruce & Wolf (The Moderators) tend to welcome people as and when they notice their first posts, but here's a welcome from me -a poster. Welcome!

I hope you stick around and get to know us.

Introduction threads tend to wither and die here - we get to know people gradually, once they've decided to stick around. It's good to get some information up front though.

How did you find us?

I found you because my brother used to be into photography and he was always sending me links to the Image of the Day. I don't think he ever registered, though.

I can't believe I misspelled "friendship"! I think it's because I wrote "relationship" and then didn't want it to look like I was flirting with anyone... except Shawnee 123. How YOU doin? :p

Welcome to the Cellar!

Hot sauce and strange dogs? You've come to the right place.

Spelling errors? Look out for Zippy - he's the spelling Nazi. :-)

Personally, I've lost count of how many hot sauces I've tried but I keep coming back to Tobasco.

Shawnee123 · 03-29-2007, 01:52 PM

I liked your intro, Sarah! Welcome.

Shawnee123 · 03-29-2007, 02:00 PM

Damn, just my luck...finally someone flirts with me and it's another woman, while mistaking me for a guy...an engaged woman at that!

SquadRat1 · 03-29-2007, 02:12 PM

Hello and welcome Hime, from another "new" Cellar Dweller!

I didn't mistake you for a guy... I like humans of all configurations.

1. Who would you tell first if you found out you were pregnant?

I would tell my fiance, but it would probably come out as "um, sweetie, I have something to... uhhh..."

"what?"

"well, it's just that..."

"what?"

"You know how sometimes, things just..."

"honey? What's wrong?"

"well... we might not be going to DragonCon this year."

2. Sunrise, or Sunset?

Sunset. Sunrise usually means that I stayed up all night doing something stupid again. :p

3. Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

Yeah. He wants to know why your mom never calls anymore.

4. In one word, describe the color blue.

Notorange.

5. Ketchup or Mustard on your Hotdog?

No hotdog for me, thanks, but extra fries.

VI. On a clock with Roman Numerals, why do they use IIII as 4?

Because it's fun to pronounce it "aye-aye-aye-aye"?

7. Who's that behind you?

I don't know, but I wish he'd quit staring at my ass.

8. Is it possible to be 'too sexy for your shirt'?

Depends on the shirt.

9. If you had to make a hat out of meat, which meat would you choose, and why?

Probably pork, because it doesn't smell as bad as raw fish or chicken and probably doesn't have prions in it.

10. What happens when you hold your [shift] key down too long?

The keyboard gets really happy and then falls asleep afterward.

I object to question 7 in that it gives me The Fear.

I can object anyway, as I was forced to read it by virtue of it being here. The way Prince turned male children to the gay after watching him on TV.

No, I didn't get a quiz from you, you misery. I got a grilling from Slang after picking him up on his use of a word that's derogatory in Britain. Here.

Are you a Muslim, do you run with scissors, do you play the lottery, do you like to drink tea, do you play cricket, is the highest building in your city named after a baseball player, do you ride a bicycle to work in the snow to save money, do you like balloons, have you ever seen Elvis, have you even seen a UFO, have you ever left your body ( w/o chemicals), .............

We got on after that though.
