 Posted: Thu Aug 26, 2004 4:43 pm Post subject: Time for me to say hello |
 |
|
I would have done this last night when I registered, but I sorta got sidetracked (I have a short attention span)...
Hello everyone.
I'm a recent convert from ff.net - I found a needle in the haystack and the thread attached to it led me here. I've already found enough interesting things to keep me occupied for weeks.
About me: I am 25, I live in Edinburgh, Scotland with my boyfriend (we've been living together for 6 years and are still annoying our parents with the "marriage? We'll get round to it" line, which is entirely true in the "sometime in the next decade" scale).
My hobbies are reading sci-fi and fantasy (my tastes can only be described as diverse), roleplaying and swimming. I also dabble him historical reenactment and related crafts (making chainmail at the mo.)
On LOTR: I first read the trilogy 13 years ago, didn't pick up the Hobbit until 4 years later and have only just finished the Silmarillion (I'd like to read the Histories, etc but it's a rather daunting prospect).
I love the films, because of and in spite of all the differences - my only real gripe with them is the Army of the Dead, which was just awful.
My favourite characters are: (in the books) Eomer and Faramir, (in the film) Eomer and Legolas (yes, another Orlando Bloom fan).
I'm not much of a writer, I have trouble developing ideas or sticking to one for any length of time, but I promise that should I be inspired, I will try. |

Hey there.
Welcome, and I hope you'll enjoy it here. You should find plenty of inspiration and support with these folks (Know I did)
I'm from Glasgow, but I grew up in Fife, so know Edinburgh quite well (though there's a lot of places I am banned from over there...  )

Hello! This place is great! You'll love us crazy people! I'm crazy, but don't be frightened! You'll learn to love me! 
Why am I placing those exclamation points after every sentence!
grr!
I need help...

Yo Doodle, Welcome To OSA.
Hizz Ho Ho...
(Ok...I have no idea...)
If people come randomly hugging you or asking you for porn and alcohol, don't be frightened. Just give 'em what they want and you won't be hurt. 
It's not wise to offend Axl Rose in front of some of the members too, so be careful.
Kidding! Kidding! We're all vaccinated and medicated so we won't attack.
...
I think I scared her away, don't you?

*pushes Queenie back onto the Yoda copter and out the window* Stop scaring away the little ones!
Welcome dear, and don't mind the local animals:) By all means join the mad banter and feel free to let out the wild & virtually drunken you (if you should find her); we're all nutty enough in our own separate ways that you should be right at home in here somewhere!
I'm the short one with the mushrooms & ale in the corner

No, I just have to sleep occasionally. Not sure how I managed to stay logged on though.

Finding is not a problem, but I am still teaching my nuttier selves to type coherently. |

-pouts and flies back into her Dom and Billy room-
Just to tell you, if you ever need to find me, 99.9% of the time I'm in there.
Or raiding the OSA fridge.
-nibbles at a huge chocolate covered hobbit labelled 'Property of Sil!! Eat this and feel my PHF Wrath!!!'.
-laughs nervously as she hides the chocolate behind her back-
Anyhoo...BB has lovingly dubbed me Yoda, but Queenie, Sooker and Lex are my other nicknames.

Now behave yourself and I'll have some lovely smut for you in a day or two... *evil grin*

Eeep. -shudders-
Smut?
You said smut!
-snort-
Ok.
Good I Will Be.
(And that is why I'm named Yoda.  )

*Snatches the Yoda copter from under the wee one and cackles evilly, flying off to torment the Hobbits about their round tummies and short legs.*
Sucesss!
Oh, and Welcome! By the way.

Round tummies and short legs, Mistress pumpkin???
*looks down at her own 3-baby body and shrugs* More like squash over here I guess.... Not as dynamic and proportioned as a pumpkin.. 
*pulls out a pie and a spare elf on the side* Need your protein and relaxation, BB!!!
