Hallo!
Popping in to say hi, after 2 years lurking about.. Yup, I'm a sad person.
Dunno if there's anyone from Portugal here yet, if not then.. Now you have one!
Biology student...freshgirl actually, since I changed universities. Me being 22 and all it's a bit strange going to the Canning day dressed as Sailor Mars..

Sailor Mars anyone? the one posing as Bunny, is named Bonny... Laughing

She's german

well... I think I'll start by finally reviewing the stories... and perhaps drop in a little truefacts based tale to spice someone's imagination into a plot bunny...

bye....

Olá e Benvindo!

(Hopefully I said that right Embarassed

)

Welcome to Open Scrolls Very Happy

Are you a writer or a reader, and what do you prefer - Elves, hobbits, Men...?

I'm also a student, but my university looks a little more boring than yours Cool

My great-grandfather came from the Azores to a fishing village in Massachusetts, USA that was mostly Portuguese and Italian. My father's side of the family and my sister all have dark skin, hair and eyes but not me. I got the dark hair but I have green eyes and burn at the sight of the sun. Doesn't it figure!!

Welcome to the site. I am new here as well and didn't realize how many people were from other countries. How fun. I am from North Carolina in the USA. And in case you were wondering, this quarter-Portuguese fair skinned girl DOES have a southern twang!

Namarie, (farewell)

Welcome to the Mad Silliness, Akroma! The picture is nifty.. which one are you (I don't know Sailor Moon Embarassed

)?

So, what are your fandom preferences? Elf girl, Gondorian stud hunter, or pervy hobbit fancier? It's not like we're about to pigeonhole you into a category or anything... I'm just nosy. Smile

I tend to like all of them, myself, even the dwarves.

Feel free to wade right into the forum, quizzes, trivia threads, and challenges. If you have questions about the challenges specifically, just let me know.

Thanks everyone for the welcome! That was goood..

"Olá e benvindo" is ok, SpaceWeavil! Although Benvinda would be more correct, since I'm a girl. But it was nice!

To everyone:
I'm the one with the red outfit, the second from the left, with long dark and stupidly curly hair. It never behaves normally...

I'm an elf fancier, though with a pedigree... [i]Noldorin[i] elves....
But as a proper Tolkien geek, I love them all, races nonwithstanding, except Túrin Turambar... Hate his guts...Long Live Beleg!!

Alassante! A half azorean... from which island? Because some of them were colonized by Dutch, so, that would explain your skin tone.. ^_^ I have a friend from Pico, and he's blond and blue eyed... and views azoreans as the best on everything...

I'm an avid reader, though I also write, but never came around to post the things... Mainly, I get ideas...

Well, gotta work now on Schiff reagent..

Akroma -

I am not sure which island. My grandparents were both dead before I was born so I never knew them but both my grandfather and my great-grandfather in addition to my father had dark skin, dark curly hair, and eyes so dark they looked black. My dad died in '98 at age 59 and he still had his dark hair with just a little bit of white hair. Most of my blood relatives on his side of the family have passed on as well because he was born when my grandfather was in his early forties so his cousins, uncles, step-sister, etc were all much older than him. The few that I remember all had dark curly hair, dark eyes, and darker skin. I just got cheated!! I didn't get the skin or eye coloring but I have dark curly hair although not as dark as the rest of the family.

My dad used to make my mom make Portuguese Sweet Bread. Is that a true thing in Portugal or just a Portuguese-American thing? I guess over there it would just be sweet bread, right?? And do you know anything about Kale soup. I think my dad made that stuff up.

There are a lot of types of sweet bread, but yeah, here it's just called sweet bread... Smile

As for Kale soup.... maybe Caldo? If that's it, then it's caldo verde, or green soup, which is THE best soup, ever.

Perhaps I'll post a picture of my azorean friend, if I can find any... he has family in the states too..

well, off to dig in molecular cell biology.. there's no boring book, untill you've read Chang... and Lodish... no, Lodish is good...
