I wanted to take a moment to say “Hi” to everyone and introduce myself. I, like many others, lurked for some time before deciding to register. I am soooo very glad I decided to post. 😃 I am enjoying myself immensely!  
To let you know a little about me: I am 22, live in the DC area, work overnights at a computer company, have a wonderful bf ( but I still love to flirt), my fav color is blue and I have a beautiful black cat named Mach (Mack). oh, yeah and I can be very opinionated, but I try to stay open-minded.  
I think I will enjoy it here! Please stop by and say “Hi” and tell me a little about yourself.

😃 Jenn

Welcome to our little abode. I’m SPOOFE, I’m an eerily young 19 (some older posters seem to look down on me for my age, but they’re usually dicks anyway, so I don’t care :D), I worship Josta (more so than the Invisible Pink Unicorn), I like to draw, write, and act, and mess around with my computer. I mainly seek to have fun on the board, but find it nice to throw in my two cents into an environment where there’ll probably be a few people to actually take heed.

Oh, and there’s a 'Dope tax. You have to send me fifty dollars, or your computer will be transformed into a smoking bunny.

Howdy, and welcome to the board. The Dope tax Spoofe is talking about is wrong. I think it’s more along the lines of giving the male members of the board back rubs with cinnamon oil. 😃

Hi Jenn! I’m ummm, as you could tell, Audrey. I was the opposite. I registered, then lurked for a bit.

I’m 22 also. I live in Hawaii, and I graduated in December with a psychology degree. I work part time for a professor of mine, and volunteer as a tutor for PSY 100 classes. No bf, but flirting. 😃

See ya 'round the board.

I’ve always wondered what a smoking bunny would look like. What brand do you think it would smoke? Thanks for the welcome anyway. 🙂

I am always happy to give back rubs. I’ll even the man pick whatever flavor he wants. 😉 The line starts to the left.

Howdy Blue.

Please return your seat to its upright position, fold up your tray table and enjoy the flight.

I suggest you go to the Pit and try to anger Satan or Lexicon immediately. Its fun. Trust me. Really.

Yours,

Nothing Man: Did you miss the fact that I was a lurker? I don’t think I am going to piss anyone off in the pit yet, especially Satan and Lexicon.

Geez you are tense, just let Blue work on these knots for you.

Hi, Bluemonchichi, I’m 34, live in Florida and also work nights (computer support). I’m married and have 3 cats, 1 dog and zero human kids (and plan to keep it that way, but that’s another thread). I like photography and love to read, especially fantasy/sci-fi. I’m re-reading Lord of the Rings right now, in anticipation of the movie trilogy.

:rubbing hands together while laughing maniacally: All mine huh? My plan is almost complete. 😃

\*\*Trouble: \*\* Thank you for stopping in! Any suggestions on sci-fi books. I have recently become interested in them and I am not sure where to begin.  
With 3 cats and 1 dog I don’t think you would have time for human children. 🙂

Hello. You will be contacted by fellow Blues on this board, in secret, away from THEM. We will give you our secret signs and handshakes, along with your official Decoder Ring. You may see other colors on this board, please remember, all BLUES are good, the rest of the colors (especially PURPLE) are bad. Very bad.

Hey Blue , how’s it going . 29yrs , single Irishman here .  
Live in Dublin and tell people to push buttons for a living . I love sci-fi , almost all t.v. and reading ( although all these interests have been neglected of late due to a certain message board 😉 . Hell , I only say push those buttons 300 times a day now ).

Risque?!? Nah, i’ve always been like this. I just didn’t wanna come outta the gates as a newbie slut. Now that i have over 100 posts, i figure the heck with it, i’ll show my true side. 😃

As for watching? Go right ahead, i won’t mind. 😉

Hmmm Blue?? What plan are you refering to?? Gotta hate when a woman says something about a plan.

Yay. I have always wanted to be a part of a “Blue” club! I promise to keep the signs and handshakes a secret.

\*\*Spoofe \*\* Watch, join, it’s all the same to me. 😉

**yojimbo** Wow, Ireland! I understand about other interests being rejected due to this board! However, if you have any suggestions on good sci-fi, please let me know.
