I’ve tried and tried to think of something but I’m just drawing a blank here, I need something that will represnt who I am. I’ve thought about using song lyrics, but I can’t think of any that really fit. Somebody give me an idea.

Everytime I see the dumpster, I think about using:

“Do not play on or in this sig.”

My favorite things to do for sigs are:

1. just take something out of context from everyday conversation, or
2. find a link to a real, but incredibly weird news story. They come along often enough. I think my favorite of the recent ones was about genetically engineering goats to produce spider-silk.

**Hardygrrl** -  
I thought of that too but, it just didn’t sit right.

**erislover** -  
To just name one or even a hand full of threads still wouldn’t be able to justly represent myself. But there is a definite I’m a flirt, just ask hardygrrl.  
I can have a slow building up of rage if I alow something to bother me.  
And I can also be the nicest person you’ve ever met.  
It just depends on what mood I decide I want to be in, yeah that might sound weird, but sometimes I want to be full of rage even if i’m not mad about anything.

Just finished listening to a couple Cd’s got a couuple ideas from some tunes.

“_I know I’m being used, thats okay man cause I like the abuse, I know she’s playing with me, thats okay cause I got no self esteem_” Offspring, Self Esteem  
or from there same CD  
“_when I show my piece complaints seize somethings odd feel like I’m God you stupid dumb shit God damn mother fucker_” Offspring, Bad Habit  
that one could be a litlle harsh for the boards, this was back before offspring turned into sold out little pansy pop artists. Everytime I hear there new music it makes me sick.

Hmmm, **Nicklz** , you said you’re a flirt. How come you haven’t flirted with me then? Huh? I feel hurt now. Ah, well, I will forgive you this one time. Now let’s see about sigs. I found one that I like but I can’t use it because it is said by a guy. Here it is:

“I am the minister of love.” - Steve Hewitt of Placebo

By the way, I love my sig. 🙂

Flirty _and_ on the edge?

“You look great in that sweater. I love that color; red’s good for hiding bloodstains.”

What?

Damn, it’s late. Ask me again tomorrow.

G **Guinistasia** (Christ, I hope I spelled that right) has seen fit to use a quote from yours truly as a sig. You could always lurk around the boards until you find something witty, and co-opt it.

Or you can use my second choice for a sig: …

_Imagination is more important than knowledge. – A. Einstein._

Sure. So, when do you wanna start? Oh, and I am trying to stalk you, as stated that you would like in your other thread on “questions about me” but I have had a weird weekend. Anyway, I’ll try my hardest. 😉 And I’ll call you. Let me write down the number that you just gave. Hmmm…:scribble: Okay. Expect a call later. 😃

You can’t go wrong with a Simpsons quote!

How about “Oh, sure…everything looks bad if you remember it”
