My friend has just become a doper.
I told her about this place and all the cool people, so she lurked for awhile, and I think she’s hooked now.
Anyhoo, I wanted to give her a proper introduction.
Something funny and charming. (Because she is funny and charming.)
Something unique and original, (like her) and as well, an introduction that smacked with intellect and wit, again matching her personality.
I’m not very good at introductions, so dopers, help me out with this.
Type a few words of welcome for my friend.
She’s cool, she’s fun, and I think she’ll fit right in.
I gave her the “rules” and now I am turning her loose on you all.
May I present, the lovely and talented…
Silly Rabbit.

Well, I will, dammit! Just to let you know that this is a house of good repute. Adult tricks (you know the kind I mean) are simply not tolerated. So if the hot pants, low-cut blouse, spike heels fit, BE GONE.
There are many opportunities in life to make a first impression. You know the saying. All my life I have tried different ways to accomplish a summary of myself in a handshake, a smile, a twinkle in my eyes and then a kind “Hi there”. How on earth do you make a first impression on a message board? Be intelligent? Humorous?
So here I sit, pounding away frantically at the keys … “Oh shit, I can’t say that, I sound stupid!” Hands shaking…. time is of the essence… can’t have anyone think I lingered too long over this. “Damn! Grammatically incorrect!! They’ll all know I am lacking in my English skills!” Racing to the kitchen for a cup of tea, I think hard for something humorous to say. Nothing. My spelling, (amen for spell check), or my grammar. (Where is my English teacher when I really need her???) Ok. Breathe….
That was the high anxiety me, but I refused my medication when they offered it to me this morning. : ) You see, when I was told I would have to come up with something after being introduced, I thought. “Oh man! Can’t I just post my thoughts or opinions and go sit back on the couch and listen to the responses??” Uh uh.
Me in a nutshell: (I bet you wished you just scrolled down to this part, huh?) I am a mother of two boys. I sit on four different club committees and am active in the Martial Arts (Wado Kai Karate) and I work part time at a Law Firm. I love photography and I am also brushing up on my webmaster skills, or lack thereof : ) As far as personality goes, I guess you will find out as time passes and I post stuff what kind of person I am. I like cream and sugar in my coffee, foot rubs, making dinner for my family, movies and popcorn with extra butter and real cheddar cheese. I don’t like… children being abused in anyway, tuna on my PBJ sandwiches and finding a run in my stockings on my way to a party.
Smug has become one of my most favourite friends … you’re the best, baby!! So… umm… can I just say that in your disclaimer, well… you kinda used the word “responsible” in the wrong form…… w I adore you anyways… HUGS
…SR xoxo
I think I can even venture to say she’ll fit right in. With a few adjustments, of course. Maybe too early to say, though. Don’t want to commit, you understand. You know what they say about the proof of the pudding.
Silly Rabbit, if you didn’t want to be on the spot, you should have slunk in under the radar and just posted some question or response to another question. Someone might have noticed your low post count and said welcome, but nobody would have made too big a deal of it.
By having yourself announced, you state your intention to make yourself known, and thus are on the hook to follow up. See how that works?
Blame it on smug. Oh well, your foot is in the door now.
