Let’s see, more about myself, I hate talking about myself. I’m a 20-something woman, (younger than LOUNE though ;), loves to play video games, hanging around with smart-ass geeks, and reading. I have many more interests, but let’s not get into them just yet. 😉 Gotta hold out somewhere. ---

Damnit! You’re early! I haven’t even installed the chai– Uh, well … never you mind then, and welcome! We have a fine assortment of folk here of all races, creeds and colours, plus a variation or two in species, whom you will meet shortly. In fact, they should be able to help you with your reticence to elaborate on your, er…_finer_ qualities. Yes, they are good with that sort of thing – they like to think themselves the rapists. ---

Oh bummer, I’m late to the party. Did my invitation get lost or something? I wanted to vote for the name **Hooked Squid** earlier in the thread, but alas, I’m too late. Welcome **MCUNE**!

Welcome, welcome, **Most Creative User Name Ever**! 🙂 I take it you’ve heard of our welcoming buffet? Artisan bread, sparkling fruit drinks, beer for those who want it, cold cuts, and the squid’s fresh. :: splashy noises from the middle distance :: Excuse me. I have to run. ---

[QUOTE=Mindfield] She’s a girl. We have to be nice, don’t we? I mean, at first, anyway. Besides. It’s _exfoliating_ lube. Women like to exfoliate, don’t they?
