Hey, s’pose i’d introduce myself. My name is Purin血, (血 is the kanji for blood, just in case you weren’t knowledgable on the ol’ japanese-y shenanigans) or Lexi if you would prefer. I am 15. I’m an avid fan of anime and manga. I am an amateur digital/traditional artist, too. Straight Dope user **cmyk** is my father. I have watched my father make [del]a fool of himself[/del] many smart/hysterical comments and debates on this board since I was 3. I’m excited to actually be a participant and no longer look over his shoulder. Can’t wait to mingle with you all, hope to see you 'round the joint. Now… _Where’s my frickin’ pie?!_ 🆒 ---

> [@Purin](#): > > Now… _Where’s my frickin’ pie?!_ 🆒 Ahem. Noobs are supposed to bring pie for the rest of us. You’re lucky this isn’t the NFL, where you’d have to pay for us to go to Vegas. ---

What, you speak Proto-Indo-European as well? (When come back, bring PIE…) Welcome, welcome! Would you like some ice cream? It goes well with pie, if we can get the pie to hold still. ---

I warned her about the goats, and told her to prepare. I’m just not sure she found the proper safety gear and eye protection. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-im-new/673223.md?page=2)
