Hi! I’ve been hanging out for a while, slowly delurking, figure I should officially introduce myself. Quick description: Female, mid-30’s, heterosexually married, lifetime geek, Californian, liberal, feminist, work for the State of CA. Interests: I’ve worked Renaissance Faire for about 15 years now. I play WAY too much FFXI. I sing badly but with great gusto. And…here I am. ---

Hi, **Oni no Maggie**! I tried to send you an email to ask your permission to introduce myself in your thread, but it was blocked. Thought it would just be easier for other people to bring all their whips, chains, marine life, and what have you into one convenient location. Anyway, I’m also new around here. I’m 25, single, and live in Maine with my four cats. I work in retail, but please don’t hold that against me. 😛 I’m looking forward to getting to know people around here, and making some friends. ---

Welcome, **Oni no Maggie** and **Ms. Pumpkin**! We have a welcoming buffet out on the terrace. Please come this way. Sorry for the change in plans, everyone; there were a few… unanticipated problems… in Room Seven. Canape, anyone? Parfait? ---

More feminists who wanna come out and play can only be a good thing. Watch out for goats. It’s not a Wicca thing, just a goat thing. Or a goatse thing, or something like that. I like to say “thing” a lot, dunno why. ---

But do we want to control her? I mean…shouldn’t we knock her around and get her properly squidified? They’re all fired up and ready. We’re working on sharpening their suckers, too. We want this to be _memorable_. ---
