Greetings Everyone
« on: August 24, 2007, 11:21:18 PM »
Hullo. I just joined the site and thought I should introduce myself. My name's Elisabeth though I use either Alektos or Morganna online. (I like those names. >.>) I'm nineteen years old and in college. I've been in the military as a dependent my whole life so I've moved around often. I was born in Oxfordshire in the UK and have lived in Ohio, Louisiana, Rheinland Pfalz (in Germany), and North Yorkshire (in the UK). I presently live in Mississippi and am taking classes at a local college. I'm also trying to learn to drive. (You have to wait till you're eighteen in Europe.)
My hobbies include horseback riding, playing video games (that one's obvious given my presence here), listening to music (mostly classical which is how I became so obsessed with game music), and, of, course anime and manga. My favorite anime is Inu Yasha because it's the first one I ever saw. Shockingly I'd never heard of Piano Squall until about four days ago while reading the August issue of Newtype magazine. Of course I immediately rushed to my computer and looked him up on You Tube. I've never been to a convention (or a concert) which I intend to rectify as soon as I can drive legally.
I'm usually very busy because I like to cram my schedule full of activities. (If I'm idle, I get bored.) But feel free to message me at any time. I put some contact info on my profile, but beware the Yahoo sn, I didn't get to add @yahoo.com to the end because my sn is so long. If I ever cosplayed I'd probably do someone from Dot Hack or Gravion Zwei. I'm user friendly. ^_^

I'll be browsing the site for a while, but if you don't catch me online then you'll probably see me later on during the week. I'm on predominantly in the evenings especially during the weekend as I have classes Monday through Thursday. Ciao for now.

PS Hah hah...I'm so silly. I originally posted this on one of the general boards. It's typical me to completely overlook this one. Anyways, I moved my intro here. >.>

Pardon me, but it isn't that I think I'm better than anyone else. In fact there are lots of things I can't do well and I'd be the first to admit it. I use the font Papyrus because it's my favorite and everyone can read it unlike the Impact font I use equally as often. About the only thing I do do well is be my usual crazy self and if you can't accept it...then too bad, it's who I am and I don't change for people who choose not to see my better qualities.

[unoriginal font] Welcome Alektos!

Since GAME's come out, Michael has been announcing where advertisements have shown up. When he announced August's NewType, I was overjoyed because I knew that that would get people to show up. I bought the issue just for the ad, and I'm not the only forum member who did that, either. ~_^

So we're glad to have you aboard. ::::Moxieglompfetti::: Post when you can, and post lots! ^_^

(I don't know the rules in Mississippi, but in New York, you've got to be eighteen to drive, too. It's silly, I think. And Papyrus is the BEST FONT EVER.)

And by the way, RR was kidding. I know it doesn't come across very well on the internet, and I don't expect you to have known that since you're new, but that's just how he is (with the bad jokes, I mean); please don't think that that sort of attitude represents the forums, because we're not as trollish as that post may have seemed. Sorry for any misunderstanding![/unoriginal font]

Yes, I was debating that very factor since his other posts were pretty friendly, albeit sarcastic. But I'm a pretty literal person. >.>

Not bad so much as poorly delivered. She's new; how was she to know that you really weren't insulting her? Either way, the air has been cleared, so let's not dwell on it.

And everyone else, where the heck are you? Welcome the new person!!

Hello Alektos *traditional welcoming glomp*
Another fan of Inu Yasha - that's great.  And in case you didn't already know, Piano Squall has performed at least two songs from Inu Yasha - Every Heart (4th ending) and Change the World (1st opening).
Well, hope to see you around the forums.

glompers are nothing to be taken lightly my friend they have been known to cause surprise heart attacks, back and shoulder pain, concussion and even liver cancer.
