Hello, I'm blackcrayon and I'm new. I know being a nOOb (or what ever you call it) is not exactly a desirable attribute, but if anyone is willing to waste their time by introducing themselves to be I'd be much obliged. Besides, I have pints! (down, Pippin.)
Anyway. Things you should know about me: I am a girl. At the other forum i visit sometimes some people thought I was a guy. sad but true. (btw, "the other forum" happens to be The One Ring.com, which all things concidered is a pretty good site.)
Thing number two...In my free time I like to write stories and poems and things like that. I like watching people perform Shakespeare for reasons I have not yet figured out. I have an abnormal fear of answering machines. and I like spending time with my computer, exept when I'm mad at it, in which case I hover around it, cursing and muttering things about ripping out its cords and throwing it out a seventh story window.
Is there anyone out there with advice, etc.? I'd love to hear it! ummm...I think thats about it. (Dang it! I never know how to end posts) so... ah, have a nice day....?

Hi Blackcrayon . I'm Shieldmaiden, though my nickname is SM. It's great having you here. I hope I'll be seeing you around. If you have any questions about the A-U forums just ask me or anyone else on the Welcoming Team.

Hello new person (new person being a nice friendly term). LOL! I know what you mean about computers - I often feel like throwing mine out of the window. I'm Johnny's Fan by the way or JF. I hope you enjoy yourself here and if you need any questions answering just ask!

oh, hello! and welcome to the A-U forum!! i'm Gwenneth, or Gwen for short. newbies are anything but a waste of time, Blackcrayon! us Welcoming Team members love to welcome.

ooohh, i love writing, too! only stories, and such, though. poetry does not float my boat. too many rules for my mind. but i deeply admire those who can write poems!

ah yes, i have a love/hate relationship with my computer. without it, i wouldn't get to meet all these fun people, or even go to A-U (now that's the scariest thought that's ever entered my head )!!! but i hate it sometimes when it locks up, or just acts crazy for no reason (thinks she should start a computer support group )!

well, anyway. advice? mmm...yeah, i got some in there...i think. lol naw really, i'd love to help you with any problems or questions that you have. not only i, but the whole rest of the Welcoming Team is at your service. *bows*

welp, i hope you enjoy your stay! post, post, post!

~Gwen

Hello SM, JF and Gwen! thank you for the lovely welcoming remarks! I guess everyone else has nicknames so...you can call me BC although that sounds rather prehistoric. About the computer support group, good idea! in fact i have a number of computer parts hanging around my house...sometimes i feel like sticking a circut board or something onto a stick as a sort of warning when my computer is being especially disagreeable. Maybe with a sign saying something like, "I am not a patient person. I destroy computers!!!"
...Doin' science homework.

Hullo Blackcrayon I'm Alassiel, welcome to the forum If you look around I'm sure you'll find other people that can help you with your *cough, cough* situation, lol. I'm sure that you'll fit right in here, enjoy yourself.
Alassiel

Greetings and Blackcrayon. I'm Elenriel or Elen for short. It's very nice to meet you. I'm so glad you decided to join us.

I love spending time on my computer as well...except when it moves to slowly or does not cooperate with me. Then I feel like doing this...

Anyway, I hope you have a super fun time here and I'll see you around.

Hello Balckcrayon!!!

OMG! someone Ican relate to on the matter of bloody computers!!!! My computer is a bloody piece of junk and it never works correctly!!! It's always freezing up and it can barely load anything anymore... I too wish I could throw it out my bedroom window, but I think Daddy would probably get pretty mad....he's the one with the good computer...

^Sorry, for that little rant...anyhoo,

Welcome to the forum, i'm Larael Greenleaf, but you can just call me Larael, becuase that's loads easier...I think. If you have any questions or problems don't hesitate to ask me or anyone else-we would love to help you.

Iguess that's it, so I'll see you around!

Welcome to the forum, Blackcrayon! I'm Elenmir, or Miri for short. I absolutely hate my computer as well, unless it does something extremely kind, like loading websites quickly (which happens once in a blue moon). I hope you enjoy yourself.
~Miri
