Also, just to add to what papaya said, not only do not many stay, not many make such an impact. We kind of wade in through the shallow area, you jumped in the deep end. Most people are rather quiet at the start and slowly make themselves known, but you came in here all guns blazing! Which isn't a bad thing, just since you've come in, and Matt, there's been so much more activity - I think some people didn't know what to make of it.

TheInsomniac

My first impression of Theinsomniac was that he was the coolest guy ever, and i want his babies.

I remember how much your avatar used to weird me out at first.

Now I get it. :goof:

Got to say I also thought logos was a guy, but wasn't there someone who swore blind logos was a computer generated message? :rolleyes:

Indeed I did :crash:

Thanks, mono! I wouldn't consider myself well-read, but I'm trying!!
How long have you been away for, Mono? I feel like I remember you for some reason...

I was just making an observation that most people here have been, I think, wary of me? at first? I don't know how to explain it.

I think i read a post of your somewhere in the facinity of General literature when you were only a few posts into your post count that made me think that...couple of posts after that, you discovered General Chat and that was the end of that!

Yeah I understand, it's always like that with newbies.

But you could argue that the snobbish people here aren't the ones who situate themselves in the general lit section ( for this is, well, a literature site ) but those who distance themselves from newbies because of these impressions they've formed on the basis of well... nothing, eh?

I do think that everyone is naturally a little protective over their "territory" when it comes to newcomers though. Even if that territory is a website ;)

Well, when I saw your picture (which was the first post of yours that I looked at, I think), I thought, "This person is very welcome here." :D Haha, I'm horrible.

Okay, I'll play.

Silas Thorne reminded me of a traveler who is both sage and lyrical. I really dig his low key sense of humor. He may slip something clever by you if you're not paying attention.

limabean, my little limabean. Well, at first I thought you must really be into yourself because most people I've run across who look as stunning as you do and post pics as quickly as you did send a flag up for me. HOWEVER, once we started talking I realized how genuine, smart, talented, creative and wonderfully mischievous you are. Even better, I don't think you even know how easy on the eyes you are. And the best part is that you're a rarity who won't even need your looks to get where you want to go. Born on the cusp and doubly blessed.

Jojo is a kindred soul to me. The first time I interacted with her I could tell. It's that simple.

*C*C* reminds me of my daughter. I saw the horses and the mention of being a Hitchcock fan and it clicked for me. It's weird but I felt an instant connection to you.

KizPaws has a way of framing the world via her pictures that makes me feel like I know her. It was another instantaneous thing, I saw her pics and thought that if I had half of her talent that's how I'd frame what she was seeing too.

Niamh I don't really know yet but that sideways pic she has up with the knowing smile made me feel like she could see what I was up to. I don't think anyone could easily fool her.

Sprinks seems like a bundle of energy and a lot of fun.

Logos reminded me of my neighbor who is from Canada. She inherited all of my neighbors qualities :D

I'm a huge film fan period! Supernatural horror done correctly (The Innocents, The Others, The Haunting etc) is one of my favorite genres.

As for the hilarious part, it's purely coincidental ;)

Me too! Not a huge fan of the supernatural, but The Others was a great movie.

Uh huh, sure it is.;):D

Oh, come now, I saw that 'Anatomy & Physiology' book in your hands in your pictures. Ah, how I remember those days, the 400-level A&P, the microbiology, histology, organic chemistry . . . :eek2:

I cannot remember, over a year, no doubt. I would stop by from time to time, but have kept ridiculously busy these past years (working, writing, traveling, keeping up with life, etc.), but at least now it seems far less chaotic.

Ah haha that makes me studious, not well-read! And sometimes I'm not even studious enough! Oh I'm not far enough along yet for micro and histo. I am doing organic chem though:sick: Were you a science major?

Hmm..maybe I've seen you on one of your forays back then. That's good things are less chaotic. Welcome back!

Sorry for the tangent...

Yikes, o-chem! I loved it, even though it felt so overwhelming! A&P I considered my favorite, and I still do volunteer tutoring from time to time at a nearby university.
I started out as a pre-med major, and finished most of the prerequisites, but applied to nursing school out of a whim, partially serious, partially joking, got accepted, and went with that. Not a lot of my coworkers took o-chem, histology, and such, but at least it would make the transition for me easier, if I ever wanted to advance my degree to a nurse practitioner (FNP) or anesthetist (CRNA).
What about you? Science major? Med?

The first thing I thought about Sprinks was that she was wonderfully cheerful. :)

Thought that is supposed to be taken as a compliment after one turns 40! :p

It was probably because you were "playing" with the young'uns...

I have an aged body and a youthful soul... it's but one quandary underscored by the wisdom of passing years, no?

Well, the "aged body" depends who you are hanging out with, I guess.

I usually hang out with people who are waaaaayyy older than me; then, I am the fresh and young'un! ;)

You can always befriend Virgil and Claes on the Forum to feel you to feel youthful, for example!

:D

Ah, I see. Yeah, I can imagine that would make the transition a lot easier.

Yeah, I'm a BSc in Animal Biology major, which is basically pre-vet.

Yeah see - i've never quite understood that. The whole, taking a photo of yourself if you are attractive means you're in to yourself thing. It's kind of unfair. It's almost like saying that someone who is attractive is showing off every time they walk down the street and people look at them.

I dunno, it's usually those younger than myself who claim to know more than I and perhaps they are correct! Put me up there with my wolf-brother Virgil... :)
