Do we really only have the one gay one? PS I read "i like the way you write" instinctively to the tune of "I like the way you move". It's far more intellectual your way, though.

I'M STILL PLANNING ON SENDING YOU A CARD. IT'S IN AN ENVELOPE AND EVERYTHING.

WELL, YOU'RE ONLY ONE DAY LATE IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE AN ARMENIAN USING THE JULIAN CALDENDAR

This is not going to end well.

Estelore,

Have you ever met his mom? Is she a nice lady? I do not get along well with my wife's parents. (see, I don't even call them my inlaws, they're my wife's parents)

How short are you? I've come to believe that Freelancer is only five-foot-three. Can you beat him up?

Do you prefer a bearded face, or unbearded? I've never had a beard; my wife supposes kissing a bearded face would be uncomfortable. She doesn't much care for two-day stubble.

i like the direction massassi is taking

i should get married as soon as possible just so my wife can hang out here!

I'm not going to get married because I don't want my husband here

I see enough of my wife at home, I don't want her all over my computer as well!

I'll respond in the order these posts were made:


Soul box? Is that like a Swear Box, and you have to put money into it every time you break out into a Patsy Cline impersonation?

Well, I've already confiscated all the sanities from Richard's Animorphs Forum (my home forum and Massassi-equivalent) and sealed them safely into green glass bottles. I suppose my soul will be fairly safe in this ordinary-looking can of Dr. Pepper.

I'll look into that NES thread, as per your suggestion.

Hallo to you, too, Martyn!

Dormouse, I don't really do any "kind" of essaying... it's a bit of a mix. Some research papers (Walt Whitman, architecture-related-stuffz, Albert Speer, an historic building in my hometown, etc...) and some kinda' historical critiques, especially anything involving the Roman empire, some social commentaries... *shrug* If it interests me, I write on it.
http://everything2.com/user/Estelore/writeups
That's a link to my Everything2 feed; it has several of my shorter pieces, as well as some random poetry and fiction in the mix.

Actually... I have in the past used the handle of a rake as a Jo stave... *shrug*
[That would probably be funnier if it weren't true. :P]

Thanks for the welcome, Spook.
Naw, Free is absolutely a dear IRL. He reserves his snark for you folks, and I see his best side.
Yes, he has a best side. [I felt it might be necessary to preempt that one.]
---
Genk, he hasn't done an Obi-Wan impersonation in a long time... I scarcely recall what they were like. Alas... >_< [Redo: He just waved his hand and said "These are not the droids you're looking for." in a low voice. He's laughing now while I post this.]
---
Hi, back, Koobie!
---
Thanks, Happydud, and... that's about exactly how it happened.
He was a little spooked at the prospect of me joining, not because of anything he's afraid of me seeing, more that he didn't know how I'd be received.
Free, your concerns appear to have been unnecessary.
---
Maybe I do... maybe I don't [call him Free IRL].
---
Stat: Your mom. ^_^
---
Thanks, Sugarless! Yes, I play classical piano; it makes up the largest part of my repertoire, in terms of things that other people write and which I play. That being said, I prefer improvising to covering/replaying existing pieces.
---
Zloc, Free says you aren't 12 years old.
---
Hi, Vin! Thanks; I hope you'll still like my writing after you've read the E2 stuff.
---
No worries, Baconfish; I have cookies here. I also have a Twix, but I'm not sharing. V_V
---
Steven, yes I have met his mother; she's a lovely and insightful lady.
I'm 5'2" with tall shoes at morning, and 5'0" barefoot at day's end (scoliosis is a loooovely condition /sarcasm).
Free is 5'11", significantly taller than I am.
I can beat him up (and he said "probably."), but he always wins at arm-wrestling.
However, I always win at thumb-wrestling. ^_^
I enjoy him unbeardly, but I really haven't had much interaction with his face in its beardly state, so I won't make any statement for one or the other.
Also, Free only just realized what your signature means, and only 'cause I pointed it out to him.
I bet he winces when I post that.
---
Oh, I don't mess with his computer. I have my own AlienWare M11x and a nasty-green Dell for backup; he has a desktop and a Toshiba laptop. Our technological possessions and spheres of influence are independent from each other. We just have a tendency to frequent similar online fora.

My wife is hotter than your wife:

*pokes Ragna*
I don't have a wife.

Also, I love my new user title. Thanks, whomever! ^_^ <3

Shouldn't that be FREE-onsay?
Also, welcome!

Fraggle Rock! I've double-posted.

As long as it isn't Peeonsay...

dagnabbit, I've spoken my own doom. >_<
But I like Freeonsay... it has the same number of letters as Peelancer. ^_^

lost me at INFJ

Hello!

I'm Bobbin

Are you my mother?



(Cookies for whoever knows what that is from)

I thought Free's real name was Pee Lancer.

Was it popular belief that you didn't intend to stay?

Amazing, just how many posts that newbloods get these days. Why, back in my day...

I'm surprised Freelancer hasn't told you to do otherwise. Not that you should listen to him if he does of course.

I would suggest reading only the last page (31). It won't make sense, but it won't make any more sense reading any more of it, and reading more/all of it would be akin to trying to read 7 Stephen King novels back to back. If it looks like fun to you, though, just dive in! Or at the very least, ask questions.

Any other musical instruments besides the piano-forte? I know I started with vocal music and learned to play the piano mainly so I could hear my part, then just kept going with it. I added a few other items to my list of things I could play.

Did you just stick with that or can you play anything else?

Also, don't hold anything Freelancer says on Massassi against him IRL. I'm sure he means well, lol.

I explained to her that most newbies here don't end up staying, especially if they are the SO of an existing member, so the thread title is intended to address that concern before people start talking about it.

Liberius: She also plays the clarinet, violin, ocarina, and probably several more I'm missing. We both played in a Beatles cover concert together recently (I play viola).

ORJ_JoS, sorry, no, your mother was a duck.

Gebohq, thanks for the warning.

Free, thanks for getting to Liberius for me. You neglected to mention recorder/fipple flute, lap harp (think dulcimer, but smaller), and coke bottle (I can play the "Jaws" theme on a soda bottle... which may or may not be a good thing).

I also whistle at a semi-pro level, and I sing in Welsh. I'd sing in English, but it's more fun when you can mock the listener without them knowing. ^_^

!!!

Why would you admit this in public?

because some people are confident in their heterosexuality Vornskr

Trust me, he gets plenty teasing from me about it.

That being said, I'm most confident in his heterosexuality. ^_^

The new fad is to parade your wife onto internet.

It happens elsewhere too.

Do you and Freelancer engage in battles of the wits

what is your favorite color

what is your favorite flower

what is your favorite color for flowers

what do you think of taxi fares in big American cities

do you think war is ever necessary

do you think it's ok for an American to spell words like a British person

what's your favorite tv show of all time

do you think doorbells should come with more features

would you agree that everyone is a morning person as long as they are a person in the morning

on a scale of 1-10 how important would you rate the yellow light of traffic lights as

and finally, would you rather eat the chicken or the egg?

Thanks.

kroko you are so creepy

i play cello (and bass geetar)

Hey look everyone, Rob is projecting!

Do you and Freelancer engage in battles of the wits We do, but not against each other. IRL he's not really the kind to enjoy conflict at all; I tend to psychologically slaughter people who insist on arguing pointlessly with me IRL.

what is your favorite color Kelly green

what is your favorite flower broken red/yellow tulip

what is your favorite color for flowers white

what do you think of taxi fares in big American cities Bus fares and subway passes are more economical in big cities; in smaller cities, cab fares are even worse than in NYC... *shrug* In the end, I prefer to hoof it, anyway, or to ride with somebody I know in person.

do you think war is ever necessary For the aggressors, rarely; for the 'victims', frequently, if they are still-developing countries. Diplomacy is still a sight more functional in the long run, but there have been an average of two new wars every year throughout recorded human history. War is a constant for our species; at this point I've accepted this as unavoidable.

do you think it's ok for an American to spell words like a British person I nearly always do; I think adding extra vowels improves the visual impact of many words.

what's your favorite tv show of all time Code Geass

do you think doorbells should come with more features My father's doorbell has thirty-six song options; he only uses one, and nobody rings it, anyway. As for me, I prefer to keep a dog: nobody ever needs to ring or knock.

would you agree that everyone is a morning person as long as they are a person in the morning Nope. Like my father, I have Delayed Sleep-Phase Syndrome (DSPS), which essentially forces me to be a night person whenever I am not trapped in a daytime class/work schedule. My sleep cycle is 25 hours, usually, and I'd rather stay awake all night and then sleep through the day, unless the weather of the day is glorious. I have no difficulties at all getting ready and lucid in the mornings... but I'd rather my conscious hours be after sundown.

on a scale of 1-10 how important would you rate the yellow light of traffic lights as 8; it gives me a reliable and fairly safe excuse to floor it for those last twenty feet across the intersection, instead of slowing down in anticipation of the light change.

Yes, I am a woman driver. I consider that stereotype to be true in a broad sense.

and finally, would you rather eat the chicken or the egg? If grilled and covered in rice, mushrooms, broccoli, and cheese, the chicken. If maple syrup and the AM hours are involved, the egg.

I play cello too, but viola? Yeesh.

?

viola is the retarded cousin of the violin. which i play.

Violin is the quadriplegic lovechild of the rebec and the viola da gamba. v_v
*is a violinist, as previously mentioned*

That being said, trombones very much improve upon the sackbut.


This entire post has just been an excuse to say "sackbut."
