Greetings
« on: March 22, 2009, 09:35:49 pm »
Alright, so I've never been good with introductions but here we go:

Greetings, My name is Jacob, I'm 23 years olds and I've been an alcoholic for... no wait, wrong place. I've been a writer for as long as I can remember, I suppose I should say a frustrated writer. It's sort of a love/hate relationship I have with writing. I love it but I hate the fact that it takes me a long time to complete anything. I have 3 novels that I've started but never finished and numerous short stories in the same condition. But I keep at for I love it so.

What else can I say? I live a very unremarkable life. I'm the "under the radar" type of guy, that is, if the radar doesn't detect the skinny, pale dudes standing right next to you. I like long walks on the beach and candle lit dinners... wrong place again. I like long walks off short piers and dinner with people more interesting than I - well, I shouldn't say I like those types of dinners but that's usually the kind I find myself - I'm a professed heterosexual male but seem to only get noticed by postmenopausal women (still trying to figure that one out), and I have no discernable skills.

That's me.

Claimed! and hello!

I am editing this ex post facto, but eh.

Welcome to the IF forums! You've met Milady Alise, I think. I'll think of more when my adrenaline stops rushing

GOD DAMN IT! I was waiting for them to come online too! No one was online, and then you came online, but they logged off before introducing themselves. JEEBUS SUBBBB! Stealing my noob prospects.

Welcome Leto. I welcomed you on the other site with open arms. I do the same here.

The rules:

1 - Watch out for TheMilkman

2 - Watch out for TheMilkmen

3 - Never confuse sold's gender (whatever it may be)

4 - Flattery will get you everywhere (see TheMilkman)

5 - British accents are fun to listen to

6 - Typographical errors are more common than makeouts (read: often)

6.5 - Don't worry about it.

7 - When in doubt say nothing. And then run.

8 - Bran is automatically funny. No questions asked.

9 - Syllables, contrary to popular belief, can in fact kill you.

10 - Never declare your sarcasm

11 - Words are sexual.

12 - Carmal soda is the #1 investion.

12.5 - Yes, investion

13 - It is best to make your screenname as obtuse and unpronounceable as possible (see rule 5)

14 - To compensate for his terribly prosaic name, Dan will consistently give every new person he meets a rather bizarre pseudonym. (i.e subliminiminal ---> tibiddo)

14.5 - Note that Dan is away on his tour of the foreign world, his quest being to collect all known syllables. Out of respect, no pseudonyms will be awarded during his absence.

15 - Don't too giggle hard when eating cookies. No matter what people may say, solid food can and will come out your nose and, when it does, it's painful.

16 - Anyone who complains about members quoting other members in their siggys will be quoted in a siggy. But only if it genuinely annoys them.

17 - Nothing can ever compare to the awesomeness (and hawtness) that is ironypills, hence the phrase "Well it's okay, but it's no ironypills"

18 - Ironypills is IF's resident memologist. She is the authority on all IndyFluency memes.

19 - All new users must be CLAIMED at first possible opportunity. The person who claims the most users is winning.

20 - This forum is for the sole purpose of training and expanding the IF armed forces. When neoeno deems the forces advanced enough, he will declare war on 4chan.

21 - NO CHILD PORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

22 - Any rule which is a palindrome and also contains no 'e's is automatically true, unless it conflicts with any explicitly declared rule.

23 - Tell her bobman.

24 - Incretion, it's a religious experience!

25 - Naked gay boys have naked gay sex is ALWAYS accepted.

Industry rule No. 4080 - Record company people are shaaaaadyyyy
(So kids watch your back, 'cause I think they smoke crack. I don't doubt it, look at how they act.)

If that's a good thing, then I accept. But I should let you know, I never put out on the first "claiming."

Claiming is mandatory. You are welcome to claim noobs at your own discretion.

Man alise I totally warned you on the other forum.

Claiming is hazing without the hazing and without the striped primary-colored polo shirts. Nothing actually happens, but you can start claiming ASAP (I think ironypills got the ball rolling by 'claiming' me).

What else can I say? I live a very unremarkable life. I'm the "under the radar" type of guy, that is, if the radar doesn't detect the skinny, pale dudes standing right next to you. I like long walks on the beach and candle lit dinners... wrong place again. I like long walks off short piers and dinner with people more interesting than I - well, I shouldn't say I like those types of dinners but that's usually the kind I find myself - I'm a professed heterosexual male but seem to only get noticed by postmenopausal women (still trying to figure that one out), and I have no discernable skills.

I see what you did there.with the pier. and the contradiction.and the funny.

No worries, bro. No one is ever nondescript here because it is the internet! Here you are the Fischer King! (well not really, I'm sure if Robin Williams ever joined IF you'd have to give that up posthaste). Well at the very least you are an IF kid, which subscribes you to the Awesome Anyways club.

I suppose I'll introduce myself to you. I'm Alise (obvs), one of the younger members of the forum (17). Also one of the shorter. Some of them like to make fun of me for that one -.-
Anywho. Like I said, I hope you enjoy the forum. Pay attention to those first 2 rules.

No one ever does. Then being awesome just catches up with you one day.

Yes, and here you get a laminated card in the mail (estimated 2-4 weeks of processing and delivery) and we serve purple bottles of pabst blue ribbon at the meetings. Also we don't wear fez hats.
