me, half-avoiding sleep, haha. brain function isn't at its greatest, but i figured i'd at least give a brief 'hey' before running off.
huge anifan since.... book 10. i vividly remember ordering the book through scholastic in the fifth grade; i've been hooked since. i used to pretend that i could relate best to rachel (in a bad way, haha). now, i couldn't tell you (don't you find it hard not to love them all?), but i'm currently trying to get in touch with my inner cassie. ;) (mostly because i take a pretty brutal, anti-person approach to everything, which is bad. xD)
now i'm out of college (master's in architectural engineering- fancy way of saying that i know how buildings work) and working public sector for an agency i'm not mentioning, because it could be crazyhooplah if anyone knew.
i'm def looking foward to networking with people here- i SWEAR i don't bite (unless you're picking a fight. then i might get a little snippy.), so please, impress me with your awesomeness. =) i love awesome people.

*swirls his cloak and enters the room. He notices itw, and bows in a gentlemanly way.*
Welcome to RAF, Miss Itw. I am Cloaky, resident Realm Walker. Before I leave you, I must warn you that, as sort of an initiation, the seal will be procuring your sanity. It's best not to resist.
-
*two-fingered salute* thanks for the welcome. :)
"the seal"? *eyebrow*
excellent. NOW the paranoia has set in (i'll also note 'paranoia's proximity to 'insanity'). ;)
i'm all up for taking a crash course in RAFian, to be honest. just glancing over threads, i note a LOT of local jargon with which i am woefully unfamiliar (and have no hope of interpreting without some help, ahaha). ^^;;
-
I'll be happy to translate -- except for things that were befoer my time.

Hey there itw, welcome to the forum! I'm Terenia, pleased to make your acquaintance. You're most likely to run into me over on the Animorphs Chat board and the RPG board. Enjoy your stay!
-
Hi! Welcome to RAF! We're glad you're here! I hope you dive right in but, as Cloaky says, if you need any assistance or have any questions, feel free to let us or a staff member know.
I hope you will join us in RAFchat some time. When I joined this wonderful forum a few months ago, I found it to be a good way to meet RAFians and become integrated into the community.

Welcome to RAF! I'm Gaz, nice to meet you.
-
Why hello thar.
I'm Mr. Guy, currently trying to hang out here more like the old times. I'm the originator and (when not struck by laziness) coordinator of the Audiobook project, along with Jess and numerous others.
I'll go get the seal.
-
Seal gotten. He managed to pry me away from my computer game. Civilization. Addicting. *twitch*
Anyway, (I'm very lazy, so I shall make my post brief) welcome to RAF! I'm Horsefan, call me Horse, Horsie, or Seal, because, as you've heard from multiple sources, I am a seal. THE seal.
The SANITY collecting seal. So, please, hand it over. Otherwise...I'll lock you in a dark room, rip it out of the top of your head, stick it in a green glass bottle, and throw it down the incin--chute. *covers sign over "chute" that says "Incinerator"*
Once again, welcome, I'm sure you'll have a great time here!
-
wow! hey, all; nice meet 'n greet. xD;
@cloaky- thank you. =)
@terenia- nice to be formally acquainted. =D i sense a kindred intelligence in you, and i look forward to seeing you around.
@marie- ^_____^ thanks! i will be sure to hunt you down if i manage to thoroughly confuse myself, haha. (love foxes, btw. =3 i did a naruto stint back in the day and, well, i've been kinda hooked since.)
@dameg- HOLY CRAP. I WILL NEVER BE BORED AGAIN.
...i take that back (i know me too well). but i'll look into the ebook thing; having most of the series, i'm sure i can help. =)
@gaz- nice to meet you! =)
@mr. guy- love the sig. =D i RPed as naruto for several months a while back, so you could say i'm a fan. ^^ the audiobook sounds like a LOT of fun- i'll def check out what you all have done.
@seal- excellent. well, i HAVE been using my sanity far too frequently of late, and it did need a good airing out. *hands over*
-
Ah, thank you very much! *throws it down chute*
-
Hey itw! So... you seem to be finding your way around RAF just fine. You've given up your sanity to the seal. You know this is a ridiculously awesome community (or you're beginning to suspect, anyway)... Yeah, I'd say you're doing pretty well!
Welcome to RAF! Enjoy! Or, you know, some other slogan.
-
yea, you know: had to get all those little details out of the way.
=) thanks for the welcome!
-
wow i'm late. well anyways hi itw. i'm hey you i mean shorty.
-
nice.
how d'you do, shorty? (the 6'2" one, i mean... lol) ;)
-
Welcome to our happy little asylum eh? i am your resident Canada patriot, beavers and all eh! You'll probably see me most in the media boards, or posting my fanfictions which will probably still be in progress by armageddon. Have fun! Have a RAFpop! make fun of the animorphs TV show! Relive the books! Do whatever the hell you want to eh! Have fun, oh, and don't diss Canada eh! If you do, I will be forced to Go on a horrific Ranting spree, and god forbid that happens!
-
thaaank you. =)
i'll admit, i had a snort moment when you mentioned the tv show.
THAT was power rangers on crack-eighties special effects.
xD; i will avoid any mention of canada in a negative context. ...and i have only ever met one canadian who DID do the whole 'eh?' thing. end of nearly every sentence. strangest thing i've ever heard.
oh, wait. then there are conversations that go:
"...and she was, like,..."
"...and you were, like,..."
"...and i was, like,..."
that's just poor vocabulary speaking. or poor conjugation skills, i really can't tell which. /rant, lol. ^^; nothing to do with canada, there. that's good old 'american' speaking.
-
nice.
how d'you do, shorty? (the 6'2" one, i mean... lol) ;)
6'2"? Did I shrink? Am I THAT old? Well IDK about the 6'2" one is doing but te 6'8" one is doing fine, atm hungry, but fine. :D
-
nice.

D: i will never forget how tall you are again.
xD; you are even taller than my dad. maaadness.
-
Well, he's taller than me -- outside RAF, that is. In reality, I'm somewhere between 5'9 and 5'11.
Inside RAF, and my RAFsona, I'm an eight-foot tall Realm Walker.
-
Welcome to RAF! I'm Jess, the other RAF teacher. :P
-
Hey itw! I'm Tara, welcome to RAF :D
-
Welcome to RAF! I'm Jess, the other RAF teacher. :P
I've already read that somewhere... O_o
-
official "hellos" to everyone~ ^^
just to make it official, cloaky wins the "tallest RAFian i know" contest.
&&thanks Jess and Tara; no guarantees that i will remember your names, but i will try. D:<
dameg- "the other RAF teacher"? ^^; i'm still learning everyone's occupations, soooo......
-
Well, it'll be easy for me: I have absolutely NO occupation right now ^^'
-
D:
uhhmmm... are you in school/university, then? or are you just a bum?
jk. ;) i have a lot of friends (in western europe in particular) who're kinda 'in transition'. =o (that's how they put it, i guess, haha~)
-
I'm in "transition" between my Japanese studies and my other studies... Just don't still now what we be the "other" studies... Tourism or translation... more probabilities for tourism.
-
Nah, she's really a bum ;D
Just kiiiidding Dameg :D
-
I'm in "transition" between my Japanese studies and my other studies... Just don't still now what we be the "other" studies... Tourism or translation... more probabilities for tourism.
I've always thought tourism would be super fun to do...would definitely force you to learn a lot of cool history.
-
@dameg- oooh, tourism. sweet.
so if i come visit you, you will give me the BEST insights into ALL the best places EVERYWHERE?
;D
i also like the idea of translation- it's like an art.
@myitt- LMAO. (yeah, even if she won't admit it...) ;) ;)
@comet- inorite? i loove hands-on history. i've considered volunteering to do tours with some historic places where i live, but i don't have the time. ^^; so i just visit them on weekends! soo much fun. =)
-
I'm not a bum... because by chance my parents have a house ^^'
But I'll probably be if no school accept me or if I don't succeed this studies.
Well, I'd be more into cultural tourism, particularly about Japan. I just saw the director today and sat the tests. They'll tell me next week if they take me or not. That's for tourism.
Now, for translations, I don't know. I can try to sit the test, but I don't think I'll be enough good in English to succeed them, so...
