As much as confetti looks like an Italian word... it isn't. Or, rather, it's the wrong word entirely.
What you all call "confetti" are actually called "coriandoli".
In Italy, confetti are sugared almonds, so it would be quite a waste to throw them...
Heyo, people. Well, it's me.
For those of you who don't know who I am (which I imagine is quite a few of you), I actually used to hang out at the PPC about a year ago. I wrote a few missions with the PPC, and had a bit of a good time with it. And then... well, a lot of things happened, and then I ended up leaving the PPC.
Well, I guess I can't really stay away all that long. I'll be honest: I missed this place, I really did. I actually debated coming back here for some time, 'cause there are things about this place I really missed.
So yeah. I'm back.
And... well, I think this needs to be said to some people (you know who you are):
I'm sorry. I'm sorry I was such a jerk when I left the PPC. I won't bother making excuses for that, because my doucheyness was unjustified and all that. And I'm sorry. I've had some time to think about it, though, and I think that I've become better in the past few months, so hopefully I won't be a jerk to you all.
So yeah. That's... well, I'm back.
Hey, Wozz. I missed you. Good to see you back. *fistbump*
Well, I don't know what happened because I just joined a few days ago, but nice to have you back anyway. (I'm sorry if that sounded awkward.)
Anyway, have a free Wonderball, a hollow chocolate ball filled with various candies.
Good to see you around again.
Well, hello. I can't say welcome back since I'm new here, and hadn't been very active until lately.
I present to you this fictional sword, made from 100% gallium. Use it to kill fictional ice creatures, check Wikipedia why, heheh.
It's good to see you again!
I don't know the drama that happened before, and I don't intend to learn. What matters is that you are back and ready to smack your head against the wall very hard due to badfic trauma!
Anyway, I'm glad to see more older people either coming back or popping in to say hi. It's good for newbies like me to be able to see those who have been around and making missions for us all to enjoy. As a return gift, I shall give you a nifty viking helmet, strait from Burk. It does not do much other then look cool, but in a pinch, the horns can be used to stab Sues.
...I can also make references to Ride of the Valkyries. Though, that would probably be incorrect since the original production of Wagner's Ring cycle used winged helmets rather than viking helmets.
But thanks! =D
*throws welcome confetti*

...I'm kind of hungry now. But really, that's very cool to know!
Have some return chocolate, and don't worry, we all do things we regret...
HerrWozzeck! We missed you. Well, I missed you. Good to have you back!
Glad to see you again.
Welcome back! I was sad to see you (and others) go, though I understood why. I know we haven't talked a lot personally, but you always seemed like a nice person from your posts and your agents and missions were some of my favourites.
So I'm really happy that you decided to rejoin.
How have you been holding up? Have some hydrophobic water on the house. Consumption may or may not increase productivity*!
*Do you feel lucky? Do you?
Things have changed quite a bit for me since the last time I was here. I'm now in grad school, off in a different city, the works.
Thanks for the hydrophobic water. I could always use an increase in productivity these days.
And how've you been?
Don't worry about past wrongs my friend, as long as you're willing to start anew, we're happy to have you here. Have some Bleeprin to get you back on track.
Ah, Bleeprin, how I've missed you. *looks at the bottle*
I don't know what all went on, and I won't pry about it. As such, I'm happy to see you come back and apologize for whatever you needed to apologize for. :)
Being a Board newbie, I don't really know what went on, but returning older, wiser, and bridge-mending is generally a good thing, and much better than not coming back at all :) So welcome back!
