Welcome a-Board, newbie of some relation to sort-of-newbie KittyNoodles. I feel somewhat belated in posting this, but I think that's just because of the posting spree you went on while I was away doing stuff in places.

A few links I feel I should point you towards would be the the ones for the Constitution, the IRC, and the Wiki, up top. The Constitution contains pretty much all of the rules for our community and should be worshiped with the utmost piety (unless of course you know how to detect a joke, in which case just follow the rules). I see you said that IRCs aren't really your thing, but it's a good place to go if you just want to talk or share random links like you've been doing above. The Wiki is a place for information on basically everything. If you ever have a question, the Wiki is the first place to go, especially about stuff like Permission and other procedures. Other than that, this is the Board where I lurk most of the time. Beware of carnivorous plants.

So to end my rant and fulfill the tradition of gift giving for newbies, I hand you this bag-o-stuff that I got from my journey to the dark forests of nowhere. I includes a water gun, an oar, and a Italian-English dictionary. Enjoy!

Hi! Have some fudge!

Welcome to the PPC! Seeing as you like specs, have a pair of light moonglasses to commemorate the event!

Heyooo, newbie! -tosses cylinder- You can measure things with it! Have fun!

Here, have a cookie!

Since I'm currently running around fanfiction, I'm going to hand the uncannonical and very unusual Firebolt 2006 I just found off to you. It may induce schizophrenia, I'm not sure, but I find myself afraid of flying.

Welcome to the PPC, Specs. Have a crate of Bleepka, you might need it. Also, have you come by the IRC yet? Me don't bite, honest!

Glad to meet you, SpecstacularSC! I hope you'll have a lovely time here. (Glad to see anotehr LOTR fan, too. :D )

I hereby direct you to please read our Constitution if you have not done so already, a link to which can be found at the top of the Board, so's you know the general do's and dont's of our community. Other than that, hang around, chat, and generally enjoy yourself. :)

Have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object, they always come in handy.

That was not supposed to sound so ... alien.
Anyway, what fandoms are you part of?
Also, as a gift have a pack of cans of CAFfine. Guaranteed to contain the most hyper of Cute Animal Friends.*

Don't get me egged!

Also, as is customary, I present thee with an egg. A silver egg, because the golden one was taken already.

What are your fandoms, dear brother?
