Just saying hi. by Vivi on 2012-05-23 01:27:00 UTC Reply

I'm a recent discoverer of the community. And I find it, frankly, awesome. As a newcomer I'd like to introduce myself.
I am a medical student from Mexico. I have been learning English almost since Kindergarten, but since it's not my native language some mistakes might pop up from time to time.
My hobbies are reading, watching anime and sleeping. Yes, really.
Anyways, nice to meet you. And.. uh... That's it, I guess. Hello to everyone!

A fellow anime nerd eh? Well, welcome to the PPC, and feel free to leave your sanity at the door. Have some 2-D glasses, certain to compress that pesky extra dimension or your money back!

Hello by Vivi on 2012-05-23 22:14:00 UTC Reply

Considering I'm in medical school I might not have that much sanity to begin with. I'm sure I'll not miss it.

Thanks for the glasses! *puts them on* I looks so weird.

Hey there? by Matthew72 on 2012-05-23 15:30:00 UTC Reply

Welcome to the PPC! I know we've met, but what the hey.

In case you haven't seen them already, you may want to look at our Newbie Guide, Board Guide, General Guide to the PPC, and our newly revised Constitution. I hope you'll find them useful and helpful and stuff.

Anyway, since I'm sure you had your fill of junk food in the IRC, have a (totally not combustible) lemon! But only one, I need the rest for pie.

Hi, have some fudge!

Thank you! I love fudge.

Hello There! by desdendelle on 2012-05-23 13:37:00 UTC Reply

Here, have a cup of tea. Just watch the leaves, they might try to eat you...

Thanks for the tea by Vivi on 2012-05-23 15:08:00 UTC Reply

What do you mean, try to eat me? It is safe to drink, isn't it?

Re: Thanks for the tea by desdendelle on 2012-05-23 15:39:00 UTC Reply

Well, of course it's safe.
-Drinks the tea, and is eaten by the leaves-
See?

Uh, ok? by Vivi on 2012-05-23 15:54:00 UTC Reply

Well, if you say so...
*Starts drinking the tea and is attacked by the leaves*
Eek!

Hello there! by HimochiIsAwesome on 2012-05-23 12:01:00 UTC Reply

Nice to meet you! So you're from Mexico? Cool!

I think lots of people's hobbies include reading, watching anime and sleeping, or at least, all the people I know, ahaha...

Have this Box of Infinity as a welcome gift!

Warning! Box of Infinity may melt your brain. Batteries not included.

Hi! by Vivi on 2012-05-23 15:12:00 UTC Reply

Yes. I'm from the south, but I am currently living in the north. Because of reasons.

I'm normally sleep deprived during the semester, so I take advantage of vacations to sleep all the hours I didn't.

Hey! Thanks for the... What do you mean it may melt my brain? I need my brain!

Re: Hi! by HimochiIsAwesome on 2012-05-23 16:07:00 UTC Reply

Oh, don't worry about it... while you're here, would you like a melt-proof brain? They're going for the bargain price of only £100 (and your first-born child)!

Well... by Vivi on 2012-05-23 18:19:00 UTC Reply

Given that I doubt I will ever have a first-born to exchange (or have £100, for that matter), I think I'll just proceed with caution.

Thanks for the offer, anyways.

Hello There Friend! by Crimson Flight on 2012-05-23 09:49:00 UTC Reply

Welcome to the PPC! Here, have my everlasting friendship!

Hello by Vivi on 2012-05-23 15:14:00 UTC Reply

Thank you! I give my everlasting friendship in return. I haven't just sold my soul, right?

Re: Hello by Crimson Flight on 2012-05-25 11:21:00 UTC Reply

Of course not! I would never attempt to buy anyone's soul! There isn't much of a market for them, and they start to smell after a while when left outside a human body!

Re: Hello by Vivi on 2012-05-25 19:12:00 UTC Reply

Oh, what a relief! I would hate to have to explain to my current roommate that she has to fight with someone else for my soul.

Regardless to what anyone says, she is a devil. Doesn't look it, but I can see through her lies! ò.ó

Hi you. by Ellipsis Flood on 2012-05-23 07:43:00 UTC Reply

Have an awesome-laced cookie.

Tasty by Vivi on 2012-05-23 15:15:00 UTC Reply

Thanks for the cookie! Mmmm... tastes like awesome.

Hey-oh. by SeaTurtle on 2012-05-23 07:17:00 UTC Reply

Welcome to the Board! Have some of my hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. Fun to play with but not to drink.

Hydrophobic water? by Vivi on 2012-05-23 15:17:00 UTC Reply

How does that work? Anyways, thank you! I'll remember not to drink it, promise.

Welcome to the board, fellow traveller of borderlands. It's always nice to meet the newcomers and I will be watching your contributions with great interest. Out of interest, do you have any specific area of medicine you plan to practice in the future?

As a welcoming gift, here is an autographed copy of the latest issue of Soldier of Misfortune Magazine. I wrote an article in this issue about the benefits and drawbacks of recruiting Central Asian child soldiers, including several case studies.

Well... by Vivi on 2012-05-23 15:03:00 UTC Reply

I am currently most interested in neurology and psychiatry. I find the human brain a fascinating subject of study. It is very complex and many of its functions are still a mystery to science.

Good to have you a-Board! by doctorlit on 2012-05-23 05:09:00 UTC Reply

Greetings again, new friend! Help yourself to the sack of venomous invertebrates. Don't worry; they ~~don't~~ bite!

Thanks? by Vivi on 2012-05-23 15:04:00 UTC Reply

Are they spiders? They aren't spiders, right? Right?

They might be. by doctorlit on 2012-05-23 15:31:00 UTC Reply

They might spiders! They might also be scorpions! Or centipedes, or bees . . . you'll never know until you reach in and grab one!

*holds out sack*

I hope it's not a spider by Vivi on 2012-05-23 16:04:00 UTC Reply

I suppose I can deal with something not a spider. Maybe, I think.

*reaches into the sack and pulls out an annoyed wasp*

AAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

*throws the wasp away and runs to hide behind a couch*

Help!

Hallo! by Ivan the Not-so-Terrible on 2012-05-23 04:35:00 UTC Reply

Welcome to the board! Have an anime pie. I'm not sure whether it's safe to eat, though. Anyway, nice to meet ya!

Pie! by Vivi on 2012-05-23 15:19:00 UTC Reply

Pie! Don't worry about those things. We have a saying that goes: It it's not hairy and moving, it's safe to eat.

Besides, I'm on the seafood diet. (I see food, I eat it)

Fandoms by Vivi on 2012-05-23 04:01:00 UTC Reply

I absolutely love reading. My favorite books are on the fantasy genre (Artemis Fowl, His Dark Materials), but I don't limit myself to it. My favorite fandoms, literature wise and besides the materials above mentioned, are the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter ones. I have been able to find wonderful fics there.
With anime I tend to prefer the short series. My favorite is Full Metal Alchemist, it was the first anime I watched and, given I'm sort of a sentimental sap, it's special to me. I'm currently into One Piece, thanks to my roommates influence (and it took her a long time to convince me to watch it) and I'm finding it entertaining. Other anime I'm currently watching is Jormungand. I highly recommend it, but it might not be for everyone.
And I love video games, rpgs specially.

Re: Fandoms by The Rabbit from Hourai on 2012-05-23 13:00:00 UTC Reply

You wouldn't happen to be a Touhou fan would you? I only ask because I met one on the internet who went by the name of Vivi and was from a country that I don't remember in Central/South America, and also wrote fanfiction.

Not really by Vivi on 2012-05-23 15:06:00 UTC Reply

My knowledge of Touhou is very, very limited. So I don't think I'm the same Vivi you met.

Please leave your shoes and sanity at the door for the cleanliness of the community. On a completely unrelated topic, have a "Tongue of Many Tongues"*. It speaks most languages mostly fluently, so feel free to consult it if you have any translation issues. Also, what are your fandoms?

*Tongue does not speak Klingon or Fangirlish.

Thank you! by Vivi on 2012-05-23 15:21:00 UTC Reply

Can I bring my slippers then? They are clean and fluffy.

Of course! by ThatOne on 2012-05-23 20:06:00 UTC Reply

Socks are also approved.

Welcome! by Querten on 2012-05-23 03:31:00 UTC Reply

Here's a self-solving puzzle box, as a welcoming gift! What kinds of books and anime do you read/watch?

Thanks! by Vivi on 2012-05-23 15:23:00 UTC Reply

Whee! A puzzle box!

I can read/watch anything as long as it keeps me entertained. And has enough logic for me to suspend my disbelief willingly.

The only exception to that is sports manga. I always find them hilarious, no matter how exaggerated they are.

Hello by Phobos on 2012-05-23 02:59:00 UTC Reply

I already met you in the IRC, but that's okay. Have this bag of polyhedral random number generators.

I wish I could have sleeping as a hobby. Work and theatre leave little time for such indulgences.

-Phobos

Hi by Vivi on 2012-05-23 15:27:00 UTC Reply

Thanks for the bag!

I am generally sleep deprived, so, usually, if I have enough free time, I sleep.

I don't have much talent for acting, but I love the theater.
