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!

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. -

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. -

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!

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.

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. -

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.

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

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

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) -

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. -

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.

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. -

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

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. -

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.
