After countless hours scouring the Internet, I have come to the conclusion that bleeprin is not, as I had suspected, a chemical that causes everything it touches to start making annoying sounds. Curse you, fake website designed by Aloyse von Roddenstein!
Hey. Newbie here. I personally think this is a cool concept, and thought I'd just introduce myself before making intermittent appearances.
I've never seen a Lord of the Rings movie. Never seen a Star Wars movie. Never read the Harry Potter books, though I've seen most of the movies. Never read the Hunger Games books. Read the first Twilight book and said "meh", then heard what people said about the rest of them and puked. My all-time favorite TV show is Phineas and Ferb, and I also like the Pixar movies, the Back to the Future trilogy, and everything ever written by Gordon Korman. I believe the Disney Channel hasn't made a good live-action show since Phil of the Future, though the more recent ones are at least watchable (except Jonas). I go by Qwizbo on FF.net, though I haven't written anything in a long time. Hope to change that. I enjoy reading fanfic, and hope that someday Tara Gilsebie will be more admired as a satirist than Jonathan Swift. I presently have no intention of writing PPC stories, but that of course is subject to change. And... that's about it. Happy lurking.
*cheers* I haven't read HP either.
I thought I was the only one.
Hi! Have some fudge!
Welcome, have some chocolate, won't you?
Nice range of interests. Personally, I can't stand this "Tweenie-pop" craze going around either, yet I have nothing against most of the actors/singers involved... though I despise Twilight.
Thanks goodness for Phineas and Ferb, though...
Hello, newbie! Have a crate of emergency bleeprin! There might even be a Discworld book in there!
Greetings, new friend! Have a cup of Disney magic!
What sorts of things Do you like? Because I can tell you I have only read two of the Harry Potter books, I have never read Twilight, and, well...
We just wanna know what you like.
Anyway, here, have some Messiaen for the road: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qp7Htsdo3M
That's sort of a hard question to answer. If anything, check out my FF.net account (Qwizbo) as though I haven't written anything in a loooong time, I've built up a fair list of favourites. That might help you figure out my tastes. Might. I'll be honest, I'm not sure.
And have some Max Modem for the road: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQBtIgLdXPc
I'll stick with you! 'Cos Phineas and Ferb are gonna do it all!
Have a Bleachinator. It makes bleeprin out of bleach and asprin. ^^

'Ere, have a conical hat and a tea biscuit!
The hat is made from tin foil (to keep out the conspiracy theorists) and duct tape (to make it indestructible*) and the tea biscuit has got cheese in.
*hat is not actually indestructible. Tray-Gnome is not responsible for any damage incurred while wearing said hat. Hat is waterproof, and potentially also knife-proof. Hat is most definitely not knoife-proof.
I was in the process of writing a witty comeback to that when the smoke detector went off. Now I can't remember what my witty comeback was.
We're not all wired to this website 24/7, we've all got lives to attend to.
That being said, welcome to the Board! Have some of my world-famous hydrophobic water! Ban on the product now lifted in 25 different universes!
I get the feeling you're holding back horrendous insults. If that's the case, fire away. I sort of expect them.
For one, defining yourself in majority of the things you do not like and have not read rather than what things you do like and are interested in makes it difficult to approach you. You actively distance yourself that way.
Some people can be reading it as you being proud of avoiding things that are common and popular interests. That can also make it difficult to say anything.
Beyond that, waiting half an hour and then saying you're expecting hostility also doesn't really impress a favorable first impression of yourself upon others. As SeaTurtle just now noted- since this is a long reply I'm writing- people are not paying attention to the board at all hours and minutes of the day.
Judging us as hostile before we've even said anything, with a hostile attitude on your own part, again makes it less likely that people will comment or be inclined to comment.
No one likes to pet the dog that's barking angrily, so to speak.
Anyways, hi.
... we can be a grumpy lot when people do things we don't expect. ;) Don't judge us too harshly.
And hi. Welcome a'Board!
(Not you, July)

Sorry. Two points:
First (and sorry if I get a bit overly serious - I'm not usually very serious about anything), most people define themselves by the things they like, and a lot of people define other people by their opinions of things they like. For the most part, I said that because I don't want to be pestered by people asking for my opinion on something I can't form an opinion on.
Second, I had no experience with this forum before today, and most forums I hang around on move quicker. I don't know about you guys, but for me, half an hour is a looooong time.
I realize my mistake now, and I know I'll probably make a lot more, similar mistakes, but thanks for the help.
(On a less gloomy, apologetic note, I strongly recommend Phineas and Ferb to EVERYONE.)
He's Perry, Perry the Platypus!!
You can call him Agent P!
