Just poking my head in by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-12 21:17:00 UTC Reply

Just poking my head in to say hello there. *waves* I used to hang around the Board a lot, but then Real Life happened and I suppose I just got out of the habit.

So, for all of you wondering, "Who is that ... being?", the answer is: "An old lurker girl, who is back to lurk some more".

Hopefully, chocolate, fun, and assassinations will also be included.

I'm not actually sure if I was around when you were, but anyway ... have a hairy regex. Be sure to give it regular haircuts.

Oh my! by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-15 19:11:00 UTC Reply

Does it need food? Is it a carnivore or herbivore?

Maybe there should be a wiki page for it. (nm) by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-15 19:11:00 UTC Reply

Nope, regexes eat programmers' sanity. (nm) by Tomash on 2012-01-15 19:22:00 UTC Reply

Well, it came at the right time... I've just begun learning javascript.

Here, have some chocolate, won't you?

Certainly. No guess. (nm) by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-14 15:13:00 UTC Reply

Here, take this duck made out of aluminium foil. It moos from time to time, don't worry about that.

Have a welcome-back plover! (nm) by Tawaki on 2012-01-13 15:58:00 UTC Reply

Another plover! Oh my! (nm) by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-13 22:43:00 UTC Reply

Well, happy lurking then. by Ellipsis Flood on 2012-01-13 08:02:00 UTC Reply

Here, have an awesome-laced cookie and a LURK MOAR shirt.

I certainly am LURKING MOAR. Thanks. (nm) by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-13 22:43:00 UTC Reply

Bonsoir! by dramaticsoprano on 2012-01-13 03:32:00 UTC Reply

Have some Swiss chocolate. And here's a bottle of Bleepka. You're gonna need it sooner or later.

*accepts both* And don't I know it. (nm) by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-13 03:43:00 UTC Reply

Ahoy there! by SeaTurtle on 2012-01-13 02:35:00 UTC Reply

Welcome to the Board! Have some of my patented hydrophobic water! Fun to watch but not to eat.

Nice...hydrophobic water, yup, it's a keeper. (nm) by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-13 03:43:00 UTC Reply

Hello! by Aile Harper on 2012-01-13 02:26:00 UTC Reply

Have a box of M&Ms!

Thanks! :D (nm) by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-13 03:42:00 UTC Reply

Nice ta seeya! by Fractal Dawn on 2012-01-12 22:45:00 UTC Reply

Hah, I know that feeling so well. I'm exactly the same story.

(Except, well, trying to do a little more talking and a little less lurking.)

As you are just returning, here, have some of my Bleepka supply.

Oh, goody. by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-13 00:16:00 UTC Reply

What with all the badfic plugging around here, I may need it.

Well, I can offer chocolate, at least by The Warrior of Many Faces on 2012-01-12 22:11:00 UTC Reply

Have some Dove chocolate as a "Welcome Back" present!
Also, just curious, what fandoms are you interested in? I'm wondering if the trend of Pokemon and Doctor Who fans has ended or if it's still going on. XD

My fandoms are: by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-13 00:15:00 UTC Reply

*deep breath*

Major:

Books: Alexandre Dumas, Narnia, the Penderwicks, Jane Eyre, Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Jane Austen, the Hunger Games, Tolkien (though I'm not NEARLY nutty enough to even come near the general fan standard), and oh so many, many, many more though goodness knows I haven't really read that much lately

Movies: Bourne trilogy, Pride & Prejudice, NOT the 3 musketeers, ugh

TV: the Mentalist, NCIS

Minor: they're in the hundreds.

Ah, the Hunger Gmes by The Warrior of Many Faces on 2012-01-13 01:22:00 UTC Reply

A marvelous blend of good writing and disturbing concepts. Well, at least for the first two books. The third wasn't quite so good.
Oh, and you're welcome. :D

Indeed. by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-13 01:45:00 UTC Reply

The second felt like a giant rush of too many shockers and status-quo changers all at once. And then a giant tragedy, and no redemption, really. Kids.

Well, maybe 2 wasn't so well plotted by The Warrior of Many Faces on 2012-01-13 22:53:00 UTC Reply

But it had a very creative death trap by Hunger Games, you must admit. The most dangerous clock in existence.

Well... by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-13 23:45:00 UTC Reply

There's a point where I just step back from the reviewing side and enjoy myself thoroughly. I can do that with some books; Catching Fire was one of them.

Yeah by The Warrior of Many Faces on 2012-01-14 19:47:00 UTC Reply

Sometimes it is easier to just stop analyzing a book and just take it on its own terms. The problem comes when I end up STUCK in analyze mode, which does happen to me now and again.

Yup. by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-14 23:40:00 UTC Reply

Sometimes that's the problem with ff.net. You automatically have this "review" function built into your system, and to REALLY enjoy something, it just kind of has to be turned off.

I find that my taste in everything- music, books, movies, fan fiction- is neither good nor bad, because I truly like a lot of good, classy stuff and I truly like a lot of dumb, thoughtless, 'vulgar" stuff.

But the point is to enjoy yourself. As long as I'm guiltlessly enjoying myself and it's not full of gratuitous ick, I just do as I like.

And thanks for the chocolate! :D (nm) by Aeidhryn on 2012-01-13 00:15:00 UTC Reply
