Mmmm... Smells like coffee. I am not allowed coffee. Not any more. Not after ... Well, no reason to bother you with that old yarn.
A warm welcome to you!
As you can probably guess, I'm a newcomer around here. So I guess I'll get the introductory stuff out of the way.
So, things to know about me? Well... I'm an avid TVTropes reader, I'm a major gamer (RPGs, FPSes, and Minecraft are my main focuses), I write Sci-fi and Fantasy (usually Dungeon Punk) in my spare time, and I'm a die-hard member of the Brony community.
Oh, and as my username might suggest, I drink far too much caffeine to be considered healthy. I'm trying to kick the habit, though.
Have a case of Bleepka, and your two cents.
Welcome to the Board! Here, have some chocolate, and enjoy your stay!
Have some awesome-laced cookies and a giant mug of coffee.
Here, have an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and hey, it whisks eggs! It's also particularly useful for getting rid of those pesky author wraiths and spambots. Use it for good and not evil.
Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy your stay.
Well met, newbie! Please enjoy this giant novelty foam finger as a welcoming gift.
Hey, this is just what I was looking for! Now I don't have to play hardcore mode on Dead Space 2.
We love new people! Come on in, help yourself to the coffee!
Seriously, here, have some Thomas Ades for the road:

Thomas Ades? You, sir, have excellent taste in music.
Holy sight of Jesus Christ on a pikestaff! Someone else who's into this kind of music! =DDDDDDDDDDDD
*does a dance*
In all seriousness, though, I'm not the biggest Ades fan, but I do listen to a LOT of 20th Century and new music, so... Crazy times are had for all.
So you know your way around that. Who are your favorite composers?
Well, a lot of my favorites are primarily video game composers, but hey, it's a viable source.
So... Well, we have the big film trio; Hans Zimmer, John Williams, and Danny Elfman. Then you get into the game composers like Jeremy Soule, Nobuo Uematsu, and Frank Klepacki.
Welcome, new friend! Have a random encounter!
*The Overcaffeinated One is attacked by Wolves and Slimes*
Ah! Wolves and Slimes! My one weakness!
Hi, have some fudge!
Oh wow, talk about excellent timing. I just got back home from a local confectionery that specializes in fudge.
Does the user name +1 frog of Departure ring any bells? Also, welcome! Have a cookie.
I'm not good with usernames, but it does sound vaguely familiar...
What is your first name?
It's Laurence.
You mentioned +1 Frog of Departure... would that be a Steam name?
Well, I don't /THINK/ we've met, but it's possible; I've been blind-drafted into a few TF2 matches by some people in a couple different MLP groups before.
I've been trying to get him to introduce himself on the board. I was hoping you were him. Awell.
Welcome to the mad house! (The house scared off three psychiatrists this week.) As I welcoming gift please take this bag containing things with points. They include, but are not limited to: glass shards, stilettos, and a combination coffee press/travel mug.
Heh... I actually have one of those combo press-mugs. It stands alongside my laptop and my copy of Dante's Inferno (the book, not the game) that goes with me pretty much everywhere.
Mmmm... Smells like coffee. I am not allowed coffee. Not any more. Not after ... Well, no reason to bother you with that old yarn.
A warm welcome to you!
Welcome! The more, the merrier! Have an Official Dropping-Anvil (it magically appears right above whatever you want it to drop on)!
