Oh...

I'm back... by Elorie on 2010-06-14 19:18:00 UTC Reply

Whoo!! I'm back!
After four months of no connection to the net... *weeps*
Finally!
Most have probably forgotten me... I turned up beginning of January, and lost all connection midst of February. *ahem*
Reintroduction:
Big fan of the PPC in general, the Original Series, DOGA and DTE in particular.
I originate from Cologne, Germany, am a female univerity student, 18 year sold and love LotR; thus I came across fanfiction, found the German translation of OFUM, then read the English original, stumbled across a mention of the PPC and was immediately hooked.
Haven't had time yet to catch up on everything that happened, but I am so glad to finally be back!
*hugs everyone in reach*

I think I'll throw a party to celebrate my reconnection to the awesomeness that is the PPC!

Nice to see you back! I was wondering where you went a while ago... :D

Hi, welcome back! by Wide Eyed Idealist on 2010-06-15 20:08:00 UTC Reply

*grimace* I feel your pain with fluky computers. I'm lucky enough not to have had any issues that last THAT long, though... at least not ones that prevent me from doing anything.

Thanks. (nm) by Elorie on 2010-06-15 20:21:00 UTC Reply

That how computers work... by Sergio Turbo on 2010-06-15 09:53:00 UTC Reply

Was a malfunctioning PC the matter with no connection?
I know something about almost-dead computers... mine is one.

And it got worse when I joined the PPC. PPC has a bad effect on tecnology. *stares at his computer in case it blows up*

Re: That how computers work... by Elorie on 2010-06-15 17:33:00 UTC Reply

Don't know. It just wouldn't work... My computer itself was fine, but the internet connection, no matter what way, LAN or wireless, refused to work. I had to do a complete reconfiguration, several times, to make it work along with changing my provider, to make it work at home. Still refuses to work in other networks or public access points.

Here, have a pet cat. You may name her whatever you wish.

Oh... by Elorie on 2010-06-15 17:30:00 UTC Reply

Nobody has ever given me a pet cat before... I do own a cheetah (thanks to wikimaster) and a bengal tiger (forgotten from whom), but a pet cat...
THANKS!!
So nice... *wipes a tear*
And I name the cat... I know! Berúthiel, like the Queen of Gondor, wive of Falastur, who owned nine black and one white cat and was famous for them. Sounds fitting?

Indeed, a cat must have a proper name. by Silikat on 2010-06-15 21:15:00 UTC Reply

And that one definately seems fitting. *pets Berúthiel*

Salutations! by PoorCynic on 2010-06-15 04:24:00 UTC Reply

Please enjoy this ten-gallon hat as a welcoming back gift.

Warning: hat may not actually hold ten gallons of liquid.

Thanks... ? by Elorie on 2010-06-15 06:48:00 UTC Reply

Ten-gallon hat? How much is that in litres? Around thirty?

O.O

Anyway... Thanks, and I will see if I have a shelf big enough for it. Or maybe I can use it to begin breeding ostrichs? It should have about the right size to capture one. Now all I need is a pole, and then I can go hunting...

Feed it only Generic Meat.

Thanks. by Elorie on 2010-06-15 06:43:00 UTC Reply

Where can I get generic meat?

Possibly the PPC General Store. by WikiMaster on 2010-06-15 23:45:00 UTC Reply

Or you can just grind up some beef.

Oh. alright. :) (nm) by Elorie on 2010-06-16 06:20:00 UTC Reply

Hello! by Pretzel on 2010-06-14 23:07:00 UTC Reply

I don't believe we've met. I'm Pretzel, and it's nice to meet you. Welcome back! I know how it is with idiotic computers and stuff- my power cord for my laptop managed to crap out on me for a good two months, so I was without my computer during the last bit of my previous quarter in college. Not fun.

As for the party, my agents shall definitely be joining in, now that I've got Permission and stuff. They are Ian Nahinu and Lee Keaton. Feel free to do with them as you wish; Lee's a bit of a lightweight when it comes to alcohol, and anything with mint in it gets her even more tipsy/snuggle-prone (which is weird, 'cause she's normally not all that touchy-feely), as she's a feline-based shapeshifter and therefore affected by anything in the mint family, like catnip. (For further info, look either on the Wiki or here).

My apologies for rambling; I do that quite a bit. Anyways, welcome back, and I can't wait to talk and interact with you further.

Nice to meet you.

Welcome back! by doctorlit on 2010-06-14 21:53:00 UTC Reply

Congratulations on your triumphant return to the internet!

Have a Roto-Router! It's a thin metal wire you can feed through the tubes when the internets get clogged.

Roto-router!"
Have some no-mai! by Aeidhryn on 2010-06-14 21:35:00 UTC Reply

Wait, did I spell that right? Anyways, it's really delicious, Chinese, and involves loads of sticky rice, Chinese sausagey-stuff, mushrooms, and a bunch of yummmies thrown together.

Gosh, I hate it when my Internet has problems... but it's never been for FOUR MONTHS. Wow.

Welcome back! by Miah on 2010-06-14 21:03:00 UTC Reply

Hello! Have a seventeen foot long, multicolored, wool, knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.

Please use them IRresponsibly!

I must have just missed you from before as I joined about mid-February. Good to hear that your connection is better now.

Thanks. by Elorie on 2010-06-14 21:09:00 UTC Reply

A scarf... Seventeen feet? How long did you knit that thing?
Thank you! I'll try it in winter!

No problem by Miah on 2010-06-14 23:09:00 UTC Reply

Agent!Miah knits them with strange amounts of speed.

... by Elorie on 2010-06-16 06:21:00 UTC Reply

Ah, I see. Thanks again for that scarf. May I, once I have my own agents, pass this on?

Welcome back. Here's a tall ship. by Khajidu on 2010-06-14 19:42:00 UTC Reply

My Agents are coming to the party. Expect hilarity to ensue.

Re: Welcome back. Here's a tall ship. by Elorie on 2010-06-14 20:03:00 UTC Reply

Thanks for the ship. The second you gave me!

And about the party: Your agents are most welcome. I am not quite sure if, and if so, when I will write an account of the party, but your agents will certainly be mentioned if that happens.
I will host the party in an as of yet unknown location (I am open for any suggenstions), and I will take care of all drinks, mainly beer and soda, but again, open to suggestions. The only thing I won't offer is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, as laws of physics state it cannot be mixed on Earth. If someone wants, I will also offer BBQ.

As the ships are sentient... by Khajidu on 2010-06-15 22:19:00 UTC Reply

... they'll keep each other company.

You can mention my Agents if needed, of course. They'll bring their own cocktail, which they named 'ZPM'. Don't ask why, but Krisprolls is said to abuse it, and that's what makes him so energetic. Truth is, he's naturally so. (Whatever says it's because he naturally produces the thing in his blood)

(ZPMs are huge energy sources in Stargate Atlantis)

Re: As the ships are sentient... by Elorie on 2010-06-16 06:22:00 UTC Reply

Okay. The party'll take some time, as I don't have permission yet, but I'll find some time.

You may want to know... by Khajidu on 2010-06-17 16:42:00 UTC Reply

that Krisprolls turns 73 today. One more thing to party about.
