So, I think this works... typing and all.
"Hi, I'm Gryphongirl, Neshomeh dragged me into this, so it's all her fault."
I believe this is what I'm supposed to say, yesno?
Much love to all PPCers

The warning is because when I first showed up, I got stuck in a giant glass jar with two other newbies to study our breeding habits... at least, I did until jabbuk d'eldrin blew up said jar with C4.

This. Forgot that not everyone has seen TV Tropes. If you're into that kind of thing, it can turn into Eldritch Abominations, which means cute cuddly stuffed Cthulhu, among other things. -

There's also been a chibi Lu Bu, complete with his halberd Sky Piercer and his prized horse, Red Hare. That's actually quite scary to certain people, namely every ordinary soldier in the Three Kingdoms era up until his death by strangulation and post-mortem beheading. -

I don't care what July says. I found you, I brought you
homea'Board, and I'm keeping you. {; p
My Tolkien Companion, which my wonderful fiance found for me, defines lembas as follows:
The Sindarin name for a kind of travellers' food or "way-bread," baked by the Elves of Lothlorien. It resembled cram (the waybread of the Men of Dale) in purpose but not in effect, being quite delicious and greatly sustaining, the more so if it was not mingled with other foods. It consisted of light-golden meal-cakes which kept fresh for many days if left in their mallorn-leaf wrappings. (J.E.A. Tyler, 260)
I realize that this probably raises more questions, but I'm okay with this. ^_^

I think I suggested something to the effect of that, not to quote me directly. If I had wanted that, I wouldn't have left that comma splice in there. {; p

A comma splice is the act of using a comma to string together clauses which really ought to be separated by a period. In this case, what I should have written was "Hi, I'm Gryphongirl. Neshomeh dragged me into this, so it's all her fault."
Note the period in the middle of the line, creating two sentences where there once was one comma splice.
Feah not, young grasshoppah. You will learn. {= )
