Hello everyone. I am Fasoula, hitherto known as Matthew72. As of the end of this month, I will have been involved in this community for approximately two years, if memory serves. But, save for a comfortably me-shaped hole worn into a lonely corner of the IRC, I have made very minimal contribution, or even interaction, with the community at large. Whether it be for fear of expressing my own opinions and thoughts (or more frighteningly, revealing a lack thereof and making a fool of myself) or simply shyness, I've been mostly content with sitting back and watching the opportunities to do awesome things with the awesome people of this community slip by.

I decided that this, quite simply, has to stop. So, I am going to subdue my inhibitions for a moment and introduce myself again, to both the people who know (of) me and those who don't yet. I will also subdue them for many moments afterward so I do not make the same mistake again.

Hello, I'm Fasoula! It's a pleasure to meet everyone! I am a casual-ish gamer who loves bullet hell, platformers, Pokemon and RPGs à la Kingdom Hearts or Mario and Luigi. I am also a freshman in community college, who recently gained immediate access to a library much larger than any library I've ever had immediate access to, which, along with the beautiful amounts of free time between classes, suddenly reawakened a love for reading. This love is only exceeded by my ineptitude in finding things I actually want to read and therefore I would appreciate hearing about more books to keep an eye out for. So, please feel free to suggest any of your favorites to me! If it's any help, some of my favorite books are Duma Key and Skulduggery Pleasant (though, I've only been able to get my hands on the first two installments). I am currently reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy".

Anyways, this post has gone on for long enough, I think. So, I'll just wrap it up with this. I hope that I can get to know you all better than I have in the past, good luck to those participating in NaNoWriMo, and good night to all (except to those of you to whom it is not night, then good morning/afternoon/evening to you)!

~Fasoula, who could not think of a better subject to put this under.
