The ALL-NEW 'Newbies reveal thyselves' thread!

We're The Great Old Ones Now

09:31 / 30.05.03

We know you're out there, in the darkness, watching, always watching. With your eyes! But it's open mike night here on the underground, and this is a thread just for you to say 'Hi' and realise that we're the fluffiest people in fluffy land and waiting to welcome you into our collective with big hugs.

(Step outside this thread and you're dead).

So come on then. Who's going to go first?

My Sis lurks under the name 'Wyndham's Girl'.

Obsessed by Twin Peaks, she is.

Doubt she'll ever speak, though.

Greetings from Micronesia! Welcome.

Come play Barbelith Risk, which is somewhere between Mornington Crescent, Risk, and a lot of drunken Irish fishermen claiming to have caught a whale on a 10lb line.

sh*t wrong forum, argh...

well i'm a grant morrison fan, loved doom patrols, invisibles and beginning to like the filth, even though it's too short.
i am a lazy conceited cynically stoically romantically self-serving bedroom anarchist, who used to be a bookshop manager.
pleased to meet ya.

19:13 / 30.05.03

See that wasn't too bad was it? Who's next?

Foust is SO authentic

20:56 / 30.05.03

Waaaait, I thought Barbelith shot pretentious frowns the way of all welcome threads?

We don't like it when each person starts a welcome thread. Its fine in a nice big one like this.

No, it isn't. We hate you all.

Except the cute ones.

21:49 / 30.05.03

Huggle the newbies!!!

My Mom Thinks I'm Cool

00:51 / 31.05.03

I can't have been around long enough to be an "oldie", but I've already done some posts and a thread that got a few responses, so do I still need to introduce myself?

can I still get a hug at least? I'm not that cute.

I only bite people that say it's okay.

00:57 / 31.05.03

Well if you took the time to post that you can take the time to intoduce yourself Pants Brigade!
And welcome to the huggle factory!

01:27 / 31.05.03

Why do the newbies never reveal themselves? It seems distinctly unfair that there's a whole thread dedicated to them and they won't deign to post in it. I think that we should reclaim this space and stop asking the freak-children to segregate themselves from everyone else by going through the dastardley act of an introduction. God Flowers, you're such a fascist. Oldies, clonesuits, take the space back and introduce yourselves!

01:31 / 31.05.03

They're not going to introduce themselves. Word has got round about the ass-candles.

01:34 / 31.05.03

I am staring at you with a vacant expression in my eyes, slightly clouded by disgust. I just thought you should know.

01:36 / 31.05.03

Are you ma? The only reason I come here is for the high quality of the local ass-candling. you dont get ass-candling like this on the jews-4-jesus board. No siree!

01:38 / 31.05.03

Well what could I expect from a boy who is really a keg?

01:40 / 31.05.03

maybe Im a keg who's really a boy..or a gek who's a dislexic yob!

01:44 / 31.05.03

Maybe you're a yak with a passion for heights?

01:47 / 31.05.03

no..right now im sure i'm just confused. What????

01:51 / 31.05.03

Well if you don't understand I'm not explaining it to you.

01:56 / 31.05.03

..and so Kegboy once again lives a life free of a dangerous thing.

Strangely I am also an ex bookshop manager who fell in with this bad crowd due to a love of Morrison. I lurk here and there. I post stupid messages about how stupid I was to go to the SFX event. I occasionally become a smartarse about fictionsuits.
The name? No idea. Came to me when drunk after a Doom Patrol recap session. I'm sure it'll become clear in a later chapter.

Elegant Mess

13:08 / 31.05.03

I ended up here about seven or eight months ago as a direct result of The Invisibles, and decided to stay. I check the boards regularly, but have posted pretty much nothing at all, and certainly nothing of any real insight or interest.

I just turned 23, and after a lifetime of smug, more-rational-than-thou skepticism have decided to plunge headlong into magickal thought and action, with so far mixed results (a very odd borderline-gnosis experience while dancing to LCD Soundsystem in Optimo being a recent highlight).

I feel like Barbelith has been a very useful resource for finding out about all sorts of interesting modes of thought, and often provides an excellent starting point for further research. Certainly, my recent experiments with salvia divinorum were spurred by various posters' enthusiasm for it.

Oh, and I'm not actually the real Mr. Christ.

Heh. That's what you think...

Welcome aboard.

14:43 / 31.05.03

Oh, by the way... newbies... the ass-candling thing is NOT a joke.

(rubs hands in glee)

16:18 / 31.05.03

But it's nowhere near as bad as the ass-ferreting.

16:43 / 31.05.03

There I was, harmlessly lurking in the magick forum, when I pressed the wrong button (or something) and ended up on this thread. I guess it must be fate.

For anyone who's interested, fidrich is a Gaelic word which means "consider, hear, percieve; inquire into minutely". It was my word-of-the-day when I registered, god knows why (assuming that god speaks Gaelic).

17:12 / 31.05.03

and oddly enough, its an Etruscan word that means "pass me my ass candle"

Welcome aboard!
