Hello to all you 'lithers who read (extending to those who don't read) introductions. Like to say hello and tell you how much it pleases me to be counted as one of the fold now. Just been shown in by the very lovely Mr. Tom.

I used to be a lurker a few years back, but I fell off the wagon and now I'm returning like the prodigal son (the more modernised "ass-candles in place of fatted calf" one).

(I've been hanging around unable to get entry to the board for the past two months. That's how come I knew that clever, knowing, "insider" candle thing! eh? Eh?)

Can't wait to get in on the action and I thought I'd start the endevour with a good old statement of intent:

"I promise to offer unconditional love, irreverence when appropriate, and not to cry when the big kids smack me down"

How are you all?

Indeed.

Now, I think we'll see how you do with the black ribbed knobbler... < lights wick >

Woah! One at a time! Those knobblers don't go in easy! But to get on Barbelith, I'd take an ass candle any day of the week. Maybe I should start a ticket system or something.

(You know, this kind of reminds me of school ...Of course back then I wasn't volunteering and it wasn't exactly a sign of popularity, but still).

I'm great, thanks for asking. Hanging around the board without the ability to chip in has been driving me a bit mad recently, but now I'm here it's all gone nice again. Once more I'd like to thank Tom and Mr. Dupre (Who very nicely fielded an e-mail from me a little while back), I've already done so in mail but it never hurts to be overly, cloyingly thankful.

A brief history. I'm 22, Glaswegian, Gemini, enjoy talks by the fireplace and strolls in the moonlight (which in Glasgow is pronounced "rain"). I was a big Invisibles fan back in the day and ran a poorly updated website for it. Nowadays I still love it but I can thankfully hold a conversation without it informing every breath.

Oooft! Jesus! I never thought you'd work it right in to the wick, Lady. You've done this before.

Next?

I'm lazy and shan't ass-candle, since there's plenty of wax coming your way, but hiya and huggles and what not.

Welcome aboard. Huggles, welcome pint, complimentary booklet of coupons for local restaurants and the like are hereby presented (pint and booklet are to be considered virtual, with the possibility of manifestation into reality at some potential future time. At least, the pint might. The booklet's pants so we won't bother with that).

Lady: I thought the store was all out of ribbed knobblers! At least, that's what they told m...y friend. Yeah. My friend. Who went there yesterday. Ahem.

Stoatie, I'm not going anywhere near your nest with my lighter. You've got a pubic thatch you want aflame then you damn well bring your own matches.

Grey Area: Your friend should ask for 'Big Pete'. She's the man you're- sorry, your friend is after.

So, Meludreen, what do you do for kicks?

For kicks? Hang about on street corners taunting ruffians. Arf Arf!

Currently, I work in a cinema, although that was meant to be one of those brief stop-off point thingies while I write "My Screenplay". Said screenplay has been tailing on for months longer than it should for procrastination reasons. I'm turning into one of those people who, when asked how it's coming along, simply grunt and scowl.

It'll be finished soon.

Honest.

I'm coming out of a two year break from magic and I'm trying to shake off a case of brain atrophy to start things moving again, rejoining Barbelith being symptomatic of this. There's a lot of intelligent people here who don't have much time for ignorance. This is a good thing, people who know more than me make me try harder. There is also a lot of sillyness and playful immaturity.

These are a combination of personalities that I am fond of.

Overall, I'm pretty average. I can't remeber the last time I was in a bad mood. I always look for the good side of people before the bad, and I find it pretty difficult not to see both sides of any argument.
Some people say this makes me an overly happy fence sitting bastard. I say that's your opinion and I respect it, because you're great, and I love you, maybe you should consider where we're both coming from here....

Although frequently self-depricating, it has also be said that I love myself a bit too much. But when you're as handsome and talented as me, that's forgivable.

I know a little about you guys already, but how would you describe yourselves in a paragraph? (I took a little more, but it is MY thread, dammit!)
