well i came across this site through a random google search. my old forums are riddled with drama and cliques and really it's just gotten a bit out of hand. i'm so tired of females there feeling the need to be attention whore and for guys to white knight them because "OMG BOOBS ON TEH INTERNETS". it used to be a great place for all of our geeky conversations and such but now it's just not anymore.

about me....well i live in austin texas (coolest city in the ENTIRE state) and dabble in a bit of everything that i can. from reading comics to playing video games with friends and working on our computers to urban exploration, roller derby, welding, making glass beads, knitting and haggling the rare book dealer down the street. as you can probably tell by now....i generally avoid capital letters. i'm not lazy and DO, in fact, know where my shift key is but it's just my way. also, i'm a terrible speller and have even worse punctuation....just a warning lol.

feel free to ask me anything you may be curious about as well ^_^

i'm a pretty friendly person just looking for fellow geeky people to have drama free geeky conversations.

I've been terrorizing a 7-11 in Austin for several months now, it's been great.

HaHa ... Good for you. You certainly shouldn't run into any of that sort of thing here.
 
That MINOR little Tourettes thing YOU have going on with the shift key IS actually kind of cute (oops, now cut that out), but your spelling and punctuation really ain't HALF bad.

...I kid, of course.

Enjoy your stay.

2nd edit: Ok, I guess I was right the first time ..... sorry for the confusion kitten Ivan.

I am not bald, obese, naked, scratching anything, in possession of a double chin, or eating cheetos. Other than that, yes.

also, i failed to mention this earlier (forehead+hand=what i'm doing right now), but since i'm new here i don't know everyone's style or the community's ways as a whole. if you have a genuine issue with my posting or suggestions feel free to PM me. i'm always willing to listen and learn from other people that have been around and know the ropes and such.

Well, you completely blew off several requests to format your posts using conventional capitalization and punctuation; why should I expect you to abide by any other conventions?

By the way, I hope we don't drive her away with our cranky jibes. She appears to have a brain and a sense of humor.
