Good morning  :-D

I really hadn't intended to sign up. I fought the urge. No more forums I said. I appear to have very little willpower.

I stumbled across you guys while browsing around for a computer geeky place with at least a smattering of members that could throw a sentence together or, at the very least, locate the "o" key. Not only is this glorious place lacking in inappropriate usage of "0" but there is someone in an existential quandary! I'm afraid that was the clincher so I filled in all the little fields on the rego page and ticked "I Agree" and here I am.

I should probably give you a quick run down on me. I'm a girl. I'm Aussie. I'm a little bit geek. I'm not going to ask you how to fix my computer. I might occasionally rabbit on about dull things or fly off on a random tangent. I like fish, both for keeping and eating. My favourite colour is purple.

So yes, that is me.

I don't welcome new people because they generally don't stick around long.  For you, however, I'll make an exception.

Welcome.

That's quite all right, just as long as you don't turtle on about sharp things or swim off on a random cosine.

Anyway welcome, and enjoy your stay.

Send Tim Tams.

I'm sorry, but the number you have dialed is imaginary. Please rotate the phone by 90 degrees and try again.

Tsk tsk, already with the Tim Tams. Give me a while to settle in before we move up to the exotic cookies stage of the relationship. ;)

Pictures? Of me? Is this for proof of girl? Hmm, I'll see what I can do.

I'll endeavour to keep any turtling to a minimum.

Lovely to meet you all, and thank you for the warm welcome.

Greetings mate! Do Aussies call the girls "mate" or is that a term reserved for boys?

Enjoy your stay. I see you found your way in without going through the faucet. That's nice.
