Using a term to specifically annoy someone is trolling. Welcome to the club.

This is my 2nd attempt to join a forum. Well the first one was a disaster. I hope here the people to be more polite.


That's okay, I'll hide inside a hole during your stay. Sad


I am a twenty something unemployed woman who only enjoys anime. Can you stay in a hole that much? Very Happy
No its too cruel.

Just treat my posts like incidental vocabulary lessons... it's what everybody else has to do anyway.

Laconism is beyond me for some reason.


Every time I view your posts on the fora, I open up Dictionary.com to record a new lesson. It has taught me much more than what public education offered. I thank you, Professor S.A., but I've still much more to absorb.


Would you believe that I've mellowed out considerably? I used to drop fell polysyllables more than Timothy Leary dropped LSD.

Favorite Sport (to play): Soccer, Ultimate Frisbee, Broom Hockey and Football. I can't stand to watch sports, but I do love playing them. Smile

I like indie rock, classic rock, old crooner tunes from the 60's previous, musical and movie soundtracks, classical, anime soundtracks, K-pop and some US pop, techno, picky about my dubstep remixes, and I would be remiss if I didn't say that I unabashedly love cheesy 80's songs.

Job: Currently looking for a full-time job, but in the meantime I get by with plenty of freelance writing.

Hobbies: Reading, piano, writing (stories and songs, flowery stuff and fun stuff), origami, drawing comics, cooking/baking, blogging, hanging out with my awesome friends and geeking out about anime, music and books.

Fun facts about Lizzie:
Sleeps with her plush Companion Cube every night.
Coaches Team Policy Debate in the very same club she competed in during her high school years.
Has a terrible habit of correcting others' grammar.
Knows how to do the choreography to "Jai Ho" from the movie Slumdog Millionaire.
Addicted to Korean dramas.

Favorite Quotes: "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”
- Bilbo Baggins

"This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted."
- C. S. Lewis
