Title: Random Discussion
Marzipan - January 22, 2008 08:56 PM (GMT)
Just curious.... how come there's no thread for just spammy "hey I'm bored someone come talk to me"? Well, maybe I can start the trend.
I'm bored and waiting for the next post. Oh, and I'm Marzipan btw. I'm just your average nerdy girl from NC. I love anime, gaming, writing, and cooking. Hopefully I will have time to post here regularly. Nice to "meet" you all. :3

Hey, I'm Stephen. I'm from North Carolina too, I'm up at college in the mountains near Asheville. I'm trying to post regularly myself, but between classes, a girlfriend, and life, it gets harder and harder to do.
Anyways, I dunno why there's not just a random talk to me board. I guess most things hit up for a 'my car was wrecked' or 'there's a great big storm' or something of that nature.
labellerose - January 23, 2008 07:48 PM (GMT)
LOL, it is an unfortunate fact of life that Weyr chat usually consists of "so my sister got hit by a car" (yes, she really did, but the idiot was jaywalking so its her own damn fault). The various little tragedies that comprise our lives...
I'm Rose. I'm weird, but aren't we all?
So is the Marzipan reference to the food, or to the HomeStarRunner Marzipan? Or something else?
*chin in hands, waits for story*

Sorry, you'll not likely see a post like that from me - I have too much going on to ever be bored. Still, it's a nice way to introduce yourself!
I'm curious - how'd you come across Kharasi? Or is that a deep, dark secret that only you and Nako know the answer to, never to be shared with us chickens?
I've been to North Carolina a few times, all when I was in college in eastern Tennessee. Went over into the mountains to go mountain biking there sometimes. Tsali Trail. :) Oh, and I'll be in Charlotte for an hour or so on Friday morning, waiting for a connecting flight to take me to Nassau. Come down to the airport, you and Stephen; we can all hang out. :)
Nako - January 23, 2008 09:15 PM (GMT)
Actually, I'm rather in the dark where she came from too. XD
So, where did you come from and how did you find us, Marzipan?
Marzipan - January 23, 2008 10:21 PM (GMT)
Look, I'm all popular! Ha. =) Just kidding. But as to where I found you all, that remains to be a secret until later. When you get to know me better, perhaps I'll spill. <3
Rose - as far as my name goes, it was a nickname given to me by my British buddy I met on another forum. Since my name is Marci, it just kind of stuck. ^_^ He used to call me Marcikins.
Stephen - Good luck juggling all of that. Especially with the girlfriend... I know how hard that can be.
Fury - Nassau? That's funny because I really want to cruise there on my honeymoon.
Contrition - January 24, 2008 11:01 PM (GMT)
And I'm Icy/Contrition/if you have a different nickname for me. D:
Welcome Marzipan! Never been to your area of the country. I'm a southwesterner and will always be, at heart.
Marzipan - January 25, 2008 01:06 AM (GMT)
I like Icy. :3 So you're like, Nevada area? Never been there either. Mostly I am around the eastern coast, occasionally I slip into Ohio. ^_^
Oh speaking of and wondering... is anyone here into anime?
Contrition - January 25, 2008 05:26 AM (GMT)
I'm a fan of anime and maga :)
Also an avid reader, too :)
AlannaLioness - January 25, 2008 12:46 PM (GMT)
Hi there,
I'm Missa, or Bluey if you like.. Or .. Anything works. Nice to meet you!
As everyone will tell you, my computer needs a serious attitude adjustment, and I drop off for periods of time. ><
I'm in Australia... Are all you guys in the same continent? Or time-zone? I seem to get on when Kharasi's deserted.
Oh well, I just wanted to drop in my two cents and say hi ^^.

Wolfie - January 25, 2008 03:32 PM (GMT)
*waves* :) Florida here! I'm in and out as my schedule demands, more out than in lately, but I'll be posting soon. :P
Nice to have you here Marzipan! :)
Marzipan - January 25, 2008 05:43 PM (GMT)
Alanna - Australia sounds so awesome. Do you like in the middle or near a beach? Do you see any kangaroos?? XD
Thanks Wolfie. It's nice to be welcomed so kindly. You all are awesome!
Rose - Which part of Ohio? Cincinnati by chance?
labellerose - January 25, 2008 06:58 PM (GMT)
Mainly Columbus, the capitol, but I've got family all over. Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Youngstown. So mostly central and northern. I've been to Cinci a handful of times. Have you traveled much around here?
Marzipan - January 25, 2008 10:40 PM (GMT)
I've been to Cincinnati twice a year every year since I was in the womb. :) It's been a little slower now because I tend to get sick when I travel now. Plus, it's a boring eight hour drive. My Mom's side of the family lives there and we used to go every Easter and Thanksgiving.
AlannaLioness - January 26, 2008 04:53 AM (GMT)
I live in WA a couple of hours from the coast. So not in the middle but not at the coast.
It's awesome, and not much. If you go to the zoo sure, but unless you live in the outback... XD Contrary to popular belief we don't have kangaroos in our backyards.
Bee - January 26, 2008 03:32 PM (GMT)
-Scampers- I'm late!
Heya, I'm Bee (a.k.a She-who-disappears-often). |3 It's nice to have a new face around Kharasi and I hope to roleplay with you soon. Don't be shy! (Of course, you don't seem like you have a problem with speaking up, Marzipan).
I'm tempted to call you Marzi for short, but only if you're alright with it.
Marzipan - January 26, 2008 03:51 PM (GMT)
Alanna - Aw. :( I was hoping you would have some kangaroos in your backyard. Well, we all know how stereotypes go. ^_^
Bee - Hey! You can totally call me Marzi. It's only short one letter from my real name anyway. :3 I'd love to RP with ya. And anyone else to, for that matter.
My fiance and I just adopted a new kitten. She's black and white (we named her Athena) and so far she's into all of our other cat's (Gabriel) toys. They're both afraid of each other but she's the one doing all the growling. ^_^ Unfortunately, she peed on my bed this morning!! I had a give her a spanking and show her where the litter box was. She knew though because she was in it the night before. Such a handful. =)
Oh and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOLFIE!!!!
Wolfie - January 27, 2008 02:28 AM (GMT)
Thanks Marzi!
Aww, kittens are cute! I've always been more of a dog person, but I think that's mainly because the only cats I've ever been exposed to are my grandparents' cats. And they always seem to hate me for some reason. I can't count the number of times those damn things have scratched me for no reason. @_@ I hope yours are nicer lol :P
Marzipan - January 27, 2008 02:33 AM (GMT)
Athena is all into her "love me for the love of God" phase and Gabriel is just a coward when it comes to new people. But both are sweet and I know they wouldn't be mean to any humans. Gabriel only scratches when he's playing. B)
Oh -- this is Gabriel:
Wolfie - January 27, 2008 02:57 AM (GMT)
Haha, I love the coy come hither wink he's got going on! He's cute :D
Marzipan - January 27, 2008 02:36 PM (GMT)
Thanks. Right now, I'm extremely mad at Athena because this time she peed on my papasan chair, and I can't seem to get the piss smell out. >:( How do you stop a cat from peeing everywhere???
Fallen_Crusader - January 27, 2008 04:47 PM (GMT)
*tries to think of ways to keep cats from peeing everywhere*
Sorry, the only solutions I have are terminal ones.
But maybe Gabriel is guarding the litter box?
Marzipan - January 27, 2008 05:12 PM (GMT)
Yeah I kind of thought that she needed a separate one but my friend told me I didn't. I've got one from her now, so she'd better use it or her butt is getting the boot. :P
Marzipan - January 31, 2008 12:37 AM (GMT)
Is it normal to wait this long? =( I am itching to RP.
Wolfie - January 31, 2008 03:01 AM (GMT)
Whatcha waiting on? Your character got accepted! Set up a post and someone will reply. :D
Nako - January 31, 2008 03:40 AM (GMT)
Fury hasn't posted back yet is all. If you want you can make another character so you won't have one always stuck in rp =) Sometimes certain players can't get on as often as others. If a person doesn't respond in a week or so though, feel free to close the rp and move on.
Marzipan - January 31, 2008 04:23 AM (GMT)
We all have busy lives so I totally understand. I've been getting more and more anxious to RP here since reintroducing myself to the series. I finished Dragonquest yesterday and I'm about halfway through the White Dragon. So now I've gotten myself all excited.
I'll give Fury a few more days. :3
Fury - January 31, 2008 06:18 PM (GMT)
Marzipan - okay, on the way out to the Atlantis, our taxi drove past the Nassau docks where the big cruise ships are. The ships are beautiful! Nassau itself was not - most of it looks like a third-world city, sadly. But the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island was lovely - warm turquoise seas, white sand, and lots of neat things like on-site snorkeling and a green sea turtle lagoon and nursery. I wouldn't mind a honeymoon cruise there at all!
Oh dear, it seems I'm holding up an RP. Posting from work right now, but only working a half day today, so I should be able to respond to whatever it is as soon as I get home. Toodles!
Marzipan - January 31, 2008 07:14 PM (GMT)
I can't wait to go on my cruise! I got about 1k back from my taxes, so I'm going!!! I can barely contain my excitement about it. <3 Thanks for telling me about it Fury and I can't wait to read your response. :3
Marzipan - February 10, 2008 03:23 PM (GMT)
Waiting for Nako. ^_^
I am enjoying reading the two threads "working on the waste piles" and "All alone?" You all are awesome writers.
Nako, any idea when there will be a clutch?
Nako - February 10, 2008 07:39 PM (GMT)
Sorry guys, I've been busy XD Oh, I have vague ideas don't you worry. First the Weyrlings will have to reach a certain age... probably around 4-5 months to give the queen enough downtime before breeding again. Once we reach that milestone and a few plot milestones then I'll consider having Iolath rise. So, it might be a little while but that will give you time to rp and get a feel for your character.
Marzipan - February 10, 2008 07:57 PM (GMT)
Contrition - February 11, 2008 02:42 AM (GMT)
...you mean people actually read threads that aren't theirs? *thought that she was the only one who did it*
All I have to say on that is that Fury is basically amazing writer D:
Marzipan - February 11, 2008 05:01 AM (GMT)
If my own thread was busier..... ^_^
I've read a ton of the old threads. I've been reading through the last Hatching thread whenever I get a chance. I enjoy reading everyone's individual styles and events that are happening.
Fallen_Crusader - February 12, 2008 12:48 AM (GMT)
I keep trying to find time to post again, but I've got teh sickness right now, and have trouble dragging myself out of bed for class.
Contrition - February 12, 2008 01:26 AM (GMT)
aw *pets consolingly* Take your time, and get better! That's the most important thing!
Marzipan - February 12, 2008 01:53 AM (GMT)
That's right. Health is the most important thing because if you're not healthy, then you're pretty much miserable. :blink:
Fallen_Crusader - February 18, 2008 10:41 PM (GMT)
Not trying to garner sympathy, cause my girlfriend would kick my ass for that, but I'm still in the ill department. I haven't slept in more than one hour bursts for a week now. My mind isn't really working, and now I'm being tested for mono and another major viral infection. There went $200 down the drain. And that was at the reduced price for paying up front. Otherwise it would have been $250. Not having insurance sucks. TO all you young'uns out there, make sure you get and hold onto some damn insurance.
Anyways, that's why I've lurked and not posted.
Marzipan - February 19, 2008 07:14 PM (GMT)
Aw. =/ I know how you feel! I hope you get better. :ph43r:
