And now for some things that are actually about me. I am a first year college student studying biology. Probably the most accurate label that describes me is nerdfighter (DFTBA guys). I love the internet, dogs, quite a few fandoms, reading, marching band, and chocolate, among other things. Oh, and I'm a girl. I look forward to getting to know you all!

Oh well thanks for letting us know your a girl. it helps those of us playing the drinking game to know

ANOTHER GIRL! :D That takes our grand total up to... it's either five of six. :lol:

I'm surprised we don't ALL have 'Samus is a Girl' n our tropes list...

It's six! You have your even number now, Scarab! :lol: And I was the ORIGINAL 'Samus.' For the most part. Though if anyone cares to add such tropes to ours, I wouldn't complain. I am more than a mistaken-for-a-male vixen! :D
The voices in my head tell me that we saved the world. However, they also told me that George Clooney's face is on the dollar bill, so... meh. The voices are more fun, anyway.

Yeah but see you're actually badass, which kind of makes you fit Samus is a girl, I'd just be Mistaken for Boy, at the best I think. ;)

Sorry, no more even number. We have seven now. ^_^

8 is a lucky number in Japan. Your argument is invalid.

Hello folks. I'm S_o_S. And I'm very aware that my name might send up a red flag in some of your minds since, well, it's an international distress call... But I assure you, I'm in no danger or anything like that. Just a troper who's been lurking for some time, and wants to try and get involved in these shenanigans. Being an Irishman, I'll be next to useless for the physical stuff, but I'll do my best to help out, if I can figure anything out. Just sort of wondering how to really get into this whole thing.

About me... Well, I'm 19 year old man, a second year university student and a geeky gentleman. Not really sure what else to say for now.

I look forward to protecting the wall with you all.
Not a distress call. Honest.

I can tolerate ABBA. However, I cannot tolerate Mamma Mia, weirdly enough. Despite my usual love of musical theatre.

Alternative accents to read my posts in:
- Irish - generally considered the most pleasing by Americans.
- Northern Irish - much more harsh, and one I personally cannot stand...
- Gentleman - Because why not and I seem to have been writing rather formally so far.

Of course, the professor is a viable choice anyway.

Although that said, most of my family dislikes ABBA, but we can all point to at least one of their songs and go "yeah, it's kinda like that"... I guess life is just like ABBA sometimes.

- I don't know how irish accent sounds like;
- The same thing;
- I... don't know how a gentleman should speak. Fancy words come to mind, but so does English accent.

Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan I suppose? I have no idea. I don't actively listen to them, but if they're on the radio, I'll tolerate them.

So then, any advice you could give to someone new?

I assume the silence is to do with people writing a story for Anansi. I'm a skilled writer, but I doubt I'm good enough to keep an abomination like that behind the wall.

Sleep on the other hand... Might be a problem...
