RayHumbert Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Hi, I'm new to the forum. (Obviously as I'm posting in this section XD) I'm not new to neopets though. I've been around for 8 years now, wow, that is a long time. Back then, the only helpsite I remembered was tinohelp. Thank goodness for TDN as it had made everything so convenient. A little bit about myself, I'm sixteen, currently sitting for the Olevels. I have an interest in Literature, a particular favorite author of mine is Nabokov, which my forum name was stolen taken from. I also enjoy political debates and hope someday that my country will see some semblance of integrity. Oh right, I like fancy dinners, learning about history and long walks on the beach. I kid on the last one. ^_^ Edit: TMI? -headdesk- Quote
Wembly Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Hello hello and welcome! I really like your penguin avatar. Its really cute. It reminds me of the pumpkin my friend and I painted as a penguin this year for Halloween. And as far as the long walks on the beach goes, haha, does anyone really not like long walks on the beach? And side note, I have no idea what O levels are but I'm going to pretend that it stand for Ordinary Wizarding Levels and that your are actually a student at Hogwarts, which makes me very jealous.

RayHumbert Posted October 27, 2010 Author Posted October 27, 2010 Haha, thank for compliment on the avatar. The penguins on the pumpkin sounds really awesome! And hard to do =p (I lack any talent in creating art) And on a interesting note, the Ordinary Wizarding Level was based on the O levels, which is a exam you take at the end of four years of secondary school. It's a British thing or at least it used to be. They have the GCSE now while my country is still apparently stuck with Olevels. Quote
antiaircraft Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Welcome to TDN! :D I'm glad you're finding our site useful - and wow, eight years? That must mean you started on Neopets when you were eight. I'm the same age as you, and I don't think I could even use a computer when I was eight. :P It seems we do both have a similar level of talent when it comes to art though. xD Anyway, as a welcomer I'm obliged to gesture vehemently towards the forum rules and insist that you read and abide by them (sign in blood, etc. etc.). :yes: Hmm... as I understand it, the GCSEs are just the fancy modern name for the Olevels - or at least my teachers would use the terms IGCSEs and Olevels interchangeably when I was studying for them a couple of years back. Well, I hope you enjoy the forum! Quote
RayHumbert Posted October 28, 2010 Author Posted October 28, 2010 Wow, what age did you sit for the Olevels? Btw, I was looking at your about me page and I also love Pratchett & Colfer. Bad Omen was a hilarious read and of course, the discworld series are amazing. And as much as I like the entire Artemis Fowl series, I have to admit, the Atlantis Complex was quite a letdown. Have you read anything by Jasper Fforde or Douglas Adam? Quote
antiaircraft Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I haven't read any of Jasper Fforde's work, but I have been working on getting through the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (awesome series). :yes: Unfortunately I haven't gotten round to reading the Atlantis Complex though. And I took my IGCSE exams back in 2007, when I was thirteen. Quote
