lil_dynamo_61 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Howdy. I just registered here this morning, directed to TDN by a friend. Looks like a helpful site! I'm hoping to take advantage of the avatar lending program, of course, get me closer to the 200 mark. About me: I'm in a neoguild I love, for Neopians over 40, and I've been on Neopets for a few years. I try a little bit of everything: games, shop, avatars, stamps, etc. Not too many trophies, because I'm just not that competitive at the games (which also means there are some avvies I'll never get). About RW me: I live in Eastern Kentucky, USA, and work part-time as a proofreader and typist at a small community newspaper. I like crochet and cross-stitch, and sometimes trying new recipes. That's it for the intro. Hoping everyone has a great weekend! (Oh, by the way, what is 1337-speak??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Dan. Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Hello! I think you'd be TDN's oldest member, as most of us are pre-25 or so. 1337 speak is basically replacing letters with numbers, and some really stupid abbreviations people have come up with, such as 'lyk' 'lol' and general text/SMS messaging language.

lil_dynamo_61 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 I don't mind being the oldest one here, 'long as y'all don't mind it. To respond to some comments: ~ I looked up 1337-speak on Wikipedia and quickly developed a headache. Phew! I hope those who use it grow out of that phase without permanent damage. I love the anti-chat/leek graphic used above. ~ Misspellings online: I'm starting to make those online and in the real world, too. It's very humbling! They used to tell me I should have been an English teacher... ~ If you can knit, you can crochet. I always found knitting to be more complex than crochet. And you don't have to worry about dropping bunches of stitches in crochet - you usually only worry about one stitch at a time. Whatever you do, I hope you enjoy it. ~ I love my yurble as he is, but he'd go snow if anything (for the avatar). The chia was via a transmogrification potion, of course (for the avvie), but the others were zapped by the lab ray. I won't risk that on my Vincezio! Thanks to everyone for the words of welcome :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grass_tiger Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Welcome lil_dynamo_61! Ah, another older person here. Hurrah! I'm 35, so I'm a little too young for your guild. :) Welcome to TDN. It is a great place. I came for the avatar lending program too, but haven't participated yet ... to many other things to do here. :) I can't knit worth anything since I just can't seem to get the tension right and lose count very easily. I can crochet, but never actually make anything because I can't keep count. I really love to cross stitch though, but haven't done that since my daughter was born 1 1/2 years ago. I live in Illinois and am a disabled SAHM, but I used to have a career in Information Security. My parents are somewhere near your neck of the woods though - near Memphis, Tennesse. I grew up in Upstate New York, but they moved down there to get away from the harsh winters. I lived in Texas for 6 years, so I develped a bit of a preference for warmer climates too. We're only up here because of my husband's job (scientific researcher/professor). My spelling is passable (I tend to look things up if I am in doubt), but my husband's drives even me crazy as he is dyslexic. My sentence structure can be a bit odd at times though. I painted my Kougra (almost 2Mill *choke* - still haven't recovered from that), thorned_rose_ was labbed, I plan to leave sadforevermore unpainted, and princess__nice is my current lab pet. I adopted all of them except my Kougra. Thorned_rose_ is up for adoption if you know anyone intersted. I don't like chat speak either. *Ugh* I hope you enjoy your time here!
