Alright... Here we go... Talking...about me >_>
Hello ^^ My name is Preston, but please call me Elie. I am not really all that interesting, but I'll try to find some key points in my boring life to talk about. Let's see... When my dad met my mom---Oh wait, you probably don't want to hear that ^^;
I am a writer/artist (though my art is improving, it still is far from being the best), I love to do both. My art is more of a hobby than anything, but I hope to one day be a published author. I write fantasy stories, and have a very overactive imagination. I currently live in the north west United States, however soon I'll be moving to Manitoba, Canada to live with my boyfriend. I am an RPGer, though I've never actually RPed in a forum, maybe I can try out my wings sometime here :) Who knows?
I'm horribly afraid of heights, fast speeds, and being alone (especially in the dark :<). I am not perfect, and I make mistakes, just like everyone else. Normally I come off as a little... what's a nice word? Mean when people first meet me, but after they get to know me they learn that I'm just a big lovable teddy bear :3 (minus the "big" part...I'm actually rather small...). I have a very large family, so I tend to talk louder than normal people; living with seven other people (especially mostly women) you learn to talk louder to be heard.
I try my hardest to follow rules, and to stay in line, and I feel absolutely horrible when I make someone angry (though, really depending on the person). I love to bake cookies, and have been known to make giant chocolate chip cookies for sad friends :3 Or, just 'cause I want a giant cookie >:3
I play World of Warcraft (yeah I know surprise, surprise!), but upon meeting me I probably seem like the least likely person you could imagine playing the game as I'm shy, timid, and a girly girl (I love Disney :D). I have extremely strong opinions about a lot of things, but you'll often see me ranting about stereotypes and how stupid they are. <- I also can't stand the people that add to the stereotypes by acting just like people say they will because of their gender/age/ethnicity/ect.
I am a sucker for romance, and I'm hopeless at heart. I'm the person you hear in the movie theatre going "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW" right as the couple share their first kiss. (Okay, not to that extreme...yet...) Though I will always have a soft spot for the songs/movies/pictures/ect of the "I Need You" "I Love You" "Don't Leave Me" "I Can't Go On Without You" theme, I loath co-dependency and find it completely heinous that someone would feel the need to harm themselves, be it physically, emotionally, or socially, because of one person leaving them. Yes, it's sad. Yes, it hurts. However, the world isn't ending because of it. You didn't die because of it (hopefully). So you certainly do not need to make such a big fuss about it >_> Just get over yourself, suck it up, and move on. Obviously after everything you've gone through with said person, if they felt the need to leave, then obviously they weren't worth the trouble to begin with. But hey, that's just my opinion!
Anyway...didn't really mean to make such a long post... Just... Introducing myself =D A lot >_> See you all on the forums ^^
Wow. That's quite an insight into you. I don't recall ever seeing a longer introduction.
Yeah sorry about that ^^; Didn't mean for it to be so long.
Never said it was a problem. It's probably a good testimony as to your character. Mostly saying that you use proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar, that you don't type good, you type well. That is a lesson that has been burned into my brain by my English teachers. Since nobody else has yet, I welcome you here with open arms. :hug
Aaaw, thank you so much ^^ :hug
I actually had to teach myself though, none of my teachers ever really cared. They went with the most basic things. You know, I never learned to use a simi-colon in school? How silly is that!
Seems like a perfectly reasonable introduction to me, nothing to apologize about. Great to have another WoW player in the mix. Hopefully you play more than just that though. The world needs more gamers. :)
Anyway:
Welcome aboard. Beware the lot of us, we're all liars and thieves here. Particularly that llearch fellow. I heard he's out to get you. Don't trust anyone who tries to give you advice. You can trust me though. Honest.
Aaah okay :D Trust the one that tells me "I fail" ^^ That's great advice! I'll be sure to stow that away in my bank of knowledge!
Oh! And no I don't just play WoW ^^ That just happens to be my main MMO, heh.
True, if you just play WoW you are a wannabe gamer.
Pfft, if I just had WoW to play I'd probably have a seizure. :erk
Yeah? What other games do you play?
Well, when I was really young, I played EverQuest. Not anymore, though. Now I currently play World of Warcraft, Perfect World, Oblivion, Kingdom Hearts (feed da fandom!), and various other PS2 games (and when I say various >_> I mean lots :boogie)
Over the last year, however, I've cooled down a bit. Now, mostly I write, play WoW, Oblivion, and Perfect World. My poor PS2 has been gathering dust :<
Kingdom Hearts is (imo) the greatest game of all time. I can't wait for KH3. :eager Especially since Square Enix isn't working with Sonyanymore so it should be on the Xbox360.
Oh I know!
Excitement abound! I almost can't wait! =trails off in song=
Actually, they still work with Sony. They're just taking some of their bigger titles and making them no longer Sony exclusive, iirc.
RElax I don't want your baby I already ate. Though I do generally tend to kill, kill things that don't fight back!
I am now going to get the original Fable back out and finish my original intentions. I had 3 main characters, a good knight, a neutral archer, and an evil mage.
Yeah I figured that even they wouldn't give up that type of money :P
And I love Richard! =dances about=
Fable was fun ^^ Though I never really got the chance to play a full game... I had to bum it off a friend at one point in time :cry

Heh, lfg.
Night ELF?!?!!?! *applies ice barrier, encases you in ice, walks back a little, hits you with blizzard*
FOR DA HORDE, MON!!!
...
Err I mean welcome :)
My night elf rogue loves mages. <3 My draenei shadow priest, however doesn't as much. But it is fun to watch them die from dots after I pass away. Not quite as effective as say a warlock, but it works well enough.
I personally am not into WoW. I played EverQuest and FFXI to death and after those an hour of WoW just seemed to be more of the same. Now if it wasn't an April fools day joke, had Blizzard released the StarCraft MMO I would have played that, but unfortunately it isn't real. Fable 2 may be an exception if it is indeed like an MMO, likely due to the fact that it's on a console.

My Troll mage loves it when her ice barirer breaks and things freeze so she can blink and run away. :D. And my Draenei shaman loves it when she pulls a million totems out of her butt and they kill things for her.
Do you pvp any? What battle group are you in? You sound like fun. :)
*Runia,the orc shaman, walks over and gives you a good sniff: Hmmm, you Night Elf, you enemy! But this neutral zone so we get drinks! You buy or me kill!*
Welcome to the "Weird" server! :)

Unfortunately due to hardware issues I really can't PvP (2006 MAC laptop, no mouse, wireless internet = OMFG LAG) But if you ever want a token troll or draenei in any of your parties, I'm so there :D (I'm on Cairne) Though troll = DPS and Draenei = heal even though she's spect for enhancement...I always get stuck healing XD.
Oh any healing capable class knows that pain. You'd be surprised how many groups I get kicked out of once they find out I'm shadow spec'd though. Forget that fact that I pack a bunch of healing gear just in case. They hear shadow and I'm kicked without question. I guess it's the whole shadow form thing that scares them off.
Hi! Welcome to the forums!
Watch out for llearch, he's up to something. Also watch out for anyone who warns you about things, they're also up to something.
Finally! The WoW string is broken! :boogie
Good, now I can say hi. Hi! Welcome aboard, Elieana!
One of my brothers plays Wow quite a bit. I never got into it but i'm sure I'd like it if I tried. I used to play Diablo II hours a day until the communily pissed me off for months in a row. I plays Phantasy Star Online even more until a while ago. Becasue of how much I get into MMOs I've tried to hold back on those that cost money per month
You seem like a cool person. I think I like you already. Welcome to this interesting place. :januscat
You play Oblivion too? :U Good grief, we oughta have a little Elder Scrolls club here. There's three of us. Or a few more. xP
And also, welcome. :3 I guess we don't have to tell you to leave your sanity at the door and keep the claim check for it. You'll fit in well.

...
Now I feel old. When _I_ was really young, I played a text based Star Trek game. Or another one about driving a truck, that I never really got the hang of.
On vt100 terminals. Back when they had punched cards and paper tape, both of which I have personally handled...
Now excuse me whilst I get out my zimmerframe and shotgun to get those damn kids off my lawn...

Oh WOW gone for a few hours and my thread becomes an epic WoW discussion xD This was definitely not what I was expecting ^^
Thank you everyone for making me feel at home <3~ And yes, I play a night elf (dun dun duuun!). I have a hunter, druid, and warrior that I play ^^ Soon to have a mage, too! As soon as I decide to level her >_>
Aaah I'd love to reply to everyone but I simply do not have the time! But I must ask one question - Why must I look out for llearch? .-. That's the second time someone has told me to! =begins to scratch her head while others laugh at her noobishness=
Because he has ears.... and he lurks.
Oooh! That would explain the box! xD
Preston, huh? I'm gonna guess a lot of people think you're a guy before they see you then.
Well anyways, welcome to the forums Elie!
Hi! I'm auragongal, the partially insane girl who played WoW only once and never played it again, and personally I think Tales of Symphonia is the Most Awesome Game ever!
also, I'm a boredom master, before I explain that, my brother Zoras has something to say:
Zoras- hi! i have to say one thing before i get in too deep, "Chuck Norris"
also, Locktar!
and finally, be sure to get a Horde character on the Scilla surver. i look forward to meeting you in Orgrimmar.
here's the lamebrain again.
Zoras, I'm going to kill you... and no, I do not have Dual Personalities, it's just Zoras is too lazy to get his own account, and he is more evil than Llearch. he thought up a Half skeletal minotaur with dragon wings and a Flaming Skull named Macho when he was in first grade, If that ain't a sign of an evil person I don't know what is. I'm glad he didn't say Frawshock in his speech.
Nobody is more evil than llearch. Except maybe Dark. But I'm not entirely sure.
Yes, sadly. Even in class the teachers upon first meeting me would repeat my name several times to make sure I heard it right when the took attendance.. It's rather tedious ^^
And hello to you too! However, I'm sorry but Chuck Norris must die. A horribly painful death. Why? Because I'm tired of hearing his name D:< >_> Anywho.. Tell your brother he should make his own account and stop bumming off of you. =P
And I could name a few people who are probably more evil than anyone on this forum.. but then I'd be getting into politics... and that'd be no fun ^^

If he's too lazy to get his own account, the mods will be too lazy to attempt to differentiate between you when we ban you.
Just a hint.

I've handled paper tape, but that's it. I never saw the machine that used it, though if memory serves, it was a dataset to construct a chess-piece on a CNC lathe.
And I so want a VT102.
My first gaming would have been on the ZX Spectrum, circa 1983. Probably
Bear George which I doubt anyone has ever heard of.

Off the top of my head, the list includes: myself, Aisha, Ryudo, Danny, Arcalane, Turnsky, Elieana, Reese, Bill, Techmaster, Dagardo and probably a few more. Rowne did, but I don't know what happened to him.
Anyway, before I forget again, welcome to the forum. Read and obey the rules, don't do anything stupid. Apart from that, have fun and enjoy it.
Welcome to the madhouse Elieana :3 Do leave your sanity at the door it tends to be a hindrance here :mwaha
And may I inquire as to what server you play on in WoW?
And you're an RPer ooooh goodie we need more victims players >:3

He posts more. His evil is spread out. Mine is concentrated.
Pure concentrated evil? No pulp?
Plus added Vitamin D.

I play on Bronzebeard :3
Interesting I do have a couple of characters on Bronzebeard but they are only lowbies. I live on Cenarion Circle :B

Sure it wasn't Vitamin F... for FAIL? :P

A refreshingly awesome newbie :3 Welcome to the forums, ma'am. I approve of your literacy.
I would have typed more, but all of my enthusiasm got lost amidst my lethargy. Either way, welcome to the forums.

I once had a punch card program. Made it myself. Never had anything to run it on, and really I just drew the pictures of the cards. It was for an assembly class (we went through a number of even older methods of programming.)
And my first gaming was on an Apple IIe, a little roach game that made myself in basic.
Anyways, hello to he not quite a newbie anymore because you have been here for a little while! Hope you don't teh break.

I've run batch jobs on aging (at the time no less) with data tape and punch cards on IBM 407s and the new (for the time) IBM 3031s... mostly helping my dad, who's idea of fun was teaching me Fortran and COBOL.
I think I've worked on an Amdahl... but mostly IBM system/360 and such.
My first gaming was along Shades line, Apple IIe... small racing game and a neat little choose your own adventure, text game about wierd science and being transformed into a fox.
Eh... I'm back. Sorry if it seemed like I dropped off of the face of the earth RIGHT after I joined .-. Real life kind of kicked me in the ass and kept me down for a bit...
But I'm back! And .-. I have a lot of catching up to do...lol...
Hot hint, none of us keep up with the whole forum. Unless you are llearch. Then you aren't actually a person, rather you are a collective of gnomes. Even this gnome collective does not keep track of everything.

Correct. I don't keep up with the Line In The Stars IC thread, nor... uh... No, actually, that's about it.
Huh. There used to be two others...
I keep up with -almost- the whole forum (everything except the lusty siren tavern). Is this a bad thing? :B
Well, the Tavern doesn't get much traffic anyway... I keep up with everything except the Half Moon Theatre and the Haunted Ballroom.
I'm a bad mod, and only keep track of the areas that are currently driving other moderators to drink.
Although I do tend to check on what the troublemakers are posting. Happily, I don't think many of them are getting into trouble at this point.
Here's a friendly hello.
Hello!
Here's an unfriendly hello
HELLO! I WILL DEVOUR YOUR SOUL!!!!!!1111oneoneshiftone!
Nah, just kidding. Welcome back
