Handrejka 1,840 Posted January 6, 2017 I'm sorry that it's taken me this long to write up something in the intros thread. I honestly thought I had. Here's my official hello at last. I'm pushing 41, and I'm a non-surfer-girl who lives in Maui, Hawaii. I have a fairly weird mix of interests that includes Discworld, nonduality, Hawaiian music (Keali'i Reichel, Kuana Torres Kahele), Minecraft, collecting some types of dolls, and old cars (that is more of a drool-from-a-distance thing, sadly, but my dream car is a 1950 Buick.) I'm currently reading books by Rupert Spira and Adyashanti. I have actually been lurking here for several years. Yep, I know how creepy that sounds. The length of the time I've been lurking shows my appreciation of the particular atmosphere of the board, with its wry dry humor. Even though I obviously must enjoy the board a lot to stay with it for so long, I have never really joined in for a few reasons: 1) I have memory issues that make trying to put together a list unnecessarily difficult to do. 2) I'm a bit short on the ready wit and snappy comebacks that are such a trademark of the posters here. 3) Being non-British, a lot of stuff about people famous only in the UK is unfortunately a mystery to me. I picked my username with the idea of maybe having some sort of witty title under it at some point the way Time does. What types of dolls? I used to collect dolls too, don't have the room any more though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieJones 63 Posted January 6, 2017 Welcome, Angels. I've recently started posting after lurking for a while too. You're not alone in not knowing some of the names that crop up here. I've no clue whatsoever who Gord Downie is other than some folk round her expect him to leave us this year. Maybe it's because I'm an out of touch granny. lol You'll be fine. xx https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gord_Downie Basically he is the lead singer for Canadian group The Tragically Hip. He was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in May 2016. With that said there are many names that come up here and I have no idea who they are. I'm just another out of touch granny with a yarn (wool) fetish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angels 32 Posted January 7, 2017 What types of dolls? I used to collect dolls too, don't have the room any more though. Excellent, always fun to meet a fellow collector. What doll(s) did you collect? I tend to focus on 18" dolls like American Girl, Maplelea, etc, and to a lesser degree, 11 1/2" fashion dolls. If I had money, though, I'd collect those gorgeous late 1800s French dolls like Bru. The prices they sell for, though, make me wish the good Doc would be kind enough to lend me the Tardis for a bit so I could time travel back and buy these dolls new.

RadGuy 1,605 Posted January 10, 2017 Not a "new here" situation, but this might be the best thread: Today, January 9th, was my 2 year anniversary of making an account on here. Thanks everyone for making me feel welcome and generally tolerating my shitposting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CastAway 475 Posted January 18, 2017 Hey! I'm (clearly) new here - was directed here by one of the many news articles on the website after the celebrity deaths of last year, and honestly I found this really interesting - much more healthy than the self-feeding cycle of grief that my social media sites were after the big names died last year. (I can't say much though - as a fan of both the Harry Potter and Star Wars series, I wasn't much better after Alan Rickman and Carrie Fisher) (That said, the constant cycle of grief for celebrities who most people on my social media didn't care about until the died was very annoying.) About me - I'm 22, female, and Indian. I like a weird and eclectic mix of books, and being non-British, a lot of the names on the main Death List, as well as those being discussed in the forums, are a bit unknown to me. I'm happy to Google them once I hear about them though! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
