Hallo, it's kinda belated, but I wanted to know whether I would actually like rp-ing here before I got attatched. So now, not only am I attached I'm obsessed. I think I just booted our Admin. from the top ten poster list. Woot!

Well, I'm Erin, and I don't actualy live in New Zealand, I live in Canada. I put New Zealand just for kicks and I've always wanted to go there. Yah, so I have black hair and hazel eyes, and I'm taller than most of the guys I know. Well, not really they're about even with me.

Ummm... When I talk I use huge words, but I don't really feel like typing them out most of the time. So thats why my vocabulary is limited except when I have a longish post, 'cause I don't like repitition when it can be helped. my friends used to yell at me when I im-ed them with words they didn't know. It's left me quite traumatized. They don't even apologize anymore. :(

I like food, but I also like sports when my guy friends aren't being idiots. My tongue died long ago so I can eat anything short of kim che which one of my friends eats daily with his lunch. Blegh. And yes, I have actually eaten worms and whenever I meet a new acquaintance that doesn't believe me I eat one. So I've lost count. I know. The irony, kim che? Disgusting. But worms? Not even a shudder.

I'm exceedingly impatient, and when I have to wait to long for anything I get crotchety. I'm also curious, and its the main reason I still read the series.

Worms eh? How bizzare!

That was an interesting, if slightly hyperactive, introduction. (And I don't mean it insultingly, it made me laugh.)

Well I suppose proper introductions are due. I'm Ruth, although I seem to have earned the nickname Nana mostly due to the fact that I'm pretty much the oldest person on here at the grand old age of 26.

I'm a history teacher in a secondary school (ages 11-18) here in the UK and I'm a Brit born and bred so sometimes I need a little help with understanding the idiosyncracies of North American life heh.

Ummm. Yeah. I think I read The Song of the Lioness Quartet when most of the people on this board were babies, possibly even before one or two people were born, and if that isn't scary I don't know what is.

So yeah. That's me.

Well, I'm glad it amused you. I like amusing people to... 26 at a secondary school? Wow, I bet alot of the older boys get crushes on you.Silly beings. Here they usually try not to put you in secondary school until your either married or thirty. Yeah, well I have a friend who lived in England so I know a bit more of the expressions and such. I used to have this really cockney accent when I spoke with an english accent. She said I sounded like someone from the bad end of London. She laughed at me, and now when I try it I sound more like Keira Knightley. Is it buttocks or bullocks, I can never figure that out... yah... I sort of imagined you like this social studies teacher I used to have who was in her mid fifties and yelled a us all quite randomly. I've been trying to figure out how you got hooked on TP's (TOILET PAPER!!!!oh... thats bad) books, and it's been driving me quite mad. Note above statement of impatience. I knew you couldn't be that old though. i guess it was just a fun flashback. We were so mean to her...
Well I think I can explain most of the stuff. American and Canadian expressions are pretty much the same, except we say pardon instead of excuse me, and little stuff like that. Northern Americans are fine, but the farther south you go the worse it gets in how they speak. I've been to Texas and that is so bad... I had nightmares. It's not their fault though. I mean none of us can help the way we speak. but w/e. Yeah I'm hyper. Definately hyper.

to be honest most attempts at cockney accents by Americans/Canadians that I've heard sound like australians...even Johnny Depp in From Hell was bad...but I've already ranted on that already. As long as it never happens in my presence we'll get on just fine.

I think I'll ignore the 50's comment for now. I work in secondary school because thats what I'm good at, over here there's no lower age limit as to when people can work in that sector, you just have to be stricter about the lines between you and the older kids. Teenage boys (and yes, horrors, even teenage girls) do get crushes but it's part hormones part because of being in a position of authority. I just ignore it until they go away.

I have Canadian relatives so I can tell the difference between American and Candian accents and I've heard some of the different neuances. You use more British expressions than Americans do.

I am Kit also sometimes know as Kitten or Tink and despite my many protests Kitty.



I’m a character acceptance mod, an extremely picky mod. When the word thief is misspelled it annoys me although most other words I will barely notice.

I’m short, bi-racial, and ADHD. I live in the commonwealth of PA. You can tell because I refer to it with its abbreviation.

I am also related to Talkback and he lives in the room next to mine.

The age was not a personal thing. Thats just how I imagine every English/Social studies/ History teacher I haven't met. There's no age limit really, its just a trend I've noticed. Australian... my friend said I just sounded really dirty. Maybe she was being nice though.

I think I knew all that about you Kit, except the kitty, and Tink bit. Don't worry I won't take advantage. Kitty will always be the girl from x-men who walks through walls. And tink will always be tinkerbell.

Hello, and it seems like I am a bit late!

I'm Emmi, and probably the most interesting fact about me right now is that I sneak over to my neighbors-who-are-never-home's vacation house to use their cable internet. Yes, sadly, as far as internet connections go, I'm still in the dark ages. Add to that a family who hates all things computer-related, and you will see why I would rather hack ;) .

I can't think of anything else especially important to say, so I think I'll leave it at that...

I did eat a cricket once.

I thought about doing that, but then I dissected a grasshopper, and that ended it with me and crickets and grasshoppers.

Well, it was inside a hunk of chocolate. But people in Africa eat them all the time.

They're pretty good.

Says the gurl who's eater trantulas, alligator, rattlesnake, snails, and squid.

Anyway, I’m Charlie, which is my real name. I live in Florida at the moment, but the rest of the year in PA. I’m a boarder, which is a way of saying that I handle anything that’s made out of wood and can be used to move upon.

heh. My first thought was that you meant were at boarding school. How terribly English of me!

Oh, I haven't had alligator or a tarantula. They're had to come by here. But have you had tripe is the question? And if you have, what about chicken livers?
