In order to follow montsnmags instructions, I shall begin with:
“Hi, I'm silly, and I'm proud of it”
With that said, I hope I have avoided any dire consequences from Adrian and a quiver of bananas.
I have been here about a month and I believe the established members here will go out of their way to include new arrivals. I also, however, must admit that this place can be rather overwhelming at times. It’s not so bad when I remain in the safer confines of the lounge, but venturing out into the other areas can be fraught with peril. I see ebook formats I’ve never heard of, technical discussions of software that read like the abstract ponderings of string theory, and a chat area that honestly appears to be the sacred haven for a bizarre fellow with a zombie complex. Thus, I often return post haste to the lounge.
Even within the sanctuary of the lounge, however, there are times I feel a bit left out of the loop. I must admit I do not know who or what Adrian is, I don’t know what is next to the blue fish, and I now fear sock puppets. I’m alright with this, because if I really wanted to know, I would ask. Instead, I read along, pickup a clue here and there, and pick my spots to join the conversation. I feel it’s as much my responsibility to become part of the community as it is for the community to welcome me into its fold. It’s simply a matter of time and patience. I have both.
