Who helped initiate you?

GraceKrispy · 03-05-2010, 09:39 PM

I was going to say "devirginated" you, but twas afraid Iʻd get some really random and intimate stories, and frankly, Iʻm just not in the mood for those today.

So I mentioned in this thread that curly was really around to help me out in my initiation into the whole psock debacle (and this was where I started making friends... people feeling sorry for my horrid paint program skills). Who was around for you? And is he/she/it still around? And, if not, what the heck did you do to her/him/it?

I was fifteen, in a graveyard with a girl who was nicknamed after a can of soft drink and I'd missed the last bus home....oh wait

Now I see what you mean.

and *that* was exactly what Iʻd hope to avoid.... *shaking head*

A graveyard? Now, really! With a girl named Coke? Pepsi? Tab? Orange Crush? Sprite?

I was fifteen, cider was cheap, graveyards were good places to hang out and not get nicked by coppers. We were two drunken ships in the night, well, maybe one tug and a speedboat

It was over before it began and it left me dazed, confused and wishing that I'd caught that last bus home. Ahh, the horrible, horrible memories of youth.

Ah, the wisdom that comes with age.... my "first" story is not nearly as exciting. It doesnʻt involve dead people, graves, or any sort of soft drink. It did, however, involve a futon and a few orders of popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken came after the fact, though, so itʻs not nearly as interesting as it sounds.

As for MR, I just stuck my nose in a copyright debate, involving Trenian and Steve Jordan.

As for the other, one of the requirements of being a gentleman is not discussing such matters, to protect the reputation of the lady....

Initiated into what? This site, ebooks/ereaders? I found out about ereaders (I knew about the Kindle but never really paid attention I guess) when I saw a news story about them. I started poking around and found my beloved 505. Then I started googling things and found MR, joined, and here I am! I gave my spare 505 to my mechanic's assistant and bought one for my generic sister and I have told them both to come to this site for anything they need; there is a lot you can learn from here!

kindlekitten · 03-06-2010, 12:49 AM

generic sister? is that as opposed to name brand?

Nah, I kind of meant initiated you into the lounge

I wasnʻt very clear, sorry!

whatʻs a generic sister? Better or worse than a brand-name sister?

dang! I should have refreshed, but I was having computer issues on my paper that my husband is trying to print at his workplace! You beat me to it, by a whole half-hour!

There ya go kids- the danger of not refreshing!

Lol, I've known her since first grade. We became very close and we were around each other so much we just started calling each other sisters. Her mom threw me a graduation party and everything, and it's cute, she signs all of her cards #2 mom. I say generic because she's not my real sister.

It was in a field of corn yer 'onour ....

Oh - you mean here at MR

... I just came and stayed ....

Foolish humans, you do not need to be initiated
to worship me!

My rites require little more than cowering and
begging and running ... lots of running.
