Greetings, travellers.

Reyben · 08-07-2009, 07:09 PM

I'm new. Hello.

I'm Reyben and I'm half reader, half writer. Wait, that's a lie. I'm three quarters writer and one quarter reader. I'm also one third cuttlefish and two fifths tableclothe, but the family doesn't like me to talk about those parts.

Anyway. I'm English, and therefore naturally reserved- or, if you prefer, horrifically repressed. I'm young, and therefore congenitally lazy despite my better judgment. I have a weakness for anything involving robots, technology tends to break around me and as I get older I'm becoming increasingly afraid of the colour blue.

I think that's more information than anyone cares to know, so I'll stop hereabouts. Just to say, nice to meet you all, and I'm sure I'll be making further posts quite shortly. As soon as I work out my way around.

Now, who else is here?

ShortNCuddlyAm · 08-07-2009, 07:44 PM

Welcome Reyben! That's plenty enough information to know you'll probably fit right in on MR, and especially in the Llounge

Pull up a chair, have a drink (if Marc offers you one, put the seatbelts on first

) and enjoy! Oh, and avoid the blue one next to the fish, given what you said above. It's nothing to be afraid of, but still...

More seriously, are you thinking of getting a device? If so, allow me to recommend the Sony 505 in stunningly smart silver

Welcome to MobileRead, Reyben!

Like Am has said, you will definitely find kindred spirits in the Llounge!!

We also have a Writers' Corner here the you might find helpful. Enjoy!

Happy Reading (and Writing

)!

Hi Reyben, welcome to MR!

Hi Reyben and welcome to MobileRead

Reyben · 08-07-2009, 09:33 PM

Thanks, y'all. Writer's corner? I shall head there forthwidth.

(You know, I don't know what it is, but I find something vaguely menacing about anything that can simply be called 'A Device.')

ShortNCuddlyAm · 08-07-2009, 09:36 PM

In this instance the "a device" referred to is not a trebuchet. Or a chair to enjoy ZCs in. This may or may not reassure you...

dreams · 08-07-2009, 11:06 PM

Welcome to MR, Reyben!

I'll follow you to the Writers' Corner.

I have the Sony 505 *BLUE* and love it! You should indulge yourself and get one of these little devices

Reyben · 08-08-2009, 05:25 PM

Thank you all for the welcome!

to Mobileread. (clickable welcome)

You most definitely must get over that fear of BLUE thing you're developing, or we most certainly won't be getting along.

So, the first step to conquering your fear is to face your fear:

BLUE

BLUE

BLUE

BLUE

BLUE

BLUE

BLUE

See? Nothing bad happened, right?

GET OVER IT ! ! !

That'll be $300 please. I'll put it on your tab if you like.

Now, that being said . . . the SILVER SONY is best.

Reyben · 08-12-2009, 01:40 PM

Aaaaaaaargh! Horrible things have happened to me!

Really ?!?!?!?

Well now . . . have a seat, lean back and relax . . . now tell us all about it . . . and what makes you believe BLUE was the cause of these horrible things happening to you?

Reyben · 08-12-2009, 03:20 PM

Mainly, it was the Dulux paint catalog left behind at the scene of the crime, with all the shades of blue circled in blue crayon.

The horrible things... defy description. But they involved Cthulu, repeated lightning strikes and an umbrella.
