Is this the right place for introduction threads?

I'm a little lost, you see.

My name is Sarah. I like trying different hot sauce flavors, approaching strange dogs, and any rock song that uses the handclap sound. I dislike sitting at my desk, ringtones that have actual song lyrics, and avocados.

In terms of more practical information, I live in the Washington, DC area and work in web development. I'm in my early twenties and taking a year off of school before going back to attempt to get my Masters and PhD in Rhetoric. During the time off, I am also studying dance, doing some volunteering for feminist/GLBT groups, and (yay!!!) getting married.

You all seem pretty cool, and I have been looking for a place to talk about random stuff. Sometimes I am very longwinded and I have a tendency to take things too seriously, but I am friendly and unlikely to make too many annoying grammar/spelling mistakes. I hope that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendshipi!

Undertoad (The Management), Bruce & Wolf (The Moderators) tend to welcome people as and when they notice their first posts, but here's a welcome from me -a poster. Welcome!

I hope you stick around and get to know us.

Introduction threads tend to wither and die here - we get to know people gradually, once they've decided to stick around. It's good to get some information up front though.

How did you find us?

Welcome to the Cellar!

Hot sauce and strange dogs? You've come to the right place.

Spelling errors? Look out for Zippy - he's the spelling Nazi. :-)

Personally, I've lost count of how many hot sauces I've tried but I keep coming back to Tobasco.

I found you because my brother used to be into photography and he was always sending me links to the Image of the Day. I don't think he ever registered, though.

I can't believe I misspelled "friendship"! I think it's because I wrote "relationship" and then didn't want it to look like I was flirting with anyone... except Shawnee 123. How YOU doin? :p

Damn, just my luck...finally someone flirts with me and it's another woman, while mistaking me for a guy...an engaged woman at that!

Hime's getting a quiz.

1. Who would you tell first if you found out you were pregnant?

2. Sunrise, or Sunset?

3. Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

4. In one word, describe the color blue.

5. Ketchup or Mustard on your Hotdog?

VI. On a clock with Roman Numerals, why do they use IIII as 4?

7. Who's that behind you?

8. Is it possible to be 'too sexy for your shirt'?

9. If you had to make a hat out of meat, which meat would you choose, and why?

10. What happens when you hold your [shift] key down too long?

she didnt say she was getting married to a dude. and your user title gives away your femininininity. also, there's the feminist/ GLBT bit.....what's the T for, do you think? so, don't lose hope!

I object to question 7 in that it gives me The Fear.

Welcome to the cellar Hime. You'll certainly be given your ration of crap from the others here, so I'll pass. In the meantime, may I have your avocados?
