Hello DU!

[XOEnterprises]

:hi: I've been a lurker for quite some time (since I was a young teen, ages ago it seems), and for some reason, I just decided to join in these past few days! Probably the worst time ever to sign up, but I've always been good at that.

Any advice? Other than avoiding GD: Cage Match? I'm majoring in U.S. Government and even I don't want to attempt to stick a toe in. :scared:

1. Check out all the forums

Post in threads that interest you. Try to have a thick skin, as sometimes there are attacks, even here in the Lounge.

Welcome to DU.

:hi:

[XOEnterprises]

5. Thank you!

Oh, I'm used to the attacks. I mod on another board (not politics related), and people get upset over the silliest things. Someone once sent me a scathing PM for having the wrong avatar. :eyes:

I'm still in half-lurker mode. I keep reading threads and wanting to say something, totally forgetting that now I can!

14. Welcome to DU

Grab a beer and have some fun with us :)

[XOEnterprises]

17. Thank you!

I could use it. It's finals week. x(

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Just looked at your DeviantArt site

I like your style. :)



You'll find some comrades here, no doubt. :hi:

[XOEnterprises]

18. Thank you!

I'm much, much better at short stories, but I just haven't had time. I always worry that my poetry lacks any sort of style.

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. I suppose everyone who's creative

has that worry at least once in awhile. It's native to the beast.

I particularly like "Twins." It left me thinking rather deeply.



Oh — you have a couple of DU neighbors, but I'll leave you to find them yourself. :P

[XOEnterprises]

20. How true.

I don't how many times my partner and I have had the "You really think I'm talented?" discussion.

I love Twins. I'm glad you like it, as it's rather special to me.

Or I'll let those neighbors find me. :D

21. My dear XOEnterprises!

Welcome to DU!

Nice to have another poster in the same time zone...

So often I wonder where my friends are, and then I remember that it's 3 hours later for them, or 8 hours later, or 9 hours later....You get the picture!

And I believe primate1 is also into Deviant art...

He'll be about now and again!

I also write poetry from time to time...

And post pictures...

Hope you'll let us see your face, and your poetry soon as well!

:hi:

[XOEnterprises]

22. My dear Miss Peggy!

Thank you for your kind welcome!

The time zone thing is always fun, especially trying to keep everyone's "time" in your head at once.

I've seen his work-very evocative. I've also seen your poetry-you're quite good.

My face might take some time. I'm no good at self portraits-I look terrified of myself! :rofl:

23. Howdy ?

wanna cup of tea, chap ? get in , let me put the kettle on the stove.

How's Mom ? did you hear that poor aunt Margret died ... anyway , what have you been doing with your life ? hope you're not wasting it on booze , weed and hookers you naughty naughty boy.

[XOEnterprises]

28. Hello!

Tea, please. Mind if I remove my shoes?

As for the weed, women and whiskey...at least one of those will get me in a lot of trouble with my darling. Probably two of them.

25. Welcome!

:hi:

Advice? Think before you post....oh, and, it's not a good idea to PUI. ;-)

[XOEnterprises]

30. I'll try to remember that.

;) DU and alcohol do not mix.

[Critters2]

26. You have learned well, young padawan.

Just stay out of GD: P and you'll be fine. Might want to check out your state forum to find some progressive neighbors.

Welcome! :hi:

[XOEnterprises]

31. !

:rofl: Personally, I'm in the "I want the primary to be over so I know who I'm going to be making signs for this summer" camp.

I've peeked in there already. I hope I can find some nice people close to home!

Thank you! :hi:
