Well I better introduce myself before I get to posting random things too much and people start to wonder who I am posting things... I go by CeNedra (my nick is taken from the Belgariad and Mallorean series by David Eddings) and I work as a network administrator for a company in the US. I found my way here through Cep who I got to know through another website that revolved around Ultima Online. Sanity is not my strong point and as Cep can attest I'm a researcher. By that I mean I tend to go overboard on looking things up (fact checking) on topics and things...so unless one wants a full plate of info to digest be careful of asking me for help finding something out. I also have a twisted sense of humor so sometimes I get on joke sprees.... Well that might be enough info to be a warning to others We now return you to your regularly scheduled web surfing already in progress....

A twisted sense of humor eh??? Well, you'll fit right in.

I have to wonder...does any member of Gatchamania have sanity as a strong point? I don't think we do. Hmmm...

I certainly dont. (Ps, she is an Eddings fan too, his fantasy, I mean, his novels sucks.)

Ello Cen, I think we are safe here from the....you know what *taps nose conspiratorily*

Aaaah! Traitor! You will die for your infidelity, Tengu!

Skinny smilie overload

Now what have I done wrong now?? (Cep, you really should not have put all those smiles up, `some` people think they are a real substitute for communication.)

You mean they're not? You, Tengu, are an infidel for your opinions on David Eddings (though I myself only actually like the books relating to the Belgariad/ Mallorean...does that make me an infidel?) Add that to the fact that I was pretty hyper at the time, and well, you get smilie overdosage...to the max. ^_^ Smilies good.

*Takes the opportunity while Tengu and Elvin debate over the use of smilies to whisk CeNedra in one smooth fluid motion into the Frisking Room....for...er...research purposes of course..* Welcome Cenedra to the Madness and Mayhem. Only time will tell exactly what damage will be incured on your sanity..and just HOW twisted your humour is.. Serve up your best dish of info , comments, observations or sheer mad ramblings at will.. Youll be suprised at the wierd and wonderful appetites these Gatchamaniacs actually do possess.

Hey...where'd CeNedra go? Oh...for cryin' out loud, Imi, how many people do you have in there?!

Enough people to ensure the insanity continues .. Im pretty sure CeNedra has enough of a grasp as to how this place works now..Have seen her stumbling around the place recently, with a somewhat glazed look looking suitably zombified by the array of weirdo's nuttos' comedians, philosphers, Gatch experts, fic writers and artists we have in here..

Cenedra, You will find we love facts, especially around Gatchaman. Now the question is who has been locking away all the nice new people after frisking. *looks at Imi*

I think she's keeping them in her closet, or something. She's gotta be. Look at her. Whistling innocently like she doesn't know anything. She's guilty for sure. Bad Imi! You know you're not supposed to lock newbies in the closet!

Imi is encouragable. Velcome Velcome CeNedra! Come on in, take your clothes off and ....oh wait...wrong forum. Come on in! Take your coat off! Have a godiva chocolate on me!

Fresh baked cookies? Kids helped. Used all my good cooking stuff, too -- even had to use the slotted spoon to get the worms out of the sandbox before they started cooking.

lol and just what sort of cookies are these Cricket?

From the sand box. Except, I'll be following the usual summer-time potty-training regime for Rocket this year, so I suggest you don't actually eat the next batch.

Hmmm...I wouldn't particularly recommend eating sand cookies anyway, but these sound like they might have a secret ingredient. Why do kids eat sand, anyway? I was watching a few kids at church on the playground, and I guess while I was paying attention to those throwing the sand, another managed to eat a bunch of it. He started puking it all up right as his mom walked up. And then she said it was all right because he did it all the time. She figured he'd learn eventually. ^_^ He did, thank goodness. I don't think I could have handled kids barfing up sand anymore than I already have.

REad an article ages ago, about how a group of people from the South actually eat sand. Started generations ago when they needed something to fill their stomaches (yep, black slaves), and they acquired a taste for it. One even had a box of sand from that area shipped over when he was at school.

I know that you can make bread out of sand but apparently its not edible.

Hi Cen! Hope you have a chasity belt, you'll need it with all the weirods trying to frisk you around here! *Grin*

....Ashke...she knows and is friends with Cep. I don't think a chastity belt is in her possession.

Ashke! Tsk Tsk, frisking is merely a security precaution and a patting down of newcomers.....what ever made you think it was anything but

Maybe it has something to do with the grin you get when you do it Cep?

Whatever do you mean

Hey, Iwas frisked my Imi! Theres no way THAT was a security precaution! *grin* She has way too much fun!

They always say its for security precautions you tend to relaise very quickly its not. Imi even adds more details about it being to 'check your affiliations' 'check for hidden weapons' Its those grins that give them away
