Hi! My name is: Katie. dammit.

[Hi! My name is: Katie]

Hi, I'm Katie, I'd like to introduce myself to all the nice friendly people in this shiny new forum.

I am a relatively uninteresting person, but I am trying to correct this sad fact with ten easy steps:

1. Learning to play guitar. Everyone likes a musician right? I have a sweet Hummingbird Epiphone that wants to grow up to be a Gibson.

2. Completing my education. I kan't do much wit what I haf, so I gonna go lern at the big communite collage. I ought to graduyate in tha spring.

3. Art projects. I love drawing, so I am trying to discipline myself to do more of it so I can start selling my brilliant works again.

4. Learning to do web design. I want to figure out that new fangled contraption known by the younguns as the internet.

5. Buying prettier shoes. I totally just bought the cutest pair of ballet flats with the sweetest little birdie on it.

6. Continuing to proudly use my now outdated iBook. And admiring at a distance all other Mac products, because they are soo pretty, and soo expensive.

7. Reading more books. I just finished the Harry Potter book, and he... hah... I won't tell you. I also like other young adult novels, Twilight, Lightning Thief, and Nobody's Princess. I read some of Obama's the Audacity of Hope, and I've read Theory of Justice which was soo good. I don't generally like dead people books, though I do enjoy Mark Twain quotes.

8. Aerobics: I'm pretty sure the port-o-potty squat is pretty erotic.

9. Challenging myself mentally with games. I LOVE games!!!

10. Writing!!!! Writing!!! Writing!!!

So maybe those 10 things won't make me the coolest kid on the block, but they do make me a pretty happy chick... To be honest I just wanted to see if I could post a new thread and boost my post count.

Now I can't wait to see if anyone reads all of this. Hah.

I read it all, and I find you to be a delightful addition to this fine writing community and the forums!

Welcome!

[Dragavan]

May I ask why you chose the name "Hi! My name is: Katie" for the forums? It seems rather odd and hard to say out loud every time we'd want to talk to you. And you'd have to introduce yourself with, "Hi, my name is Hi! My name is: Katie, pleased to meet you." Yeah, it reminds me of what Prince did with the whole symbol thing and calling himself TAFKAP.

Either way, it's nice to see you here in the new IS forums Hi! My name is: Katie.

[Nappi]

I keep thinking of that eminem song every time I read her new name

[Dragavan]

Thinking about it, Hi! My name is: Katie should really be shortened to something more easily writable. SO, following the example of TAFKAP (The Artist Formerly Known As Prince) I dub her HiMNIK.

From this point forward, please call her HiMNIK.

[Hi! My name is: Katie]

Look, my name is Katie! But you can call me whatever you want... but watch out, because my boyfriend is real mean and he gets mad easilly... hah. But I'm not threatening you or anything... see? I'm just a pretty bird, with a pretty name. All you boys need to stop obsessing over the size of my moniker.

But seriously, you can call me Himnik if it pleases you.

[donteatpoop]

Great. Who tod Katie about this place?

Someone really dropped the ball here.

[Hi! My name is: Katie]

End insisted that I come at once to register... but actually, Drag told me about the site to begin with. He's my homie... or something.

What do you mean someone dropped the ball? They dropped the ball by telling me? As in I shouldn't be here?

~HiMNiK aka Katie

P.S. I like your pooping Ninja. Though it is disconcerting at first glance.

[Vesnic]

Don't worry, Katie, Poop is just like a five-year-old, making fun of girls because he doesn't know how to talk to them. Sad, really, for a grown man to have such cognitive delays. And the scatology thing has got to go.

WHOA, someone just farted! Ah hahahahahahahahah!

Like I said, the scatology thing has got to go.

Apoth's sudden arrival in 3...2...1...


All of the gurlz, changed their names, used smilies in the titles of their first posts and have instant messenger contact links.

I dunno why I find this insignificant difference between the male and female forum members so fascinating, but I'm just glad I can spy on ALL of you with ease now.

*checks the Who's Online feature to see what everyone's currently doing again*

[Vesnic]

We're a big happy family anyway, right? Apoth and I IM each other all the time, so I guess in familial terms that makes us like, brother and sister...or, um, wait...this is beginning to sound like an End Master story. You too changed your name, End! I don't remember there being a SPACE there before. Or do I just have juvenile Alzheimer's?

Anyway, I just remembered what Katie's new title reminds me of, and I'm trying to up my post count, so I'll mention it here. It reminds me of that song that goes...

Hi, my name is Joe
And I work
In a button factory
I got a wife, a dog
and a family!
One day
The boss came up to me
He said hey Joe
Are you busy?
I said NO.
So push the button
with your right hand

[apotheosis]

I'm not a fan of the maximum of 10 posts per page. That seems kind of lame. It would make more sense to have 15 or 20 posts per page otherwise I'm going to have to do a lot of page flipping to catch up on any threads that grow out of control (as they had a tendency to do in the old forum.... awww I miss that one...)

[donteatpoop]

I'm glad to see you didn't leave your whiney-ass attitude back over on the old forums, apoth.

[apotheosis]

I'm not whining, I'm using destructive criticism. There is a difference.

[Dragavan]

I'm not whining, I'm using destructive criticism. There is a difference.

One makes you a bitch and the other makes you an ass?

Either way, it's not really a positive. Although some of your recent actions (post wise and that video) do happen to show that you enjoy and take pride in that being as ass thing. I have been relatively quite and polite about it, but I really think you have a problem that you seem to take sick pleasure in the destroying of others happiness. It's one thing to experience Schadenfreude, but do actually attempt to cause anger, stress, and pain in others for your own pleasure is just sick and wrong. The fact that you ended up being wrong about the spoilers, doesn't excuse the fact that you didn't know it when you tried to ruin other peoples happy experiences for your own amusement.

Before I used to find you to be an occasionally amusing annoyance who posted way too much on the forums (most being advertisements for your story), but otherwise had no real issue with you. The change over recent weeks/months into a seemingly angry destructive asshole who likes to cause pain and stress in others has made me lose what little respect I may have had for you. I won't really say much more about it, as that is not my way, but you have dropped down onto that list that Michael still holds the very bottom (top?) spot on. Chubby used to be on it too, but he actually redeemed himself before he went and disappeared again and now I miss him. Michael really has no hope of ever leaving the list, or even his spot on it.

Sorry to have had this rant come out in your intro thread HiMNIK, but it just happened here.
