Stephanie
Well-known member
Charlotte from Charlotte's Web first greeted Wilbur the pig with Salutations and he promptly responded, "Salu-what?"
Ever since then, I've loved the word Salutations and it seemed like a good idea to post that as part of an introduction thread. So, the first thing you all get to know about me is my avid love of the English language (and Latin too since Latin is the root of the Romance languages) and my love of cartoons, preferably the older ones. Some of the newer ones just lack that certain something that the old ones had though I do like some of the newer ones. I may discuss that in more depth in a different thread.
So, I call myself Stephanie but no, that's not my real name. And the woman in my avatar is not me. The avatar pic is Masha Scream, the vocalist for a Russian folk metal band called Arkona whose music can cause spontaneous audiorgasms (yes, I just made that word up). I tend to make user names of names that I love and Stephanie is one of the names I've always loved, which is why I chose it as a user name. I chose Masha as an avatar because I am in love with her voice: she can sing amazingly well and still do death metal growls almost better than most of the men in metal and blends them well.
I love metal music of all kinds: heavy, death, black, folk and some thrash. Music is very important to me and I sometimes like to relay song lyrics when they seem apropos. And before anyone pitches a fit over my love of black metal, no, I'm not a satanist so don't run screaming on me, okay?
I was doing some research on loneliness, both the positive and negative aspects of it. I found this forum in the process and at first was put off because it seemed to me that a lot of the posts made here are people just looking for pity and found some of the posts rather annoying in that regard. I admit that I nearly registered yesterday for the sole purpose of trolling the crap out of the pity party people, but trolling isn't really my style so I read around a little more and found quite a few posts where people weren't looking for pity and changed my mind.
I am honest, probably to a fault at times, and I expect honesty from others. I tend to be pretty unforgiving if one lies to me. My motto pretty much is that I can handle anything just so long as it's real. I can deal with reality. I can't deal with a lie because it's not...well, real.
Okay, I've rambled on in this intro post long enough so I will shut up now. If you've read this entire post, have a cookie. If not, then no cookies for joooo! I guess that's another thing: I really love cookies!
