CaptainPea, the comics seem really cool. :) Thank you for sending me some. lol

Thank you, Daggy.

Sleet, I laughed a little when I read your welcome post. XDD Thank you, and I hope I do too. :) Also, that explains why I was so confused. I have never played WoW.

Beagle, there you are. Thanks for posting that by the way.

Yea, my friend is Beagle, ChewyChewy. By the way, thanks for your long post in response. It makes me feel a lot better. XD The Legend of Zelda is GREAT! :) This is one of the "toned down" screamo songs.

Haha, it's fun to laugh at the bad scary movies though. ;) Good scary movies make it worthwhile though. I really sound like you? What do you like now? Maybe that'll be me in a few years. :)

Yehoshua, you can call me whatever you want (I have a ton of nicknames), and thanks. :D

Hello, my name is Reima and I stumbled onto this site after a friend of mine tricked me into losing the game with this strip: https://www.housepetscomic.com/2008/06/ ... just-lost/

I thought it looked cute, so I went on to read the archives and found that I really liked the comic, so I decided to join the forums. :P

I've already left a few comments here and there, and the people here seem pretty nice. I'll probably be hanging around for awhile.

Hope you read Grape's dialogue in that arc, because she's 100% right.

Otherwise, welcome, Reima! :D Enjoy the forums and make friends, and leave some of the happiness you bring!

(And that friend wasn't The Game, was it?)

No, it wasn't The Game that made me lose the game. :)
But I did read Grape's opinions on the game. My friend also tries to chase me up a tree when I tell him I'm not playing. I just got used to it and created a parallel game that I win whenever I lose the first game. It annoys him, because he doesn't know the second game is going on. :twisted:

Also, thank you for the welcome!

welcome and enjoy your stay. also, you should make a third game so that when you lose the first, you win two games and come out ahead instead of breaking even.

Re: The Welcome Thread!

Post by KJOokami »

Probably should've posted here first, but meh. Guess it's too late for that now.

Anywho, I'm KJOokami, though you can call me Kyle if you'd prefer. If you've already seen some of my posts in the Comic section of the board, you'll know that I tend to be... argumentative, at times. Apologies in advance for that. >.>

As for a short 'About Me': I'm 19 years old, and I am a connoisseur of music. There's very little in the way of music that I downright dislike, the one exception being Screamo. Hate hate hate; can't stand it. To me, screaming is and always will be a complimentary sound in music, not a primary. I can deal with heavy rock songs with screaming in them (Linkin Park's older stuff, RED, Breaking Benjamin, etc), but straight Screamo just makes me cringe. As for favorites, I'm a very big fan of Trance and Trance-like tunes, preferably without lyrics. I like music I can dance to if I'm in the mood, but that's still detached enough (meaning, for me as a singer, without lyrics) that I can just listen to it in the background while I do other things. Because I love to sing, playing songs with lyrics is just too much of a distraction for me to do anything else! XD

I'm also a big fan of video games. I used to be a big WoW player (I was never amazing at much of anything but leveling really fast, but it's still my favorite game I've ever played), and I've played pretty darn close to every Pokemon game they've ever made. I'd like to get an Xbox, mostly so I can play Fable 2 (and possibly 3, but I've heard it wasn't nearly as good as the 2nd), but I'd also like to get better at games like Halo and CoD, which I can't do without the ability to play more than once every now and then.

Okay, so this isn't really 'short'... but that's what happens when I make posts in "Welcome" threads. Either I say, "Hi." and leave it at that, or I ramble on so long that no one cares enough to read the whole thing. Lol.

So, like I said initially, I can be argumentative, but I'm really a pretty laid-back type 'a guy. It's harder to tell online, but in real life I actually don't talk all that much at all. I mostly chill in the backseat and listen in on others' conversations, adding bits where I feel necessary. I'm also a bit of jerk to my friends. Actually... I'm quite a big jerk to my friends. Not the 'bully who picks on unpopular kids and treats girls like objects' type of jerk, but more of a... playful type of jerk? I don't really know how to describe it, but I always ask my friends why they even like me, and the usual response is just that I'm fun to be around. I guess that's good?

Ugh, rambling again. Okay, tl;dr - I'm 19, I love music, I love games, I sing, I act, I love to sleep, I love to eat, I make children cry (wait, what?), I hate kids (no really), I eat babies (okay, seriously, who wrote that?), and if I'm a jerk to you it's probably because I like you.

/end ramble

Oh. Em. Gee. Now it all makes sense! For years I have felt incomplete, as if a part of my very soul were being kept somewhere else! And now that I've finally found you, after all these years, I just want to say... I'm the evil one. MUAHAHAHAHA.

Err.. whoops. I always seem to forget the fact that ever forum has a gigantic "welcome to the forum!" thread, or board.

Anyways, I'm one of the bajillion Kuro's that exist on the internet. Only I'm the most awesome. :3

By the way, I'm absolutely terribly at introducing myself. But let's give it a try, shall we?

My friend introduced me to this comic a few weeks ago. I hadn't read it until yesterday in the middle of the night. That would have to be my first time I read through every page of a web-comic in one sitting.
Well worth it.

I'm seventeen years old, and live in the U.S.
I'm a senior in high school, starting in August.

I'm a huge Rise Against and Gorillaz fan, and absolutely despise anything rap or screamy. I'm looking at you, screamo.

And.. now I've run out of things to talk about, I think. Like I said, not good at introductions. >:

Message me if you want to get to know me. :3
That's always my favorite way to get to know others.

And because others like to mention it: yes. I'm a furry.
