Default Ciao, everyone.

'Ello, I'm b0i70y. I found this site by accident and was immediately grabbed by it. I'm not really a member of many forums, but the only ones I truly enjoy are the LGBTQ oriented ones.

Not to mention the fact that I'm frustrated with my own confusing sexuality - it would be nice to have some more people to talk to who can understand that.

Anyway, I was never very good at these whole introduction things... *shrug*

Thanks.

Default Re: Ciao, everyone.

o.o I got offline for a few hours and boom everyone's responded.

Lemme see if I can get all of you in without a quote. *deep breath*

thecat06 - Thank-you! Your avatar made me giggle.

Bedroom Hymns - Mi dispiace, mi amico, I'm not from Italy. Though... my full name is Italian, and I speak just a tiny, tiny bit.

Sunsetting - Thank-you! I'm glad you think so, but I still don't know.

hml8 - Why thank-you! I hope so, too. I'll just be happy for some internet buds, at least.

alex2020 - um... merci beaucoup, mon ami. I regret, I speak much less French than I do Italian! But, in all fairness, I'm lovin' the avatar. I'm a bit of a Star Wars geek.

mAOz - Thank-you! I love your signature.

Nazo - Thanks!

Gerry - Thanks! I hope so. I love your Avatar by the way. Bid Final Fantasy fan here.

Artemicion - Thank-you! I'm sorry, but your signature makes me want to ask this... is it weird that whenever I see the nyan cat, I want a poptart?

Z3ni - Ciao does indeed mean bye! But all of my Italian friends also use it as hello. I guess it's kind of like Aloha, and/or bisexuals. It goes both ways.

duriru - Gracias! Lo ciento - hablo espanol un muy poquito. But thank-you, all the same.

dairyuu - sorry, I missed you there for a second. Thank-you very much! Only... recognize... three of those languages... apart from English... heh.

*whew* I got through all of you.

Seriously, though, thanks guys. I've never had such a warm welcome. I look forward to getting to know you all.

BroadwayDreamer - I already do, believe me.

Doctor Faustus - Why thank you. Just being here, surrounded by intelligent, similarly inclined people, is all I need for now.
