    ...but Coucho pulled me out of it. He owns my first post. :slight_smile:

    Eh, I'm pretty bad at introductions...

    I'm a girl and I'm pretty sure I'm lesbian (maybe bi). I'm still figuring myself out.
    I love computers and I am a geek (proud of it too).
    I have an obsession with writing (especially fanfiction) and drawing. Lately, I seem to have an obsession with drawing eyes in charcoal and chalk.
    I'm really into biology (anybody else here like The Hot Zone by Richard Preston?)
    I read all the time. My favorite authors are Scott Westerfeld, Richard Preston, and Brent Hartinger.
    I like pie.
    Music plays in my room nonstop. I like gothic rock, some metal (but not most of it), classical rock, 60's music, underground Dutch rock bands, Norwegian Pop, Swedish Pop, classical music, and techno (trance and some club). If you have any recommendations on good bands or want recommendations, I would happily oblige.
    I get along with anybody that can handle a good debate or that likes to laugh. Humor is essential to help me get through the day. I've got a slightly dark sense of humor sometimes, and I say the oddest things at the oddest times, so be prepared. :slight_smile:

    I think I talk way too much. I should probably shut up now.

    Peace!

    Hey Alabastair - even if you have chipped in to the Video discussion already - it's nice to be able to give you a formal welcome.

    Well - now you've stopped lurking you can start having fun! :icon_bigg

    Welcome to EC, Alabastair! I know what you mean about drawing eyes. I'm obsessed with them myself. They're just so expressive! Anyway... welcome. (*hug*)

    I also love computers and am a computer geek; I also love to write; I also have music playing constantly (even if it is different music).

    You guys are really nice. Thanks for the welcome. :slight_smile:

    Eyes are so much fun to draw. Its hard to make them realistic, sicne there are so many layers of colors. Do you prefer drawing realistic eyes or super colorful eyes, Astaroth?

    Tiesto (techno trance)
    John Dahlbäck (techno electron-dance)
    Heimataerde (dark techno/darkwave)
    Bleeding Nature (dark techno/dark wave)
    Tactical Sekt (dark techno/dark wave)
    and of course the stereotypical DJ Sammy Heaven (techno dance/club) and Darude (techno dance/club)

    What about you?

    Hi :slight_smile: We've talked in the chatroom but thought I'd post here so welcome :grin:

    On the music side of things, are you into Celine Dion? She's my fave singer ever.
