A Lackluster Introduction

Discussion in 'The Welcome Lounge' started by HelloMyNameIs, Nov 23, 2012.

  1. Hello, I'm new here, obviously, and I thought it would be appropriate to introduce myself, but I'm really bad at knowing what to say in these things. I guess I'll start with the reason I'm here: I recently came to terms with the fact that I am gay, but I am struggling with it. I'm in this awkward place where I want to and don't want to come out. I don't have people in real life I can talk to, which I've recently realised I need. Thus, here I am.

    On an unrelated note, I'm really into science and learning languages, even dead ones. I'm also involved in martial arts and have a love for swords, which I have recently started to collect, and I am a huge fan of scifi and fantasy.

    Anyway, you guys seem like a really nice group of people so far, and I'm glad I've joined.

    Only the cool kids know that old, dead languages are the best ones. I study them all the time for my writing. Love fantasy too ^-^.


    Welcome to EC (^_^)^!
     
  3. I'm glad to know that I qualify as a "cool kid."

    Nice to meet you.

    Hi!
    Science and technology, sci-fi, and martial arts (because it has to do with Asian culture), have all been a huge part of my life since as long as I can remember!
    I think we'll get along famously ^_^

    Hey, welcome to EC! I'm pretty sure you'll like it here.

    P.S. The first paragraph of your first post seems strangely familiar :icon_wink
