Hey there everybody; looks like we have a forum in its infancy; tech support Issues are being hacked out; a fuzzy common purpose is coming into view. Now; since this forum doesn't appear to be locked to outsiders; I shant give out my actual name at this pont. I call myself Brobdingnag-Kaplunk. 'Brobdingnag' Is from 'Gulliver's travels' which is a book on tape I used to listen to all the time as a littl'un. It means 'Land of the Giants', it is a place where everything and everyone is huge. 'Kaplunk' Is the noise I make when I am pretending to use a rivet gun. I am fixing an invisible aeroplane; or so I'd like to think. In short; these are words that please me this week. I take a class with Heywire. I can't shut up; really, it's hard. So, would anyone else like to intruduce themselves? explain thier name? say Hello? |

Firstly, you are wrong. you have 2 classes with me. I do offline comms with you. Anyway, I'm Heywire as I imagine all of you would know. I'm not sure there's much any of you need to know about me that you wouldn't already. |

This is me posting. w00t! My screen name is _plethora_, but I go by the name Narcoleptic Insomniac. My real name is rarely found on teh intartubez. Plethora is a word I love because it means an over-abundance, which I feel describes me quite well. I can be a little bit overwhelming at times; I'm best in small doses. Narcoleptic Insomniac is because the contradiction-in-terms appeals to me, that's all. I have a friend called Ambrosial Quicksilver. This forum was pimped to me by... someone... on LiveJournal maybe? Probably, that's where I hang out the most. I loves me some LJ. More about me? I've an obsessive personality, so I get really passionate about stuff, be it my favourite book/movie/band/song, or some cause or other. That's one of the reasons I'm best in small doses, most people can't deal with my one-track mind. |

For the moment, you may call me Sigma. It isn't likely to last. Despite the purpose of this forum, I wasn't called from the void, but rather, Heywire showed me his stack of sentimental quotes when I really should have been studying. I found the concept intriguing, and so here I am. That should be enough for those who know me to deduce who I am. That's all from me for now. Back to the wonderful world of euclidian geometry and vector proofs. |

I am exAequora which people who know me will most probably know who i am, the name is latin, and means something along the lines of 'from the water or sea' and there's something in there relating to jellyfishes yeah anonymity is good, especially with the nature of this forum |

Ex aequora is made of 'out from' and 'pertaining to the sea'. For all intents and purposes, yes, it is 'from the sea'. Aequora is a genus of jellyfish, and yes, they are from the sea. Don't you just love the creativity of marine biologists? Vreemdst. Vreemd is Dutch for weird or foreign (so, "outlandish" in all of its slightly archaic English connotations). Vreemdst is the superlative of that, making me the most weird or most foreign. This is accurate, as I have nothing to do with the Netherlands, do not speak Dutch, and get funny looks all the time. I'm staying anonymous. |

Well, considering I've never heard of Pamplemousse or NiH and I am absolutely certain that none of my RL friends have heard of this place, I will ahve to assume it came from LJ. -Edit- It was in fact longlongwaytogo.

my username, literally translated means: teenage boy (if you've read clockwork orange you would probably know that). not very exciting i know but it is quite appropriate considering that's what i am. you can just call me nadsat or nad or malchick or mal or even chick if you want... take your pick. i have no problem with giving out my real name (i think it's mentioned in another post somewhere) but the concept of a pseudonym is entertaining so i will refrain from divulging such information as to promote the use of nadsat malchick. |

Haha, there's nothing wrong with a good gonads joke every now and then
I'm interested to know more about everyone, other than just where the pseudonyms come from. I've looked at a few profiles, and I've noticed that people are from Adelaide, which is awesome. Also, the people with their birthdays listed are all about the same age as me, which I love, cause I'm so used to being the youngest person on all my favourite websites. I'm sure at least some of you are familiar with that feeling too. Ok, so I'm a girl in year 12. I board, which is the biggest thing in my life, and the source of all my anecdotes, especially since I have spent my formative teenage years here. I've been at boarding school since year 8 and I'm originally from NSW Come on, people, you can keep it vague if you want, but let's hear some trivia. I like to know little bits of random about the people I'm talking to. |

I'm a 17 year old boy in year 12 at Glenunga International High School. I have two houses because my parents are divorced and I switch houses once a week on fridays. This does become annoying sometimes when I leave things at one house like clothes and phone chargers... I enjoy music a lot (who doesn't). Although I heard recently that some people out there actually don't listen to music! This really threw me. I'm really into indie-rock but I will listen to pretty much anything, I like the experimental stuff, the electronic, the classical, the hardcore, the industrial, the doom metal. It's all good! =] If I could describe my life in three words they would be: Music. Internet. Food. Friends. |

I was at Glenunga last night. For debating. It's a not a bad place.
That's four I have to agree, though. I couldn't survive without music. I'm one of those people who is always singing under her breath, because there is always a song in my head.

oh snap! I, like many of us here, am a 17 year old guy in year 12 at Glenunga International. life without music is almost not worth living. I really love indie, alternative, rock and any combination of those. I love songs with good lyrics, and I still buy CDs. I wish I could give up the internet (and yet I'm the admin here), but I can't. |

You guys should really just go make introduction threads. Or do both. heh. Um, well... I picked my username by going to a random word generator and clicking until there was one that was good. This one just happened to fit in with the idea of 'watching to see what notes people find'. So I picked that one! |

Well, this is a sort of condensed introduction thread. I am not defined by my age or my workplace or school or whatever; Though I guess that'd be a handy guide to where I come from and what I'm like. But no cigar! You can probably work it out anyway. I'm listening to the Radio right now, actually. I have a 70's vintage tuner. I love to explore the AM band; with weird plays on Radio national and Cruise 13-23 etc. But the computer interferes with the AM band; I found an FM station that is just playing Jazz forever and ever. It's lovely to meet you all.
