Greetings

[Raleigh]

Thank you. *Eats one of the wontons and looks at the ostritch plushy.* I will put you with my Vivi and Prinny plushies. Maybe later you three can plot global dominance.

Hajimemashite. Welcome to MSF. Remeber, it doesn't have to make sense. It's anime.

[Chris Thorn]

Welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay here

[Raleigh]

I believe I will enjoy it. Yeah nonsense is fine with me, I think I got used to it after accidentally reading Alice in Wonderland.

[Mistress Guendolen]

How can you accidentally read an entire book?... I can understand accidentally procuring a copy, accidentally starting to read it, in either case picking up that one when you meant to pick up something else. But isn't it typically obvious once you get into the subject matter that you're not reading what you meant to read?... I mean, Alice is a pretty singular story, so it's not really a case of "I thought I was reading this generic adventure tale when really it was that one which is similar in enough areas that I didn't make the connection right away...." I'm curious about this came to pass.

[Raleigh]

Alright, allow me to rephrase the statement. Ever since I picked it up and started to read by accident, and finished it because I have a policy about finishing books, I have been used to nonesense. Wee.. I think that was a run-on sentance. Oh well.

[Mistress Guendolen]

Okay, thank you much for the clarification. Excuse me for asking- I was an English major, I like specifics in language.... And I'm actually pretty used to run-on sentences. You'd be amazed the number of them that appear on even simple letters released from a law office (where I currently work as the proofreader). One of my difficulties in my job is, admittedly, not giving in to the urge to break them up, though.

[Raleigh]

Sadly I understand what you mean. I used to help a nearby college with some of the computers and was amazed at how bad the grammer was in their interoffice communications, especially that from grammer teachers. Don't mind clarifying, I will admit I have been out of the habit of typing correct grammer due to disuse. Amazing at what not being on the net in any real capacity for 3 years will do to your typing and grammatical skills. Thank heavens for grammer and spell check.

[Mistress Guendolen]

That doesn't amaze me at all, though it should. People seem to think the internet is an excuse for being totally careless with language. And that's not even taking into account the people who deliberately use them to try to look "cool".... **shudder** It amazes ME the poor grammar and punctuation- mainly punctuation- that even these legal secretaries use. They don't seem to know when and where to use commas or sentence breaks, and as as for the poor neglected semicolon- it seems like NOBODY understands when you need to use one of those, these days! But I'll shut up before I head off on a rant about the illteracy- or at least poor writing skills- of our country today.

[Raleigh]

Well I will admit I need work on mine, so let me know if you catch me messing up too badly. Like I am sure I just did in that previous sentance. Trying to write a novel with my bad grammer is a real killer on any sale points so help is appreciated.

[Mistress Guendolen]

Well, I try not to call people's grammar and what not in forum and other casual situations. Makes me come across as a royal little snot, you know? But if you want feedback, I will provide. It sometimes is hard to rein in my inner editor.

[Cow Belle]

Welcome to the crazys that is MSF. I see that Guendolen beat me to the cookie punch. So .... I'll give you the next best thing.

*Gives Raleigh an any flavor muffin*

[Raleigh]

Ooh thank you very much. *Eats the muffin.* Ahh always good to have a muffin.

[Amy-chan]

I bid you welcome, even if I am a bit late in doing so. myaa

*hugs*

[Raleigh]

*Accepts the hug.* Heh sorry about that. I was very busy recently so that is why I haven't been on in a while. Um.. did I miss anything?
