Welcome to the Black Tower Oddpositions

[Illian Tear]

Welcome to the Black Tower.

 

Here are your brownies. While you're eating these...um... delicious brownies tell us a little about yourself.

[Oddpositions]

Huzzah! 

 

As I've said elsewhere, I am a longtime lurker of the General Discussion parts of the Forum and I've been RPing here for the last few weeks as well. Figured it was time I joined the rest of you here!

 

I'm from Chicago, IL, currently out in the suburbs. Finished WoT a year or two ago, took a detour to the Cosmere and gobbled up all those books. Now I'm back in Randland doing my first re-read. Just started Shadow Rising today :D My favorite Asha'man is Androl (duh.) and I would eat my left shoe to get more Black Tower scenes in the series 

 

The voices tell me you all like food here. I'm currently in school to become a baker. Besides brownies, does anyone here have a favorite sweet? I've been trying to perfect my caramel recipe lately, but the stuff is tricky...

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain]

Welcome to the Black Tower. Hope you will enjoy it here with us. Oh yes, we like brownies, and other tasty treats.

 

My favorite desert, besides brownies, would have to be pecan pie. Mmmmm, you mentioned caramel. That sounds very tasty.

 

I'm currently in Book Nine, first time through. Looking forward to when I can do a re-read and find details I missed the first time through.

 

Good luck with school. So, besides baking and reading, what other interests do you have?

[Oddpositions]

Oh I make a mean pecan pie, usually for Thanksgiving. Although I have relied on store-bought caramel sauce to top it... I have a particular weakness for a nice chocolate cookie. One that is not too soft or too crunchy.

 

Other interests are broad. I love video games. Grew up on Snes, Genesis, N64, PSONE, etc etc. I have graduated to PC gaming, however. I like a lot of RPGs, Citybuilders, Sandbox, Action, Simulation, etc. Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, etc. are among my favorites 

 

Music taste is broad as well. Everything from Broadway to Rock. I've been feeling Lord Huron, Arctic Monkeys, and The Last Shadow Puppets lately. British music is a weakness of mine, as is J-pop and J-rock. Been getting into K-pop too. I've been seeing it crop up more in mainstream American culture, so that's been a little surprising.

 

My fiance collects action figures and is a big fan of Marvel/DC and Star Wars, so I am too (whether I like it or not haha.) I used to be big into Anime when I was a kid, but I've fallen out of it. Still a huge Sailor Moon fan tho 

[Niniel]

Welcome to the BT. Your voices seem very sane. :D

 

More brownies! 

[Oddpositions]

Thanks so much @Niniel you haven't seen the voices on a bad day bahahahahahahahaha 

[Illian Tear]

Hey, be lucky you don't have to deal with my voices. If you can call them that.....

 

"The screams, the terrible screams!"

[Oddpositions]

"I wouldn't mind having you in my head... if you weren't so mad!"

[Illian Tear]

Um... is that quoting something?

Um, yes.

 

It's this thing called the Wheel of Time. 

 

Welcome, Odd one! 

 

Methinks we need more brownies!

 

(and let's just be crazy here and combine it with one of my personal favorite treats... blueberry cheesecake)

[Illian Tear]

Oh... wait I'm dumb....

 

*goes to hide in the corner in shame*

[Oddpositions]

Bahahahaha! I probably misquoted it, but you get the idea. That crazy ole' Lews Therin

[Oddpositions]

And thank you so much @Songstress ! Too happy to be here :D

[Illian Tear]

Idk my cards against humanity quote is pretty good.

[Leyrann]

Welcome Oddpositions!

 

...If you're still around after that site blackout.  

[Illian Tear]

I'm pretty sure he's here somewhere.

[Oddpositions]

Right here!  And thank you very much. Brownies. Brownies all around.

 

[Talmanes]

Welcome! I'm a little late, hope that doesn't out me in an...odd position...lmao couldn't resist.

 

For me, though I know it's heresy, not big on the sweets. Have a weakness for about anything lemon though (and do of course enjoy the good ol' Black Tower Tainted Brownies)

[Oddpositions]

Thank you very much, Talmanes! I appreciate the Dad humor. 

 

In that case, can I assume you love lemon flavored baked goods? I'm a big fan of lemon bars, myself. I think heresy can be forgiven, so long as you love some type of confectionary or another.

[Talmanes]

Oh yes any lemon desert, baked good, candy, etc. Love me some lemon bars, lemon meringue pie, lemon poppyseed muffins, list could go on all day lol.

[Leyrann]

Heh.

 

Talm's old enough for dad humor guys.

[Talmanes]

I mean I feel like a grumpy old man, not going to be there physically for a good while, but I'm there mentally lol

[Oddpositions]

Everyone can enjoy Dad jokes. As long as none of you are secretly 13 years old.

[Talmanes]

I mean I think 13 is the age you have to be to join, so it could be possible. We had some younguns around back in the day I know, not sure about now.

 

Then again I was pretty young when I was the leader here so there's that too lol.

[Leyrann]

I was 14 when I joined. That's 8 years ago next month...
