Long time reader, new member

[Krakalakachkn]

Hello all,

 

I live in Georgia, US.  I've been a long time fan of the site, but I've just now decided to jump into the foam pit of forums.  I hope to spend some quality time talking to people, learning more about WOT, meeting people, and generally having a great time with other WOT fans.  I'm currently in my freshman year of college, but I started reading the books in MIddle School and they've seen thorough re-readings throughout the years.  I've come to cherish WOT as the best fantasy series in the world.  An extremely close second though is David Eddings' Belgariad series.  I'm a huge book lover, and a huge movie lover, and I consider myself somewhat of an amateur expert on the latter.  So if anyone wants to get into a discussion on books, or movies, I would love for you to PM me or reply to my forum posts.  In addition to movies and books, I'm a huge lover of comics, and not the batman variety.  I consider Calvin & Hobbes the best comic strip ever created, followed by Get Fuzzy, Rhymes With Orange, Peanuts, and Pearls Before Swine.  I consider Bill Waterson, Steven Spielberg, Beethoven, and Mozart to be geniuses in their respective fields...and I consider very few people geniuses.

 

A little about me:

 

My favorite movies include Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Master and Commander, V for Vendetta, and Kingdom of Heaven.  I love all sorts of movies from classics to newer ones.  I have a rotten tomatoes account, Carter R., so feel free to friend me there.

 

My favorite books include Siddhartha, Narcissus and Goldmund, Steppenwolf, WOT, LOTR, basically anything by Herman Hesse, J.R.R. Tolkien, or C.S. Lewis

 

I love Billy Joel, most classical music including Mozart, Ludwig Van, and Debussy, Modest Mouse, Band of Horses, Celtic Woman, Enya, and I love movie scores.  My favorite current composers are Howard Shore, John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson-Williams, and James Newton Howard.  I also enjoy Yo-Yo Ma, Chris Thile, and Edgar Meyer.

 

Well, thats me.  I'm a diverse person and I hope I have a great time in the forums.

Okay, I burst out in laughter just trying to read your name!!!

I'll just call you Krak. *rotfl* like that's any better right?

 

Welcome to the fold, everyone here is a friendly but don't take their bribes. Unless it from me.

 

I love some of the movies you listed. *G*

 

Celtic Women... *swoons*

 

I have the entire LoTR Tril, movie scores I play usually while I am doing art. *G*

[Toy and Minion]

Welcome, Krakaluchin-thingy-o!

 

Dive head first into the ball-room, eh?  My kind of Kraken (can I call you Kraken?)

 

Anyways, here's what you need to know:  Bribes taste like jelly, Cleo's only art is in the con department (;)), and Fiddlesticks is the GREATEST FORUM ON THE SITE!  We don't have ORG status...yet...but that's okay.  We're more than an ORG anyways (but don't tell them, it'll hurt they're feelings).

 

So, that all said, Welcome to Dragonmount, Kraig, and have fun!

[Krakalakachkn]

So...not sure what bribes are or what ORG status is.  Anyone feel like filling me in?  I also like how you go from Kraken to Kraig.  Call me whatever.  Thanks for the hello

Welcome to Dragonmount! I'm sure you will love it here.

[Winterwinds]

I have no idea how I got here so late, normaly I am one of the first to say hi xD

 

Anyway welcome, I think you will fit right in around here :) WE have an org dedicated to movies (The Seachan I think) and I am rather surprised that I got here before the org leader xD

 

Oh, and LOTR does rock, but WoT is better :P

 

Again welcome, and have fun storming the mount!

[Cleopatra Narisse]

[JenniferL]

What part of Georgia? I'm in north Metro.

[Raeyn]

 

Welcome to our madhouse.  Explore it well, and I'm sure you'll find just the niche for you.  I see Winterwinds has already started making recommendations, so yay!

[Winterwinds]

Hey, I am a sheepdog :P I have to herd the newbies somewhere don't I?

[Raeyn]

 

Well, I was going to comment that I was going to give you a nice bone to gnaw on, but I didn't know how apropos that would've been. <__<

[Krakalakachkn]

What part of Georgia? I'm in north Metro.

 

 

 

I'm from Marietta, it's about 20 minutes north of Atlanta

[JenniferL]

Oooh. We're practically neighbors. I'm in Roswell.

 

Soooo...You'll be attending JordanCon then?  ;D

[Krakalakachkn]

I'm not sure...I don't know anyone going

[Cleopatra Narisse]

Well now that you are here... you'll get to know a few DMers if you do go. *nods*

 

YOu can go in my stead. K?

[JenniferL]

I'm not sure...I don't know anyone going

 

You know me. And that's all you need to know. I'll be the tiny hysterical woman vomiting in the bathroom. Not to be confused with the very tall, hysterical woman vomiting in the bathroom. That's Muirenn. She's the Director of Programming. I don't know if anyone else is planning to vomit, but we'll need someone to hold our hair. That's where you come in.

 

 

Isn't my sales pitch smooth?

[Krakalakachkn]

really, really smooth

[Terrapin]

I don't understand why everyone is having problems with his name.  It's like Crackalacken.

 

But with chicken.

 

*nods*

 

Welcome!  With your music interests, you'll definitely want to check out the Band of the Red Hand boards, too.

[Krakalakachkn]

Nice, I'm glad someone understood it.
