Hi.

This would be a great way for y'all to introduce yourselves. Be as personal or silly as you care to, or both.

HI new peeps.

I would give and arm and a leg to eat gomichild's baking/cooking. I swear I gain weight looking at her photos. Okay, maybe not. But I definitely salivate!

that means you *lose* weight, typewriter! Thus, gomi's photos are a diet aid. QED.

Ha!

Grmbl, I'm dismayed that I can't welcome ijsbrand with a proper capitalised ligature IJ, since metachat is in ISO 8859 and not in UTF-8.
Anyhow, welkom IJsbrand.

Exploding Dog has a great idea. Perhaps we can all meet outside! I'm sure the truck can do non-booze drinks too!

Rhubarbaras, all around!

Aloha!
1. I'm moving to the Netherlands at the end of the summer and it will be the first time that I live outside of the Eastern Time Zone.
2. My username was given to me from users of an IRC channel I frequented in the late 90s. The name has stuck as a userid for much of the web & also has become what some people call me in real life.
3. I sometimes housesit a Bernese mountain dog and a cat who once caused me to lock myself in a bathroom in defense from her teeth & claws. Not my proudest moment.
4. I have recently become friends with a lot of people in my town through the intersection of craft beer and Twitter.
5. I'm surprised I haven't given myself food poisoning in the past 6 years of cooking for myself.
6. My work often involves sitting in an underground lab for 8 hours or so. There's no cell service here, but there's wireless internet.
7. My transmission once burned out in Pennsylvania. The Firestone I took it to suggested that I subsequently have it towed to a particular transmission shop. Another customer noted that I could not do that, because that shop was under two feet of water.
8. The only time that I play video games is with a subset of my college friends.
9. I wish I knew more math.
10. I like to make macaroni and cheese from scratch once a week.

Hai!

Hallo Knile. I'm sure you'll like it here (metachat) and here (netherlands).
It's only 6 hours earlier in NL. That's not so bad.

Hello hello!

10. I have a club thumb.
9. My mother was convinced that this was due to my incessant thumb-sucking as a toddler. It wasn't until I noticed Megan Fox had a club thumb that I realized that maybe it wasn't my fault. My mother is still a little skeptical about it being genetic.
8. Solidly on Team Cilantro.
7. Um. I recently turned into a huge hockey fan, which is weird to me because like many good nerds growing up I hated anything to do with team sports.
6. I have three dwarf hamsters. They are cute and tremble when I hold them so I don't pick them up often.
5. My first name is rare enough that I'm part of a Facebook group called "I'm the only ___ there is". I think there are 300 of us now.
4. In college I was really into music and indie comics/graphic novels. I'm now only moderately interested in both. Which is sad, I guess.
3. I'm on a quest to make perfect crispy-outside, soft inside muffins. My temperamental oven keeps fighting me on this one. Bittman's recipe has been the best one so far...
2. I like my coffee black and my tea loaded with cream and sugar. My tea snob (will only drink the finest tea from Taiwan!) dad is disappointed. Incidentally he will only drink coffee if it is loaded with cream and sugar.
1. I want to keep bees when I retire.
