Introduce Yourselves!

[Tally M.]

I went to that one crepe place in Provo that stays open late and has the owl in front. I thought of you, Owlet.

[Squirrel]

Hello there--I’m Owlet, and I’ve been peeking in here but didn’t want to make an account until I was officially a writer. And, um, now I’m here! I like reading, and learning, and the Board, and spicy food. I recently attempted mountain biking and failed. I’m insecure about my ‘nym. I can solve a Rubik’s cube in less than two minutes. Spiders scare me.

Well, that’s all the important stuff, isn’t it?

GUYS! GUYS! WE GOT OWLET! WOOHOO! YEAH! I was wondering when you were going to join! This is awesome! Welcome aboard, Owlet! ( did you notice my pun there? Tehehe)
Oh- and I really like not being the only woodland creature. I'm glad you're Owlet- but not just for selfish reasons!

[C is for]

Welcome, Owlet! Feel free to join in any discussion you have previously lurked in.

[Whistler]

yes welcome! we are so friendly most of the time

[Katya]

Welcome!

[Owlet]

Thanks, everyone--I couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome!

[S.A.M.]

Thanks, everyone--I couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome!

You could have, but you wouldn't have gotten it. Ha!

[Owlet]

Ah, true, I should've thought that through. I think what I meant was: "Thanks, everyone--I didn't think anyone would notice!" Haha you guys are great.

[Tally M.]

Not notice? C'mon, most of these people are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet (shout out to Katya! She's awesome.) and besides, you're a brand new official writer. Which is really pretty awesome. Of course we'll notice

[Squirrel]

yeah-- what Tally said. *group hug!*

[Tally M.]

Squirrel is super nice and awesome too.

[Portia]

Did you read about the Owlet monitoring bootie for high-risk babies in BYU Magazine? Are you behind the Owlet bootie??

[Squirrel]

Squirrel is super nice and awesome too.

Aww, Tally. Thanks <3

Everyone knows that Tally is the most welcoming and quickest to find the good in others.

nice battle= WON! mwa ha ha ha ha

[Emiliana]

I feel like there is a particularly fun, welcoming group of active people on the boardboard right now. Glad you're joining us, Owlet.

*group hug!*

[Owlet]

Did you read about the Owlet monitoring bootie for high-risk babies in BYU Magazine? Are you behind the Owlet bootie??

I'm not associated with it, but I've read about it a little, and it is kind of the reason for my 'nym. I was having the HARDEST time choosing one, and I eventually had to throw my hands in the air and choose the next halfway decent word I came across. The next morning on my way to class I saw a poster for those baby bootie things and I was like "Owlet. That sounds nice." As soon as I got home I created my account, and yeah. Hence the 'nym insecurity, because I hardly ever do spontaneous things and I worry if it was the right choice.

Clearly I have issues.

Anyway, thanks again. Hooray for nice people! It's probably going to take me a while to actually contribute since I don't have a lot of experience with forums and I have this vision that it's all flame wars and heated discussions. I know you guys are nice but I'm just shy, even online.

[SmurfBlueSnuggie]

Hi. I'm Smurf Blue Snuggie. And I've known about the Board Board for a while, but didn't really think I wanted an account. Just sort of ignored it. And then recently I've been hearing more about it and finally caved. So here I am.

I love reading, especially Sci-fi and Fantasy. My favorite book in the world is Lord of the Rings. I graduated BYU a year ago, but I'm still struggling to find a job. I want a job for two main reasons: to move out on my own again and to save money to move to New Zealand. I've got a plan to spend a year there. It's pretty much my major life goal right now.

My 'nym was chosen as a joke and then I really liked it. My roommate at the time when I first discovered the Board was given a snuggie as a gag gift from her mom. And it happens to be the exact color of a smurf. And we were talking about it and taking funny photos while wearing it when I was asking a question. And now I'm named after a blanket.

I dunno what else to say. Except I sort of wish I'd noticed this thread before I started posting elsewhere. But that's me, doing everything out of order. :p

[Katya]

Welcome SBS! My old roommate went to New Zealand a few years ago and she loved it, so I hope you get to go soon. (That was the summer that she also went to Japan and Korea. It was kind of a crazy summer.)

What did you study at BYU?

[SmurfBlueSnuggie]

Wow. She packed her summer, no kidding. I thought a summer would be good enough, but I'm really not sure anymore. Hence the plan for a full year.

I studied Business Management, entrepreneurship. Loved so much! Great program with great professors and classes.

[robotfish]

I've actually been around for a month or so, but I was a bit reluctant to start a conversation, so:
Hi! I'm robotfish! I like reading, hiking, and naps. I hate bananas. My dream pet would be a really friendly, cuddly, non-vicious tiger.
That's about it.

[Giovanni Schwartz]

Hi! Welcome!

I petted a tiger once. It was VERY soft.



My hand is the one wearing the watch. I think.
