new to the board... and could use a little help with my new toy

[veryape]

If you don't mind me asking,why do you feel the need to post pictures of yourself? I usually look at that as someone who is either looking for attention or they are not who they say they are.

I believe you are who you say you are,but do think you are lacking in the attention department,otherwise you would have made friends on personallity alone. If you don't want to be treated like a piece of meat then it is always a good idea not to post pics of yourself until you know the people on the board better. Unless of course you like to be treated like a piece of meat.

Please don't take offense to my statements,just a bit of friendly advice.

Smith, you go girl! Excellent school.

I might consider sending my girls to an all-girls college when the time comes, but for now I plan on keeping them locked in their rooms until they are 30.

happy - don't worry, we Canucks feel your pain about the snow!

Welcome to AT: OT, the land of a thousand nefs

<< Welcome aboard, and please note, the litter box is in the back room. Sorry, I am just feeling a little catty today... >>


uh-oh, Girlfriday might have some competition now! lol

 

[MuffD]

That was harsh veryape.

 

[Isla]

It was a little harsh muffstah, but Lesson #1 on OT...

Be prepared for criticism!

Develop a thick skin now.

The people that you are meant to get to know will find you, and visa-versa.

I've met some truly kindred spirits here... it's made wasting all this time worth it.

Have fun!

 

[MuffD]

Very true. I wasn't trying to knock anyone down or anything. Just voicing my opinion

<<I've met some truly kindred spirits here... it's made wasting all this time worth it. >>

I am deeply touched. (I hope)

Soybomb ~ thunderbooty...? O_O

MisFit ~ welcome!

Zenmervolt ~ apology in advance accepted. As for the UM v. OSU rivalry... I was in the Big House for their 1998 and 1999 matchups. The crowd was electric... I love college football!

veryape ~ no offense taken, we're all entitled to our own opinions here. To answer your question, I (personally) like being able to associate a screen name with a real face... kinda takes the impersonality away from it, don't you think? If you don't feel comfortable doing the same, that's fine. As for your &quot;warning,&quot; thanks but no thanks. I've done a bit of modeling here and there, and the entire industry is one big &quot;meat market.&quot; So is going out to clubs, bars, etc. I understand and am used to what goes on, and it doesn't bother me at all... I really don't think you should let it affect you as much as it appears to, but then again... to each his own, eh?

Isla ~ thank you! Smith is a wonderful college... significantly more challenging than U of M, and I'm not just a number anymore (no more 500 person+ lecture halls, yay!). I'd highly recommend it to your girls when you finally let them out of their rooms at the age of... uh... 30. My dad didn't want me dating until I was 25... thank goodness I was able to convince him 18 was late enough!

Optimus ~ Oh, Canada... I lost all my money up at Casino Windsor over Winter Break, but I'll be back! Great skiing you have, up there... I'll be making my way over to Whistler one of these days...

 

[MisFit]

But a picture gets you a hello at the very least, if you are female.


HELLO ALL (j/k)


Hello happykitten, thank you- purrrrrr

 

[VoodooExtreme]

happykitten: Ain't that smart posting pics of yourself when you look like that :Q *Droool*
Now you just end up with a bunch of groupies



j/k

Enjoy your stay!

happykitten,

Welcome fellow Wolverine!

Well, I didn't actually go to U of M, but I did get accepted there. Decided not to go out of state... uh... I digress.

I am a big fan, though. GO BLUE!

 

[happykitten]

VoodooExtreme ~ I was hoping for more prospective summer internship tips as opposed to groupies, but... hey, I'll take whatever I can get. Thanks for the welcome!

ATLien247 ~ What school did you turn down U of M for? I chose it over Vanderbilt, Georgetown, Cornell and a few others... I had my fun in A squared, but now it's time to focus on my studies...

By the way... for those of you who might be wondering, I finally figured it out and the webcam will be ready for action after dinner. Maybe I can hold up a sign that says ANANDTECH or something and take a few test pictures...

 

[Mday]

i'm new too =)








okay, i'm not new. =(

 

[ATLien247]

happykitten,

You've got PM!!!

 

[kduncan5]

Uh-oh. Time to break out the drool cups again.....


Um.....Welcome happykitten! -kd5-

 

[joohang]

Talking about universities, I just thought I'd add this:

Our school mascot is &quot;Thunderbird&quot;

 

[joohang]

And by the way, welcome aboard happykitten.

 

[Wedesdo]

might be thunderbotty

 

[Harvey]

happykitten -- Another welcome to AT. Looks like you've started a thundering roar of howdy's.

veryape -- << why do you feel the need to post pictures of yourself? >>

Hmmm... Is that a chip on your shoulder, or are you just mad to see her? :Q

 

[TheViper6]

You, wouldn't happen to want to live near Dallas would you????????

 

[AudiPorsche]

why does the second picture look like a different person?

 

[happykitten]

kduncan5 ~ thank you very much...

joohang ~ thank you... thunderbird?

Wedesdo ~ okay, someone just clued me in on this &quot;thunderbooty&quot; thing... ha ha ha, very funny. Look for an upcoming thread to reply to all of your posts...

Harvey ~ It's good to be here... I look forward to seeing you around!

TheViper6 ~ as a matter of fact, I would... not IN Dallas, but my family lives in Plano (my father owns his own software company... he developed ASP-db, for all you database fans out there...)

AudiPorsche ~ uh... 'cuz I had blonde highlights during the summer, and when I went back to school I dyed it back to its natural color? It happens, you know.
