Hi, my name is Songbird, and I'm an addict.

One more question, if you'll indulge the incessant newbie: Reading through discussions, it seems people often post vague or ambiguous comments instead of posting clear questions or theses. Is this something you get used to? Is there a kind of language and rhythm unique to this forum that will grow on me? I suppose it's a big world with a wide variety of people who all have different ways of communicating. I just feel like I'm missing the underlying nuances.

Yes, to both.

Blame it on the Internet. (Or aliens, if that suits you.)

Hi songbird, I'm a newbie too and I was just wondering what you're addicted to. A read all of your posts and the title of your thread and didn't see anything mentioned.

Just for your general info, I'm a speed addict and have been clean for over 4 years. It's been easier to stay clean than I thought it would. :yes:

Oh, sorry dragondaughter, now I feel bad. In my OP I said "Of AWESOMENESS", so there you go - an awesomeness addict. I've never had a real addiction. I was just being a dork.

Way to go for being clean four years! I'm really happy for you. I wish you much happiness, love, and light.

Of AWESOMENESS. Figured I'd dive in by being lame and using caps lock right off the bat. Sorry.

I have to admit I've never used message boards. I was on Amazon's discussion forums for a few years and am trying something new. The layout here is more confusing and busy to me, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. I just needed a change, and I've read a few threads here - y'all seem purty nice to me.

I don't quite know what I believe - I'm rather agnostic or deistic, but I prefer undefined and organic and changing. I like music, writing, writing music, running, yoga, and Thai food. I'd probably enjoy long walks on the beach under moonlight and holding hands. I used to be a fundamentalist Christian, then less fundamentalist, then rather skeptical, then two years ago I realized I just didn't believe much about it. This is a very challenging twist in my marriage to a Pentecostal pastor. If you know of any other pastors married to agnogs, please let me know. I haven't met a single one. This path is sorta lonely, and ya can't just tell a fervent congregation these kinds of things. Hence my reliance on online communities where I can be semi-anonymous and ask questions and reveal some thoughts otherwise kept private.

I don't know how much to share, and I suddenly feel shy. I don't want to barge in here and start posting, but like everyone, I'm busy and don't feel I have as much time as I'd like to get a feel for things before joining conversations.

Thanks! Hope everyone is doing well.

So, song, done lurking and dive in yet?

There is no correct way to post. Some are brilliant (not mine) and some are retarded (also not mine, I hope.) Some are theses of brilliance and erudition, and some are travesties of logic and spelling. Some are barely coherent! So go ahead and dance like nobody's watching!:dancer:

AUTODUDE!!

I love the word erudite.

I did indeed dive in. I even started my own thread, to abysmally dismal non-replying-inducing failure.

Welcome to the forum, Songbird. I can tell you'll fit in fine. :D

1.) Moderators and administrators are identifiable by the color of their usernames. One can also enlist in certain groups via the User CP (top of the page) that will change the color.
2.) Frubals are reputation points. When you like a post, just click on the "scale" looking icon on the top right of the post.
3.) Cheap entertainers.

Thank you for the welcome and the info, GeneCosta.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

I recently realized how to see who's fruballed me. Thank you so much, frubal givers!

And it amuses me to see the 'online' notification by a person's name. It looks so exciting - Someone Online! Get in on that piece of action while you can!
