Ah yeah it can be hard to shake ingrained habits. And I agree that "he or she" is awkward. It still bugs me slightly to use a plural pronoun as a singular one, but I think it's the best one to use. I'm pretty happy with "Serinde," it goes well with my name and encompasses two of ...

Thanks Maddrius! Don't worry about the name - most people struggle with it, and honestly I'm only 80% sure I'M pronouncing it right. (It's *cough* Elvish. It means "the broidress," because I embroider things and I'm a giant geek.) I pronounce it Sair-in-day, so you were close at least some...

Hahaha oh good no one will ever know. Oh well, I still think I did reasonably well considering how little practice I've had.

Oh boy! Apparently there are at least 3 streams where you can now watch me fumble with the client and make misplays! :P I had no idea so many people here streamed. Uh but hi. I'm Sarah_Serinde most places on the internet. I haven't spent much time in the forums. I basically haven't played any Magic ...

I love bearded 8-year-old Graham so much. Also all the rest of LeeLee's art. I'm less of a fan of the raps, but I thought this video was awesome.

What we really need to do is get a group of people together and each watch one of the 2-hour justin.tv recordings... make notes of what time everything of interest happens - memes starting, challenges, songs, auctions, giveaways, particularly funny jokes... pretty much anything that people might wa...

Does anyone remember what day/time the Innistrad improv happened? I remember it being fairly early on, but I forget when. I don't see it on Youtube so I'd like to search through the recordings so I can show some Magic fans.

I actually have time to work on stuff now! Fortunately I have one bigger project that's close to finished, and then a bunch of smaller things to make. So even if I don't have time to do as much as I want to, I'll still have stuff to send. Three more weeks of not being busy, and even after that I sho...

I haven't been able to come up with any really good ideas yet, it's kind of frustrating! I wasn't happy with my prototype coasters, and somehow I don't think a mini Gibb replica would be something anyone would want. But...but Gibb is awesome. I support Gibb-related crafts. <3 I wonder if I could de...

Gosh, I didn't expect to be the second person in this thread to say cross stitch bookmarks. ;) I'll be donating some of the Doctor Who bookmarks I sent in last year, plus some new ones, plus some LRR-related ones, plus something that's actually bigger than a bookmark. Plus whatever else I happen to ...

I know the crew has a lot to do already, but will we ever see more Desert Bus footage? I'd dearly love to see some more videos, both for my own entertainment and so I can show them to my friends. Even if you only put one up every month, it'd be nice to be able to watch it again.

So, I'm confused...how come Alphie didn't just visit the UK before/after going to the Netherlands?

Well I'm still excited, I just know that I have a LONG wait. I think I'm near the end of the list for hosting Alphie. Hoping that he'll come to me when I have a chance to introduce him to my anime club or take him to some other geeky event.

Like a few people have said, an in-joke that still looks good if you don't get the reference is great, like the Creepy Doll shirt. Several of my friends like that one (but then they're strange people), and my mom wishes she was brave enough to wear it. I really go more by how much I like the joke an...

I owe you for that, don't I? how should I pay?

I can PM you my email or you can pester Tally about it, and we can talk.

I was wondering whether to poke you more about that. Although that Desert Bus moment was just awesome all on its own.

Well, I made this: http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l123/SaiyukiAddict/Pics/Doctor%20Who%20x-stitch/DSCN1359small.jpg Which is a little Valentines-y. I also made cookies. =3 And I moped a bit. But I'm mostly better now. :roll: PS: Matt, there's a bookmark with your name on it if you're still at all...

Hmm, if I got Alphie before April, I could introduce him to my anime club, I'm sure he'd make lots of friends there. But since Canada doesn't seem to be on the route yet, I guess that's not too likely. Of course, I can always bring him to meet new friends outside of club events. And by the time I ge...

Like everyone else, I love this video. And I definitely believe that everyone needs to be a bit silly and childish once in a while. Like spending a whole afternoon/evening watching Bugs Bunny and Disney. And do you have any idea how much fun it is just to hit a balloon back and forth with other peop...

I need to seriously consider that creepy doll idea, I have a friend who apparently reacts to them the same way Graham does. <3
Wish I had my own creepy doll though, if I had the money I'd absolutely be bidding on #31.

I know it's unlikely the timing will be perfect for Anime North, there's no point in sending Alphie far out of his way to get him here for that. If it's a detour that's not much trouble, I guess we could do it, but no need to disrupt everything. And Pez, that story is adorable. I definitely have fri...

We could always set up a way for people to donate to shipping costs, maybe give it its own thread or ask the crew to make a blog post. Both for people hosting Alphie or those who can't do it but want to contribute. Help send Lil' Alphie around the world, and take part in a cool Desert Bus craft! Hmm...

I agree with Maerarde. If you're just learning for fun, and you're interested in anime and the like, I'd go with Japanese. On the other hand, if you want to learn to write as well as speak, it's going to be a lot of work. 2 alphabets, hiragana and katakana, have a lot of characters that are similar ...

The idea of a mod watching the overflow chat for bids is good, but obviously it'll be much better if we get rid of the user limit in the chat. Some people might not care, but it's just not the same watching Desert Bus without the main chat. It's a fairly big part of the experience. (Oh chat, I heart...

I would think/hope that they weren't being serious. Especially since we have so many other people willing to host Lil' Alphie. I know it's really unlikely, but if the timing works out just right and I get him at the end of April, I very much want to take Alphie to Anime North. I know he'd fit right ...

Awesome, thanks Misty.

I feel like I should support #TeamTeam, but...I'm just not a good enough person. Oh well.
