Hi, I'm new, obviously, if you don't count the minecraft server that is. On a couple of occasions now I have been mining my own business (or jumping off tall structures to see if I could survive) when others on the server have asked me who I am and subsequently to write an introductory blog. Fair warning this is my first time to blog anything so it might not be great.
I was introduced to this site through a friend of Ferrets who has since had computer issues so i was left to my own devices to meet others. Surprisingly I have chatted and had some good time with quite a few of you now, even if the introductions consist of me pick-axing someone in the face when the tp'd to me at an inopportune moment (yes that's you Steve) or blowing someone's mind by being female (thanks JID, you made my day). Thanks guys ^_^ Upon being asked to post something artistic or creative I was stumped: I enjoy many forms of art but I fear I only have creativity in a few strange areas. For some reason I tend to be creative in things, like Minecraft, making costumes out of found items, or finding new solutions to problems (not exactly things I can display). However, I can write a little, so as a way of introduction to myself I will include a little something I wrote a year or so ago. Unfortunately, my grammar and spelling sucks so I would be toast without spell check, a bit of a roadblock when it comes to writing.Trust me, no matter how many time you tell me tomarrow is spelled with three o's I won't get it right. I apologize before hand if your inner grammar nazi goes on a rampage, your adventurer gets drunk and falls asleep or you rebel starts brandishing a sword around to get rid of my preaching.Hope you enjoy it :http://64digits.com/download.php?id=30690&dir=0
(Toast the user is presumably made of meat, and thus not vegetarian.)
Meat, aye…
…and alas, for I cannot be milked.o_0You know, all of these comments and I think I received only one of two that had to do with the story ;P Not that I didn't enjoy all of this immensely anyway. I just think its funny.
People don't like to read on this site, most of the time.
Yeah, whatever JID said is probably true. I'll come back later and read what he actually said, and edit my comment appropriately.
Edit: Or Juurian will take a screenshot of my comment, and edit it accordingly.Am I the only person in the whole world who didn't start off writing first person?
…Well I guess I am now, and I actually find it more challenging in ways.The only advice I can give here is to just separate paragraphs a little more, especially regarding dialogue. As a general rule of thumb, whenever a new person starts speaking, you put it on a new line. That should increase your page count by one, at least.But other than that, cute story (I don't mean that in a derogatory way). Is this based on personal experience?Welcome! Good to see a fellow vegetarian.
@ polystyrene: I'm sorry, that was a very confusing conversation wasn't it. I am actually not vegetarian, I just don't tend to eat humans, especially when I met them online ; ) But don't worry, one of my best friends back home is a vegetarian by choice, so I have had my fair share of meatless meals and highly respect both you and her for it :P
