LOL Bel, thanks for the intro and don't worry about writing long 'uns, I'm doing that all the time

I've hung around one or two forums for a year or so, I think netiquette isn't going to be much of an issue, but creative writing, hmmm, whats that???? Think I'll go through some of those threads. Saw the link on the welcome page somewhere.

Uhmm, no editing??? Why's that? 'Coz I frequently shoot through my boot, so to speak



Oh dang, gtg, mom's calling. I'll write more later.
Cyc.

Hi cyc, if you like writing, this really is the place for you
There are different forums for different types of entries, non-fictional entries could be fit for the edited guide, others would be fit for the AWW <./>writing-alternative</.> or <./>thepost</.> maybe.
>>Uhmm, no editing??? Why's that? 'Coz I frequently shoot through my boot, so to speak <<
That's why we have the preview button, cause once posted, it can only be hidden or removed if somebody presses the button.
For further info, read: A11284193 Post-post Remorse
There are a lot of brilliant entries to be found here, hope you'll enjoy reading some of them.

Bel, I notice you've got a sig, how do I change/add mine?

Sig ? You mean the bit that's after my name ? Go into 'my preferences' and add it in the boy that says. Nickname, then click'update details' and bingo

box, that is

No problemo, and thanks for the tip. Wanted 'Eater of Small Children' to look a little more comically menacing, though

Since you're an Ace, and since you respond faster than I can open a new page (is h2g2 really that slow or is it something with my rig?) you've probably got a bunch of additional features, right? Are you online the whole day, too?

h2 is very slow at the moment, no idea what's going on again
It's my day off today, so I'll be online for most of it, I guess.
What do you mean by 'additional features' ? Need help with guide ml for your page ?

Additional features, like something that tells you who's new etc etc. Y'know, something like a moderator on forums.

To be honest, I have no idea about moderators on forums.
I'm just one of many ACEs, and we don't have any features that you don't have

Hiya Bel, wotup? I was just wondering, how come you had today off? I mean, its monday, right, and most sadistic governments and corporations are kinda hesitant about giving holidays on such dreadfully boring days like monday.

Come to think of it, are you married? Or rather, are you single? This isn't a pass, seeing as I'm a whole 16 years old. Nah, its just that I could do with some major help with matters regarding the female of the species. Why, for instance, are the lookers also (a) The byatches, and/or/but usually and (b)The dumpkopfs?? Or atleast, on the other side of the planet from where you're probably sitting.

Wierd, some of them get. Real pissing, too.
More later


I was going through your personal space (since you're my guide, i figured it'd be the logical place to start), pretty cool thing you've got there, I was wondering what a musehome is?

kay, rant off
Cyc

How come you weren't at school this morning ? I'm working on a rota, that's why I was off today.
I'm three times as old as you are, and I have asbsolutely no idea about girls your age,
But where do you get the prejudices from, I wonder ? My nice is about your age, she's a looker, she's very intelligent, and she's not at all byatchy.
Click on the link to find out what the musehome is

niece, i.e.

This side o' the planet, sweet home India, lookers tend to be very (how can I get this in bold, btw?) byatchy :D

And i'm 16, just passed outta 12th grade 2 months back, writing my college entrance exams right now. So no school, only work-at-home. Not doing much of that, though.

Three times my age, perfect. Now we can talk without me worrying about putting my foot in my mouth, or, indeed, any other orifice. And could I get a pic of your niece, pl?

'Kay, its 20 minutes past midnight, I'm grabbing some sleep. See you in 14, Bel.
Cyc

This is plain text, you can't get anything in bold, or different colours or italics or whatever, this only works in guide ml ( recommended to create your PS in )
I'm sorry, you're too young for my niece, she's 17

In 14 ? Sleep well

14: 6 hours of sleep in bed, 8 hours on the table


Okay, atleast I tried

your niece, that is. I'm growing desperate
