New and scared by spicky

Thankyou all for your welcome. I have to say typing words a second time isn't qite so scarey so I'm thinkin' it can only get easier.
Might even loosen up enough to do some regular chit chat.

Seems I've gotta take a tour of the site, there's so much more goin' on than I thought. Any thoughts on where I should start to explore.

Now I am learning about scary.

Welcome, Spicky! I only signed up in February, so I well remember how nervous I was when I first posted. (My first post was pretty stupid, by the way.)

I'm so glad you overcame your fears and decided to join us! With any luck, FollowMal will be along soon to issue you your official Browncoat and there will be others welcoming you, too.

There are so many places to explore on this board that I'm not sure where you'd want to start. Just click randomly and explore!

Again, welcome!

This site is mostly cool! The only place that you wouldn't wanna wonder into is the Troll Country! You should also visit the chatroom after midnight. Scary things are afoot there ;)
There is a lot of amazing fanfiction and fan art around here. You should check those out if you didn't do so already.

and also, welcome.

Hi hon,

I'm new too, as of last night. People here are so friendly, aren't they? Absolutely non-judgemental so post like there's no one watching. Or should that be dance. Hmmm...

Anyway, have fun,

Hey I'm always dancing, people watching or not, it's the making of the words that bothers me, but the response I have got from people here has been amazingly friendly, I can feel the fear subside with each typing. Can't say I'll have much time to post much for the next few weeks because of exams and assignments due at the end of the month, but the summer will bring renewed vigor.

You'll be fine. Just so long as you don't do anything terrible. I'm assuming you have read all the Posting Rules?

OK, I just made all that up...

It really is very friendly here, even if you've just been robbed on penalties. Just settle in and make yourself at home.

Far as I can see, everyone treats everyone else pretty much the way they would expect to be treated themselves. You'd have to go a fair distance to find a better (intangible) vade mecum to tuck into your (metaphorical) brown coat pocket.

Hi, and welcome, have a cookie!

I like giving out cookies i generaly have interesting recipts depending on what the thread requires all though strawberry and white chocolate ones are always popular.
If you ever want anything special dont be afraid to ask.

Im sure FollowMal will be around soon enough, she normaly smells out the newbies fairly quick, especialy 2 in one thread. but never fear if she doesnt find you, you can always look for her.

Have fun exploring our shiny world. PPxx

Thanks for the cookies.

Have to say the choc ones are my fave. Have an allergy to strawberries, although I love them, can still taste them and the last one I had I was 11yrs old. Oh well! Chocs just as good for you, isn't it?

Moderate amounts of dark chocolate, eaten regularly, are apparently actually good for your heart.

(Like I needed an excuse to have chocolate...)

But you're right - any chocolate is good for the spirit.

Welcome to the group, Spicky! Everyone's real friendly - well, most everyone!

Did you, by any chance, get your name from the special features disk on the Australian DVD where Jewel calls the hickey on Sean's neck that Nathan points out - a spicky?

Its on the UK DVD as well, and yes thats where I got the name. I just love the banter between Nathan and crew, they all seem so close and comfortable with each other. When Nathen chose to called Seans hicky a space hicky/spicky I laughed as much as Jewel did. Their so cute

Too depressed to dance today, Spicky. Penalties is not an honourable way to go.

Ahoy, mate! Sorry you're allergic to strawberries, but perhaps the virtual variety will do no harm. Whatever you decide, we're well supplied with other things. Here *rummages in a compartment* are brownies made by Ravenhair --
I hid a few for aging. In the cooler there are ice-planets. On the buffet: wife soup, hot cheese, fruit, veggies...
And the Captains' Evil Repeating Bean Dip with a bowl of reinforced chips!
