Welcome from another newbit (I'm mostly a lurker). I saw your post on Night Watch, and you picked one of my favorite of all of PTerry's quotes. I figure if your taste agrees with mine, you must be brilliant!
Seriously, now, I'm really looking forward to hearing more from you. Don't give up on the writing! |

Hi~
I'm new 1) The reason why my screenname(LupineLuna) was choosenhas 2 parts: Lupine was chosen beacause I LOVE all canids and Lupine emplies wolf-ness.( Anguais fave character) Luna is spanish for moon. The moon is long assoiciated with females and Feminine mystique. 2)Female 3)I am 14 and live in the USA only until I can leave or the government does whichever comes first. 4) The movie might or might not suck , I would check it out anyhow 5)I found Discworld when I was ten ( Feet of Clay) . My parents had been reading it and I just picked it up and didn't put it down till past midnight. 6)Personal Quote-of-the-day? :"God is coming and she is p*ssed" 7) Gerald Durrell ,or perhaps Tamora Pierce |

Welcome LupineLuna! Lupine is associated with wolves, because it's wolf in Latin. Canis Lupus is the genus Wolf, and you add a species name to make a certain species. Example: Canis Lupus Dirus Is the Dire Wolf. Right LaughingFire? :yawinkle:
You had better give your left sock to Bob :( because now he's got three right ones, and only two left ones. As a plus, it also makes sure you're not a vampire. (Have you read Carpe Jugulam?) |

Yep, Gawain! Well, technically 'lupine' is either an adjective meaning wolf-like or a flower, but good enough. 'Lupus' is the latin, and Canis Lupus Dirus is indeed the Latin name of an extinct species of giant wolf WITH SHARP POINTY TEETH!!! ^^ Love wolves. High five, Lupine!
Hi, Bob. :( He doesn't seem pleased to meet me. (There may have been a previous version of this posted a few minutes ago as Gawain. That was still me; I just hadn't noticed that CERTAIN PEOPLE had left my laptop signed onto this site as them....) |

I know. I'm technically supposed to be working very hard right about now, since this paper's due tomorrow and this other paper's due the day after. I just can't concentrate. But I am trying, so taking time out to get an avatar would be...bad. Yes, bad. I'm not an Unseen University student, you know. The teachers do NOT try to avoid us.

Hello, Sir_Vaims.
*Vainly pretends to be long-time member* ....Aw, screw it. I'm a newbie and proud of it! Pleased ta meetchy'all. 1.) The desire to not use my incredibly stupid last sn. 2.) It doesn't really matter, does it? 3.) Teenager. American. That's everything you need to know about me. 4.) Only Mort. The fight scene would look awesome on the big screen. 5.) ...Y'know, I honestly can't remember. It probably fell on my head one day at the library, and I was mesmerized by the shiny letters. That happens to me a lot. 6.) "Hi, my name's Impulse. And these" Clunk, clunk "are my feet." |
