I just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm an engineering student. I'm Canadian, but I grew up in Saudi Arabia, and I think Sluggy Freelance is awesome.

Hey cool. it is customary to give us some form of poetry, haikus are traditional. Then you get gifts. i am nice so you can have some lunar real estate just for joining.

Welcome! A Canadian in Saudi Arabia, that's quite a childhood. Are you still there now?

I've been back in Canada for a for a few years, but my family just moved back recently, after a terrorist attack occured a fifteen minute drive from where we lived. One of those signs it's time to leave.




Do I have make something up, or just pick something I like? Never was very good at writing.

Hello, IronShark. I've a friend who lived in Saudi for a while. Here, have a drink, which, now your're not in S.A., you won't have to keep secret!

*Gives a beverage of your choice.*

Cheers!

Jonathan Oddy? I think he was in his early teens when he left.

Hey there, welcome to the boards. *gives something profound and mysterious such that one doesn't really know what it is*

Don't remember that name. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

That avatar reminds me of Gigan, only a hundred times cooler and with teeth. :D Have a Legion flight ring!
