No More Lurking

from WinCustomize Forums

Hi

My name is Helen. I'm a long time lurker and finally decided to join. If nothing else, it makes it so I don't have to refer to myself as a lurker anymore. Which is great considering the voyeuristic overtone I read into the word lurker :puke:

 

I've lurked ( :puke: ) for so long mostly because of my clinical depression and general misanthropy. I figured it was time to try and put myself out amongst people again, even if it is only online, and having lurked ( :puke: ) for so long I know what a wonderful bunch of people there are on here, so where better to start attempting to socialise again. I'm presently using Winstep Xtreme and the free version of Cursor FX, though I'm hoping to make some purchases in the near future. Object Desktop seems like a good buy from a value standpoint, but I'm not sure if it's worth buying considering how much of it doesn't function/has problems with Windows 7 64 bit, and as much as I'd like to, I can't say whether skinning is something I could do.

So, a little information about me. I live in the sunny North-West of England (no wonder I'm bloody depressed, lol) and I spend most of my time online with my fiancee, who lives in Ohio, USA. I'm a sometime artist. Mostly as and when funds permit me to produce artwork, which isn't very often. I enjoy Ben Elton novels, video games and the occasional movie, as well as a few different genres of music (EBM/Industrial, Techno, some Drum 'n' Bass, Alternative type stuff). All in all, I guess I live a very simple life. But then, I believe that life is not complicated; people are complicated. As such, life is as complicated as you make it. Hey, I think I know what to write in the motto part of my account :grin:

 

I'm glad to be here, finally, and look forward to getting to know people on here better. To help get things off to a good start, I'll promise now that I will never ask Fuzzy Logic why his username is Fuzzy Logic

Bollocks!!!!  Be honest, you went there for a vacation with room service and better meds than we have here at home.

Yeah, that's right, Helen, mrs s goes to the funny farm to chill out with her peers... and to ensure staff wait on her hand and foot, she takes one of my strait jackets from home and gets one of the other inmates to do it up.  She's a sneaky one like that, let me tell you.  Also unbeknown to funny farm staff, there's a hidden zipper for quick release so she can play silly buggers, participate in basket weaving and scratch her own backside as required.

:-" *_* :X

You're welcome...

Take your time and have fun... that one was just to hold you until you find a better one or a much more skilled graphics person makes on for you. Someone like theA/VMan.. K10w3, Vampothika, Xiandi, DaveBax, Po'Smedley or skinhit... there are so many fantastic artists here, Helen... and the better they are, the friendlier they seem to be.

The Young Ones, The Blackadder quadrilogy, The Man from Auntie... I think I've been watching Ben Elton's comedy since I was a little kid. Now I'm just reading through his books (and loving them so far) as and when I can find one going for a song on Amazon. Five down, eight to go.

Thank you for the welcome, too! :grin:

Helen, feel free to interrupt any time you like... the distraction might just be enough for me to get a word in edgeways. :w00t: :X

You see what I got to put up with, Helen?   Yup, emotional blackmail... if I want tea I have to blah b-blah, blah, blah.

Hehe, well I'm still gonna push the envelope just to see how far her patience will stretch before the strike pickets come out. :-"
