Introduce yourself here! Or say farewell!

[Kinokokao]

RAWR! *ninja-pounce*

[ClefdeSoll]

GOSH I AM SO BLIND I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS THING YESTERDAY AND ARGHHH.

Ahem. Hello. I'm new and awkward. My username is ClefdeSoll (which means Treble Clef with an extra L in French!), but feel free to call me AE, Ae, Clef, or whatever you fancy!

I draw, write, do comics, love travelling and as horrible as it may sound to some, I love maths. I'm going to go in programming if my school can someday stop being on STRIKE. u__u;;;

I have a cat at home. He's adorable, his name is Pixel. He's also very stupid. I'm training him to use the toilet instead of a litter. It's hard.

I managed to get my hands on EO last summer and fell in love with it, forgot all about it, found it back again two weeks ago when I got sick from overworking myself [I write a novel] and was stuck in bed, so I played. And now I'm procrastinating forever, but that's another story. I managed to get my hands on the second one, I should be getting it Monday, but I refuse to touch it till I'm done with the first one! Which should be soon.

I don't know what else to say about me, SO HELLO PEOPLE. Did I mention I'm totally awkward?

Oh, and I'm actually French Canadian. I currently live in Sherbrooke with my girlfriend since 2 years ago, but I've been around a lot.

[Kimiko]

Ooh, more Canadians! Of the French variety even!
*waves* Hello Aeclef! Welcome to ItL

So, you're an artist, huh. Are you going to do Etrian Odyssey fan art?

[ClefdeSoll]

Yes, I will! >v< I actually started a thread yesterday in the fanart section, where I'll be posting things, I guess! So far it's just a sketch of a survivalist and a hand sewn badge, but more will come. I have a page of doodles I did a few months back, I only need to dig it out and scan it...

Since my EO characters have been named after OCs of mine, I like to think that they're cosplayed, it sounds lame but it's funny in my head GOSH I'm awkward and lame. *goes to cry in a corner*

[Kimiko]

Ah yes, the fanart section. I tend to forget it exists, sorry. That section used to be only about fanfiction, which I don't care for, so it's one of the sections of the forum that I don't bother to read.

Hmm.. Maxine? May I propose a split (or maybe a subdivision) of the fanart forum section into a visual part and a fiction part?

[ClefdeSoll]

I get a little confused, too, to be honest... There seems to be so many places for written things and only half a spot for fanart, but from what I've seen, people mostly post general art in there? I'd be flooding the forums if I were to post everything I've ever drawn (seriously, it probably goes up to a huge number like 50,000 drawings), so I plan to post nothing but fanart.

[zamisk]

A lot of the time we don't even post fan-art, just stuff we've drawn in those threads. Although I've been on a runthrough of EOIII recently and am doing some more EO art for the first time in ages.

Also, you're French Canadian, hey? I'm from Western Canada. I think we're not supposed to like you guys right now or something? Anyways, welcome to ItL! Hope you like it here and stick around!

[ClefdeSoll]

LOL Oh, please don't hate me because of where I live! ;_____;

No, seriously, I'm so ashamed of all these strikes, let me go hide in a corner while the rest of Quebec insists at fighting over everything x'D

Where do you come from, which province/city? <:

[zamisk]

Calgary, Alberta. I think there's a lot of grumbling here because we turn in so much money from oil and everybody else is subsidized. But hey, I'm not complaining. We're doing fine over here, so why shouldn't others? The strikes, on the other hand, are a bit off-putting, but I realize not everybody is behind that.

[ClefdeSoll]

Well, we have a lot of trouble here because the government is pretty harsh on our province, mainly because it's originally French. There are a lot of laws and what not that are cheating our right to our primary language, so we complain over that and nothing gets done. Thus, we end up sounding like nothing but whiny annoying people who never get to do anything.

I don't feel all that touched by most of it though. But taxes are high and our roads suck and our money isn't well invested and THAT gets on my nerves so badly X'P Please get some organization up there, Quebec...

[zamisk]

Technically speaking, all those years ago the English side won the war between French and English and there is no reason that French should be a primary language. But the English were nice and let the French keep their language and now it's too late to change anything.
That is what we're taught here, more or less, but that sounds downright mean. I think a lot of people are bitter about "their" money going somewhere else. The money not being invested well is what bugs me. I mean, there are countries giving Quebec lots of money, and still the taxes are high and people aren't happy. That shows there is a problem.



Anyways, though, that's the country, not you. You seem quite nice, and I don't want to bore you with my opinions on Canadian politics.

[Kimiko]

See what I mean about not reading that section?

[Kinokokao]

Welcome welcome! This will help the calculations in our "move all of ITL to Canada" discussion.
