Allow myself to introduce... myself.



I am a 30-something WoW, poker, and Scrabble addict with a penchant for peculiarity. I highly enjoy strange and quirky people, and partake in a wide variety of conversation, and ice cream.

I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I don't always say or do the right thing, but I will be the first one to admit my shortcomings. After all, if you can't laugh at yourself, what's the story, allegory?

I have horrible punctuation, I trounce the English language, I mix up metaphors, and I have lots of fun doing it.

I have two cats named Topsy & Turvy, and a hamster in my head named Herbie. I am happily married to and living in Canada with the sweetest guy on the planet.

I'm not here to win friends and influence people, I already know how to do that. I'm simply here to write. If you want to read, so be it. If you don't, that's ok, too. Comment to be added.


 
 
I'm feeling kinda: chillax

I was wondering who would be silly, first. Of course you're added! I'm not about to kick you out if you're already here! :P

So what finally amde you push the "friends only" button?
Verity[info]vavaverity on May 1st, 2006 05:44 pm (UTC)
There was no one thing in particular. I just decided it was time to exercise some measure of control over who was welcome in my world.

Keep me... I've always wanted to be kept.

Okay, maybe NOT but ya know what I mean ...

Verity: auburn[info]vavaverity on May 1st, 2006 07:44 pm (UTC)
Thanks!

And of course you'll be kept. I'm not ditching anyone, I'm simply being selective about who reads in the future.

I always thought being a kept woman would be fun, myself. :)

Why thankya, dahlin. I thought a re-introduction was in order. :)

a girl of wealth and taste

I think what's puzzling me is just the nature of your game. (Okay, I felt like saying that and it's relevant to nothing.)

Internet in the airport blows, but internet withdrawal is almost as bad as caffeine withdrawal, so . . . I pay too much and connect too little.

You're mucho fun to hang out with, vava-v. I couldn't even smell your smelly feet.

Re: a girl of wealth and taste
Have a safe flight. I'm so glad we finally got to meet in person, smelly feet or not. :)

"I gravitate towards strange and quirky people...."

Well, no wonder I feel so welcome here. :-)

LOL then I guess you fit right in.
Lily[info]lilymoon on May 2nd, 2006 01:47 am (UTC)
I've been enjoying reading your journal the last few weeks. I'd like to continue being able to do so, but if you'd like to keep your journal for people you know I would understand.
Verity: auburn[info]vavaverity on May 2nd, 2006 01:53 am (UTC)
It's not a problem at all, I've added you. I don't have a problem with people reading, I have just decided that I'd like to know who they are. :)

I am addicted to reading about other people's Scrabble games and tournaments. Bingos, phoneys, weird plays, commentary, etc. Please let me continue. :) Thanks.
Verity[info]vavaverity on May 2nd, 2006 05:31 pm (UTC)
By all means... welcome. :)
[info]jofjltn4 on May 6th, 2006 12:07 am (UTC)
Pick me! Pick me!
Nope, you don't know me. I'm just a weirdo who likes to read about scrabble...and the "politics" behind competitive scrabble. So I'd be thrilled if you added me. :)

Mysterious outsider
I'm not an LJer, but I am a Scrabble player. Harmless in nearly every way. Can I be added? Is it even possible to add a non-LJer? Baffling. Hmmm, it doesn't think my URL-- www.fredericksburg.com/blogs --is an "identity" URL. Guess I'll just have to be anonymous, which is annoying. What the hell: I'm Laura Moyer, loricae on isc and jumbletime.

Re: Mysterious outsider
Heh. I'm going to your site now to get in touch with you. :)

Yikes!!
Don't leave me out! I don't get in here as much as I used to, but the first place I come to is here. xoxo

Re: Yikes!!
Oops, sorry hon! I didn't realize you were still around. I've re-added you. :)

Don't forget to re-add me. I couldn't do without your crazy and fun shenanigans. ;o)

Greetings Scrabble addict...cazul_blue is a mutual friend, and she mentioned our mutual Scrabble obsession. My husband and I have kept track of our ongoing Scrabble comptition for a decade, so I suppose we're a wee bit obsessed.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and say hello!
Verity[info]vavaverity on May 22nd, 2006 01:35 pm (UTC)

Re: Of Course...
Sweet! I will add you as a buddy so you can have access to my stuff. It's "friends only" after other nameless anonymous people wouldn't go away. Heh.
cordelia24[info]cordelia24 on June 16th, 2006 05:24 pm (UTC)
hi. i stumbled upon your answers to the friday five today and thought that you seemed like an interesting person. after having checked out your userinfo, i would love to be added to your journal. we have a decent amount of interests in common and i would love to read more about you. i am sorry if this sounds strange or creepy. i promise that i am not a stalker, just bored at work and interested in meeting new people.
Verity[info]vavaverity on June 16th, 2006 05:28 pm (UTC)
Hiya, added you. Not creepy at all, don't worry. :) I turned this to friend-only specifically to get rid of all the creepy stalker anonymous types. Creepy crazy interesting quirky and any other kind of non anonymii are welcome. :)

Verity[info]vavaverity on July 6th, 2006 04:17 pm (UTC)
You don't need to love the game to love the girl that plays it. (In a friendly manner, of course). And vice versa. Come on in! :)

Re: :(
Oh, I'm sorry sweetie. You never write or post, I didn't think you were lurking about these parts anymore.

At any rate, all my Scrabble stuff will be posted in the new LJ community I set up. I decided the rest of the journal is really inappropriate for younger people I happen to know. It's not at all an affront to you personally, it's, well, an affront to your age. You're not the only one I bumped, please don't take it personally.
