You do realise we're all "real" people don't you?
And is "getting a nerd on" similar to "getting a **** on?"
[Wonder why that word was edited out?]
;)


Wait, I'm not in the Matrix right now? Seriously though, in person, I'm really really shy, and probably would never have jumped into any of these conversations.

I can't make out what your edited word was, so I'm not sure how to answer your second question. :)

How do you avoid yourself?

That alas is a skill known only to Ninja's and any breach of secrecy regarding the rule causes the Ninja in question to cease to exist (something to do with paradoxes and space time continuum)

Im here because my photo's suck too much to post in the Critique section, my gear list is so limited i cant post there and my technique is so non existant i cant post there! But im happy as a Canoner in POTN here!:D

I guess I'm sor t of in the same boat as Chrissy...

The Lounge allows me to release my inner photography geek as well as get a little off the wall from time to time with like minded people. I'm constantly amazed at how far afield people's imaginations and creativity roams when turned loose.

Not everything in life need be deadly serious, knowwhatImean?

On the old TV series M*A*S*H, there used to be a psychologist who would visit the camp from time to time and I've always liked the advice he gave everyone before he departed: "Ladies and Gentlemen take my advice... Take off your pants and slide on the ice..."

And so it goes...

I bought a camera just so I can be here.

Occasionally, I even use it.

Since it is a mythical creature, it is probably a lot like Barbie. So, I could just get one of those, put some wings on it, and be done.

Nope...


Chasing (or being chased by) 'experienced" women still counts, regardless of the cute name you give them.
