Since my amusement is a little slow...
 

I thought maybe I would make a formal introduction of myself. Sure, I've been on here for almost a month, but I don't think a random post here and there is going to introduce me as well as this thread might. (:

On with it, then!

For starters, my name is Minka. Kind of like the porn star, only I don't have a crazy looking face and gigantic boobs.

I'm 25 years old and am a single mom. Let's see... I have a huge interest in photography (and art in general), but I'm really lazy. So, I tend to take a lot of pictures of myself and my son. Trust me, I have HUNDREDS on this computer.

Erm...

I have a pet peeve about grammar and spelling, but I probably won't correct yours. Everyone makes mistakes, including me. Though, if you see me make one, please correct me. Just not in a rude manner. =P

uhhh...

I have a tendency of lurking, but I really am a nice person. (:

And odd. Yes.

Okay, I'm really not all that interesting. I tried. (:

nice to meet you Minka.
my grammar and spelling are miserable at best. hope we can get along. ;)

I get along with everyone. (: No worries there!

If you can get along with me...


You can get along with anyone.

Pft You're not even that hard to get along with. Trust me, I've dealt with worse.

Plus, you're cute. As unlikely as it is, if I ever met you and had any problems, I could just duct tape your mouth and gaze.

Not that I've ever done anything like that... =P

It wouldn't be the first time for me...

Your smilies are backwards, yet, you stick out the tongue like a pro.
My grammar is pretty good, as long as you can put up with my innuendo

thetodd: IN HER END OH

Anyway uh, welcome. This is the forum where I show off my disfunctional inner self that you'd never knew existed if you know me RL, it is what you make of it.

welcome to our space on the internet.

have a good time and don't fret about lurking, usually some post or thread will illicit a response and you'll want to post something. Don't worry we don't bite unless asked.

Oddity is a rare personality trait that most people are not willing to show off very often. It's a shame, really. ):

And, my smilies are more awesome when they are backwards.


Ahh, thank you. I have become quite attached to this space. I hope you don't mind. (:

Gotcha! This is a sentence fragment. I suggest recasting it as follows: "Though, if you see me make one, please correct me--just not in a rude manner." The em dash does wonders to one's style, and I think it does well for you here. :D

But seriously, nice post. It looks like it shows your personality, which is good. I look forward to more of your posts.

Thank you for giving us a bit of insight into the real Minka...and Welcome to TFP, it's a fun place for the weird.

Kind of boring for everyone else.

Where's your photo thread update? You have time to post in here but don't have time to update your photo thread?

The affrontery!

Damn it. I was so close.

=P

Thank you. (:

Ahhh I know, I've gotten a bit behind on that. I took a picture yesterday, but I've pretty much just been sketching my little heart out.

I fail.

Nice to meet you, Minka.

Ahhh, nice to meet you, also. (:

RangerJoe, RangerJoe...
(She's the coolest guy I know!)
She's RangerJoe.

While technically correct, an occasional sentence fragment could be regarded as a stylistic choice. Perhaps the lady thought that a sentence fragment there was the best way to convey her meaning. A bit of irony, perhaps?

Anyway, welcome to our little corner of the web. We're all a bit odd, so if you're a bit odd as well you'll fit right in.

Aww. I think I'm in love. =P

Full House. <3 That's exactly where I stole the name from. (:

Hi. I'm the tall guy.

How tall is tall?

Very tall. Look at my profile picture for an example.

You're one big motherfucker.

... Or they are short women.

I am sure you will be fine here. You'll soon find that you have to read more threads... and join in more conversations. Then it wakes you in the middle of the night, "I wonder what's up at TFP." Then people ask you why your fingers twitch like you are typing...
I am like this in real life too... I think it makes life more interesting. Glad to welcome you aboard. :thumbsup:

Welcome from another on-and-off lurker.
I'm one of the younger members, having turned 18 last May.
(>o.o)>
Maybe I'll see you around IRC if I ever get it up and running again proper like.

RangerJoe is an odd name for a single mom, can you tell us how you came up with it?

Both, actually. I'm 6'8" and they're 5'0 and 5'4 (I think)

welcome. Minka is a cool name. never heard it before.

Read the thread. ;)

I was going to guess you were between 6.5-7 foot tall. I'm awesome like that.


I think (hope) I'm doing pretty well so far. (: Thanks. (:

You should google it and look at the porn star. She's not very pretty, though.

Hello,

I like the name "Minka" better than the name "RangerJoe", but that might just be me. As a guy, I would prefer the name "Thad" to something like "Chester" or "Clarence". I wouldn't like to be saddled with "Elrod" either. (Sorry you Chesters. Clarences, and Elrods. Nothing personal.) And as for your laziness, I'll bet I have you beat. I can sit here at my computer, look under a nearby table and there lies a nickel that has gone untouched since about this time last year. Nickels aren't worth much so I won't go crawling for it for economic reasons. I actually vacuum around it (when I bother to vacuum at all). And no one but me ever comes into this computer room. So there's no reason to grovel for it for aesthetic purposes. Someday I'm going to have to go after it. If it lies there too long the gray carpet will fade around it while the carpet below it will remain darker. When that happens I'll have to leave the nickel there indefinitely to hide the color difference.

I know, I know, hide it from who?

RangerJoe, I'm glad you've stuck with us.

Galileo, I'm glad you found us. I think you're going to fit right in....

3 months at the TFP and you are a "STAR"...rising fast...what about your kid,I like kids,and grandkids....xoxoxoo Bobby

Ahhh My son is 8, 5' tall, 100 lbs, and wears a size 8 shoe. In men. It makes me want to cry. He's a great kid, though. Straight A student and super smart. He has a tendency of being reeeeeeally hyper (adhd), but I refuse to put him on meds. He's great how he is. (: I love photowhoring him, he's my favorite subject to photograph, but I'm unfortunately not allowed to post him here. ): He looks nothing like me, though.

we could exchange pics...I got a great grand kid!!!

xoxoxoo

Oh! We should. I love kids. :)
