Hello everyone, I am Klomonx, or Klo for short. (that is pronounced, Klow-Mon-X) If you've seen that user name anywhere else on the Internet (such as on other forums, Deviant Art, or You-tube) it is me. I have been role-playing since 2006, and have role played mainly animals-but not always. I just recently started High School, but I hope to stick around, as this place seems very interesting, as I love both Pokemon and the 'His Dark Materials' series. Some random factoids about myself; -I am left-handed -I can draw, but I consider myself mainly a writer. -I adore Canines, as well as Reptiles, Rodents, and Dragons (I also like birds). -I make typos because I type fast, not because I can't write the English language. I usually correct these, but sometimes I don't see them. Anything else you'd like to know (within reason)? I'll be sure to answer anything else you'd like to know- Its great to be here.

YO WORD UP DUDE
I mean, nice to meet you. c: Thanks for the tidy little pronunciation you added in parenthesis. I would have been going 'kl... kló? Kloh? Kloo?' all day long. x3 But that's just me.
I'm a mod around here, though thus far I haven't done much modding ._. But! I can mod and roleplay decently. Really. If you don't mind, I would definitely be interested in taking your lab thread. I've been roleplaying, whoo... since about 2005/6, so yeah, about the same amount as you. I do everything, basically. Except Twilight. If it exists and is not Twilight, I have RPed it.
I'm a brit, and so is Birdy our admin, so please forgive our english stupidity if you come out with words like 'jello' or 'nark' and we're all 'whuuut? '^''. I'm right (kinda) handed, draw plenty (infact there's a deviantART account somewhere out there where I put stuff - plus, I normally draw with my left hand lolwierdo), and type srsly fast.
Like, it's not quite talking speed but it's almost there. I never bothered to check out my WPM, but it's probably about, like, fourty? Fifty? Quite fast? Anyway, I try not to make typos because I watch the line of text as I type rather than the keyboard. If you catch me going 'weird' then feel free to chatise me about it.
Can I ask, like, where in the world you live? We have a whole bunch of people around here. I'm guessing that you live somewhere in America, but I could be totally out.

I despise Twilight, I could tell you the whole plot line, because I've gone through years of my friends telling me (well, friend) and me just nodding my head and starring off into space. Anyway, I'd be happy to have a thread with you, : ).
A Brit? Really? I love meeting them on-line, I haven't really met many from The UK, and to answer your question now, instead of later-yes, I was born and raised in America, and currently live in Pennsylvania (even though I probably spelled that wrong). You draw with your left hand?? I can hardly hold a pencil comfortably (if at all) with my right.
Hm, if I 'type' like, actually type (not my hybrid thing I made up, and type in just about all the time), I type 32 words per minute--if I type with my hybrid fashion, its a lot more, but I've never calculated because I either forget to or haven't seen much reason too.
Very pleased to meet you, Alpha.

WHUT DID YOU SAY ABOUT TWILIGHT?!!! Twilight is so cool! It's the bestest book EVER! OK, a couple of bits are possibly a smidge odd, but it. is. so. good. -glares-
Yup, me and Alpha ish English. No, that does not mean we're posh or constantly drink tea or whatnot. I know plenty of people who don't like tea. But I like it. I have a cup every morning. If you were wondering, it's why we spell colour differently. I dunno if there's anyfink else.
I have no idea how fast I type, but nowhere near as fast as you guys, and have been roleplaying for about a year and a half. I've only ever done Pokémon and -gasp-Twilight.

Oh god, here we go. =^=
I think the Twilight series is a load of rubbish, frankly. -slaps you a high-five- But Birdy adores it. Can't see why, the plot is negligible and what there is is recycled over the four books. The grammar looks like it comes from a three-year old, and the characters are the same; two-dimensional and bland. But it's sold hundreds of copies, so I guess the average teenage girl is happy to lap it all up. -shrugs-
Oh, okay. Cool. I'm pretty sure you spelled it correctly. I have no idea. >w<
Nice to meet you, too. It's always nice to get new members around here.
Incidentally, I can't stand tea. Coffee, yes, that's fine until I pass out from caffeine intake (intolerant to it as well as sugar), but I find tea to have not enough caffeine to make me feel happy and not enough taste to make it actually worth drinking.
Birdy, if you want to improve your typing speed and touch-type, then I reccoment the BBC website dance-mat typing. It's boring to get through, but it really does teach you where all the keys are. Although you've probably seen it already it can't hurt to do it again.
You seriously roleplay Twilight? o.0 B-but... but why?

Among those reasons, (that I do agree with) I dispise it most for the fact it tries to change the outlook of a Vampire, such an outlook has existed for over thousands of years. Vampires are, murderous, soul-less, undead, and, occasionaly-lustful creatures, that are above all else, out to simply benefit themselves. I read 'Dracula' about three years ago, and enjoyed i immesnly, compared to Twilight, 'Dracula' wins. I become disgusted by the fact that if I go to a bookstore where it has a Twilight, or generally any stand of vampire books, I immediatly find one copy of Dracula, and move it out with the other vampire books-after all, Count Dracula was the king of Vampires, and when he died, they all went poof. Personally, I'd take the evil, shape-shifting vampires over the Cullens' anyday.
But of course, Birdy, I won't dislike you for it, I have a few friends who absolutely love Twilight, I just dispise the series and all that-not the fans. I myself am obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe, so we all have our favorite books/authors etc.
Oh, I know all about the colour, armour, etc. spellings. I like some of them more then the without 'u' spellings, to be honest. I hate coffee, I can't stand the smell of it-and even though I haven't had tea in a long time I do like it, I also like Scones, I like them very much. (even without the tea, Milk works just fine)

I won't even bother with telling what I think about Twilight, apart from this; Twilight sucks, real vampires are a whoooole deal better, at least they're written by someone that ISN'T afraid of such bloody scenes. *coughs* Buuuuuuuut~~
That's not why we're here, are we noaw? *laughs*
Welcome to the site ^^ (yeah, I echo the ones before me) I'm just a member that's crazy, just throw a brick however and it'll be fine...
Hmm, America? awesome, I'm just from plain ol' Belgium. Not one of the biggest countries know to earth... In fact, most ask if Belgium is the Capital of Brussels *snickers* We know, of course, that it's in fact, the opposite.
I'm left handed myself X3 Thehee, I only use my right if I write.... weird, that what Leonardo Da Vinci always did.. yeah, USE THE MIRROR OF DOOM IF I USE MY RIGHTY! XD
I always get confused with the English/American way to write things, so most of the time my spelling is a lovechild between the two, depends really...
*shrug*
Oh well, have fun ^^

I know it's a long time late but I felt like welcoming people that have been here for weeks.
Avoiding jumping on sides in the Twilight argument, I will simply say that I don't understand what the hype about sparkly vampires is, but I haven't read the book, and am a guy, so that may explain it. But my gf is obsessed with Twilight, so I have to put up with it. I'm going to read the book soon so I can pass official judgement.
Oh Klo, I'm also from PA, and yes you did spell PA right. I type about 50+ wpm, my dad used to be a comp programmer, so I grew up on this machine.

/high fives for being from PA/ Ah, nice. My parents have hardly any computer skills, or..at least they have very basic ones, so I basically just learned it over the hours I spend at this computer screen.
