I'm the very new person that will wandering around a bit lost so I figured I should be polite and introduce myself.

I go by the name Mai from a role playing character of mine. I currently live in Atlanta. I enjoy reading,gaming and artwork. I've read several OSC books. Ender's Shadow is my favorite.

I was told about this board quite a few times by Billie and since she'd occasionally giggle at something that was said or remark on an interesting thread, my curiosity drug me over here. So maybe I'm hopelessly nosey. Anyway, You can credit or blame her how you see fit.

Hi Mai [Wave]

If you fall in love with us now, it can be a Mai/September romance.

OK. Sorry.

I used to live in Atlanta, and I went to Emory U. What do you do there?

Welcome aboard, and have fun,

Your Shvester,

Esther

Woot, great to see you posting [Big Grin]

. Perhaps I should do more of that...

In any case, welcome to hatcrack! And yes, I shamelessly plug this site too [Big Grin]

Hi there! Welcome to Hatrack. [Smile]

We have quite a few people in the Atlanta area, so if you end up deciding we're not scary there will probably be a gathering or two around you every year.

LOL! Hurray for romance! [Wink]

Currently I do very little for monetary gain. I was laid off from Bill Heard Chevrolet where I was an admin, before that I worked at a candle store that went out of business and before that I worked as a technician at Sprint...where I was laid off after three years.

None of the lay offs were personal so I don't dwell on it much, though I do miss the paycheck. My father died last year and my grandfather a year before that. So...we have two houses in Alabama to get fixed up in order to be sold. My mother is kindly footing my up keep at the moment so that I can make frequent trips back and forth.

Mostly I do some work around the house, admittedly less than I should, and work on artwork and forums. There are a few classes I'd like to take at Kennesaw University in the fall.

Emory is a very neat place. I hope you enjoyed your time in Atlanta. [Smile]

Oh. I have a brother-in-law who professes there.

Hi Mai, I live in Woodstock, I'm also pretty new and don't know the other Hatrackers in the area, but welcome!

*Waves* I used to live in Acworth [Smile]

That area is growing so fast!

And since you're new, welcome to you too! [Smile]

I wrote a story with a character called Mai in it once [Big Grin]

.

Welcome!

Welcome to Hatrack, Mai! [Smile]

And look, you got ladyday to start posting again. [Big Grin]

Posted by Mai (Member # 8604) on :

Woohoo! I'm good for something! Thank you for the warm welcome [Smile]

Yay for Mai's! I thought it was a nice name.

I picked Mai for its meaning for both my character and my screen name. It means "bright" in Japanese which was much better than the last name I went by which was Maewyn or just Mae, which according to various name sites derives from Mary which means "bitterness".

I'm probably not always bright but hopefully I'm bitter far less often.

I live in Atlanta, during the summer and Christmas vacation... Well, it still counts.

I'm glad you introduced yourself!
