4. What's the one thing that makes you most proud of your Regiment? (or the the Band if you don't have a Regiment yet) So far everyone I've met are a funny bunch. Happy to be a part of it.


 


5. Have you read all of the WoT books or only some and which did you enjoy most? *will end up on Dice's list* Only some, and my favorite so far has been Eye of the World, because it is the one I've reread the most.


 


6. We're all about the music in the Band, pick 3 tracks that tell me something about you and your personality. 


Do I disappoint you - Rufus Wainwright


Make your own kind of music - Mama Cass Elliot


Tir n'a noir - Vamp


 


7. Orange is an evil colour and must be banned. (Please sign and date this statement in blood. (Not necessarily your own.)) I had orange hair as a kid.. are you trying to tell me I'm evil??


 


8. When we're not being all about the music, we're wandering these fair lands of ours. A travelling we will go etc. a) If you could visit 1 country, where would it be and why? b) What one item would you absolutely have to take with you on your travels?


a) Australia, because it's on the other side of the world, I understand the language, and I have a bunch of online friends who I'm dying to meet :)


b) My diary!


 


9. What are your best memories of your time in the Band to date? Joining!


 


10. Describe one goal that you've met or achieved over the last 12 months. Doesn't matter how small or how big, just something that's a personal achievement and it can be as a Bander or in normal life...your choice. I stopped taking pills for my depression and I'm doing good!

Are you trying to tell me you're not?! lol But seriously, hair doesn't count. You can't be held responsible for your genetic make up. Massive congrats on the achievement, it's one I can relate to and I know exactly how big a deal that can be. :smile:

Oh it doesn't effect Band promotions lol. This is my personal point scoring/tallying system. What the effects of that are you only get to learn over time. :happy:

Well, you could try to convince Brid of that but I suspect she'd laugh in your face. :wink:

 

 

That and she'd probably take points away.

 

 

^^These!  :biggrin:

 

I'll get to these questions later after work.  Nice to have you around Sis.  :wink::laugh:

1. How long have you been in the Band? July 2006 with a couple year hiatus

 

2. Tell me the most important thing I should know about you.  That I love you?  :wink:   Hmmmm....what don't you already know?  Huh....let me get back to you on that one.  Oh, that I will probably be arrested one day for stalking Tom Hiddleston.  *nods*

 

3. Share one fact about yourself that I wouldn't be able to pick up from simply reading the boards.  That I am in love with Tom Hiddleston?  I have performed surgeries.

 

4. What's the one thing that makes you most proud of your Regiment? (or the the Band if you don't have a Regiment yet) Ummm well, I technically don't have a regiment anymore.  What makes me the most proud of the Band is the way it has become a true, cohesive Band.  Everyone gets along, it's great. 

 

5. Have you read all of the WoT books or only some and which did you enjoy most?  Nope, haven't read them all  *ducks from Dice*  And I'm a bit off of them so can't really pick a favorite.  Probably EotW.

 

6. We're all about the music in the Band, pick 3 tracks that tell me something about you and your personality.  Huh...  They're coming to take me away, You are my Sunshine, Someone like you

 

7. Orange is an evil colour and must be banned. (Please sign and date this statement in blood. (Not necessarily your own.)) Of course orange is an evil color!  Purple is the bestest color!!  *signs Bridmorgan February 25, 2015 in Horn's blood*

 

8. When we're not being all about the music, we're wandering these fair lands of ours. A travelling we will go etc. a) If you could visit 1 country, where would it be and why? b) What one item would you absolutely have to take with you on your travels?  Scotland, to see my dear Sis!  Since I can't take a human...I would have to take a straight jacket so I can run to London and kidnap Tom.  :tongue:   What one thing would I have to take....a camera.  I can live without the phone, I just need pics!

 

9. What are your best memories of your time in the Band to date?  I remember this one RR when I was a RR who decided to hide from another regiment during her RR time.  I don't know if I can remember who that person was.  My bandings, especially to Tay, Manny, DJ and Dice.  There are so many!!  Getting Aragorn from my bro and sis...Becoming a Knight, then a Paladin.  Most posts by Footy....LOL  Cat Craps in the Sandbox... Oppenheimer... pretty much any trouble Tay and I got in.  Straith's cows.  Wilson...I guess I could keep going, but I'll stop now.  *winks*

 

10. Describe one goal that you've met or achieved over the last 12 months. Doesn't matter how small or how big, just something that's a personal achievement and it can be as a Bander or in normal life...your choice.  Huh...can't come up with one right now.  Guess I'll have to think about this one a bit more.  *nods*

 

There they are...some serious, some silly.  I'll let you decide which are which.  :laugh:

1. How long have you been in the Band?

 

I joined DM mid-2001. I was 11 years old. So naturally, I hung out in the Debates/Discussions board. (Frell my life choices.) There were these things called "ORGs" (*cough*That'sWhatWeCalledSocialGroupsAndItTotallyWasNotAnEntirelyDifferentEraISwear*coughs*) but by the time I was looking to join them, the band had collapsed and didn't exist as an ORG. Then there was this guy called Corki and he was trying to whip the Band back up into ORG status. So I "joined" this Band before it officially existed, but after the old one. Whenever that was.

 

2. Tell me the most important thing I should know about you.

 


 

3. Share one fact about yourself that I wouldn't be able to pick up from simply reading the boards.

 

I am a misanthrope.

 

4. What's the one thing that makes you most proud of your Regiment? (or the the Band if you don't have a Regiment yet)

 

We can walk without animals to carry us (unlike the cavalry), and we can walk far enough to make it to the enemy (unlike the archers)... and ironically, they call us the Infants. *snorts*

 

5. Have you read all of the WoT books or only some and which did you enjoy most?

 

tEotW was best. I haven't read the last three, because I need to re-read the series at this point... and I dread reading past tEotW.

 

6. We're all about the music in the Band, pick 3 tracks that tell me something about you and your personality.

 

 I'll avoid my go-to Jim Croce/Eagles/Don Henley because I always use those These will change all the time but...

 

Any three Shinedown songs would work:

 


 

Also love Silent Comedy, don't look for a fun time with them though.

 


 

I always said this one would be my theme song:

 


 

And because I can cheat...

 


 

I'm kinda eclectic.

 

7. Orange is an evil colour and must be banned. (Please sign and date this statement in blood. (Not necessarily your own.)) 

 

It's OK Horn. I still love you. <3

 

8. When we're not being all about the music, we're wandering these fair lands of ours. A travelling we will go etc. a) If you could visit 1 country, where would it be and why? b) What one item would you absolutely have to take with you on your travels?

 

I would want to visit countries that do not exist anymore. I'm really not all the interested in other countries in a contemporary sense, especially with the onset of global networks  like the internet. Sure, the real thing is always a larger experience (although not always a good one), but it doesn't quite capture me like visiting the Holy Roman Empire during the reign of Henry IV and sitting in on him penning some of his letters to the Papacy. I half imagine him giggling with maniacal glee as he wrote some of those scathing replies... but I really hope he didn't... because that would make him crazy. And it would probably ruin my trip. Not that the subsequent turmoil wouldn't. And I would definitely take working internet with me. And a computer. And I totally wouldn't be executed for being a wizard. Shut up.

 

9. What are your best memories of your time in the Band to date?

 

Umm, that time I got a spotfine. Umm... that time I got a spotfine for breaking every rule in a single post?

 

10. Describe one goal that you've met or achieved over the last 12 months. Doesn't matter how small or how big, just something that's a personal achievement and it can be as a Bander or in normal life...your choice.

 

I finished this post in time for 3 hours of sleep before I start a 10 hour shift at work. Woo!

 

Edit for spelling. I'm sleepy, and even after my edits, I bet people can still only read every other sentence. ...And my lovely, dearest, most wondrous x key doesn't like working.

 I remember Dah well, he was an Infant after all. How's he doing these days?  :smile:  Points deducted for number 7 and for using the wrong colour of pen. :tongue: Well done on getting all A's, must have been really proud of yourself!

 

Nice to have you around Sis.  :wink::laugh:

Thanks, sis. :blush:  I missed you *hugs*.

 

What sort of stuff do you sell?

I work with natural fabrics and fibres; mainly wool but also cotton, linen, alpaca, silk, cashmere, bamboo etc. and make gifts, collectibles, homewares. Everything from wash cloths to cushion covers and scarves to afghan blankets. I do felting (needle and wet), crochet, knitting, spinning, dyeing, cross stitch, embroidery. Also make a range of resin pendants using recycled vintage maps. :smile:

2. Awww, loves you too. :happy: I see the Tom obsession is alive and well lol.

6. lol at the first track. Cute at the second track. Is that last one the Adele song? I like basically everything she does.

7. Exalts! Or I would if there was a relevant button lol. Many extra points.

8. Triple points :biggrin:

9. An RR did that? :ohmy:  How....bratty. *smirks* Footy's posts made me laugh every time and his impromptu Sword Form invention was one of the best lol. Do you remember Monty? My Shetland pony? lmao

4. Plus 3000 points.

6. You weren't kidding about the fun time with that track. :excl:  Rather grim but strangely good.

7. Minus 2999 points. >.>

9. I doubt anyone could forget that :rolleyes: , it was pretty epic.

10. Ouch... not that I haven't done it many times myself.

 

Plus 57 points for using red once and 7 points for variety. It would have been 10 but ... orange.

I need to do something to lose 53 points! I could pull Tay's hair but I'm pretty sure that'd lose me more than 53 points... I could kick Brid in the shins, but she hasn't ever done anything to me. I COULD agree with Dice about something--but that's really just crossing the line. Curse this arbitrary scoring system!  :ph34r:

 

Wait! I think I have it!

 

Aberdeen needs to learn how to kick a football, Tay!

1. How long have you been in the Band?  Brid and I joined right about the same time in August 2006, she was maybe a week ahead of me.

 

2. Tell me the most important thing I should know about you. That I don't share the important things easily or with many people.

 

3. Share one fact about yourself that I wouldn't be able to pick up from simply reading the boards.

 

Spidders_zpsxvdximdi.jpg

 

4. What's the one thing that makes you most proud of your Regiment? That against all the odds, it's still going. Been a close thing in recent times but it's hanging on in there. Says a lot about the people who have made and do make it what it is.

 

5. Have you read all of the WoT books or only some and which did you enjoy most? I've read all of them except aMoL, including New Spring and the BWB. It's been a while though and I need to re-read from the beginning. I didn't bother to do it before the last couple of books and it was a big mistake. However, the prospect of reading them all again is daunting and time consuming so I keep putting it off.

 

6. We're all about the music in the Band, pick 3 tracks that tell me something about you and your personality.

7. Orange is an evil colour and must be banned. (Please sign and date this statement in blood. (Not necessarily your own.)) TAY 27/02/15 :tongue:@ Horn

 

8. When we're not being all about the music, we're wandering these fair lands of ours. A travelling we will go etc. a) If you could visit 1 country, where would it be and why? b) What one item would you absolutely have to take with you on your travels? Canada. I have family over there but have only met 4 of them when they came to Scotland back in the early 90's. I've stayed in touch on and off but then about a year ago, a cousin from another branch found me. It was an unexpected pleasure when we really clicked over our joint interest in family history. I'd like to meet him and his son along with my other cousins and see my Aunts and Uncles again. (Naturally I'd like to go meet all my bandeds/bondeds/adopteds but that would cover multiple continents, never mind countries.)

 

I'd take a memory journal and glue stick (they come as a set so 1 item  :tongue: ) with me to record my travels because I keep things like travel tickets and a journal lets me mix up items like that with actual photos or postcards.

 

9. What are your best memories of your time in the Band to date? i) My bandings. All of them. Always. ii) Being made Infantry CG for the first time. Of all the Staff positions I held, it meant most to me. iii) Being awarded the Matrim for Best Bander iv) Many fantastic Org Game battles v) Some absolutely outrageous RA Trials.

 

Really, as Brid said, too many to mention.

 

10. Describe one goal that you've met or achieved over the last 12 months. Doesn't matter how small or how big, just something that's a personal achievement and it can be as a Bander or in normal life...your choice. Well, I have two. The first is somewhat of an ongoing achievement but I finally quit smoking back in May 2012 after many failed attempts, and I'm incredibly pleased with myself because I didn't use any quitting aids. I never looked back...almost 3 years with no lapse.

 

The second would be setting up my own business over the last 17 months, all official-like, and getting off State benefits. It's really hard work and long hours but I love what I do. The sense of accomplishment and the opportunity to develop my skills has been like growing wings.

OI OI OI OI !!!!  :ohmy:  They won their last match 3-0 I'll have you know. Minus 53 points! :blink:

Do you even know what these points are for?  Cause I have....2940.

 

 

Isn't it fun? *giggles*

 

I can't answer that without potentially losing more points that I want too! :ohmy:  :wacko:
