Hi everyone! As you can proooobably tell from the fact that I'm posting an Introduction thread, I'm new here. I thought it might be a good idea to introduce myself to you guys while I wait for my account to be approved. I go by ScribbleSpots, but you can call me Scribble or... pretty much whatever you like, really. XD (SS is... probably not a good idea though, hahaha.)
I'm definitely more a fan of the 101 Dalmatians movies than the series. I think I saw... mayyybeee like five episodes of the TV series growing up? I remember the Christmas one, and I thiiiiiink one where Lucky's horseshoe spots got shaved off and he thought he lost his luck? But beyond that, I don't really remember much. But anyway, Patch and Freckles are my favorite Dalmatians, and I also love Li'l Lightning from Patch's London Adventure. I don't think he deserved what he got, poor guy. XD
You might be able to guess from my username that I like to draw. Buuuuutttt I'm also a horrible perfectionist, and I'm almost never satisfied with anything I make. Soooo I'm not sure how much I'll actually post, heh. I'll see if I can get something up when I have a spare moment, can't promise how good it will be. XD
I do like to roleplay, and it looks like you guys have a pretty active section for that here? So I might try to join in on that with some fan characters I've been working on, if no one minds. I'll probably wait to post their bios until I'm approved, just in case I want to go back and edit things. XD Buuuuttttt I do have an idea for some characters who run a newspaper on the farm that I think could be a lot of fun, if anyone might be interested in being a part of that...? I don't know if that idea has been done before, hope that wouldn't be stepping on anyone's toes!
What else...? Well, I'm super ridiculously awkwardly shy in real life. XD But I'm much more outgoing online and can get along with pretty much anyone, so I'm looking forward to making friends here. =) Since October I've been working as a Library Associate at my local library... basically that means I'm a librarian without a Master's Degree. I help people find books, show them how to do basic things on the computer, lead storytimes (which was TERRIFYING at first, but I'm starting to get the hang of it), and answer customer's questions about anything and everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. XD Want to know the birthday of some obscure celebrity? I can tell you. Want to know what store in the area sells a particular brand of shoes? I can tell you. What to know how to clean your beloved stainless steel pot that's been in your family for generations? I can tell you. People basically treat us as their own personal Google, and it leaves me with a looooot of interesting stories to tell. XD
Let's see, other stuff... Well, I read a lot. Sometimes I try to write, whenever I can get my inner critic to shut up long enough. =P I'm obsessed with Shakespeare and classic literature in general. I like to go hiking when I have the time (I usually don't.) Annnnddd I ramble. I lot. XD
Anyway, I think I've blinded you with walls of text for long enough, so I'll leave it at that. XD Hope to get to know you guys soon! ^_^
