Introduce Yourself!

[Starline]

You know who I am.

YAY!!

[Sleepwalker]

I'm 28 and in possession of a degree in creative writing and have yet to really do much with it. My fiance and I have three kitties (who range from mildly stupid to one that we're not sure if her brain remembers how to make her breathe) and are going to be doing a cross country move as soon as he's done with the army. I used to have a job making the stinky tress that people feel the need to hang in their cars but quit my job and am now an unemployed bum.

I also play the SIMS way too much.

[gangler]

Damn, the SIMS. I don't even touch that vile tonic anymore. So addictive you can't pick it up without suddenly finding you've gone a week without sleep and missed Christmas.

I mean, I've played a lot of videogames and experienced a whole lot of obsession, but the SIMS is just crazy. Eats you alive. Think it might nibble on your soul a little bit every time you play it. Surprised you can even maintain a romantic relationship if that's your vice. Makes WoW look like sugar where SIMS is the crack.

[Sleepwalker]

He plays WoW...maybe that has something to do with it. We're usually gaming in the same room, just not playing the same thing.

But I know what you mean about losing track of time. I couldn't sleep in college one night and booted up the SIMS 2 around 3am figuring I'd just play until I got tired. The next time I looked at a clock it was after 7 when I got up for the bathroom. I still wasn't tired and kept playing until a friend knocked on my door after noon and asked me if I wanted to go to brunch. I had been playing for almost 9 hours so I figured it was time to get away from the computer.

[gangler]

Yeah, you do that one too many times and eventually you're just not someone who sleeps at night anymore. It's coming up on seven in the morning right now where I live and I've probably got another four or five hours left before I crash for the night. I've got no reason to be up at this hour. I'm doing nothing that couldn't be done during daylight, though I suppose the sun has risen. Just doesn't even occur to me that nighttime would be a time for sleeping anymore.

I think the most inconvenient situation I find myself in at school is when there's some last minute problem in communications that requires me to be e-mailing the teacher around noon. I'm sitting there like it's time to get to sleep but I can't, because saying you didn't catch the e-mail on time because you were sleeping isn't considered a valid excuse at three in the afternoon. Three in the morning is a great time to be missing e-mails. At three in the morning I've generally been working for eight hours and have another eight ahead of me before I crash for the night. Such a diurnal-centric society though that it doesn't even matter that at three in the afternoon I've generally been sleeping for four or five hours and have another three or four before I'm rested and ready to start the day.

... but yeah. Long story short I totally know what it's like to just push a game late into the night and not even realize you should be tired. If I had a nickel for every time I've had to go do something after an all-nighter (or whatever the accurate term is at the time. 24 hours without sleep) I could probably cover the first and last month's rent on a comfortable apartment.

The SIMS in particular was a blast that way. I'm not even sure how many of my memories of the game actually happened and how many were mad fever dreams. That's a special brand of addictive right there

Hi. I'm Freya, New Zealander and wishing devoutly I had the guts to dye my hair pink like Candi.

[Tamarisk]

Aloha! I'm hawaiian, born and raised now living in Texas with my boyfriend. I've been following Candi for several years now after stumbling on the webcomic while waiting for others to update. ^_^

[darkito16]

Heyo everyone!

I'm Darko, a History Degree student of Madrid (Spain) with the idea of being a teacher some day. I don't have much to tell about me: i like comics, videogames, reading, manganime stuff, history (thums up if youn are studing what you like) and philosophy.

Well, i discover Candi thanks to his link in Menage a 3 a year ago. I find it interesting so i start reading it from then.

I think that's all. Bye people.

[Thenodrin]

Hello, everyone.

I'm known online as Thenodrin. That's the user name I have used at pretty much every online forum, social network, whathaveyou since I first got connected to the Internet back in the early-mid 90s.

IRL name is Victor Long. I'm a writer and editor. I mostly write role playing games and am the lead editor of Fellowship of the White Star, which is a D20 skill-based semi-historical game. I've got a few short stories and essays over at LiveJournal, but haven't posted there in almost 6 months.

If anyone is interested in connecting to me on FaceBook, here is the link. Most of my posts are either personal life updates, political views, hobbies, etc. I occasionally post links to webcomics I like, but not often. http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php? ... 0395122438

I hope to contribute to the forum often.

[Octobrex]

Hello!

I'm a long time reader, and first time poster!
(Though I do lurk the forums a lot as well!)

I'm a wife, and stay at home mom of one boy (for now!) I like to knit, and bake and sew. I read as many webcomics as time allows. I play on gaia online (Username Octobre_Flowre if you're interested!) I did have aspirations of being a graphic designer, but once I had my little one I realized that it's more important to me that my kidlets have a parent at home, but I'm by no means out of the game;the rules of engagement changed on my goal a bit.

I suppose anything else you'd like to know would come with time!

[Unenvarjo]

Hello all,

first time poster, long time reader (okay, I commented on a comic thread before this thread, but anyways).

I'm a single dad from Finland, working full time in the IT industry, writing science fiction the rare occasions I have some spare time. My interest in Candi has been it's pretty style as well as the relationship issues that the comic lays out for the characters. As character development has been a usual weakness in my stories, I have followed this comic on that regard with great interest and finding them sometimes even mirroring my own experiences. I read plenty of other webcomics to draw inspiration of and to entertain myself.

[khushi]

Hello, I'm Khushi! I'm a college student from NYC, studying biology and a semester away from graduating. I have been following Candi Comics since the summer and have only decided to recently give the forums a go.

[FPilot]

Somehow I missed doing this before, but really I was active on at least two previous CANDI forii.

Came this way via FAANS! and ALICE! and IT'S WALKY! and COLLEGE ROOMIES FROM HELL!!! and probably others.

[Eastern Katt]

Hello everyone. I’m Eastern Katt (for now~), I hail from Poland. I’m second year biotechnology student and I love manga/anime stuff (haven’t had enough time for it recently, though), DDR, American comics, Pokemon games and so on.
I try to draw something from time to time, but it mostly turns out awful.

My friend introduced me to Candi Comcs about year ago and even though I wasn’t very hyper about entire idea at first, I soon became attached to story and some of characters. Now I’m addicted^_^.

I decided to register on this forum, because my English has became a little rusty recently (sorry for all mistakes in advance) and I hope that posting in this language will help me to keep it on fair level.

[Mythos]

Hey there!

Star knows me from way back. Just a little G8OLD1 here. Writer, so hopefully, I'll be putting out a little Candi Fanfiction. Photographer and lover of all things beautiful, which is why I read Candi.
