I shall now take up the opportunity to formally introduce myself to you all, considering the fact that I am new to this forum. I am Richard Wiley (for those of you who wish to refer to your fellow coequals with their actual names) and I come from the Old Dominion state. I have a few skills, I enjoy fabrication such as welding, playing the piano (I play for my church), music composition, and I am intrigued by debate, especially informal. I am currently a member of the PostConLaw community debate forum, where I learned about this place. The most important attribute of mine is that I am a child of God, striving for righteousness, thankful for forgiveness. And that pretty much sums it up, I have a huge amount of little hobbies that I can do, but definitely don't do proficiently.

Welcome, Beo! :D *Gives brownies* I hope you are enjoying your stay here so far. If you have questions, just ask me.

Oh, you're a musician? We have a handful of musicians down in the Arts Guild. Make yourself at home!

Hello, Richard! Welcome to our forums! It's great to have you here with us.

Are you currently writing anything, or not at present? Is fantasy your favourite genre?

I play the piano - rather I did play the piano, but I kind of gave up on that. :D

I know of the PostConLaw, Eli's forum yes? I am a member there also, but I never visit anymore.

Welcome to Holy Worlds! :D

I like music composition, also, though I mostly compose with a guitar.

Welcome, Beowulf! I hope you are blessed by your interactions with the members here. :D
What kind of books do you like to read? What sort of music do you play on the piano?

Welcome to a forum where we're the same rank!!!!! :dieshappy:

I'm so glad to see you over here. You'll love it. The people are so nice.

Wow! You all are quite good at welcoming! Thanks for the warm reception.

I will answer all these questions now:

Thanks Azlyn!

Cool! We oughtta jam, Jonathan!

Hey Elanor! I do indeed remember you, 'cause you are on right now! I am considering a plot, but I am currently not writing anything. My favorite genre is religious exposition, in many cases. However, I think it profitable to retract from that genre and bask in the creativity and total unreality of fantasy and fiction =D

I like to read C.S. Lewis the most, such as his Mere Christianity and Screw Tape Letters. I do enjoy reading other sorts of books though, this are just my favorites. I play pretty much any kind of music, I am a keyboardist, and a classical pianist, though I cannot say that I read sheet music very well.

ELI!!! Thanks for that enthusiastic welcome =D

Yes, I love music ^_^

Cool! I think Lewis is my favorite author...I've only read his Chronicles of Narnia, part of his space trilogy, and listened to Surprised by Joy (one of my favorite books now just for the part of it on 'Joy')--I'm really hoping to listen to or read more of his books soon, until I've ingested them all...then I can start over. ^_^
Cool! I'm not very good at piano, I can read music (well, I have trouble reading it sometimes of course), my main problem is playing it. ;)

Hey, Beowulf! Nice to have you join. How did you find out about us?

Welcomes are enthusiastic around here, so be prepared. :D

Not even the vinegar I abhor so much can stop an incurable, hopeful, romantic like myself...

*raises an eyebrow at Eli's list* I think you need to lay off on the evil thouhts for a while. ;)

Welcome, Richard! Apparently, everyone here has been too busy for glitter. Thus, I feel it is my duty to make this contribution.
*tosses glitter in the air*
Richard! *pitches Richard a glitter bomb* Think fast!

When you open your mouth the angels stop to listen,
The world was not made for anything greater than you,
You were made for something greater than it...

Debates will attract him. He came from my forum of all places. He's actually an HRM there.

I hope you enjoy your stay, however long or short it may be depending on what Eli's evil plan is ;)

God bless,
