i'm not shy around roleplaying forums, so here goes!
hello, there. i'm christina (: and i...

• go by cdawgg, chrissy, chris, or nina.
  
• live the straightedge life and have for eighteen years.
  
• am notorious for using lowercase letters.
  
• am a college student at wilmington university.
  
• am a lifeguard and have cpr lessons a, b, and c.
  
• am pigeon-toed, meaning i walk with my toes in.
  
• want to be a plastic surgeon for burn victims.
  
• will have arthritis from texting someday.
  
• can make my own sushi.
  
• like long walks on the beach. [hint, hint. ahah.]
  
• like using chopsticks to eat chicken nuggets.
  
• have the voice of a twelve year old.

i generally lean toward the realistic eras.
but i'm down for anything if it has a good plot.
though i can't say i like science fiction stuff.
i do enjoy horror and romance though.
all you really need to do it ask. (:

but, ah, i'll be dawdling around the forums now.
thanks for reading (:

Yo dawgg, wassup?

... ... ... /shame

I couldn't resist. ):

Welcome to FOG, Chrissy! For like, two seconds I thought you were someone I knew, just because of the name. But that's me being over general. I think it's awesome that you know CPR and want to help burn victims. I learned CPR and got my license, but I hardly remember how to actually perform it...

[Fate Flyer]

Hey there, cdawgg!

Wow, being a plastic surgeon for burn victims would be an extremely fulfilling job. That's something great to strive towards. I also really envy that you can make your own sushi! *mouth waters* That would be nice. My fiancé has a friend who makes his own sushi too. Lol chopsticks and chicken nuggets. Can't say I've ever seen that. You sound like a cool person.

Have fun here, and if you have any questions or need help with something, don't hesitate to ask!

Now that is a name that I have not heard in a long time. A very long time...

Me neither - so basically, all your life? Very nice.

Welcome to FOG Chrissy (which is what I will call you - either that or Chris - because "cdawgg" coming from the typing fingers of someone as old as me sounds just plain silly.) And as long as the poor capitalization stays in the OOC, it's all good. Wonderful to have you, and I look forward to seeing you around. *grins*

[cdawgg]

thanks a ton for the warm welcomes! (:

it's iiight, lay-baybay!
... yeah, my attempt was just as bad ):

maybe you do know me (: from another site or something. i generally never change my name. ahah. and well, gee, thanks! since i'm a lifeguard, we get our cards updated every month. so the cpr process is pretty routine to me. just remember, when putting on the aed pads, put them in the right spots. (;

i do believe that you were teh one who sent me the invite. i didn't consider joining up until now, so, i'm glad for the warm welcome so many months later! (: mm, sushi is fairly easy to make, you just need the right rice! ...and chopsticks and dinosaur chicken nuggests are the only way to go. seriously.

Now that is a name that I have not heard in a long time. A very long time...

i'll take that as a compliment? (:

yes ma'am! all my life is correct (: and yes yes yes. i can assure you that my lowercase goes to everything but in character threads. i've made sure to type properly with the people i play with (: and chrissy is fine, call me chris if you want to type something shorter. (:

[Guest]

Yeah, it was. I never really expected straightedge to last this long. It's pretty cool that it has.

[cdawgg]

well, thank you then! i pride myself on it, y'know. glad to see it actually gets appreciated every so often. (:

Some of us have been around long enough to understand the history of the movement and appreciate the philosophy beyond mere "don't drink and don't do drugs."

I've lived in the DC area, where it started. I can agree with much of it, even if I'm no edger myself.

[Kathryn Lacey]

Welcome to FoG, Chrissy.

It seems like you're setting some nice goals for yourself in the future. I hope you can stick with them and succeed in achieving them.

You seem like an interesting character, and we're glad to have you to add to our ranks. I hope you enjoy yourself here.

[Ragter the junior greeter]

straightedge...that's where you like, don't do drugs and don't drink, right?

Proud to say that I don't do that either...I mean, why would you want to make yourself dumber like that? :/

ANYWAYS, serious mode off, the fact that you like walks on the beach and that you have the voice of a 12 year old? Must be kinda hard to get dates, huh?

:p Welcome to FOG, in any case.

oh, is that right? ahaha. but i bet you have your nonedger reasons.

dc is a pretty nice place though, so i can see the 'no sex, drugs or alcohol' thing starting there. well, maybe not so much the sex thing since it's bound to happen everywhere. but you get what i mean.

i sure do hope i can stick to them also; i'm going to be getting very large holes in my pockets with tuition, y'see. but it'll pay off in the end, i'm sure.

thank you very much for the warm welcome. i look forward to getting very involved in the community! (:

well, in my knowledge, it's 'no drugs, drinking, smoking, or sex'. so, hah. yeah. but, yay for our above the influence lifestyles! (:

tch, tell me about it. it's so hard to find a northern boy who appreciates my twelve-year-old voice. i feel so underappreciated! [le sigh.] and the beach is about an hour and a half away from me since my family and i go to the beaches in new jersey. most boys, surpsingly, don't like roadtrips.

bah, who needs 'em? i like my voice no matter what (:

I never heard of the no sex bit, but straightedge started as a rejection of the 1970's and 1980's commercial excess of disco, which included copious consumption of drugs, alcohol and fashion victimhood, so I can see casual sex being a no-no, as that was also part of the era. But, above all, it's a rejection of the corruptive influences of consumer society at large, and a philosophy of staying healthy and keeping your mind from getting fogged over by addiction and so forth. It's not just about what you do, but why you do it. It's about not conforming and taking responsibility for yourself.

It's also about strength of will, something society seems to chisel away at.

As it stands, there's a lot of societal pressure to have sex casually and have a lot of it as a status thing in many ways, and straightedge has a very strong line on resisting that sort of influence and not letting those sorts of things form your basis for judgment.

Ian MacKay wrote the song that started it after a friend died from an OD, and decided to attack at the root causes of societal pressure that could eventual lead to drug use -- he always was heavily anti-commercial, as his subsequent career confirms.

Like I said, there's lots to admire in the whole philosophy. I always thought it taught the virtue of abstention without the moral hypocrisy that many religions throw in-- it justifies that abstention for the benefits, not merely because one is following the rules, much as Stoicism justifies self-control overall in very utilitarian terms, rather than just making self-responsible behavior a commandment or something.

So yeah, straightedge is a modern philosophy with lots of good company and I always respected it.

yeah! what he said! though, i didn't know all the background information until now, so, thanks for that bit. (:

*Feels like he is tainting this thread with his very presence.*

But I'll give an intro anyways, to the straight edger. *Ahem*

Ohayo gozaimasu. It's technically 1:00am here, so this was the closest greeting I could do.

Ogenki desu ka? I am taking Japanese lessons (hopefully) this term. What fun!

Though, I believe it is time for some wacky tom foolery.

HEEEEEELLLLLOOOOOO C Dawgg. I assume the double G stands for a generous giving of your roleplaying. (Points for getting this reference). I hope your enjoying a whirlwind tour of my labyrinth our forums. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll escape again... IN A HUNDRED YEARS! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

*Turns into lightening and disappears (More points for this reference.)*

Welcome to the boards, bookworm!

[Ragter the junior greeter]

I'm a bookworm too Dio

God, I never mentioned a lot of stuff about me in my intro thread...

Anyways..yeah, don't mind Dio, ma dawg, he's just crazy.

Welcome to the boards, bookworm!

arigato gozaimasu. (:

genki desu! :3 ... anata wa ikaga? i took a japanese course in high school, only one though since i transferred out of my last year of high school before the second semester. and then i wound up taking a french class at my new school. lousy school admins.

oh, you got me. i thought my double gee would surely throw everyone here for a loop... but you're a sharp one ;D totally saw through it. ...you know. i feel like i know you from somewhere D: but i only really know two people on this site.

I'm a bookworm too Dio

God, I never mentioned a lot of stuff about me in my intro thread...

Anyways..yeah, don't mind Dio, ma dawg, he's just crazy.

ahh, i don't mind. it's new, i like it. (: you obviously didn't mention a lot of things about you 'cause you're mysterious, right? riiiight? power to the bookworms! ...and the straightedge. (: or something. heh.

[Ragter the junior greeter]

You like crazy people? That might explain a lot..

Yes, I am mysterious, I even wear a robe that obscures most of my face and cackle maniacally for no real reason at all.

[cdawgg]

crazy is good. well, the fun kind of crazy. the mentally crazy... erm. can't say i like it as much.

but maybe you should start saying 'zetta' with everything you say to people in public instead. i can't see you as a hooded/cloaked figure. plus, it would make you ten times more mysterious. [nods.] because i definitely peeked at your signature and the world ends with you is just that amazing, ya'know?

though, personally, rhyme was my favorite. (: she was sooo cuuuute.

[capt. savaho]

I know you.....
anyways, welcome.

[Ragter the junior greeter]

Rhyme was zetta cute...probably is my second favorite character, with Joshua as the third

You dig, zetta dawg?

[Tempest]

What is with you and Zetta!?

Yo Cdawwwwwwg! Welcome to FOG! If you have any questions, don't be shy to approach the staff with your questions!

Now go have a blast!

[Dio the Awesome]

I thought I knew you as well Cdawgg, and I would have known if, except for you location. Unless you lied about it and you really live in Alberta. *Stares suspiciously*.

Oh, and genki desu, arigatoo.

(Oh, and I had to look up the meaning of ikaga. I knew anata though. I feel bad for my lack of Japanese skillz.)

[capt. savaho]

~Na`no`na`gies`taso!
at least i think that's how it's said.....
and if not, well then....Na'Frugen De'Nia No'Friga!

[cdawgg]

I know you..... :shock:
anyways, welcome. :)

a... and i know you! caaappp'nnnn. you make the third person i know here! you should be honored, yeah? [squeals.] :3

Rhyme was zetta cute...probably is my second favorite character, with Joshua as the third :)

You dig, zetta dawg?

joshua was aiiiighhhtttt ~ neku is where it was really at. but i wished they put him in a green or blue outfit, purple is so not manly. =P joshua was a funny character but i hated his card combo thingie. i actually had to stare at the ds screen for his combos, y'know. but they weren't as bad as beat's. boooo, beat! boooo!

i only liked shiki for her stuffed cat combo. otherwise, she was just kinda obnoxious. she was always on neku's case and i got excited when he almost ended her [shifty eyes] is that mean? …but i zetta dig.

What is with you and Zetta!? :shock:

Yo Cdawwwwwwg! Welcome to FOG! If you have any questions, don't be shy to approach the staff with your questions!

Now go have a blast! :P

i'm having a blast already, thanks (: the people here are really nice... and surprisingly social. i didn't think people were this welcoming.

I thought I knew you as well Cdawgg, and I would have known if, except for you location. Unless you lied about it and you really live in Alberta. *Stares suspiciously*.

Oh, and genki desu, arigatoo.

(Oh, and I had to look up the meaning of ikaga. I knew anata though. I feel bad for my lack of Japanese skillz.)

ah, yes. i'm in alberta, dio. (: in fact, i'm staring at you while you sit in your rolly chair at the computer desk and read this very message. the back of your head looks phenomenal. [coughs.]

:3 do itashimashite! and don't even worry about it! i don't know much japanese to strike a conversation. i know how to introduce myself, do simple greetings, ask/cry for help, and ask for english! the basic things to survive in japan. [cackles.]

[Dio the Awesome]

I can tell you, you don't want to get lost in Japan! So scary! ;o;

My friend and I managed to 'ask' where Yokohama station was, and from there we found our house. They must have thought we were crazy white people, running around in the hot sun. --_--

when i was a baby, i lived there for a year. since my grandpa was serving in the military and all. but i was too small to go anywhere, really. grandpa did all the talking, too, ahaha. so i really can't imagine getting lost there. though, i bet it's not fun at all. i feel bad for you and your friend, especially treading around under the hot hot hot suuunnn.

maybe they had other reasons to believe you were crazy white folk, though, ne?

[Dio the Awesome]

Hai hai.... --_--

Watashi wa baka desu.

[cdawgg]

daijoubou! daijoubou! daijoubou!
[pats dio on the head.]

i'm sure you were young and reckless!?

[Ragter the junior greeter]

What's this zetta japanese you're saying, man?

Oh, and yeah...it's not bad that you were excited when Shiki was almost ended, she was a bit of a..well, you know, at the start.
