I am Hlaoroo. I'm from Down Under (or Up Top as we like to call it). I don't like shrimp (or prawns as we Aussies say) on the barbie - in fact I don't like seafood at all. However I am a huge fan of all creatures great and small as is evidenced by my current enrollment in veterinary school.
I particularly like Australia's native fauna as well as dogs, ferrets and rabbits. I'm a huge bookworm and I don't usually like comics, however I've made an exception for Housepets - after all, who wouldn't?

Welcome Hlaoroo!
Haven't read Watership Down in a few years. I should probably pull that out again.
Glad you've come to join us.

True words indeed =P
Welcome to the forum Hlaroo (HLaroo? HIaroo?)! I'm sure you'll find the members here to be some of the nicest people you'll find anywhere on the inter-webs. Hope you enjoy your stay!

Welcome, Hlaoroo. Nice to meet ya. I see that you like the Eragon series.

I wondered how many people would know where my name was from. Watership Down is my favourite book so you should definitely pull it out again!

It's HLaoroo. It means "Pipkin" or "small depression such as that made by a daisy in which dew can collect" in Lapine, the language of the rabbits in Watership Down.

I do indeed! Aside from Watership Down they are my favourite books. I've actually just bought a shirt with the quote in my signature on it.

i don't have much to say except that i like writing fan fic's but most of the time i don't post them...its a shame really...

Oh, cool! Do you mind showing us what it looks like?

Hey, lasthunter. Why do you not post your fanfics?

Welcome!

Don't be afraid. Just post 'em!

Welcome Hlaoroo and lasthunter!

@Hlaoroo: Woo, go Australia! I like prawns but I don't think I've ever had them grilled or BBQ'd. Good luck with veterinary school! Check out the Reading Discussion thread if you ever want to discuss books.

@lasthunter: So do you feel shame that you don't post your fan fics or do you not post your fan fics out of shame? Seriously though, you'll probably never find a better group of people to get friendly advice from, go nuts!

hi guys , welcome you all , hope to randomly bump into you around here <3
*look at Nyaliva's reply for lasthunter*
"So do you feel shame that you don't post your fan fics or do you not post your fan fics out of shame?"
.....yes ! ( )

Ahm .. Hi every one. I'm Cherry!
This is kinda one of my first times ever being on a forum so please be nice to me ?
Im from Texas but currently living in Canada with my family -- Stay at home mom with a tiny kiddo that is still very dependent on me.
im..Im kinda not really sure what to say here. but im really looking forward to meeting and talking to all of you!

Hi cherry (cherry ? that fruit they put on top of the ice cream cup ? that cherry? )
don't worry everyone here is very nice so you generally don't have to worry about that , though recently I've been hearing some scary stories about a squirrel that will come out and throw acorns at anyone who breaks the rule , even the none-written one like " do not scare new members with scary stories".....
...huh.....
*run away*

Hi Cherry! Don't worry, forums are fun once you get into them.

Yeah I heard about that. He sounds like a bit of a jerk.

Don't worry he's actually a good guy...what? No I'm not just saying that so he won't throw acorns at me! Please don't throw acorns at me...

@McFly: I got it here: http://shurtugal.spreadshirt.com/
It's about 2/3 of the way down the page. =)

@Nyaliva: Thanks, I'll check it out. And thanks for the luck-wishing.

Hey, Cherry! I like your name!

Thanks you guys, i feel so much better now about meeting you all ....

but now im kind of scared about running into squirrels....
OH GOD ITS STARING FROM OUTSIDE MY WINDOW!!!

Green Squirrel is watching you!

And not only you.

HE'S EVERYWHERE! HE'S EVERYWHERE!

But there are no squirrels here to be afraid of!

But the Squirrel has laser eyes. o_O

*runs back into hiding

Ahhhhh!! Squirrel! ...I didn't tell them anything! *peewww!*

*goes missing.

Yep. I'm new on the forums.

Anyway, my name is Spens. I've been following the comics since early 2010, and I'd have to say so far my favorite arc so far is the 2012 Christmas arc with Bailey and King. It takes a lot to make a man shed tears of 'D'awwwwww!'

Wilkomenn! You have been following this much longer than I have. Be sure not to miss the upcoming arc where I go to crash the wedding!

Welcome, Spens, from a fellow old-school fan!

Welcome Spens!
I wish I had've known about the comic back then! Still, I've enjoyed every moment of it since. Enjoy the forums!

Hey all. I'm Gabe, I adore almost all animals, and have a passion for video games.I just discovered house pets 4 days ago so I'm pretty new and stuff. I'm a pretty friendly guy and hope to see you all soon.

Toodles.

Almost all animals? *throws leeches at Gabe* Welcome to the forum! It's great to have you here!

Thanks Sleet. I think leeches are like the friend that always mooches off of you and gives nothing in return, That's how I've always thought of them at least. Special in their own weird way.

Its really nice to meet you Gabe 8D
ahm ... *offers tweezers for your new leechy-Friends* ^ ^;;

Hey Gabe! Welcome to the forums! King and Peanut are two of my favourite characters too!

Welcome! Enjoy the bloodsucking parasites! Oh, and the leeches too.

Welcome, Spens.
You've been following this comic a heck of a lot longer than I have. I found this comic back in mid-2011.

Welcome to the forums, Gabe.

Need some help with those leeches?

*pries leeches from body*

At least your humors are in balance now!

What century are you from ?

If I had to guess I'd say the 14th.

Welcome, Gabe54125, Cherry, Spens and anyone else I missed.
You guys will have to go back through archives. There's some great comics in there! I especially love the one where Peanut tries to wake Grape "quietly".

By the way, McFly, I'm guessing you're a fellow "Back To The Future" fan?

Welcome, Hlaoroo! Love your username! I recognized it the moment I saw it! Pipkin's my favorite character from the book and the original movie!

I'm Michael--nice to meet you!

I just finished the comic yesterday and all I have to say is amazing.

Hey, lasthunter. Why do you not post your fanfics?[/quote]

i have to guess that i never really get around to completing them, im always suffering from setbacks like the fact that my 98 just died and my 02 got killed by a power surge and i lost my back up usb.... set backs...

Best of luck to you Sleet
