    Greetings/Gr??e/Groetjes!

    Hi, everyone,

    I'm quite new here, having just found it today.. though I know a couple people where (**Waves to Leopatra and MehndiX**). I'm not really new to forums in general, nor VBulletin style, though (as you can see, I already managed to get my own avatar and signature), and I'm familier with BBCode.

    I don't really post a whole lot, but I enjoy reading what other people have to say, and I will add my thoughts and comments when appropriate (I don't like to spread rumors, and I do not like to post about things I don't know, but love to learn).

    Anyway, I guess I should tell a little bit about myself.. I'm female -if you haven't already guessed or saw it in my profile- and I just turned 26 on the 3rd of October. I like to draw and made my avatar. And I enjoy creating/coding webpages as well (HTML, primarily, I'm so boring).
    Eventually, I hope to make my website into an art site, but right now it's just under construction. I have plans for it (frames, a hopefully better colour-scheme, some real content, some art...), but need to actually DO it.

    I'm also a huge fan of languages, though I can only honestly claim to speak one fluently (English, supposedly). I am, however, taking German and have plans for a third language later on (Dutch, which I know a little bit of.. enough to make sense of some Dutch texts, but not enough to get all the details, and I am not capable of speaking anything more than greetings and a brief explanation of where I'm from, where I life and why -which puts my grasp of Dutch higher than my grasp of German. ^.~)

    The reason for learning German first is because I live here in Germany (moved from America to Germany in the end of January of this year), and it will be usefull to speak the language.

    Anyway, that's me. You can call me Marijke, if you wish.

    And, since a lot of you seem to have your own characters, I thought I would add a little bit about my character. She is a white-cheetress (the same genetical fur-colour mutation that makes white-tigers and white-lions), that has tanzanyte or lavender coloured eyes, simply because I love that shade.
    She technically has nothing to do with 'The Lion King', but she could be fit into TLK-based RP's.. I generally kept the character pretty flexible for this purpose, giving her an anthro form and a feral form (which are seperate, she is not capable of morphing between them) with seperate backgrounds.


    BTW, I wanted to compliment the admins on their list of smilies. It's pretty nice to see a forum that uses smilies that are in theme, rather than just the standard ones.

    I don't know Leopatra or MendiX, but welcome to Lea. Seeing as you are no young newbie, I am hoping we won't have to pu down the rules for you!

    Anyway, have fun!

    Our time on this planet is precious, and can be snuffed out at any moment. Every second of every day should mean something.

    Thank you, all, for welcoming me so warmly!

    Leopatra posted in the thread about "TLK Paintings", actually. I don't know how active she and MehndiX are, though, it doesn't look like they post very often.

    KingSimba, I will check out your art. ^.^

    Roquivo, I've been reading the stickies and, of course, the TOS, so hopefully I will not make any mistakes. If I do mess up, however, please just let me know. But, I will try not to get out of line!

    You misunderstand, I know who they are. I just don't know them personally.

    It is just 'Greetings' in English ("Greetings"), German ("Gr??e") and Dutch ("Groetjes"). ^.^

    It can be shortened to Marij or 'Rijke, actually..


    Now, not to make any accusations here, I just want to make this clear because it has come up in the past: No, you cannot shorten it to "Mari" because the "ij" is a combination sound... shortening "Marijke" to "Mari" would be like shortening "Stephen" to "Step".

    Marijke is a Dutch name, BTW, and is pronounced: Mar-EYE-kuh
    (Or, if you speak German, it's pronounced like the German name 'Mareike'.)

    LOL! If you want to...


    EDIT: This is completely unrelated to the above part of this post, but I wanted to mention that I've seen other names I recognise here! IrishKiara, Mamela (Bonnie), and I THINK I know Shatara, but am not positive. There are others too. ^.^
