Greetings!

Hello everyone! Some of you know me. Some of you don't. Some of you are probably groaning loudly to see that I am here.

Anywho, my name is Amanda. I'm 29 (almost 30) married, with two children and five cats. I played on here a loooong time ago. Things in my life have gotten to the point where I feel comfortable about committing myself to roleplaying again. And, of course, Emma can be very persuasive.

I'm very rusty on Pern. I should probably reread the books.

Anyway, when I get a mentor, I'll be posting, hopefully, quite a bit. I look forward to writing with all of you!

Hi Amanda, Welcome (back?) to Triad.

Good number of cats, btw. Any pics of them?

Jane · February 15, 2008, 04:05:24 PM

Quilting? I think I have just the location for you!

Amanda N · February 15, 2008, 04:17:26 PM

Really? Where?

I love to quilt!

As for pictures of the cats...http://www.flickr.com/photos/narilia/sets/620033/

The oldest isn't pictured. She's 18. The other three are. The outside cat, Tabitha, is also not pictured. Maybe I'll get pictures of them eventually.

Got time to chat?

What about the riverboats? The women on our riverboats have a tradition of quilting. We'd always welcome another riverboat character or npc.

Ooo...coming on. I'll be off and on since I'm cooking, but if you don't mind that...

Yay for quilting in Pern!!!!

Welcome back! I can't wait to see who you're gonna bring back with you ;)

Amanda N · February 15, 2008, 05:33:47 PM

Thank you.

Japan...oh how I miss Japan! I know it seems odd to say that since I was only there for a week, but I loved it and didn't want to come back! I took Japanese for five and a half years. I miss it! I'm going to try and teach my children and, in the process, reteach myself.

Welcome (back) Amanda!

Your children are adorable!

Looking forward to writing with you.

Welcome, Amanda -- I probably know you from somewhere!

And if you take Jane up on the quilting, we'll be doing a bit of coposting!

Dana · February 16, 2008, 11:20:36 AM

Welcome back!

It's always awesome to see old members returning to play :D

Devin · February 16, 2008, 01:14:58 PM

Welcome back!

Amanda N · February 16, 2008, 02:37:46 PM

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

Vix...I'm already thinking about a character for that area for when I'm able to get a second one!

I know it will be a while, but hey, I can have her ready, right?

Which part of Japan did you visit?

We flew into Tokyo/Narita and stayed with one of my teacher's family. We visited Tokyo the next day, stayed in a hotel, then flew down to Kagoshima the following day.

Once in Kagoshima, we drove through it and down to Makurazaki. We spent three days, two nights there (homestay) and then drove back up to Kagoshima. We flew back to Tokyo/Narita, stayed one more night with my teacher's family and then flew back to the states. I told my mom she should have just given me her credit card and I would have been happy to stay!
