Greetings all...

I thank you for your voices, thank you,
Your most sweet voices.
               -Shakespeare

So many of you have introduced yourselves and I am pleased indeed to make the
acquaintances of those who inhabit a.r.c...

Clare...

> I'm clare, I'm hail from Auckland, New Zealand, and am madly in love
> with a guy called Edouard (so the rest off you can just keep your
> hands off him :-). When hanging around the castle, I'm Eowyn, a
> fearsome warrior who is in love with Dark Knight (*no* relation to
> Edouard). 
> clare

Thank you for the welcome and prompting so many other introductions...
Congratulations on your love for Edouard... I will keep my hands off him...

Sarah...

> Greetings, kind sir.  I welcome you to ARCland, and humbly present myself to 
> you as Sarah, the Official Strawberry of the RFA (more commonly found to be 
> Chocolate-covered these days....)

I will do my best to locate your Strawberry Fields one of these days...

Puter...

> Uh, well...   I'm Puter. In real life I work in Nashville, so ya might
> see me with a "Suthun" accent. Around here, I'm nobody.

The business of everybody is the business of nobody...

> I usually drag a poor soul down into the dungeon, or the mental hospital, 
> or I'll flirt with whatever lady will allow me. I' married to a wonderful
> woman who is sometimes mentioned as PuterGal who tends to *BONK* me
> upside the head with a fryin' pan when I get outta line. And if I write
> for the Castle, I'm known as Alwir...

I was fortunate enough to find women who would *BONK* me upside the head
without requiring marriage...

Julie...

> I'm Julie Salter.  Here on ARC, I'm the President of the Romantic Fireside
> Association.  I keep track of the "members" and vote folks in, stuff like
> that.  In the castle tread, I'm Brianna, the Feral Knights TrueLove(tm - hi
> Tina).  Other notes of interest, I met my wonderful Steven here on ARC
> last year and we married last September.  So, ARC has a very special
> place in my heart.

Congratulations on your love and marriage Julie... Steven's words do seem to
indicate a wonderful guy...

Steve...

> allow me to welcome you with the traditional *HUG*

Thank you Steve... Best wishes in all...

CatWoman...

> I'm CatWoman
> Castle Wetware MouseCatcher,

Thank you for your insights into the geography of ARCland... And you need fear
no longer for your SpiritualSis... I am enchanted as well...

Whatever happened to 'beep beep'... It was much more concise...

I have enjoyed talking with you in the past... I look forward to doing so in
the future...

And that is potent stuff...

> as I have.

Do not forget strength, or slyness... May Fortune smile on you in what I
understand to be a difficult time... In fact, may phantasm as well... :)

Please forgive me all for the length of this post, but my purpose is to make
an overdue introduction, and I am hoping this one-time occurance will not be
too much of an annoyance...

For those of you whose introductions I have missed, and for those who have
been unable to post one, greetings to you as well...

I am phantasm...

I am fairly new to a.r.c., and to the net as a whole... I find this world
rather fascinating... However, it sometimes seems a little cold... Rather,
most of does... ARCland, though, seems warmer and friendlier, perhaps more
the kind of atmosphere I desire... Indeed, anything warm and friendly would
be nice during winter in Iowa...

As I am rather new to this, my own persona is yet developing, but I will
likely wander ARCland, see the sites, meet the people, and have a chocolate
covered strawberry or two...

Thank you for all the welcomes and Wishes Warm...

May Fortune smile on you all...
