Well, I was gone for the weekend and had trouble following all the threads
that popped up while I was gone, so I figured I'm post.  

So this is my grand entrance into ARCland....hope you like it ;)


*sniff* *sniff*  Does it smell like smoke to you??
As you look up, you see a huge column of smoke.....and a VERY large fire
sweeping across the land!  It draws closer and closer....It looks like
it's going to run right over all of ARCland!  Suddenly, just before
it engulfs the area with the food fight, it stops.  The tongues of fire
draw together and coalesces into a female figure!  Starting from the feet
up, skin forms, and then her hair, etc.  Soon she is fully formed and wearing
a dress that appears to be made of flames.  Behind her, a path of devastation.

"Sorry about that...." she says very apologetically.  "I tend to get
carried away sometimes."  She casually makes a gesture with her hand,
and the ashes sink into the ground.....and everything begins to regrow in
front of your eyes! 

"Maybe I should introduce myself.  I'm Wildfire......"

Well, I don't really have alot to say on the subject.  While I have
met *alot* of NetFriends, and a few NetFeinds, I have never been
involved with a NetRomance.  I had a little discussion with Liz about
NetRomances and LDR's in general.  Basically it was my contention
that while they may work for other people, personally, I don't see
myself getting into one.  If I did, it would almost have to be an
accident.

But, to those who are in one and it is working, I applaud you.
