Hi, I'm making myself post here because I've been lurking for about a week but I'm too shy to post at all. My screen name is what it is because I spent a whole day trying (failing) to think of something I'd be comfortable with so in the end I decided to make it something that made me giggle. I've been out of a job for a little while now so I've been passing the time by reading the whole ASoIaF series (my awesome boyfriend bought ADwD for me for my birthday!) and I joined on here so I could discuss the chapters since I don't know anyone IRL who is as far along in the series as I am. (so i guess i can just wear that as a nerdy badge of pride, right?) Buuut as I said before, I've been too shy to discuss anything. :worried: Anyway, I just finished ADwD aaand I'm happy to have found this place where I can nerd out...whenever I get over my ridiculous internet-shyness. baaabysteps. ^_^
