I like you, however...

This is the "Like" thread, inspired partly, but not totally, by newbie, Jedi, who, in his her enthusiasm for the game seems to "Like" practically every post who answers his her questions. And, aside from that, it is my belief that we as a community "like" more than we let on! So! We shall like every post on this thread - that is the reason it is here - to like and be liked!

~~So! Let the Likeness begin!!!~~

~~(OK, I admit, I've gone a little crazy here, but indulge me, will you? )~~

I didn't realize it when I started this how it would effect the meaningfulness of our "likes", so, while it is fun to click the "Like" button, I would now like to encourage everyone to "un-click"* all the ones they have clicked in this thread so that we can have more meaningful use of the "Like" button on our forum here.

* Un-click the "Like" button - not to be confused with clicking the "Dislike" button.

No worries it is not the first time it happened even though on some sites it shows my gender as female.

So, does that make me and Mia cats then? Walking on keyboards to post stuff...

I just noticed that you two both have a white AND a black cat as your avatars. If so, then which one is you and which is Mia, assuming they are siblings? :p

MiaSkywalker · May 4, 2015 at 3:37 PM

Well, my avatar is a picture of my cats when they were still kittens. I was surprised when I saw LN's, and it was so similar to mine; neither of us had noticed before. (I think we set our avatars to those at about the same time.)

Also, the "black" cat in my avatar is a tortoiseshell ragamuffin, not really black at all.

I hadn't guessed that Jedi was female either. Actually, I really had no idea, although I think subconsciously the avatar was making me think she was male as well.

So instead of wows, you want to collect likes now, huh?

Actually, it took me quite a while to figure out LadyNova's avatar. At first, I thought it was some kind of creamy coffee decoration. Which shows that I usually don't look too closely at people's avatars.
For the record: I'm a female water lily.

edit: Just got a weird time-out screen, but the message seems to have been posted.

The cats in my avatar are random picture I found on the net. I'm actually dog person and I have a french bulldog at home (who, interestingly enough, kinda resembles Mia's dark cat)
I seem to think people on internet a nb until proven otherwise. Experience I guess.

Shelybear · May 4, 2015 at 5:09 PM

Uhm I tend to assume most of people from internet are 'female', for the reason I don't really know. But in this case I know Jedi is a female because I saw her DC profile and it states 'female' and from the way she talks. Although mostly I don't believe the information provided in profiles because majority don't want to share their real personal info (e.x. age).

Funny that, I have a friend who guess people's gender wrong ALL THE TIME from Internet. lol. Whenever she guessed a gender, it's then confirmed to be opposite.

To female water lily: You're not alone! LN's avatar indeed looks like a cup cake.

P.S. if we are what our avatars are, it's really hard to find my human being fellows then Where are you guys?
P.P.S. Back to topic. I wow'ed when seeing Jedi liked almost all posts. lol.

My avatar is Dean from the show Supernatural which is a show I just love to watch. As for my age I turned 51 this past March *gasps* Yep there is a oldtimer in the bunch here.

Then you're only a few months older than I am, as I turned 50 a few months ago.

Jedi · May 5, 2015 at 8:54 AM

More than a few months older if you're 50 and I am 51.

I'll be 59 next month. *wonders who is older than me*

Jedi · May 5, 2015 at 10:47 AM

anyone here 60?

No, you just turned 51. I will turn 51 in about six months. Not a full year older, and therefore only a few months older than I am.

Remember, "a few" isn't a particular number. It simply means more than one or two, and less than, say, a dozen. (Although it depends upon what you're talking about. "A few stars" could be a hundred or so, since there are billions in the galaxy, for instance.)

Since it is less than a year, it is a few months.

Then with my 31 I can feel like a spring chicken for once. xD

*spams all the likes*

LadyNova · May 5, 2015 at 6:35 PM

I'm almost 30. Feels odd to not be one of the oldest ones around.
