I am a 21 year old Aussie girl, currently living in Sydney NSW. Some people would remember me on the board as wolfsong oz (I never actually liked the oz part, so I figured with the move to Yuku I might as well change.) I've probably had more of a presence on the Flickr group than I ever had on the forum, though I haven't been around there in a while either. I've met a number of hobblings at various meets in Australia, and have been around the board on and off over the years. Main interests at the moment include photography, reading, mmorpg gaming (Guild Wars), and medieval swordfighting. |

Ah, I wondered if it was you when I saw 'wolfie' at the top of the board. Hello and welcome back again...
Other than her dietary quirks, though, she's all right.Why, Mr Cooper, with these encomiums you will unman me... (Unwoman?) |

Oh cool, welcome back, Wolfie. It's nice to see you posting again.

Yeah, welcome back wolfie. Our wolf pack can always use another member. Even though you're not really new, I'll make the obligatory offer of Apricot Brandy and Fairy Bread. You can't have too much. And, skits, don't let my praising you with faint damns unsex you in any way. |

Welcome to the new comers!
Just as well I saw this thread as my intro needs updating. I'm an engineer in my early 30s (damn, getting old!) and have been a fan of Robin for a few years now. Interests outside of the board (which, alas take me away more and more) include Final Fantasy XI, Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000 and reading loads. |

*pokes around*
Good day to you all! My name is Nenya, born in 1986, Dutch, err... Anyway, I was introduced to the world of the Farseers years ago, by a friend of mine. I have been an addict ever since  My favorite character is definitly Beloved. Although I must say I
love Nighteyes as well, but then again, I have a deep fascination/love for wolves in general.
Interests outside of the books by Robin Hobb include listening to music (such as Pain of Salvation, Porcupine Tree, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Voyager, Alan Parsons, Jeff Wayne, Emilie Autumn, VNV-Nation and the list could go on forever), visiting gigs, singing, writing (poetry/lyrics), drawing and webdesign. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask 
Cheers!

Cheers, Nenya!
*offers apricot brandy and fairybread and other welcoming foodstuffs* Alright, questions: 1. If you were an animal what animal would you be? 2. Squirrels or tortoises? 3. What are your other favourite authors besides Hobb?
People on the Internet have noticed you:
I haven't seen pwnage like that since I was a Catholic schoolgirl. |

*accepts the food and drinks* Much appreciated! I could use some after today's work. To answer your questions:
1. I'd like to say a Wolf.. But a Tiger is more likely
2. Squirrels. 3. Jostein Gaarder, Tad Williams, Tolkien.. to name a few. Is there anyone you'd recommend?

Elfbark and Carris Seed? I think that wouldn't do my nerves much good...
However, the tea and cookies are very welcome! Many thanks to all of you. *pours another cup of apricot brandy* Cheers

Heehee, I think carris seed is an excellent idea. And maybe a little Smoke...
How about some some apple wine, Nenya? Poison optional. |

Nah, I've had enough alcohol for one night, thanks. However, I could pretend to drink the apple wine (with or without the poison) if that should please
you.

Hi everyone! I'm what you would call a lurker, due to the ratio of time I spend reading everyone else's comments versus posting my own! I thought
I'd add briefly about myself, since that's what's going on here. I'm in my early thirties, live in the States (Washington State, to be exact),
I'm a wife and a mother of 1 daughter, and I have a housecleaning business (a small one - just me!). Before that, I was a software tester, before that, an
office manager.
I discovered Robin's work in, I think, March, and was instantly addicted! I don't need to add here what an extraordinary author she is, and I spend way too much conscious energy thinking about her characters! My interests outside obsessing about Beloved and Fitz are: Learning (I love learning, especially about philosophy, worldviews, human nature, history, self-improvement, growing spiritually, current events, and how to make my world a better place - and, no, I'm not a Miss America consestant!) I also love being with my friends & family, my Church, I love walking in the woods (on a trail, preferably), and I love my garden (please note: I don't love working in my garden!) I am especially glad I found this board, because I love seeing what everyone has to say about the books, etc. (and also that I can contribute if I have something cogent to add!)
