let this topic go for now, because it's technically an introduction topic and there aren't any new people yet?

Well, here's a newbie for ya! I'm Rigel, and the numbers in my username comes from the birth date of my pet dog Seki. I only joined the forum a couple of weeks ago, some time after I heard about 1/2 Prince and found this page.

I'm a biology major specializing in plant systems. I don't consider a pacifist, but I think I'd freak out if I ever had to dissect a mouse or frog. I daydream on a regular basis and every once in a while put that into writing. For now it's just a few adult stories on Y!Gallery [Yes, the fag hangout. So bite me!] but now I'm working on something hetero and work-safe.

hi rigel! ever dissected a fish? i have twice, once in the summer between eighth and ninth grade and once in ninth. it was pretty disgusting. the deer heart was much better. i think it was a combination of the lack of preservation fluid and the fact that it was only part of a dead animal instead of the whole thing. you gotta love hick schools... :)

i also like to turn my dreams into stories, although for me it's the dreams i have at night when i'm sleeping and i don't put any of the... less appropriate ones into writing. good luck!

Gwah!! Only a day an I'm being mobbed by forum zombies! XDDD *just kidding guys*

@apop: Nice to meet you too. I'm from Malaysia and studying in Malaysia. Yes, I'm from that little tropical country famous for embarrassing itself in the world news. I'm in my final year of college actually, and although I say that I'm a bio major, it's basically all that I study. We follow the Brit system here, meaning you choose a subject on Day 1 and you're stuck with it forever till death do you part.

@guil: Wow! That is like so cool and so gross at the same time! XD My class in high school was so notorious for making all sorts of things shatter, corrode or burst into flames that the principal basically banned us from doing any science practicals, so I never managed to cut anything up. My sis, she dissected a cow's eye. Apparently she had to pry it out of the skull and the thing went flying across the lab. XDDD

Nice to know somebody who has the same hobby as I do. And FYI, X-rated scenes are a nightmare to write. Seriously.

i've never tried to write them, but i can imagine... i have a very good imagination. another reason why writing such... suggestive scenes while still living at home would be a bad idea.

i can also remember a cow's eye from second grade and a pig's lung in fourth or fifth... we believe in our biology here, apparently. the cow's eye was a problem for the nurse (who was dissecting it. they didn't trust second graders with scalpels) because when she went to take out the lens it squirted her. it was gross. :)

and we are forum zombies. we're probably two of the most active people on here...

Ugh! Thank goodness plants lack the vomit-inducing gore factor. Of course, that in effect makes them mindfarkingly boring to study.

well, i'd think carnivorous plants would be interesting, but not really normal plants like grass or corn or such... although a lot of work does go into making farm plants more desirable. like, the genetics side of things. that part of biology is really interesting. you can apply math to it... :)

Math? Ack! Did I mention that I hate math? Especially stats?

And yeah, a biologist's typical research is extremely boring, especially those related to agriculture. But I have read of genetically-modified tobacco plants producing spider silk, and I have a lecturer working on producing vaccines for hepatitis-something in bananas. The big problem, she tells me, is that the amount of vaccine produced is so little you'll have to force-feed a patient something like 2 kilos (about 4.5 pounds) at one go to get it to work.

Super-random fact: Malaysia was once featured in a slapstick movie Zoolander. I never watched it myself, but apparently it was banned back home because the main character was supposed to assassinate the Prime Minister or whatever.

true fact, that last bit. it was a completely ridiculous and inappropriate movie partially about how stupid models are supposed to be.

i always thought it would be cool if you could make a fabric out of that fluffy stuff that covers lamb's ear... the plant. not the cute little farm animal. people already make clothes out of that.

A bit embarrassed to say that I had go find Uncle Wiki and Aunt Google to ask about the plant. Well it does look pretty furry huh? If you can make fabric out of it, I'll bet it'll be fluffy like wool.

Somehow when I look at the pictures of lamb's ear, they remind me about the Enid Blyton stories that I read as a kid. The sort where an elf or a wizard goes about collecting all kinds of exotic ingredients for their spells like the scales from a butterfly's wings, a handful of sunlight and all that. Writer's light-bulb! *dashes to start writing another random fic*

it is extremely soft and fluffy, but once to pick a leaf and it dries out it crumbles easily. i'm glad we have a few of the plants growing in our front garden. it's one of my favorite non-flowering plants... so soft... and when it's been sitting in the sun all day it's warm, too. :)

Must be fun. In tropical countries, hairy plants tend to give you a nasty case of itches or a rashes. Take bamboo for instance.

Hmm, I wonder if we should start up a subforum for art and fic submissions which aren't related to LSK or HP. Sounds kinda lame though, after I type this out.

yeah, temperate climates are usually safer. the plants that give you rashes are shiny, pointy, or otherwise obvious to supervising adults, who then teach you to be wary of them. i'm proud to say i've never even gotten poison ivy, although that could be because after... 6 years of life i took to spending most of my time inside picking up tips on nerd-dom from my family (e.g. reading, memorizing pi, etc.)

*returns highfive* you know it! i love being a nerd... i don't know when i became so self-confident. i thought high school was supposed to be awkward... and it is kind of, but most of the drama still seems to go way over my head. and my school isn't normal or average to begin with. we've only got 600-some people, we have a flourishing agricultural department, but we still have extremely intelligent and talented students in the more main-stream fields, such as art, music, math, science, and english. and sports, i guess. i love my little farm school. :D

I wanna be a geneticist in the plants department! Because even now we still don't know how many vitamins are in plants and what are the COMPLETE medicinal uses of plants~~

I check for updates in Mangafox at LEAST 2x a day!! I also play a lot of video games in PCs, PSP and PS2!! I can't live w/o my daily dosage of comics!!

*to Mr. Mintjam*
Don't worry, I'll stick around :)

Snowball fights are overrated, not had one since I was a kid. And I haven't been hit by a snowball in years. Do love snow though, wonderful to walk on.

take a natural clump of snow, compact it (or any snowball really). roll it around in some loose snow (that is un walked on). compact. roll. compact. do this till it's the size you want it. throw.

warning: you need to be slightly merciless to throw these
