Well, hey there! My name's Saeth, though out there in the non-internet world, I generally go by Kirsten (or Teacher Kirsten, if you happen to be a member of the student body of the preschool I work at). I'm 22, and I used to study journalism until my perpetual habit of procrastination got me kicked out of varsity. I was a jobless drifter for three months until fate intervened in February of this year and I ended up with my current occupation. I used to teach the 2-3 year olds, and now I teach the babies (which at the moment range from 10-months to 26 months). I obsess over things like anime, fantasy, Harry Potter, comic books and human rights (specifically freedom of religion and LGBT rights, being a gay Pagan myself). I'm about 5'6", chubby, female, with short brown (currently blondish) hair, brown eyes and glasses, and I tend to be most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt. You will catch me in a skirt perhaps once a year if you're lucky. If I could go to work in my pyjamas, I would. Oh, and I live in Johannesburg, South Africa. Sorry if I get confused about seasons - it's spring here, and if I talk about swimming in December, it's because it's honestly hot, not because I'm absolutely bananas... well... I am... but that's besides the point.

I've been a writer since the age of 12, when I wrote a biography on my cat (simply entitled Cleo). It was 18 pages long, and I have no idea what the wordcount was as I used double-spacing and the comic sans MS font. However, I was exceedingly proud of it, and it's a pity that our harddrive decided to comit suicide only two years after it was written, and me without a floppy-disk backup (yes, we used floppy disks. It was 1998 when I wrote the story, I don't think anyone I knew had even heard of a CD writer). But I digress. I drifted from the writing scene for a while, until, when I was 14, I met my best friend who happened to be a fanfic author. I had, up to that point, never heard of "fanfiction"... but I learned quickly, and soon wrote my very first Mary-Sue-riddled Animorphs fanfic. It was crap. Thank the gods that it met an untimely death at the hands of my suicidal harddrive as well.

Over time, I have evolved my writing. Whilst I do still enjoy writing the occasional fanfic, I generally prefer creating my own worlds and characters, and I have participated in NaNoWriMo every year since 2005 (http://www.nanowrimo.org - it is AWESOMENESS).

I have RP'd since 2001 or thereabouts. A verbal-based RP with my best friend began around that time, and still exists today, so real to us that our muses honestly exist in our minds. She was more into forum- and chat-based RP's than I was at the time, but around 2004, I joined my first forum RP - the Lord of the Rings-based Sanctuary of Mithlond. Well, the bug bit me then, and I've participated in many other RP's since then... though I still adore one-on-one chat-based RPing.

Well, I imagine I've told you far more than you really want to know! So I'll just leave off here saying "HI!", and hoping I'll have fun here! ^_^

^^

that is the most largest post ive seen for eternity ,

May I extend my innermost feelings of awe and epic towards you? It is a very rare case that we get someone so committed to their introduction that they nearly verge on the line of too much information. We are more than happy to have you join us here at Role Play Gateway. Should you feel the need to linger about and get a bit 'o help, please shoot a private message my way. I cannot wait to role play with yah, perhaps a chat now and then as well!

WOW a little rambly huh but anyway let me just find my cards *pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket*welcome to RPG I shake you warmly by the hand and beat your face in with a hockey stick beware all creatures of the undead varieties including ZOMBEHS and you might want stay clear of our satanic inhabitant Lucifer.

*Feels loved*

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. ^_^ Sorry about the overlong post, but I figure... you only get one chance to make a good impression, and when joining a board predominantly for writers... well, I wanted to show that I can actually write. ^___^ *HUGS EVERYONE*

@ general kane: I swore allegience to Bill Gates at the age of 8 and went on to serve in his army of brainwashed Windows-using child warriors until hitting puberty, and then I went to high school, which was worse, in a way. Please allow me time to Google Herr Maximilian Kane before swearing allegience to him, so I know what I'm getting into. ^_~

@ Vexar: *Blush* Thanks! ^_^ And thanks for the offer of help, I'll be sure to ask if I need it! Much appreciated. ^_^ I'm looking forward to RPing as well, though at the moment, I'm just looking around and getting a feel for how things work before I jump in blindly and make a fool out of myself. XD

@ Knock: *Accepts greeting of handshake and hockey stick, and wallops you over the head with a coffee mug in return.* Thanks for the warnings of ZOMBEHS and Lucifer - I'll be sure to take your advice! (Though I heard somewhere that Lucifer's not all bad - he's just had some bad press over the millennia).

Ah, well then, my good sir, do you recomend I swear allegience to you? Would you want someone as nutty as I to join the ranks of the already-sworn? That and you hardly know a thing about me... I could be a spy for your arch-nemesis, you know. ^_~
