    Talking Um. Hello.

    -Steps up to microphone-
    Ahem. Ahem. Is this thing on? No? Can we get someone to fix this thing? I may know some things about computers, but not microphones...come on! Someone better turn on this -

    Oh. It's on? Heh heh....

    Good morning, afternoon, evening, readers - listeners - depending on whether you are listening or reading to this! I know listening isn't an option since this IS a writing forum, but that doesn't matter! You can call me Mega; my username is mega1212.

    I'm mainly a songwriter but I also like to write short stories on the side. Sometimes I attempt at writing novels but I fail because I have a low self-esteem and I can't write long pieces!

    But um. Anyway. I don't do public speaking that often, so I don't know what to say.

    Random dude: CAN SOMEONE TELL THIS CRAZY WOMAN THAT THIS IS A WRITING FORUM, NOT A PUBLIC SPEAKING MEETING?!

    OH, thanks random dude! You saved me there.

    But um I really don't know what to say.


    I can help you if you need it?

    Meh. I fail at public speaking - introducing myself on forums.


    Anyone want a cookie?

    Welcome, mega.

    We don't get a lot of public speakers here, so not to worry. Poke around, read some stuff, make yourself at home. Promise we won't bite. At first.

    Welcome to the forums, mega.

    Hey Mega,

    slides a hot chocolate with whipped cream & nutmeg sprinkle

    Take off those shoes, here is a pair of slippers. Stay a while. Don't mind the clothes, I'm doing laundry.

    You know, you are refreshing, fun. I like you.

    At times, I like to kick back and think what was, what could have been. I was you once.

    Here, you can use my microphone. It helps you project better. Nah, forget it. Go au naturelle here.

    Glad to make your aquaintance. Do I know you? Did you have the rosemary filet of sole with cranberry at the fish hut the other night?

    Take care & welcome.

    JRB
