Hi.

My name is Aabi. I've been a Daria fan and a disillusioned cynical teenager for awhile. Just saying hi so you know who I am.

I thought the term was "fresh meat."

"FRESH FISH" comes from "The Shawshank Redemption" (an EXCELLENT movie, I must say).

Now that you've survived your Baptism by Fish (BTW, what kind of fish are you using these days, Kyle ?), welcome to atd. ( I would say more at this point, but it is very late & I am gearing up for a long overdue rant/post. You will find that I do that in my posts a lot. I also have a tendency to use parenthesis and dashes -- out of habit -- in my posts.)

Once again, welcome aboard!

Yes, welcome. Don't let the scorched and charred bits frighten you off. Some very good and very weird discussions have occurred here... Just do what I do-- keep yer head down. ;-)

Jane: Uh-oh, someone just put us in a position of responsibility.

Daria: The day has suddenly turned sinister.

Good. I shall fit in fine. My latest writing habits are these little dash-things. It's quite interesting. It's just...the way I type. I used to abuse elipses. Now I abuse dashes. And I abuse the English language with pointless typing.

Try commas.

Ordinarily I would use commas, but grammatically, when you have a sudden break in a train of thought, the em dash is more correct. As for overuse of parens, well, I usually just use them to de-emphasize a thought. Again, it's grammatically okay, I just tend to overuse it. But look! Here's a post without either bad habit appearing!

Quinn: People are so weird!

Daria: Some are weird. Some are just astonishingly self-centered and deceitful.
