Hello everybody,
I'm Jon, and I'm new. Though not in the 'fresh out of the birth canal,' kind of way. I've got some wear on me: A few scratches from climbing on things, or falling off of them rather, that definitely weren't covered under the warranty -- which, by-the-way, is expired. A temporarily bum arm from a recent snowboarding accident, and an odd looking toenail from an accident involving running around barefoot as a kid.
I'm a recently graduated journalist, which means I'm unemployed and up to my eyes in debt. I've written most of a book (40,000 words in a month), but never finished it because of a death in the family, finals, graduation, moving across the country, and then deciding I didn't particularly like my story, or my characters, anyway. I'm about to start another one where I hopefully take what I learned from my first attempt in order to make the second something I actually want to finish.
Anyhow, I'm glad to be here (I think).
Welcome. We love fresh meat.
Welcome (I think).
But no, really, welcome. I'm Renee. I'm covered in tattoos, which are basically scars, and I have a few unfinished novels. We'll probably get along great.
Welcome to the site.
Look around, enjoy. Feel free to jump right in.
Welcome Jonathan!
Please check out the New People thread I posted. It will give you a good insight into the site.
I went to Bellarmine Jefferson High School in Burbank.
Hello Jon!
4 quick questions so we can get to know a little about you:
- Name the best book you've never read.
- What is your favorite brand of fast-food fries?
- What is your favorite movie in which a large animal eats a person?
- Who is your favorite founding father?
HAH! I beat Utah to the thread! Without further ado
Thanks to Kirk, you are the proud recipient of the first Hi-Res LitR Welcome meme!
Here's a high-rez version of the logo if you want it, Dave.

Welcome Jonathan.

@Kirk YES please and thank you!

Haha, you might be right, but the classics never die.
Dammit! Double post.
Dear Jonathan:
Here is how to avoid a double post. Sometimes it will lag when you try to enter a reply. Do NOT push the post button more than ONCE. If it lags fro a considerable amount of time, hit refresh. Your post will more often than not be recorded and it will load right up.

I only hit it once! It is just my awesomeness propelled the message forward twice in what many leading scientists think is a miracle.
"I only hit it once!"
The evidence would point to a different conclusion.
Haters gonna hate.
You two need a private IRC room.
"You two need a private IRC room."
That was rude.
That was rude.
It was not. It was helpful.
I disagree - respectfully.
I have to admit, your disagreement has caught me completely by surprise.
As I expected it would.
1. I've never read Paradise Lost, but I like the idea of it.
2. In-n-out fries wild style for sure.
3. Oh jeeze ... the grey was pretty good. Depressing tho, imagine that.
4. Alexander Hamilton!
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.
