If you’re new on the blog, please stop by this thread and say pie — er, hi.
We recommend that newcomers (that’s what “neophytes” means) look over The Rules and The HG2MB (Hitchhiker’s Guide to MuseBlog).
Next, if you’re so minded, stop by Who’s Here (see the menu at the top of your screen) and announce your arrival in a comment there, so we’ll be sure to add you to the official list.
MuseBlog Veterans: Please use this thread only to welcome newcomers as they arrive and answer questions that they ask.
Oh… um.. hi! I was just wondering how you request a new thread. Send mental messages to the GAPAs? Do something with gremlins and a magic wand?
You could try those approaches, but most MBers prefer to post their ideas on the Suggestion Box thread.
Thanks.
Help! I can’t find the chess game between me and Koko’s Apprentice! Help!
Oh, wait, KA won. Never mind.
Pie! I’m Sky-kitten, a kitten-child of the sky. (: I enjoy throwing pies (namely pies with pi written on the top), reading novels that interest me, writing novels that interest me (although, sometimes I write stories that don’t interest me, but I never finish them), listening to music, reciting pi, and many other things. I also overuse parentheses. I love Muse, but I haven’t gotten an issue for quite a while, but I plan to re-get-Muse-again, because I miss it. (:
Welcome, Sky-kitten!
Hello! Welcome to the blog!
Welcome!
I hope you’ll stick around. 
(Sky-kitten is Meadow from the Chatterbox, by the way. I invited her.
Hello, Sky-kitten! I hope you’ll be sticking around.
Hi Sky-kitten! Welcome to MuseBlog.
Welcome!
Welcome to MB, Sky-kitten!!
Welcome, kitten of the sky!
Welcome to MuseBlog! We’re glad you’re here.
Welcome! You seem like a very interesting person; please stay!
I’m sure you’ll fit right in if you are a pie lover! Welcome!
SPLAT!
Hi there!
Good to see some new faces. Enjoy your stay!
Thank you for all of the welcomes! (: Also, I forgot to mention that I’m on the Chatterbox, known as Meadow. I know you, ZNZ!
Oh, really? I know you, too, then. I’m Ima. My avatar’s a tardigrade, if you were wondering.
Ooh yes, Bibliophile! Your welcome hadn’t been up yet, so I didn’t see it. (: Tardigrades are wonderful little creatures.
We’re leaving the November Neophytes thread up for December, to avoid interrupting Sky-kitten’s welcome.
Um. Hi. This is where I feel awkward.
Hello! This is where we welcome you with fruit-filled pastry.
Welcome to MuseBlog, Adeliae!!! I love your ‘blog name, by the way – penguins, yes? Don’t feel too awkward, I’m sure you’ll fit right in!
Hi! No need for awkwardness! Welcome to the ‘blog!
Hello! Glad to see you.
I’m Cskia. Welcome to MuseBlog! I hope you stay around, we don’t bite (or at least I haven’t noticed any biting yet). By the way, your gravatar cutely fits what you just said.
No, this is where you feel welcomed! Welcome to the Blog Adeliae!
(Don’t mind the pies. They’re a sort of traditional greeting. Almost like a handshake, only with more airborne banana cream.)
Yup, penguins, thanks. Th’are brilliant and amazing in every single way. Particularly Nile ones.
Pie is good. As long as it has no connection with bananas. Bananas taste bad. So… pumpkin pie. That would be appropriately splatty, right?
But thank you, people. I feel very welcomed.
Someone with grammar! I like you already! (this is where you stop feeling awkward. Awkward is my territory)
Pumpkin pie is perfect, especially because there’s probably a lot left over from Thanksgiving dinners.
Welcome!
Welcome!
Oh, sorry!
How do you feel about coconut cream?
Absolutely fantastic!
Oh, you can’t help that. We’re all awkward here.
Welcome!
But I don’t want to go among awkward people!
Too late!
I like all of you people already.
We like gaining a new and interesting person to walk to!
I like walking too. XD
I meant to type “talk”, but it was early in the morning! I’m very silly sometimes!
Silliness can often result in brilliance…
In Kai’s case, it does.
The converse is also true.
Why are people squidding this? I said converse, not inverse (i.e., brilliance results in silliness).
Perhaps they feel sorry for those brilliant minds who, according to this rule of sorts, are silly. Personally, there’s nothing wrong with silliness –
– HEHEHEHHEEE PONIES
Welcome! (Even though I am also new, I feel happy welcoming people. C:) Your name is awesome.
Hello fellow new person!
You may bow to my name’s awesomeness. Or not. Actually, don’t bother. I don’t think that it appreciates it.
*doesn’t bow to the name’s awesomeness but still thinks that it is Totally Awesome with capital Red Vines*
What can’t they do?
You two stick around.
Seconded seconded seconded.
Thirded!
Hi! Welcome! I hope you’ll stick around…
In case you were wondering, the things at the bottom of your posts are squid. They are generally used for sympathy
unless it’s PiggyNow I think people are squidding me in sympathy with how many squids I’m receiving. It’s either self-renewing or self-defeating, I’m not sure which.
Actually I think everyone is squidding you because it’s too tempting not to do so when you ask them not to. Perhaps you could try reverse psychology.
(…Actually… maybe not.)
I don’t know about everyone else, but I do it in sympathy. I never squid your posts just because everyone else is doing it and you don’t want us to, though.
Yes, Piggy, I’m so sorry you’re receiving so many squids, I’ll just squid you to make you feel better.
Squid overload? Fix with MORE SQUID!
That’s what I like about MuseBlog, everyone’s so empathetic.
I squidded that post but realized immediately afterwards that my emotions towards it were more “pie” than “squid”.
My apologies.
but receiving squid is awesome!
especially if it’s wrapped in seaweed and rice
Yay! Now I know what the squids are for. (: I was confuzzled in the beginning. I knew the purpose of pies, though, because they are awesome and generally filled with fruit and cover-people-with-squishy-stuff stuff.
I think you’ll fit in just fine here.
Welcome Skykitten and Adeliae!
I second that, Maths Lover ♥! Welcome Sky-kitten and Adeliae!
Also, I would like to know where to learn about ‘Mostly Harmless’ and the Kokonspiracy. World domination is so much fun!
It’s right here. It’s on the MuseBlog. It’s Everywhere.
Hello! I am a pokemon fan!
And it starts again.
My youngest brother, making his third appearance on this thread.
Welcome to MuseBlog, hugmonster! There are quite a few Pokemon fans about, and I’m sure they’ll be pleased to meet you!
Hi, hugmonster! Please stay a while. I think you’ll find lots of Pokemon fans here, as well as pretty much any other fandom you care to think of.
Swampert FTW. That is all. *pies*
