I'll keep this to the point 'cause (a mod on another forum myself) I know no-one really reads these things

.

My name's Jess, I'm 17, Australian, am mainly into a variety of "rock", do Scouts, like helping people with good advice, and am in year 12 taking French, English, Legal, Maths and Studio. I stumbled on this forum by accident, thought BT looked interesting, and figured a new bunch of people wouldn't hurt. I registered, and the community looks pretty active...

...so, see you kids around the forums.

You'd be surprised at how many people here read intros......and berate newbs for not posting enough info about themselves.

I try and get to know people via their posts, rather than their self descriptions. I find it to be a more accurate portrayal of who they are.

Although, I suppose it's true that there are cultural differences between websites:

So, I could also mention that I'm in a long-term long-distance relationship, that my boyfriend's in the Army (Reserves, full time next year), I write a lot of poetry, do a lot of art (of all forms)... like the color lime green... uh... travel a lot... actaully speak french pretty well...

Hum, and the rest should come out in the forums.

...Aren't you that Jess from TeenSpot or whatever the hell it's called? We love to read the intros here at BT, because we mainly pay attention to not only what the person says about themselves, but how they sa it...it usually helps to see how long of a member they're going to be.

Anyway, welcome. Hope you enjoy it here.

I should have mentioned that I am not one of those people.
I remember people more by the content they put out in the forums, I rarely read the intros and don't remember all the facts they list about themselves.

I quit memorizing them, but if they're willing to type out a big intro, I'll read it.

I like the general feel I'm getting here better. We'll just see how it goes with school.

PS (I'm a mod a frihost).

He meant Teenphrase....looking at your pic you don't look like the other Jess. But I could be wrong.

**Opunaya** · 04-13-2008, 08:24 AM

Yeah, Teenphrase...my bad. ;-;

Welcome to BT.

btw, your intro was short, sweet and to the point. Nice job and, yes, the community here is very active. You'll definitely get your fair share of laughs too.

Enjoy your stay.
