AH Directory-a proposal

[Stella_Omega]

See, the thing to do- is put all the stuff (or most of the stuff) that crowds the fuck out of your sig- into your profile post. Then, you put a link to your profile post in your sig- et wallah!

[wishfulthinking]

Alt's : princessjennie. That's the first time out of the closet for that one I picked princess because that's what my name means in aboriginal. Also, wistfulthinking, because there wasn't much difference and I'm a hog.

Other Languages: I know shop, sale and exit in French. This is suprisingly helpful after getting stuck in the metro.
Cat or Dog Person : Dogs if I must.
What transition are undergoing? (20 words or less). trying to get out of that rut.
What should people know about you before posting with you : I'm never serious. My contributions to threads are often minimal because when I don't feel like talking I don't feel like typing. I hate the "I don't need to post this because you all know it already" - no, I missed it and don't know wtf is going on

[wishfulthinking]

I was thinking maybe to add 2 questions.

1. what do you like to read?
2. what do you like to write?

what do you think?

[Trombonus]

Maybe we could add our own segments. You know, add on whatever we feel might be important or relevant to the information already on here. Since we're all different, we could all add different add-ons adapting to our own personal style. The point is for us to get to know each other better, so if you feel something important is being left out, just add it in. What do you think?

Ok so I know my sig is a bit big, but you know as well as I do that people rarely look in someone's profile, and I'm not the most interesting guy around. Besides, I seem to remember someone saying that you could just make it so you can't see signatures. I like the content in my signature, and though it's a bit large, every bit of information there is important to me. It shows people who I am and what I'm about. I know it's big, and I appologize if it bothers you, but in the same sense it bothers me that someone would ignore someone for the simple reason that their sig is big. You could be missing out on meeting a great person. So I will try and cut the size down a little, and you're free to put me on your ignore list if you so desire, but I'm not going to cut the content because it's important to me.

Whoa... I'd hate to see the purpose of this thread lost, so a quick post. . .Trom. . .I LOVED the little music thing and horn thing you had. Leave it up, it is up to you in the end, but I smiled and thought of music everytime I saw it.
