I'm new to the Dinotopia forums. We recently started watching the Dinotopia movie in Jan this year and were pleasantly surprised how much we truly liked it. We were hooked! I don't know what type of dino I would be but I think 26 is just adorable! I came here by way of my fiance, Gene.

*Holds hand out in typical Dinotopian greeting.*
Welcome, Kada. My name is Kiva Stoutheart. I'm a Human, but I live with a clan of Giganotosauruses in the Rainy Basin. I hope you like it here and that we don't scare you away. Some of us can be a little... odd. Myself included at times.
Anywho... Welcome! Feel free to browse around and look at everything.
(P.S. Don't worry about what you are yet. For the longest time, I couldn't decide what critter I wanted to be, so I made a decision. I figured I could be a Human, but also command several Saurian counterparts. Now I have a whole Clan of Gigs, a Megaraptor, and occassionally a Yaverlandia that make appearances every so often. So, take your time figuring out what you want to be. There's no rush.

Welcome to the chaos that we all live for! j/k
Seriously, welcome and stay as long as you like...just make sure you read the basic courtesy rules and we will all get along great. It took me a while to figure out what to be until I adopted a couple of smilodon cubs after a mammoth child. So, I am Buttercup, the resident flower stealing mammoth! No flowers are safe around me!

I don't mind the chaos. I also need to update my SO's name on here as he says you would all know him by saoirse. I am used to rules and regulations from our own forums but am always a little shy when joining anothers forum. I will get there. Thank you all for the warm welcome!

SO? Schriftelijke overhoring? School-Onderzoek? I'm not at good abbreviations, assuming you aren't going through school testings (in which case I wish you good luck of course), what do you mean by a SO? Over here an SO is usually an unexpected little test, a 'schriftelijke overhoring', usually about words in a foreign language. *shudder* And they ALWAYS did it when you DIDN'T know your words... I know there's an abbreviation SOB but we usually don't use those words around here as Az (the board owner) is strictly againts cursing. In fact, there's a censored word list that changed every bad word into '*chocolate*'. ;D Oh yes, I'm from The Netherlands. My English is near fluent but I still have my occasional language barrier moments. I'm also always editing my own posts for typos and grammatical blunders.

I think I may be lost with what you just said, utoraptor3000.
What was only on fools and horses?

'Only fools and horses' is a TV programme, its on the BBC, I never watched it myself. I always have run ins with slang terms and abbreviations... Ohh significant other... I don't have a bf, I have my education which absorbs all my time. And Az can tell you all about how she was trying to tell me about some 'poem' and I couldn't figure out what she was saying because I'd never heard the word being spoken out aloud. So then she ended up having to explain the word to me. I've had even funnier encounters with language barriers... The curse list is huge, its over 100 words. Suffice it to say I was bored one day and looked up as many English curses as I could find, heehee. I hope you'll enjoy the T of P.

Hey Vorchia, here's another abbreviation for ya... ;D LTSO= Less Than Significant Other for when you get really mad at them! AAAAAARGHHH lol You're pretty mild tempered if THAT is the word you use for them if you're mad at them! I´ve heard more err, colorful words being used to describe boyfriends/significant others. lol Quit the abbreviations, I once took half a year to figure out what on earth could possibly be meant by the word ´hubby´ and one and half year to find out what a ´car muffler´is. I can tell you these words are in NO dictionary though I have access to a great variety of dictionaries icnluding slang dictionaries at the library and online dictionaries. Slang will be the death of me one day... Your language is hard enough WITHOUT it!!!!!!!!!

Can I keep my hand if we don't use anymore abbreviations? By the way, i got your letter three days ago and am almost done with my reply. I'll send it out soon.
