Hi, my name is Jared. I'm new (go figure). I've recently been reading Ozy & Millie as if it were a drug. I need to. Over the past two (or perhaps only this past week...) weeks I've read through the 1998 - 2001 comics. So, I recently discovered these forums and I decided I'd give them a shot. Yeah...Basics: I play saxaphone (soprano(amateurly), alto(best), tenor(fairly), baritone(2ndbest)). Jazz is awesome and fun. I love listening to music as well. My favorite kind of music to listen to is piano rock, closely followed by acoustic anything. I make icons (like my current avatar) and actual full-sized avatars. It's a fun way to waste time. Reading is something I absolutely adore doing. So much fun to just get lost in a good book for hours. Writing is something I like trying to do. I've written some good things but it's mostly just dribble. So, yeah...hope I stick with this forum because I love Ozy and Millie. =]

Before you can truly join Define Cynical you have to ride around on this unicyle while wearing a gingham dress while Fritz ceremoniously lobs water balloons full of cranberry sauce at you while chanting the phoenician alphabet backwards.

thanks for the camera. lord knows mine's been due to be replaced.
...flamethrower? (wild fantasies of a world on fire with mayhem, chaos, panic, and destruction abound flashes through my mind) this is per-- I mean, thank you. I'll be sure to use that coupon quickly.
Damn! I forgot my gingham dress! I guess I'll just HAVE to do it later...
thanks for the welcome, guys.

Welcome Jared. Love that screen name. So you're a jazz fan. My twin brother is big into smooth, contemporary jazz. He's got me to listen to some of it and I do like it I admit. Not my all time favorite genre but then again I ain't tough to please.

Hello, and welcome.
I do not like your username. I am not about to put down my camera.
(Just kidding. I still won't put it down)

Welcome to DC, Jared!
Your name would not get me to put down my camera, as I'm a big fan of photography.
I was going to ask if you made that icon yourself, but you answered that question yourself

I'm pretty handy with Photoshop (and I don't mean like, just cropping and size-altering, I mean filters, effects, other things and such), but Imageready always confused me. I never could understand how it worked, but I suppose I could give it another go, couldn't I (last time I did was a year or two ago)?
I like Jazz myself, a lot of the faster Jazz is more fun to listen to I think, and it gets my mind flowing with stuff to do creatively.
So you try to write? You should post some stuff here so we can see, because I like to write personally, so I could give you tips if you would like
Have fun on the forums, and use that coupon quickly! It gets rather hot when the flames start to fly!

Welcome to the forums Jared. Hopefully you won't be half as strange as the only other Jared I know. >_>
And yes, post your writings. We could do with some more authors around here.
