'drops in'

Erm... hi.

I was looking around the Draconity FAQ, and I found this group. So...
I thought I'd give it a look.

To put it shortly, I started out considering myself a furry back in
November last year, but lately I've taken on a more draconic belief. I
consider myself, not fully dragon, but part-dragon. I mostly got
introduced to draconity by a friend, another draconic.

In around June, I decided to really think things through a while, and
I decided that I was taking things a lot more seriously than the
average furry. So I looked at therian/otherkin for a while. Then I met
this friend of mine in July and he thought I might be draconic
instead. So I decided to research a bit. Then I did a very long
LiveJournal post and eventually concluded I'm part-draconic. So that's
that.

For now, I'm just watching since I'm a bit nervous about posting
anything else... I don't know this community well yet.

Finally, I'm located in Singapore, South-East Asia. So I might be a
long, long way from anyone else but 'shrugs' I've gotten used to it.
Human technology does bridge the gap, after all.

Welcome to the group, or Here, as others say. You are not that far from
me as I am in Australia.

You will find the inhabitants a varied but friendly lot, even to
offering free food :)

Hope you enjoy your time in Alfandra and post when you feel like.

You're welcome to lurk if you want, but I think you'd get to know us
faster (especially given our recent lack of activity) if you participate
in the community. Start a few threads, any subject will do. Just keep in
mind that there may be children here, so don't post anything too adult.

I'm actually an adolescent myself, and I am aware that there are a few
adult-related topics here (like the spam threads I see on the front
page). Needless to say, I'll try to steer clear. And I'll see what I
can dig up - from my LJ if need be.

Yep, I can tell. 'gulps cheesecake'

Either way, I look forward to participating in this community,
especially seeing some of the threads (I've been signed up since
Monday or so, but was in Malaysia for a holiday till today). Thanks
for the warm welcome.

Point taken. The whole process is explained in (http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_(season_4)#Diet_Coke_and_Mentos).
And they say rock sugar works even better.

I meant I am imagining ways you could have discovered this, or the
consequences of doing so. Ways that are probably worse than whatever
happened. Finding out the actual series of events will likely be a
disappointment.

Thanks, I've been here for about a month actually. There's actually
