Why are introductions so stupid hard? It's pretty basic in concept right? Say hello, say a few things about yourself and what you're into... Maybe lay on a fun fact? But, see, that's where it all starts to get tricky. It's that precise moment when you start to think about it that the whole train just jumps right off the rails and over the {{insert geographic disaster site for a train wreck here, cliff, bridge, you decide}}.
Picture it, there you are, I guess you're me in this scenario, standing in a room full of people looking at you and just waiting for what you're going to say about yourself. Ok, great, maybe you've been there before and so the feeling is terribly familiar. Or maybe you love introductions (big ups to you, friends). So you think to yourself extra now that you better make the next few words, like the best words you've ever come up with.
By now the suspense is building and the pressure is mounting but not in a way that has any real danger or threat, and with each moment that passes and I can't think of what to say the expectations grow. I guess that is when it really hits because now you're thinking about all of the other answer intros you just read and wonder how can I top that? Since when did saying hello become a competition?

Hello! Hi! Guess you can't go wrong with classics like "hey!" I'm Hannelorian. Whew, bet you didn't think we'd get around to that bit, did ya? New to this place, but not new to RP-ing in general. Though, it's been awhile, might need to shake some of the rust off (that is how rust comes off, right? You just shake it a bunch and poof?). I'm looking for a creative outlet that also brings delightful pangs of nostalgia.
Keep it movin'! I hear you cry.
Let's see... Right, talk more about interests. Check. My interests kind of run the gamut (growing up, I totally thought the word was "Gambit." That was a rude awakening), from romance to fantasy and the supernatural. Were I to think about it, almost any genre fits so long as the characters are compelling, growing and evolving as fast as the situations you put them in. Or maybe I'm the time of, try any kind of story once kinda girl. Yea, it's that one, definitely that one. I tend to write in more of a longer form. I like to think I can make most things work. Sometimes, I like to miss the trees for the forest.
About that fun fact thing - I think more things should be hauntingly beautiful.
Alrighty! That feels like it wasn't the worst introduction ever. Whoever you lovely people are out there, thanks for reading.
