Hello everyone! I signed up here a while ago but totally forgot to introduce myself. -.-;;;
I'm Taliya. I've seen Poirot Café mentioned numerous times, and figured I should connect with my fellow writers and readers. Nice to meet you all! I'm sure you haven't heard of me much, but I've been writing DCMK fics for the last few months after my initial introduction into MK and, by default, DC. I have an account of ff.net and have recently opened an account on AO3 as well, both under the same name. I write strictly platonic Kaito and Shinichi friendships, and my stories tend towards angsty drama (maybe that says something about the state of my mind...), but there you have it.
What else...? In real life I live in the States, am turning 30 this year, and work as a geologist in an oil company. That probably makes me significantly older than the majority of users here, but I think that being able to still enjoy anime at my age indicates that I'm still a child at heart (that or I just have a crazily overactive imagination, take your pick). Outside of writing and reading fanfics and watching DC, I enjoy road cycling, scuba diving, playing violin, and dancing ballet ⎯ or just about any type of dance. I like learning science-y stuff and know a lot of useless trivia. There was a reason my family's nickname for me when I was younger was "Pedia" (encyclo-Pedia).
I guess that's enough rambling. I don't bite (much or hard), and I would be more than happy to answer any questions you have.
Cheers,
-Tal.

Hi Tal! I'm older than you so don't feel too out of place. ^_~ Though I do suspect most of the board is younger than us. It doesn't bother me though. Everyone's been pretty welcoming and I don't think enjoying fiction is something that really has age limits. I think it's pretty cool that you're a geologist. Do you work in the field a lot or is it mostly indoors?

I work mostly indoors. Every now and then I'll get the chance to go out to the field, and it's always fun. It allows you to travel to some really out-there places if you're lucky. But for the most part, it's mostly just me working on my monitor tan. -.-;;;

Hello! Welcome to the forum! O.O That's a lot of info there. Knowing the useless trivia thing kinda reminds me of Conan

Nice to meet you! Midnight here, 22 years old, will show signs of being alive only once in a while
Being a geologist in the States sounds really nice! There are a lot of beautiful sights there so those few times you get to work out must be a lot of fun ^^ Anyways, glad to have you here!

Since it came up in the convo yesterday, if you are interested in seeing my ballet dancing, click here. Just match the costume. A still from pole, since most of the stuff in there is movement and would therefore be a blur.

Your dancing is amazing Taliya! Really beautiful and well matched with the song. I would break if I attempted to twist my body like that, either now due to me never doing any kind of exercise or from a younger more flexible age: my body simply was never meant to move like that xD So I really admire your hard work here.

Thanks Midnight! The ballet solo is a culmination of 20+ years of practicing. And even then I had problems with parts of it up until rehearsals right before the performance. I'm just happy everything straightened up when I needed it most. The pole dancing was more of a "oh, what the heck, I'm not getting any younger" type thing, but it was definitely fun!
