Morea

[morea]

Hi everybody, my name is morea and I have a problem. ;)

Ok, I don't really view it as a problem so much as an addiction. You see, I happened upon this place almost two years ago, and haven't left much since.

Although most everybody here already knows me, I figured I'd write a brief intro for anyone new to the forum, since we have this handy new "introduce yourself" section.

I am the GDF Librarian, the Giver of Tacos (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=211130&postcount=39), Banner of Trolls (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=218825&postcount=30), Slayer of Spammers, Thrower of PS Parties (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12285), Teller of Jokes (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16342), Seer of Cheese, Original Inventor of the Swooshburst (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=124237&postcount=35), and Crusader Against Spec Work (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=120005&postcount=2). I am easily distracted by things that are shiny.

I've met some great people on this board, talked to several over the phone, collaborated on projects with others, and learned from just about everybody.

One thing that I love about this place is that it's a positive, encouraging environment that's great both for learning and having fun.

I'm a graphic designer with experience in prepress and marketing. My hobbies include photography, mountain biking, camping, hiking, cat rescues (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14362) (27 to date), and Quenya (the elven language from Lord of the Rings). I like to read science fiction and fantasy novels and to write bad poetry, which I will mercifully refrain from sharing with you.

That's enough about me. Welcome to GDF, and enjoy your stay.

Logo, are you in denial? Just kidding? Are you sure? :D

[Logo-Mechanix]

jimking, admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery, at least thats what all the junkies tell me.

[morea]

hey smarty pantses, go get your own intro threads! :p

[Logo-Mechanix]

Sorry, welcome to the forum Morea.

Welcome to the forum Morea, you will find this place very helpful and entertaining. We have a gdf librarian that can help you find links to just about any graphic design topic. Her name is Morea. She should be here soon to greet you.

[morea_too]

why thank you keith.

Hello, morea. I am morea too, here for all your linkage needs.

Should you have need of my services, please log out and sign in as me.

Thank you, and have a nice day. >^..^<

[morea]

why thank you, dear. What an attractive avatar you have. :D

[reuber1]

I feel like some Doublemint gum all of a sudden.

[DUNSEL]

She's not the only one that can replicate. MWUAH HA HA HA!!!!!!!!

[keith1]

It's strange that the librarian only has 6 posts but the new morea has 20,000??

[JPnyc]

There was probably some post bartering going on.

[morea]

welcome.

and a special hello to our guest poster from The Ultimate Computer.
Hey Dun, rawr. ;)

[DUNSEL]

Thank you, thank you. How do I become a mod?

[keith1]

Or Bizarro World. The more you post the less posts you have.

[morea]

we're all mad, here.

[JPnyc]

I think he said mOd, not mAd. DUNSEL, you have to give generously to the "JPnyc Bahamas" fund.

[DUNSEL]

Oh. Yeah, that'll happen.

[morea_too]

don't mess with him, Dun. He's the uber-admin. He'll ban you just as soon as look at you!

[morea]

now Joe, don't go bullying the new guy. It's not nice!

[JPnyc]

Who said I had to be nice? ;)

[keith1]

Listen morea just because you have over 20K posts doesn't mean you can tell people here what to do. You're still a newbie. Joe can do whatever he wants.

[morea]

[JPnyc]

Hey Keith, nice to see ya back. You were gone for hundreds of yrs. We wondered if ya'd abandoned us.

[DUNSEL]

don't mess with him, Dun. He's the uber-admin. He'll ban you just as soon as look at you!
He won't ban me. I have too much on him.

[JPnyc]

LOL, that's great Mo. Yes, I guess they did. But they also said something about a 6 shooter didn't they?

[morea_too]

you are not the boss of morea, Keith. You don't even have a welcome thread! :p

[colonel5]

Yeah Keith, I'm sure you were locked away in your basement making more web buttons... any new ones for me?

[morea]

LOL, that's great Mo. Yes, I guess they did. But they also said something about a 6 shooter didn't they?

you're right, you're right. Just watch where you're pointing that thing!

[JPnyc]

I think it's safe to say you're out of the line of fire.

[morea_too]

what about me? Am I safe too?

[keith1]

I've been traveling the world for the last 200 years looking for inspiration for some new button designs.

[JPnyc]

what about me? Am I safe too?
Not in them glasses, no.

[Neuro]

Oh there are two Moreas?! Wow...I feel special to have them both living with me. How kinky! Especially that one with the glasses...raar.

[morea]

hey, smarty bum... that's not how it works!

[Neuro]

I've been traveling the world for the last 200 years looking for inspiration for some new button designs.

Good to know because I was afraid the world was starting to forget all about those wonderful buttons.

[Neuro]

hey, smarty bum... that's not how it works!

Damn!! Thought I had a chance to check that one off my list! :rolleyes:

[morea_too]

nice try, but no cigar.


and not in a Clintonesque way, either.

[keith1]

Here's my latest creation. I call it the "About Button". When it is finally active it will be linked to a webpage that is about everything in the world.

[morea]

keith, you should put that in the showcase. It is gorgeous!

[Neuro]

*claps hands and gets all giddy*

[keith1]

Thanks, guys. It's pretty much the best button I ever designed. It's took me like 3 hours just to do the rainbow gradient.

[rickself]

Neuro has TWINS!!
Ray-burr is no longer the coolest guy in the forum!!

[reuber1]

Not the coolest person on the forum anymore? Oh well, I'm still the most gaseous. :cool:

[Neuro]

I'll enjoy my 15 seconds of fame on here. Seldom do I even get responded to, let alone have smiles bowing to. LOL!

[morea]

[Neuro]

It's over and ray-ber can't have his title back. It was nice while it lasted. Now I'll go back in my dark corner and twitch. Later!

[keith1]

That's awesome!!!!

[morea]

*swoon*

Tyger, you still know how to push my buttons.

[urstwile]

Oooh, Tyger, that pic gave me another thing to do on my visit to NYC checklist: New York style cheesecake.

I'm going to be fat when I get back.

Morea, you're the best! :) Hope we can meet up while I'm there.

[morea]

I intend to make it happen. And the cheesecake was only a bonus. ;)

[Neballer]

heymo:
You forgot Defender of Earth against the evil scurge know as CORN!

[morea]

shoot, you're right!

[Neballer]

oh sh!t
I think they heard us

[morea]

*crawls under desk and puts paper bag over head*

[mac.FINN]

Careful Mo... they can hear us... the corn has ears.

[Neballer]

what's the paper bag for? I thought you needed tin-foil?

[morea]

that's the genius of it... the paper bag in lined with foil, but they can't see it. They think it's harmless and ineffective. ;)

clever, eh?

[Neballer]

über clever.
I'm going to stick with my spam force field though. It hasn't failed me yet, and in event of an attack I'll be well supplied with food.

[Broacher]

>>Tyger, you still know how to push my buttons.<<

You give in to the temptation of cheesey cakes and the next thing you know, buttons are being pushed out all over. 'Specially the lower ones.

[G-Man79]

Keith, long time, no button!

*starts up Welcome Back, Mr. Kotter theme song*

We know return you to your regularly scheduled Introduce Yourself thread...

[Broacher]

Hey Tigger-- I hopped over to your Monzon site and was surprised to see a photo from somebody in Grimsby (my home base). Then I saw a photo of you and your kid and I thought that the water and rocks in the background look a lot like the ones at Murray Street Park in Grimsby, which is about a 10 minute walk from where I live.

(Could that be the song 'it's a small world, afterall' I hear playing in the background?)

yeah that guy is from there, pretty talented photographer he does alot of nature stuff. As for the pic of my son and I I haven't been to grimsby in a long time, so i don't think it's that place. It is a small world though.

[danedawg99]

Yo, Mo! :d

[morea]

fear the evil that is corn.

[morea]

actually, I have yet to determine the role that shopping carts play in the conspiracy... are they willing participants in helping the Ears to escape from the Markets, or unwitting pawns in a plot beyond their control?

Stay tuned.

[G-Man79]

How I loathe those shopping carts with bum wheels. They're so faking it just so they don't get pushed around.
