A very big "HELLO" to everyone in Mohican Land!
I'm a fairly new reader of the Mohicanpress web pages but I have quickly become a real fan of the 'Board' and it's array of highly amusing, informative, intelligent (you know who you are!)and as nuts about LOTM as I am, posters! In fact, I have become so envious of the fun you have, I decided it was time I 'met' you properly, so - "how do you do, I'm Kate".
I have been getting in touch with Marcia. It was she who suggested I introduce myself and let you know that I, too, am heading for Chimney Rock, come June.
I can't help feeling, though, that in doing that, I may be doing myself a great dis-service! If, in the course of posting, I cannot keep up the pretense of 'intelligent', that's my whole street cred blown and I may find I become a 'no-go' area on June 10 - 12th! Of course, that may be the whole point of the pre-Gathering posting! Perhaps this is an initiation test, designed to assess whether I am simply an 'idiot' or truly 'mentally incompetent'! Ah well, you were bound to suss me out eventually, anyway!
Now, like all good 'posters', I reckon I should have a 'nom de plume' (sorry! I forgot the French were 'on the other side!) and I thought perhaps I could be the "Dawn Treader" - oops, wrong book! - the "Dawn Trader"! That seems to be the time here in Scotland when the 'board' is coming to life - just as I'm finally sloping off to bed! Anyway, any suggestions will be most gratefully received! (But please - try to be kind! I'm just new here and easily put off!). For now, happy hunting! I look forward to getting to know you all.
Slainte,
Kate.
P.S. - once again, Happy Birthday, Marcia!
