Curiousity got the best of me I guess.

This is the place to say hi, if you're new. If you're old then nobody cares. Quit complaining and take your pills.

Douche is the French word for shower. In what way is that odd?

I actually didn't know what it was either until just now. I thought it was just some random insult.

"A Douche (/duʃ/, French for "shower") in American English generally describes a stream of water or a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or "sanitary" reasons. In other languagesâ€"and non-US Englishâ€"douche only has the original French meaning of shower: it is a notorious false friend encountered by non-native speakers of English in the USA."

I only know your name cause Les said it in her first welcome post to you. ;) But umm...hello btw! XD Nice to meet you. My name is April obviously. I don't have much time to post here too often. So you won't see me around too much. But, it's nice to meet you anyhow. :D

Yeah I know. =P

I'm just generally not accustomed to a whole forum referring to each other by their first name. But, it's nice to meet you too, April.

Sorry about that, I don't like conforming much. If i know someones first name I'll generally use it.

I like knowing peoples names.

Nah, don't worry about it. I don't much care either way. Everyone here seems pretty cool, so it doesn't bother me.

didn't warn you about that did i?

oh well, chances are if people put forth the effort to learn and use your first name, it generally means they like you.

for example, very few people called shin by his given name, except for a few friends he had. Mik eventually had to eat him for duche-ness...
