It's okay, everyone! I am finally here!

[CatBru]

You can all relax and bask in my awesomeness now. Or not, if you don't want to. Actually, the amount of people that actually bask in the awesomeness of me is generally one person, including myself. Of course, even that's generally "Oh man, Self, I can't believe how awesomely you messed that one up!"

Anyhoo, enough about me. More about me! (Well, it IS an introduction thread, right? So perhaps the only place where I can talk about myself is in a thread about me. Because then it wouldn't be an introduction thread, but more of a 'how's the weather?' thread.)

My handle, CatBru, is one that is shrouded in mystery. Its origins are widely unknown and basks in a veil of secrecy. (Actually, it's the first three letters of my first and last name. I'm not overly creative when it comes to creating online handles.)

I first made this account, according to my profile, on 13 October 2008. For whatever reason, I never actually posted after that. I lurked, for awhile, but then I moved from my old place out in Colorado to here, in Tennessee. I moved in with my current roommate (who I call Mommy, because she IS my mommy) so that I could afford frivolous stuff like food and gas while I get an education.

As of this posting, I am twenty-seven. Yes, I am in my late twenties and living at home with my mother. The reason for this? Well, I didn't always live at home with my mother! Oh no! For a few years, I was employed by these people, called 'The Government' and worked in this military branch called 'The Army.' I wasn't the best of soldiers, because I apparently don't work well under negative pressure. Which there was a lot of. And I am by no means a neat and tidy person. Which they wanted me to be... Long story short, the Army and I separated on good terms after about five years of being together. To prove that there were no hard feelings, the Army pays for my current education. I was also deployed, which Mommy wasn't too keen on, and because of this she grounded me forever. (She tried to ground my officers, but apparently that didn't stick.) So I live at home.

You know, I think there was a point up there somewhere, but I forget what it was.

I am a college student, working on three separate degrees: Video Production Technologies, Communication Graphic Design, and Web Design. Whether or not I'll get all three is still up for debate. People sometimes tell me I'm pretty, but ninety percent of the time, 'pretty' is followed by 'weird' or 'strange.' The other ten percent is usually an attempt at a compliment from the inebriated sort. (It isn't really a compliment if you heard the same person ten seconds before tell the bar stools they have gorgeous legs.)

I am tall for a man, which is a shame since I'm a woman. Six feet tall, long red hair, and paler than a sheet of printer paper. I tend to stand out in crowds, especially since I bleached my bangs blonde. I have the mentality of a Great Dane that thinks she's a miniature poodle.

I got into Detective Conan a few months before I made this account (way back in '08, if you remember) by, of all things, having watched Fruits Basket. (Voice Actors point me to awesome new shows!) I watched the first eightyish episodes in English, then fell utterly in love with the subbed version.

There was a channel, sometime back, attached to here I believe, that had a chat room and video viewing and... stuff. I was on there a bit. Actually, a lot. About the only thing I remember is I went by 'GoroCat' or something, my text was green, and I made many fail attempts at baking while chatting away there. Then I moved, things changed, and for the longest time I didn't watch one episode of DC. (I know, shame on me!) Then last week, I went "Self, you still have that unfinished fic..." and I watched some episodes to get the character voices back, and now I'm clutching my hard drive full of DC episodes, crying like the little girl that I am, wondering what the heck was I thinking staying away for so long.

Huh. I wonder if I actually DID get some sort of point through with this long old post.

You know, really, if you read all of that you deserve a cookie. Don't worry, store bought!

[Akonyl]

ahoy there for the second time, CatBru! :V

[Kogorou]

Welcome on board
And there is nothing wrong with beeing calles "weird" OR "strange".
If you get called "weird" AND "strange" you proofed your point (like I did)
Anyways have a lot of fun and check out my Riddles *covers because he will be haunted for this*

[Abs.]

'Sup

[PT]

Hello~!

(And, just so you know, I'm officially listing you under "Awesome People.")

[bluekaitou1412]

Ossu!

Conia, do the intro post

[Commi-Ninja]

Welcome!

Also, this section really amused me.  A good friend of mine is currently in the Army Reserve. XD

I must say, I agree with PT.  You definitely belong on the "Awesome People" list.

Welcome to the family!

First and foremost, I'd like to inform you about a certain member here who goes by the name xpon: He is creepy, very very creepy, so if you're a girl, stay the hell away, and if you're a boy stay the hell away. In short, STAY THE HELL AWAY.

On the Off-Topic Board, and I'm sure you'll find soon enough, weird but awesome organizations are commonplace. They doesn't require you to join, but you'll find it hard to resist taking a peek on what they are and what they do. To make things easy for you, here's a list of the current groups inhabiting the OT: First, we have the Japan Domination Committee, the very first DCTP organization founded by yours truly and his awesome cat. If conquering countries is your forte, please visit us here. We might need of your assistance. Next up, the original Harem led by Abs. and PhoenixTears. Harems are normal, so don't get freaked out that much. Though it's okay to scream and yell for help if you ever get recruited. Then we have the ever-so-popular Onionhead Fanclub, managed by our resident onion, nomemory. If you have a penchant for cute emoticons, then you might want to join, if not, I insist, you MUST join. Next in line is the CCP residing in the First Impressions Thread. I can't say much about them, but you'll find out by asking Conia or Callid, the founders of the pact. And last but not the least, my sister's twisted Sad East Kingdom, the newest group to-date. I'll stay away from it if I were you. Unless you're an M, then feel free to... well, be the Queen's slave.

Ever heard of the game Mafia? Come play with us. Let's kill...

...some time.

Oh, and another thing, if you come across Girl19 here, don't pick up a fight (or even discuss something with her) if you don't want to get your ass kicked. Stay away from Kleene Onigiri, too, if she wants to make you her new punching bag-- yes, riceballs can punch. Be wary of Eve for she is, well, evil. I need not to elaborate.

Don't worry about that shadow behind you. That's probably Conia, our Community Detective-- if not, then it's Shadowman, who else? Another one here named Akonyl likes bees. He's the Bee Princess, so he expects you to pay homage to him and give him wasp presents.

A little heads-up: Parkur is a flirt, so don't be surprised if he sends lots of ":-*" your way. (line deleted)

Don't worry, you'll meet lots of friends in the course of your stay here, like bears, holiday butt-punchers, mad scientists, evil princesses, ninja assassins, weird-named people, and drunk raccoons. A lot of skirmishes happen between members, and you might get involved, but please do not try to even utter a single insult against Ai, if you don't want to be squashed, chopped, burned, tortured, pitch-forked or poked by the AiCons. Of course, the same applies to Kaitou KID. Though I reckon it's covered already by the mods.

Oh, I almost forgot! You need to attend this class... you'll need it.

---

DCTP forumers are unique. They're wild, crazy, and out-of-this-world. But that makes them special.

So, again, I welcome you here, and please don't hesitate in praising Haibara, many people do that, you'll pass unadverted in front of the mods eyes. Go off-topic (Even in Off-Topic), annoy people-- just go and have fun.

I'm bluekaitou1412, btw. I'm married to a cookie, and have a cat for a pet. I hope you enjoy your stay... and hopefully you too, will find this family the best there is.

[bluekaitou1412]

Yeah yeah. Thanks for posting it

[CatBru]

ahoy there for the second time, CatBru! :V

Ahoy, ahoy! That was fun to write, even if it was a bit long. (Was it? Hmm. My screen is HUGE so everything seems shorter than it actually is.)

If you get called "weird" AND "strange" you proofed your point (like I did)

Any day that I get called both has been a good day, I think

'Sup

*looks* o.@ A very, very bright light bulb. Owie!

Hello~!

(And, just so you know, I'm officially listing you under "Awesome People.")

Hi and hello! Ooo, yay! I like being on lists that are awesome!

Ossu!

Conia, do the intro post

Ooo, is that like an initiation? I warn you, if I'm to be left out in the middle of a forest in the middle of the night in the middle of a storm, I am so directionally challenged I'll find myself in Hawaii the next day... (Not during the pretty season, but during the time where there's rain up to my neck.)

Welcome!

Also, this section really amused me.  A good friend of mine is currently in the Army Reserve. XD

I must say, I agree with PT.  You definitely belong on the "Awesome People" list.

Thanks! Hi!

Ahhh, I feel your friend's pain! Although sometimes it was made of gloriousness. Depending on the day, though!

Ooo, I am liking this list already. I'll try not to dweeb it up too much with my inherent dweebness

(Ahhh, I went to press post, two more! Wee!)

Hmmm. I like cookies, the only waspish type gift I can think of is honey but that's more beeish, I am used to dealing with creepy, very very creepy, people and have learned that mentioning the fact that I have shot a 50-Cal tends to scare some people off, the Mafia thing sounds fun for I do so enjoy killing without actually killing, I wouldn't know how to fight I tend to hide in the corner and cry as opposed to argue back with someone, riceballs while yummy do pose a punch especially if imbued with some mind altering drug although I assume this from pure speculation and bet if they had fists their punches would indeed hurt, I wouldn't know if someone flirted with me if they actually said 'Hey dorkface, I'm flirting with you here,' evil people are evil yet awesome, so you mean it wasn't my imagination that was actually someone peeking at me from around a corner GASP, why would I say anything bad about Ai wish I'd be that cool when I grew up, and hey what's wrong with Kid people are just jealous that they don't pull off white as well as he does-

*collapse*

I should learn to breath when I type

ahoy there for the second time, CatBru! :V

Ahoy, ahoy! That was fun to write, even if it was a bit long. (Was it? Hmm. My screen is HUGE so everything seems shorter than it actually is.)

well, at the very least it was longer than other intro posts.

As to giving me bee/wasp related presents, no, that's completely fine. You don't have to, I swear. :V

[bluekaitou1412]

Hey dorkface, I'm flirting with you here.

Muahaha! Then my honey for my tea is safe? Wewt! (I'm not opposed to sharing, though. Its yummy honey made right here. Well, around here somewhere. And is apparently from some tree or something. I forget the name )

Hey dorkface, I'm flirting with you here.

*Blinks and looks to the left* I think he's talking to you. (The response I got was 'Mrowr?')

Hey dorkface, I'm flirting with you here.
