Hi, new to RLL!

(God, I love the emoticons!!)




Hey Guys and Gals,

Looking forward to spending a big chunk of my time here,
I have to step out,
But will be back!

Hi Everybody,

Nothing much about me,

I am a female, I practice Reiki. I read a lot. I ask questions a lot. I am still learning about Reiki. When I was brand new Reiki 1, a while ago, I knew exactly what Reiki was.

All my comprehension was innocent & pure and with blind faith . Then I got around forums, learned the good with the bad and the junk.

Right now, I am just gathering and seeking.... ...enjoying the journey!

About the website:-
It's really adorable! ( LOVE the emoticons!! so cute...) I will follow all rules and I will try my best regarding my grammer and spelling. My dog ate it like 5 years ago! Now the more I stare at a word, the more confused about the spelling , I become!

I have been eyeing the topic about the universal life force, can't wait to get into it!!

Oh, Just had fun picking Avatars!!!

Uber cool collection!! Awesome Job with the website!

I've had those days before. Don't know what I'd do if it was all the time.

Look at those emoticons, how can I not get excited over those?

The worst way to communicate is through the internet, can't see people's face, can't read their eyes... but emoticons help!

...it's also a personality glitch!

chuckle... personally, I don't mind if other folks use the emoticons, but I don't. I don't particularly like them.

I can get into the why's and wherefores if you'd like... but for now I will leave it a mystery...

Oh No,
(You shouldn't have said that.....Personality glitch no 2 - too curious...)

Hmmmm...
Why ever not? What's not to like?

Oh well, this will test just how excited you can get without your head imploding...


















had enough yet?

I fancy myself a writer. I really love how expressive and eloquent the written word can be. I enjoy both reading and writing as descriptively as I can. Although sometimes I just write my thoughts on message boards such as these, which often causes the problems you expressed above.

I feel that using “text speak” (i.e. “u r kool” or “I h8t u”) or emoticons (although you will see me type out a chuckle or smile or even use the old <g> for grin) is a lazy and rather ineffective way to portray emotion. Ultimately I would wish everyone would be able to eloquently write out what they want to express. But I know that isn’t always possible at the various different aptitudes people have for such. So I generally tolerate, with a smile (real one), the emoticons.

Andy, That's cool!
I guess you choose words for expression and I choose pictures( for garnish )! We both are using different expressions - is all!
I absolutely LOVE to read something beautifully written. I can melt into those words and enjoy them but can't write some myself.

Actually , althought the text speak is annoying, I see creativity and intelligence there. It's not all that easy to write text speak, a skill you have to learn. I wouldn't use it in a forum though and I can't text speak. Period.
I actually liked it when you wrote 'chuckle'.... I thought that was pretty effective.


Actually emoticons save me in a way. I say stuff. I express opinions. But I am also nervous that they could be interpreted negatively... I make jokes. I don't want to hurt people's feelings.
So emoticons are my safety net. Hopefully peppering my post with emoticons with make it 'light hearted' which is what I want!

That will be really nice, Yes! I can understand your passion as a writer.
I am a borderline vocab/grammer/spelling Klutz. But I will remember to put in my best effort at writing. I don't mind.
Maybe I will watch you and learn.
