*sneaks in to a seat in the back*

Hello? Is this thing on? *taps microphone*

My name is Athena. *points to handle* Most commonly known on the interwebs as steampunkgrrrl.
I live in Toledo, Ohio with my fiancee. I'm a mechanical engineer by trade (just not in employment right now). I play all kinds of games, puzzles, and do some crafting. I'm an Otaku and Steampunk Enthusiast. I also read Comic Books, Fantasy Novels, and Classics.

That is all. Thank you and do carry on. ^-^

Hello Athena, welcome to the boards. :)
I'm a steampunk fan myself, so I'd love to see some of the stuff you do.

Wolf? *swoon*

And yes, steampunk and all its little subcultures are pretty interesting. It's really become kind of fashionable of late (which some steampunks are growing to regret).

Thanks for the warm welcome! ^-^

Gasp! I have to say, I fucking love your name, I had a rat called Athena and if ever I have a daughter, I think she should be Athena too. >.>

Unintended creepiness aside, welcome to the forums, here's hoping you settle in nicely. *tips hat*

I don't even particularly like TLoZ but I'd name my child that. Also Mist. Dammit even if my kid turns out a fat gross chunk she'll have a sexy name.
