Better late than never, right?

Hey everyone!!!!
I'm not great at this introduction stuff, so bear with me.

I've been a member since March I believe, so I figured it is time to introduce myself.
I'm a rather shy person, and I have a little bit of social anxiety. (exactly why I don't post much on here...I'm afraid of not fitting in) I'm a dork I know... but anyone else with anxiety like me should understand.
Well...here goes nothing.
I'm Nicole, 19, with a 2-year-old daughter....Dasia. She's my world, the reason I breathe. I was definately a troubled teen before I became pregnant. I don't even try to think about where I would be without her...probably on the front page of DD. (not really, but you get the drift)
I have a fasination for true crime and oddities of the world. Currently, I am working at a Metal Fabrication Shop as an Engineering Assistant. It's relatively easy job granted the fact that my step father owns a percentage of the shop, and he is the Engineer that I assist....lol.
Eventually I want to become a specialist on crimes against children & elderly. Also, I want to help out troubled children and teens. My family always tells me that I can't help everyone in the world, but the way I look at it, I can try. Every little bit helps.
I also love to dance (mostly hip hop) and I'm obsessed with fashion. Shoes and undies are my love. I have lots and lots and lots of both.
I found DD reserching a story I read on CrimeLibrary....and have been here nearly every day since. My family thinks I'm addicted....and I think they're right. I'm constantly going home telling my sister "OH MY GOSH I READ THE CRAZIEST SHIT ON DREAMINDEMON TODAY!!!"
I don't know what else to say except be easy on me!!!!

(don't kill me if my spelling is bad...it's not my strong point....numbers are)

Welcome DPM. The world is a crazy place.

Countess Olenska · #3 July 3rd, 2008, 03:33 PM

Welcome Welcome. Go forth and post much!

Mamma

MISSanthropic · #4 July 3rd, 2008, 03:36 PM

Welcome, DPM! My family/friends also think I'm addicted... they say I have turned into some sort of computer nerd. Oh well, those fools are missing out! :D

"I can try. Every little bit helps."

I think I like you already.

"they say I have turned into some sort of computer nerd."

You say that, as if they think it is a bad thing? <tongue>

How come my gravatar does not show up?
:(
I'm computer retarded....
I cant figure out how to put those cute lil quotes below my posts, either.

Abroad · #10 July 3rd, 2008, 04:16 PM

I am assuming you're in your profile messing with the gravatar? What sort of code are you putting in?

I just went to Gravatar.com and did it that way....

Abroad · #12 July 3rd, 2008, 04:28 PM

Hmmmmmm

Have you tried uploading directly from your own computer to make a custom avatar? That is what I did. Uncertain whether the file has to be a jpg file. Mine is. Probably one of the owners can enlighten us.......

Countess Olenska · #13 July 3rd, 2008, 04:45 PM

gravatar is for the main page. You can go to your Control Panel and edit your avatar there for the forums. As for the quotes and signature lines you have to donate to get those. I'm ELITE yo!

Abroad · #14 July 3rd, 2008, 04:48 PM

Ah! That would explain why my avatar does not work on the front page

Thanks for enlightening us!

Athena · #15 July 3rd, 2008, 04:53 PM

A metal fabrication shop, huh? What kind of work? Sheet metal? Speciality? Auto or aero?

I was in the metal business for many a moon. Frankly, although it was fantastic experience, I'm happy to be out of it. I'll never have to clean another CNC machine again. :D

Thanks for introducing yourself, and a belated "welcome" to you. :)

SoUncool · #16 July 3rd, 2008, 07:38 PM

Hi DPM! Don't be shy! Everybody on here will help walk you through whatever you want - trust me, they've all helped me a whole lot. I think most of on here are addicted and it really is empowering to be able to say the words fuck, asshat, dickwad, douchebag, dumbass, stoopid piece of shit, etc. on here and everybody nods and gives you thanks for saying what's on your mind. Feel free to private message any of us to get help if you need it.

I'm predicting you're going to be a rock star on posting all the dirty little tidbits you can find.

sherrz · #17 July 3rd, 2008, 08:12 PM

Hi DPM and welcome :). I know what ya mean about being addicted to this site, my boyfriend just shakes his head whenever I talk about this site haha. He reads some of the stories when I tell him about them, but other ones he's just like, "oh, okay." This is the best true crime site I've ever come across, and that's just because I love the humor here!

AnalBreeze · #18 July 4th, 2008, 02:12 AM

Welcome to the Demon, DPM!

Harley_Tech · #19 July 4th, 2008, 03:28 AM

Welcome aboard DPM. Jump right in, the waters fine.

We do a multitude of things, custom fabrication, enclosures, contract manufacturing, signs, pretty much anything you can think of, we helped rebuid the subways after 911, shit, we even make those things in the cell phone stores that holds the sample phones on the counter so nobody steals them (my description is not good, so hopefully ya'll will know what I'm talking about). Yes ma'am, cleaning ANY machine is a pain, let alone the CNC (Strippit) it's the most used, so by far the most dirty.
I work in the Engineering office, so I do not get dirty, much.
Unless they want me to run a brake press, or the CNC...then it's dirty time for me... lol.
I don't mind getting dirty from time to time

but not in the working sort-of way. lol.
Hopefully soon, I will get pregnant (trying sooooooo hard!!)

and be able to take a few months off, its exausting working here.

(sorry it took so long to reply, I was having some log in difficulties)

Click the little arrow next to User CP on the red bar up above and you'll find it.

Warm welcome to you DPM! I was a troubled teen myself, perhaps more of us were than you think, not sure.

I also have alot to be greatful for, and my life is so completely different today than it was in my teens.

I too had to stand up and say "My name is JLT and I am a Dreamin Demon addict".

Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself.

Gilbrit · #24 August 23rd, 2008, 09:46 PM

Welcome to D'D!
Glad you are here!

Morbid · #25 August 27th, 2008, 11:42 AM

I missed this introduction, among others, so I apologize. Welcome to the site. If you have any other site related questions that cannot be answered by other members, feel free to PM myself or Imp. We actually do respond back eventually. :)
