Hey Raveners- I'm new!

[Kate]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this- but I'm new to this message board and just wanted to introduce myself! My name is Kate and I have been an Indy fan for as long as I can remember. It'll be great to talk Indy with other fans. See ya!

[Strider]

Welcome Kate!

[Kate]

Thankyou Strider!

luv your screen name!

[Strider]

Thank you. Im kind of new here myself.

[Kate]

we're in this together then. heheh

[Strider]

Cool, your in theater to. I do alot of acting in the summer.

[Tennessee R]

Hello, Kate. As 00Kevin (One of the very frequent posters on this board) would say:

"Welcome to the Raven, where paths cross." (C)00Kevin

Hope you have as good of a time here as I've had.

[Strider]

"Im making this up as i go"- That's one of my favorite lines.

[Kate]

I'm sure I will, Ten- can I call you Ten?

Yeah, I've been "lurking" around here for awhile, without joining. I feel like I know everyone already!

Thanks guys!

[00Kevin]

Ya know, I'm the coolest Ravener :cool:

hahaha, all that aside, I welcome you to this here establishment

[Kate]

Thankyou Kevin, I love your screen name by the way!

[grumpus]

Strider and Kate are at it again hmm two lovebirds who love Indy, nothing better

[Kate]

you are quite grumpy, grumpus, but ah well.

[Attila the Professor]

Welcome folks...I'm an actor sort myself, so you're in good company, when it comes to one person at least... ;)

But seriously, I'm always willing to help you folks, and I can probably say the same for Canyon, 00Kevin, and some other folks that I'm not sure enough I can say that about...but it's a nice place, so stay awhile.

[Strider]

Prehaps you are overdoing it grumpus, Kate is a friend, not necesarily a lover.

[grumpus]

hes telling the truth Attila and everyone else here is great

[Kate]

Thankyou strider... and atilla as well.

[Pale Horse]

Like morning dew on tulip leaves,
she floats amoung, a semibreve;
anticipation,
Gone.
Bereave.

Rarely do I wax poetic, but alas, I am smitten. Welcome to the Raven. Ware paths Kaross. <small>spelling intentional</small>

I'm sure your aware of your monikers history. If not, I will expound:

Aikaterina <small>Kate is a diminutive of this Greek woman</small> was the daughter of a rich and noble prince of Alexandria. She was very beautiful, and being at the same time highly talented, she devoted herself to Greek literature as well as to the study of the languages of all nations, and so she became wise and learned. And it happened that the Greeks held a festival in honor of their idols; and seeing the slaughter of animals, she was so greatly moved that she went to the King Maximinus and expostulated with him in these words: 'Why hast thou left the living God to worship lifeless idols?' But the Emperor caused her to be thrown into prison, and to be punished severely. He then ordered fifty orators to be brought, and bade them to reason with Aikaterina, and confute her, threatening to burn them all if they should fail to overpower her. The orators, however, when they saw themselves vanquished, received baptism, and were burnt forthwith, while she was beheaded. THat is why your name forever means "pure"

I hope that you do not meet the same fortune here. With the warm response you received tonight, from many members I respect, I doubt it will come to fruition.

[Tennessee R]

Yes Kate, you may call me Ten. You know, I have been reading the posts on the Raven for about a year now, so it's kindof the same with me.

[00Kevin]

except you don't have all the raveners chasing after you like it's free kiss day

[Webley]

Hi

[Kate]

Good morning everyone-

Thankyou for the poem, apalehorse. 'twas lovely. And Kate is indeed my real name, not a screen name. I couldn't think of anything both inventive and indyish. I wanted to be Miss Ravenwood, but it was taken. Ah well.

[LASTCRUSADER]

Welcome to the Raven Kate.

[Kate]

Thanks Lastcrusader!

[grumpus]

now 00Kev only a few of you are chasing Kate "cough me cough"

[MP3]

Welcome to The Raven, Where Threads Grow Like The Pueraria Lobata (©2004 MP3)

Ya know, the first name of the actress who plays Willie Scott is also Kate - as in Kate Capshaw. That's why I nicknamed you "Ms. Capshaw, or Cappie for short" in the other thread.

If religion and debate is your thing, check out these. Be wise, though. With the many passions that frequent this place topics in these threads must be handled delicately. Don't let others passions provoke yours. But I'm sure you knew that already.

Well, apalehorse. You certainly do have a way with the ladies, don't you? ;)

[Kate]

hey Canyon, you write indy fan fic? me too!

Believe it or not, there is still some charm in me, yes. :o

But, you my dear, are spoken for.

[Canyon]

Hi Kate. Welcome to The Raven!

Yay, another female Indy fan, and someone else who writes Indy fan fiction! :D

Are your stories online cos I would love to read them! :D

[Kate]

no, they're not. to tell the truth I've written only one, but it was a full length screenplay so...

[Canyon]

Sounds interesting. Is it typed up?

[Kate]

yeah, but it sucks. :)

you would probably hate it.

[Canyon]

I'm sure it doesn't. Don't be so hard on yourself.

[Kate]

the plot is really stupid. or at least, to an expert fanfic writer like you, it would seem dumb.

[Canyon]

Me an expert? Hardly. I'm just someone who loves the character of Indiana Jones, but thank you for the compliment.

BTW, I would very much like to read it.

[Kate]

thankyou canyon! maybe you shall read it one day.

[Pale Horse]

Let Canyon read it. "Trust me" ;)

[Kate]

i trust you, apalehorse.

[Kate]

so palehorse, you're a writer? me too, kind of. well, I write plays for a children's theatre, if that counts.

[Pale Horse]

That is one of the best ways to be a writer. You are giving to children. Kudos.

[Kate]

thanks! what do you write?

[Pale Horse]

Primarily:
Screenplays & Publish Poetry

But I am also involved in:

Grants, Term Papers ;) , Editorials and the like. My money comes as a policy writer.

[Kate]

wow! i just replied to your thread in indy 4. I want to be a screenwriter. i am going to major in dramatic writing in college. what types of screenplays do you write?

[Pale Horse]

Oddly enough, thrillers. Feel free to brows around in the film classics forum. You'll see some of my light heartedness, I'm sure.

[Kate]

have any of them been made, actually?

i know it's really hard to sell a screenplay.

[Pale Horse]

I wish. Closest I have come is interest from Art Montrastelli expressing interest in a script he said "...[he] could take to Universal right now and sell it for a million dollars, cut you in for 10%..." That was this past November.

[Kate]

wow!!!

it sure takes guts to go into that business- guts I don't think I have.

At least I'm not a screamer.

;)

[Pale Horse]

Not guts, confidence. You get told "no" in so many creative ways.

[Kate]

that's what I've heard.

Have you written any plays?

[Pale Horse]

No, they are much different. While screenplay writing is technical, plays involve much more complicated dialogue structure because everything else you have to work with (on stage) is so limited. Things like setting and place have to be spoken about, more than pictured. Not my cup of tea, really.

I forgot to mention short stories, too. I like narrative writing.

[Kate]

as do i! have you had anything published?

[Strider]

i once wrote a play, it was a suspence thriller called The 3rd Room. I don't know what happened to it though.

[Kate]

that's too bad. :(

[Pale Horse]

Originally posted by Kate

Not yet, only poetry

[Strider]

Yeah... Who knows, mabey i'll find it agian somtime.

[Kate]

as have i. poetry.

[Pale Horse]

Originally posted by Kate

No money in poetry, though.

[intergamer]

I once wrote a book, it was called "Parry Hotter", and I thought it was really good. But it disappeared before I got it published, and I don't know what happened to it. Oh well, maybe I'll find it someday.

[grumpus]

i leave for few hours and look what has happened, what is this poetry talk, but really folks, i might like to see some of that

[Pale Horse]

Be careful what you wish for.

I can send you one of my published poems, or paste it here...

[grumpus]

id like to see one, but not a long, too much thinking makes my head hurt

[Kate]

ooh post a romantic one!

[Pale Horse]

Originally posted by Kate

I'm afarid I don't have a romantic one published. :(

perhaps something else?


[Edited by apalehorse on 02-09-2004 at 05:49 pm]

[Kate]

ok

[grumpus]

hmmm anything might be nice

[Pale Horse]

Absolute

I hold a spoon, which isn’t there,
And it’s reflecting me;
But when the spoon begins to bend,
I slowly start to see:

That I am just an empty hole,
Within a lump of clay;
A needle’s eye, where camels walk;
The open-gated way.

I am a drop of water in
An ocean made from sand,
The riddle of the answer for
The single clapping hand.

Or maybe I am beauty pure,
In poems penned by Keats;
Perhaps the jealous lover, chaste;
That Plato must compete.

But who am I to see such truths
Their trouble, lies within;
Alas, the glass is empty now
That I was looking in.

(c) Zachary 2003

[grumpus]

good, but like i said, it made me think to much and now ive got a headache

[Pale Horse]

Sorry 'bout that. Just be glad I didn't post the phonic poem.

[Kate]

i liked it!

[Pale Horse]

Why thank you. Now about that drink...?

[Kate]

;)

Five minutes...

[Pale Horse]

I'm the one with the apples...you should be *pause







































letting down your hair or something...

[Kate]

will do!

[grumpus]

huh?

[Pale Horse]

Originally posted by Kate

I knew you had, the scent of flowers filled the Bar.

[grumpus]

seriously, what is happening to these threads

[Pale Horse]

This one is about "newness"

Flowers, Indy steals a flower for Elsa, Flirts with Willie. I think this one is okay.

[grumpus]

o yes, thankyou kind sir

[Kate]

i am not understanding these last few posts. help me.

[grumpus]

youre in the same boat as me since last night i have no idea what is going on

[Pale Horse]

Originally posted by Kate

Grumpus was trying to understand our exchange about letting hair down and returning in five minuets etc. He felt (it seems) that you and I were way off topic.

At this point it's all water under the bridge.

Hmmmmmmmmm... sounds like someone's been watching "The Matrix". Am I correct? ;)

[Pale Horse]

Very Good. But the spoon reference is not just a Matrix backhand....

[Indyologist]

Hi Kate, welcome to the Raven. Watch for flying bullwhips. That's why we all have scars on our chins in here. Or perhaps you'd like to be "initiated" :eek:!

Ya Kate any gear?

[Kate]

All right, I think you misunderstood me. I understood palehorse's posts, but not grumpus'. But I do now, so it's fine. No worries. As far as gear goes, I have a pink fedora, but it's not at all indyish. And i DO NOT have a whip- what kind of girl do you think I am?

[Strider]

Interesting repley.

[Strider]

sorry bout the spelling REPLY.

[Kate]

I found it just as interesting, Strider. :)

Nope, sorry Ren, there is no "gear" in my life. Besides my pink short-brimmed fedora from Express (a chick store).

[Kate]

btw Ren, are you obsessed with 'gear'? it sure seems like it.

[Strider]

I cant blame him if he is. Indy gear is awsome!

[Kate]

Ren- you're making it youre life's work to see that fedoras return to style? Well, my pink fedora is stylish! if that counts, which I somehow doubt.

[grumpus]

o the pink fedora probably is "stylish" but i dont think Ren would look great in it

[Strider]

well said.
