    Of course you may, Priyanka. I love your name, by the way. It's really pretty!

    So are we all in agreement that we shall adopt the white sqare with a black dot? Are there other suggestions? Be creative, people! We must represent ourselves in all our glory.

    VIVA LOS NEWBIES!

    The rebel flag? I don't know what the rebel flag is. But if it has a "the" infront of in, then we shouldn't use it as it's probably already been used. We need something brand new!

    i refuse to stand under anything that represented the oppresion of a race. rebel flag is out of the question. i say we take a majority vote.

    Allison, welcome to the club! ^_^

    We won't stand under anything that represents something offensive to other people. We need to be open and accessible for everybody!

  • Nookie

    yes, i am an avid supporter that anyone who waves the rebel flag should be severely punished. i mean, do you people know what that stands for!? and DONT say state rights, because that is only about 3% of its full meaning. meh.

    *arches a brow at Morgan* Mr. President, huh?

    Welcome to the club, Ashley. Don't mind Morgan, he gets a little excited sometimes.

    Okay, no rebel flag. I don't want to lose anyone over this. Thank you for the suggestion, though! Suggestions are a very good thing. Give me mooorrrreee! ^_~

    hmm i think that sounds like a good idea, like the pen is mighter than the sword, but it might still be a good idea to keep a sword handy. yeah, i kinda like that. a scroll with a famous or really good poem on it, and a sword going through it. maybe more could be added to that..

  • Sarah

    While it does sound mighy and very strong, it kinda feels like we're saying we're gonna slice open poetry like a can-opener through that container of tuna that's been sitting on the top shelf for about three years and you discovered one day while hunting through the pantry because you were so hungry you thought you were gonna shrivel up into a little ball and disappear because your tummy digested itself and the rest of you.

    HA! That is only the best analogy EVER! Or... is it an analogy? I always get those logy's mixed up. ^_^

    ....I had coffee. -_-

  • Nookie
    20 years ago

    yes of course it is!! most everyone is welcome!!

    hmm well i think she has a point, but still it is a cool symbol..: ponders:

  • ShadowedPhoenix

    Hey again:)
    I think the square idea was symbolic but the whole sword thing doesn't sound to bad........ I sadly have no suggestions i'll try to think of some:)

    Thanks Nookie Same to you and all the Wicked newbies:)

  • Sarah

    Welcome to all the new members!

    I think that each week we should have one member who we will spotlight. It should be highly encouraged for the members of the newbie club to visit this person's profile page and check out one of their poems and vote and comment on it.

    If this is a popular idea, we'll put it into effect this coming monday.

    Happy holidays to all!

    Oh... and I REALLY like the "Wicked Newbies" saying!! That's AWESOME!

  • Nookie
    19 years ago

    great thinking!! i second the notion for "Noob of the Week." and also I'd like to be the first to say Merry Christmas day. :D Hope you all have a great day tomorrow, or today, or had a great Christmas, depending on when you read this.

    Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight.

  • Sarah
    19 years ago

    We have a nomination!

    Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it.
    Happy Holidays to everyone who doesn't.

    I would post more, but I'm being called to breakfast. I got what I wanted for Christmas, a cute fuzzy stuffed animal! And a karaoke machine. I'mna have SO MUCH FUN annoying people.

  • ShadowedPhoenix
    19 years ago

    So at least we know what Sarah was doing for Christmas day~ Busting out her vocals:)!!!!!

    I like that idea, very creative!!!
    I nominate.........(This is real nail biting stuff)
    I'll go for Nookie to!

    And Merry Christmas everyone:)

  • Nookie

  • Sarah

  • Nookie

    O.O

  • Sarah
    19 years ago

    I dunno. I totally applaud the effort, but I think that poetry is about who we are. I think your poetry is best when you're you. Don't change! *sob*

    Wow, how hippie of me! ^_~

  • Nookie
    19 years ago

    hahah hippies are awesome.

    three cheers for hippies!

    Okay!

    Members of the Newbie Club! I hereby decree that we will begin a new tradition! Each week a new member will be named and each member is encouraged to go to their page and rate and comment on one poem of their choice. I will most happily take on the responsibility of naming the person of the week.

    This week it will be Nookie!

    Rate and comment on one of this poems, oh members of the Newbie Club. I so decree it!

  • ShadowedPhoenix
    19 years ago

    What Sarah says shall be done! lol!

  • Sarah
    19 years ago

    That's a good suggestion, Morgan, but I'm just afraid that it will turn into a popularity contest. If I just randomly choose, people won't feel unloved if they aren't picked right away.

    ^_~

    *looks around innocently, then bumps the topic back to the top of the list* Durnit, I need to go do some recruiting! *stomps off all determined like*

  • C.Blondy

    question what exactly is the Newbie Club anyway

  • ShadowedPhoenix
    19 years ago

    Hey all!! Sorry I was on holiday! Hey all the new newbies!!! Where's Sarah?? Hey Morgan...question, isn't it meant to be a vote?? Just wondering, not that i mind it's just that I'm a little confused about this whole thing.... so let me know k:)
    Speak soon and sorry it's late but HaPpY nEw YeAr!!!

  • Nookie
    19 years ago

    One thing that needs to be established, Sarah was only in charge because nobody else volunteereed and she was doing a good job of it, she is the most neutral of all of us. Another thing, it was both her and my idea to start this, so no matter what number you seem to think you are, I am still second in command, altough I don't think there should be command, I would gladly take over temporarily to make sure I could uphold the club's best interest.

    Nookie.

  • Nookie
    19 years ago

    It wasn't the choosing a member, its saying that stuff about being the leader of the newbies or w/e.

    Its all good though.

    Nookie.

  • ShadowedPhoenix
    19 years ago

    The club lives on!!! Whatever Morgan your just to sensitive and nookie was just trying to help! Thanks Nookie i'm sure you'll be a good "commander" and thanks for clearing it up.

  • ShadowedPhoenix

    Yes of corz!!! Welcome!!

  • ShadowedPhoenix
    19 years ago

    Look Morgan the sun does not shine out your bum so leave the club or stay but grow up, k? If your leaving then stop putting annoying msg's here!! The club is fine without you, we would rather not have you ego here, So leave Sarah and Nookie alone you oversensitive fool!!

  • Sarah

    *falls over from the total amount of posts* Wow! Yay for us! We are growing! Welcome to all the Newbies who have joined whilst I was away. You are most welcome in our small (but hopefully growing) community.

    I'm super sorry about just disappearing! I had to go on a school trip for about two weeks, but I'm back now and grovelling for forgiveness! Please forgive me! Pleeeaaasssseeee!!

    About the apparent power struggle-- Um, we're just a club. Let's try not to make this an unpleasant place to be, because that's the last thing I want.

    My Ideal: A warm and friendly place for the newbies of P&Q where questions can be asked/answered.

    So, let's just shut down the entire title system, okay? There are no numbers. There are no leaders. We are all equal here, newbie or oldbie! I am, however, taking over the Poet of the Week feature because I don't want it to become a mess. I will choose one person from the club a week to feature and, as I've said before, it is highly recommended that each member go read at least one poem and rate and comment on it. There is no way to enforce this, though, so I will simply remind you that you get what you give.

    Again, sorry that I've been gone! Promote the club, spread the word! We always want more members. Oh, and pardon my spelling errors. I'm too lazy to check the entire post.

  • Sarah

    I also want to put out there that I do hope people went to see Laura and rate/comment one of her poems-- I did!

    The next Featured Poet of the Week is ShadowedPheonix. You guys know the rules! Thanks for all your participation!
