*Drum roll* Another newbie!, (Hope you guys aren't sick of another topic like this...) Options

Hi hi all! ^^

And yes, you guessed it, it's that time again today. It's time for the show that introduces the newbies. Shocking! Dismaying! Catalog living...? *Pause* Hmm...this is getting weird.

Ahem! Let me start again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif) My name is Cherryblossom (and sorry about that little mess I wrote above. I guess checking the shopping channel everyday actually drummed that weird little quote into my head. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaeyes.gif) )

Anyways, back to me...I'm a 19-year-old girl and I've been a fan of Harvest Moon for ages and have played a few of the games in this series (and those in the Rune Factory series too). But no HM game piqued my interest quite like Animal Parade did. I searched every website I could to find out more information on it. I also went into various HMAP forums to see what others could tell me. But I was disappointed when most of the time the topics drew completely away from HM, or when the people there were...hmm...I'll remain silent on that point.

Err, this ramble does have a point and I'm getting to it: I was just about fed up with it all, when I happened to stumble upon the Ranch Story Forums. I had previously been to the website but never bothered to look into the forums (don't ask me why)...Until now.

Apart from the amount of information, I was more taken in by the sense of community, and the readiness to accept newbies. This compared to the "BF4EVA" that I would find in other forums, was like a breath of fresh air. Of course I hastily sought out the AP forums and in my giddy state joined and began posting, before even giving myself the chance to introduce myself.

So here I am! Wow...That was quite the intro...Hope I haven't scared anyone away from reading it (Who am I kidding? Even I can't be bothered to read it again ^^;).

Okie dokie, I think I've taken up enough space, so if you feel up to the challenge, post away! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif)
