Hello Everyone

Avenir 07-01-2004 01:51 AM
Greetings, I am Gundam Avenir. I joined in April, but I never had the opprotunity to properly introduce myself. I have been a Big O fan since it aired on Cartoon Network's Toonami block in late 2000. After it went off the air, I kind of forgot about it. That was, until Adult Swim announced that they would be showing the second season in late summer 2003. I was excited, and all the memories of the big, black Megadeus called Big O came flooding back.

In case you are wondering, Avenir is French for 'future'. And I have no doubt that some of you are familiar with Mobile Suit Gundam, which is one of my favorite anime sagas.

I live in Georgia, and before I continue let me put it clear that I am NOT a redneck. We have a lot of them here, but I am not one of them. I make my living as a security and high-end home electronics sales consultant. We sell security systems, fire alarms, high-end home theater equipment, home automation systems, etc.

Well, I look forward to a long and lasting relationship with this forum and it's members. It's good to meet you all. See you around.

Welcome to the fora of amnesia. I hope you are not attached to your sanity, because they are not allowed in this place. Enjoy our plethora of FanArt, FanFic and Fan-Debates.

Once again, welcome to Paradigm City, Gundam Avenir.

Greetings, Gundam Avenir. I am Alana Gabriel, unofficial spokeswoman for the Alanite party. For long cycles, Paradigm City has fallen prey to the rampages of the Black Megadues and it's megalomaniac Dominus Roger Smith. With the Alanites in charge, no longer will you have to live in fear of your apartment sinking into the street. With the Alanites in charge, no longer will you live in fear of falling manhole covers. And with the Alanite party in charge, you will no longer live in fear of android women and black haired men and their obsessed fanbase. Anyways. Welcome to Paradigm, and vote Alan '04. Because insanity is quality.
