Well, Sterling, I can feel for you. The only cards I got from Dissension are stuff that my friends traded me or bought for me. (I have great friends)
I only get a theme deck and a few boosters from each new set. We're going to split a box of one of the 3 Rav sets, whichever we settle on. This will be one of the few instants of me getting large quantities of cards, ever.

Official Character Sheet Shredder of DAMNIT
DAMNIT: I should never have to shred my own character sheet in frustration.
Well, I just enjoyed a delicious pineapple popsicle! Well, three of them to be precise!
And now, it's time for...
THE WEEKLY REGULAR
It's time for our first of many weekly regulars- This week, the spotlight is on the lovely and charming Sterling Angel!
Sterling Angel, or Kristina as she likes to be called, is a familiar face around not only the Coffeehouse (where she generously provides a full stock of cookies each morning), but around these forums in general.
She first came into play on MTGS back during the migration over from MTGNews in 2005, along with her friends. At the time, she was a member of the [Called], and didn't want to give up the sense of community she had come to enjoy.
Nowadays, Kristina can be found hanging around the Outside Magic forums or in our own Coffeehouse, talking about any number of exciting topics. As always, she is friendly to just about everyone, which has earned her some admirers!
In addition to MTG, Kristina also enjoys reading- sci-fi, fantasy, or nonfiction being her preferred genres. She's also a practiced beader, and makes her own jewelry out of wire and beads (by the way, Kristina, remind me to show you some of my work from my brief wire jewelry career!) She also enjoys needlepoint and drawing, and is a big fan of craftwork in general. She hopes to get her degree in Industrial Engineering, find a nice job, and settle down in a cute little house with a nice guy (QuietArtist, perhaps?), and adopt a few cats someday- a dream I am certain she will someday achieve.
MTG-wise, Kristina is a big fan of angels. Her favorite deck is an angel deck featuring her favorite card, Iridescent Angel, Soul Wardens, and Stormscape Familiars (And as a lover of the Soul Warden, I must compliment her!)
She says she likes her deck because it's a lot of fun to play- and Iridescent Angel doesn't hurt! She has fond memories of cracking open her IA at her first ever tournament, and can still remember her opponent's shocked expression when she did! She has been fond of the card ever since then.
Kristina says she loves the 'House because she likes getting to know the other members. She also agrees that Lightning Helix is an awesome card, although she has never owned any herself.
Kristina is currently busy working on a birthday present for her boyfriend, QuietArtist. She says that while his birthday isn't until September, designing it could take a lot of time. Hopefully not so much time that it cuts into her sleep, however- because she has informed me that when she gets tired, she can become quite silly!
That's all on Sterling Angel, the Coffeehouse Regular for the Week of May 7th, 2006. Hopefully you have gotten to know her a little better- and remember to let her know how awesome she really is!
Stay tuned next week to see who our next regular will be! You'll get to know your fellow 'House patrons, and who knows- maybe next week, you could be in the spotlight!
Wow, I havent visited the coffeeshop for a while. How's Things?! Good to see that this thread is moving just as fast as the other one. You guys post faster than rabbits reproduce...
... akward...
@Dissension; I havent bought a single Pack :(. MY bike needed a tune-up, so I had to spend my $$$ buying a new back tire and a new chain. As soon as I get some more cash, I hope to buy a few packs and play some draft.
Great bio on Kris, Photon. Maybe that'll inspire me enough to post here and get a bio done for me
I'm not really in the mood to read the five hundred billion pages that I've missed, so can someone kinda like, fill me on the happenings here at the coffeeshop?
Photon Eater - I like how you made the answers I gave you to the questions you asked into an actual little bio instead of just a Q&A thing, thats really neat.
Well, you are welcome. It comes with the territory when you are as amazing as I am, you see.
@BweeBwee- Well, not much of anything. Just talking, really. Random FF discussions, random card discussions, random discussions on no real topic in general, and that's about it.

Sounds good, I never really got into FF, but no topic and card discussions are fine, especially when they are random. Are you going to be doing more of these (random) bios?
Yeah, I thought so, so I don't think Chris should be used with a K. For Kristina, I think it's fine, since it has the tina in it, and that ends up being a nickname a lot of the time. Since the full version of Chris is Christopher, and nobody calls them topher (actually, right as I was typing this, I starting thinking about whether this is where Topher, the super graphics-man's name comes from,), K on chris doesn't work.
Sorry, no. I refuse to be criticized for not liking a popular game series.
I don't think that the masculine Chris with a K is all that unusual. I've seen it several times myself. Of course, I wouldn't use it. The Christopher has more character than Kristopher, I think.

I refuse to read all the pages before this one...
Congrats Kris on becoming Regular of the week. Maybe someday...when we get high speed internet, I may get that honor, but I can't now. Every time I hit "post" 5 more have popped up...oh well
Is the regular of the week randomly chosen?
*1st counter hop of the new thread*
*1st blak to be taken out of the fridge in the new thread*
*1st person to lay on the floor in the new thread*
@Photon Eater-And whatt is this about sucking? I love FF, but I don't care if someone else doesn't.
@Sterling Angel-Congrats on being regular of the week! And Kristina being speled with a "K" is cooler than "Ch".
I just realised that 100 posts ago my count was 1337! oh well. I didn't notice it then...
I have orchestra tonight, which consists of the orchestra playing for 2.5 hours and me counting rests for 2...

I suppose you could say it's chosen randomly. I picked Sterling Angel on a whim, actually. I guess I'll just pick people based on how visible they are at the time when I do the thing. Naturally, you can't be spotlighted if you've been done already- at least until everyone has had a chance.
Until then, the only way I can suggest to improve your chances of being featured are to post a lot on Saturdays and Sundays so I'm more likely to see you online, and just to stay active in general, so that you stay a regular.

Right now I'm annoyed. My post count has dropped by about 4. Everywhere I try to post, someone has already said it. I've almost gotten sarnathe'd about 6 times in a few days. And I'm not extremely interested in Coldsnap, so I have trouble posting in those threads. And, I suck at forum games.
On the other note. I don't even think about marriage or children yet. I have no reason to.
Wow, new thread for both of the clans I'm in (here and Dimir)! I couldn't get in here at all Saturday because SATs were being taken in the media center of my school, so I didn't notice all of the new stuff. And there's a poster award too? Cool... *Sips tea*
I love children. My two cousins, ages 9 and 7, are like brothers to me. I'll never name my kid anything really stupid like celebrities love to do. Personally, I think people who name their kid something stupid should not have the means to reproduce again.

I don't think Forum Games counts post counts anymore. I've posted there several times today and my post count never went up. I'll be pissed if they retroactively start reducing posts from those forums from post counts, though.

Aw damn, that's where I get a good amount of posts in stuff like Sig Rating. And I don't think they've retroactively reduced post counts there, because I'd have lost 150+ posts.
I know. Well, I got the bulk of my posts from Custom Card Games and here, but a lot of them did come from Forum Games, as well. It's not a huge loss for me, personally, I was just sort of waiting to lose 40 posts out of nowhere.
Edit: So... did Omna and Arguas elope or something? I've barely seen either of them since this thread started.

Posts in Mafia and Forum Games general do count, but they do not in Quick Reply games.
If posts didn't count in Mafia, I wouldn't have a custom tag right now.

Is that a recent development? Because I've only been a member for 2 months now, and I can guarantee I've gotten post increase from Quick Reply.
Edit: 666th post... 2/3rds to custom, all the way to blasphemy!

Good, you can be my new best friend. Call me every five minutes.
Yes, I'm going to do one every Sunday until either A) everyone is done, or B) I die.
I'm sorry, but Counterspell.
Yes, it is. A kris knife is a type of ceremonial dagger, similar to an athame.
Sorry, no. I refuse to be criticized for not liking a popular game series.

I've actually never met a Kristina with a "K", but I do agree that it is cooler with a K.
I think If I were ever gonna have a kid, I would name it "Marek" if it was a boy and I dont have a clue what I'd name a girl.

I like the name Wesley for a boy, but it works just as well for a girl. I like girls with boyish names, I think it's cute.
