poppy Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 We've got a thread for favourite avatars but what's your favourite signature? A few I've come across that make me grin ..... Raven - Like a midget at the urinal, I had to stay on my toes .... SueK - KBO (keep buggering on) - Winston Churchill Ned - "If you're gonna be a maniac, pyro's not a good maniac" Jeff Green, Curb Your Enthusiasm and of course Charm - Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself Quote
Chrissy Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I'll definitely second Raven's sig, it makes me laugh every time. I love your one Poppy! No one says it like Neil Young. I cannot remember whose sig this was in, but I also loved the one that reads (or read), 'Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it is too dark to read'. And can I do a special mention for Kell's life affirming 'You Look Fantastic Today'? Great idea for a thread Bron! Quote
Weave Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 I love Kell's signature, it makes me smile everytime I see it Quote
Kell Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Thanks, Chrissy and Weave. I put the "You look fantastic today" one in due to reading a blog called OperationBeautiful - it inspired me to fill an entire Post-It pad with lovely messages to leave around town whenever I'm out. I keep it in my handbag for ease of access. Then I thought, hey, there are people I "see" every day on the forum and they deserve to be told they look fantastic too! You all look great today, bu the way - that colour really suits you! Quote
Nicola Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 ... it inspired me to fill an entire Post-It pad with lovely messages to leave around town whenever I'm out. That's such a good idea Kell. I also really like your family bar to tell us how old Xander is......it's lovely. I like BookJumper's sig as it's her own work and she's a fantastic writer. I also like Sarapepperkaka's sig : "Sometimes I just survive. But sometimes, I stand on the rooftop of my existence, arms stretched out, begging for more. (Markus Zusak)" Quote
BookJumper Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) I like BookJumper's sig as it's her own work and she's a fantastic writer.*blush time* thank you . Some of my favourites include: CaliLily's: Life is not about how well you weathered the storm, it's about how well you danced in the rain. Nightwish's: A Warning: If you rip, tear, shred, bend, fold, deface, disfigure, smear, smudge, throw, drop or in any other manner damage, mistreat or show lack of respect towards this book, the consequences will be as awful as it is within my power to make them. - Irma Pince, Hogwarts Librarian. Chimera: Time to read is always time stolen. (...) Stolen from what? From the tyranny of living - Daniel Pennac. Edited November 28, 2009 by BookJumper Quote
Charm Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Raven - Like a midget at the urinal, I had to stay on my toes .... SueK - KBO (keep buggering on) - Winston Churchill Ned - "If you're gonna be a maniac, pyro's not a good maniac" Jeff Green, Curb Your Enthusiasm and of course Charm - Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself thank you Poppy! Great thread idea! I have to agree with you about your choices, I love all the funny ones that give me a wee chuckle and yours are always lovely I like BookJumper's sig as it's her own work and she's a fantastic writer. Here here! CaliLily's: Life is not about how well you weathered the storm, it's about how well you danced in the rain. I love this one too and I shall remember to check them now as I browse and will definately come back here to post my faves Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 If I'm being honest, I've never really noticed signatures until this thread So thanks for making me aware of them Charm - your's is very true Quote
Nightwish Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Thank you Giulia I read the quote and thought it reflected how possessive I am over books and why I hate letting people borrow them Quote
libri vermis Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 I love Bookjumper's signature. The sentence is powerful and evokes emotion gorgeously. Bookjumper, am I being too forward in asking if I may read more of what you have written? Are you published? If so, where may I purchase one your books? Quote
BookJumper Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Indeed you are not being too forward Libri; to tell the truth, you have rather made my day with your suggestion that I may already be published I am not, except for a couple of poems and translations thereof in my high school's anthology of poetry prize winners. And of course you may read more, I'm only too happy to share my brain children with the world. You can find a brief blurb to the novel-in-progress my signature is lifted from here; I do however have some short stories and much lyrical poetry up my sleeve should you prefer to dip into something shorter. Just PM me . Quote
Vanwa Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 BookJumper, may I just say "Oi". Can I please read some short stories and much lyrical poetry please?! Quote
BookJumper Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 You may indeed say 'Oi' if you so wish you shall receive emailage forthwith, hopefully it will earn me forgiveness. Quote
poppy Posted November 28, 2009 Author Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) This by Geordie Bint, very suitable for a book forum Take me on an adventure, you mark the words I will follow and turn the pages.............. and just saw this by Mia .... I tried being patient, but it took too long... Edited November 28, 2009 by poppy Quote
Mia Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 and just saw this by Mia .... I tried being patient, but it took too long... It's from Buffy, I think it's spoken by Anya. I thought it summed me up quite well, as patience is not one of my strong points! Quote
AbielleRose Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 It's from Buffy, I think it's spoken by Anya. I thought it summed me up quite well, as patience is not one of my strong points! It reminds me of a magnet at my mom's house that says: "God grant me patience, but I want it right now." I love Vanwa's Tolkien quote. Quote
Maureen Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 A Warning: If you rip, tear, shred, bend, fold, deface, disfigure, smear, smudge, throw, drop or in any other manner damage, mistreat or show lack of respect towards this book, the consequences will be as awful as it is within my power to make them. Irma Pince, Hogwarts Librarian From Nightwish Quote
Nightwish Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Thanks Maureen Remind me when someone dares to borrow one of my books next time that I leave that note inside! Quote
Kell Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Nightwish, I may have to have little cards printed up with that on it to slip inside my books - LOL! Quote
scottishbookworm Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 If your all wondering where I got my signature from! I made it up! Quote
Chrissy Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 If your all wondering where I got my signature from! I made it up! But it sounds like it's a quote from a book - you clearly have a great way with wise words. Quote
poppy Posted December 5, 2009 Author Posted December 5, 2009 My latest one is inspired by my ongoing battle and bewilderment with digital devices Quote
Charm Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 My latest one is inspired by my ongoing battle and bewilderment with digital devices Oh dear, that doesn't sound good Great sig though! Quote
scottishbookworm Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 But it sounds like it's a quote from a book - you clearly have a great way with wise words. thank you chrissy! Quote
AbielleRose Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 I really love Nollaig's right now. So beautiful and festive! Quote
