Hello!

Hm... Where to start...

I guess I can start by saying my name is Drake.  I was born and raised in France.  I've lived here for 21 years now. I have some interests, like Sports, Games, Food, Dragons, and Cuddling!  (I am a very cuddly Dragon! ^^")  

Above all though, spending time with friends is what I enjoy the most. :3 As well as cuddles.

I'm currently studying in Software Development.  This will be my last year of study before I head out for the U.S.  I'm also a future webmaster, and I intend to make my own website oncefinish to learn javascript.  I already know html, php and mysql.  After that, I will just need to find a Web Designer.  ^^"

I've been a part of the Furry Fandom for... almost 3 years now.  I've been to a lot of conventions here in France, but I stopped going because I noticed I really didn't feel welcome there.  Sort of the reason why I'm looking to move.

I can be quite shy, and I have a few social issues.  That's besides the point though.  I still intend to make some friends here none the less.

Well, I hope to befriend some of you before I head to Pennsylvania.  It would make moving there all the less scarier for me.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!  I may be shy, but I am a very honest person, and can say anything!

Looking forward to meeting all of you.  ^^"

P.S:  My Introduction has been corrected.  Apologies for any broken English in the future

well... yes ^^" I think I'm enough understandable when I write, in all case I understand it perfectly. But orally (I hope it's correct), with the accent, and how fast an Englishman can speak sometime... ^^"

We aren't englishmen, we're Americans Tongue

Different parts of PA have different accents even.  I can link you to a funny youtube video about people in my area and how the older generation talks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sMI2jb16eo  Note: I don't talk like this DERP!

Do you know what part of PA you'll end up in?  I'm northeast for the time being.

I may have missed it, but what part of the state to you plan on moving to?

Also, PROTIP from a Software Engineer who's been doing it for 13 years: learn frameworks!  Drupal is a good one to start with, as is jQuery. (I use both to power this website)

Additional good things to check out are jQuery UI and node.js. Especially node.js.  I use it at $WORK, and it's turning the industry on its head.

Finally, your post gets one of these:

Otherwise, it's just in my last post ^^" hehe, I think I will go around pittsburgh, though it's possible I change my mind. I will come in a few months yet ^^"

Also... what are those frameworks? o.o that powerful?

Huh? o.o why that?
If they speak slowly and articulating very well with me, I should be fine ^^" anyway, I think I should get used quickly if I hear people speaking English everywhere.
