Buffy ,'Potential'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2006? Don't think we've forgotten about you.
what an amazing group of people hang out here. I feel lucky to have met y'all.
Can't be said enough.
I stumbled on the TT threads at some point around the fourth or fifth thread, delurked a while after. It was at WX that it really became a big part of my life though, and I've never looked back.
I came to b.org through fireflyfans. I'd never even heard of an online community, or fandom, and didn't lurk at all. Perhaps to my detriment. I was just so thrilled to find so many like-minded, smart, funny, caring people all in one place. Lots of buffistas speak of their other online associations or other fandoms and...despite reading such lovely stories as the recent Flanvention miracle...I just can't imagine any other group being quite like this one!
And all I can say seeing those early posts is that I find myself exceedingly annoying. I mean, really! It's as bad as reading old journals!
Heh -- this is why I don't go looking for old posts of mine. I was *really* irritating back in 2001. I'm kind of amazed anyone was willing to talk to me at all.
I had the same problem with myself when I reread an old natter thread recently. Gross!

It was surprising to meet you in person because you were so different from the online you at that time.
Ha. It's funny because so much time has passed. Of course, it's changed in bad ways, too. I used to constantly check merriam webster to make sure I was spelling and using my words appropriately; I was frightened of the Great Collective Buffista Editor. But these days I'm so lazy I don't bother trying to impress with my vocabulary! Hee.
Liese, i thnk tht is rly kewl abt U.
LOL.
I tried reading some of my early posts (delurked sometime in mid 2000, I think) a little while ago, and wow, did I sound pretentious. Very surprised people didnt just roll their eyes and ignore me.
Ack. Im on a European keyboard and cant find the apostrophe.
Anyway, my secret santa present is going to be a bit late, what with the being in Europe. But it shall get there.
Did someone just say something? I'll just roll my eyes and pretend there are apostrophes.
My santee's is late too. I am not in Europe. It is purchased and lovely however.
I'm horrified that my gift will be so late...given that part of it is Xmas themed, dangit. But is should arrive tomorrow, Monday at the latest. Last time I trust holiday shipping promises! I'm going to shoot for the Black Friday post next time.
