Aw, I always love when we start talking about our roots!
Now I want a picture of Kate with the caption "My roots, let me show you them."
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I roughly share timeline with Plei and SA and Kate P., which is of course a great honor.
Really? I knew that Plei and SA turned up around the same time as me, but I think I thought that you'd been around for a long time already when I came along. Funny! edit: and dude, you're right, that is *excellent* company.

I delurked shortly after Plei, within a month or two. I remember the moment, too--I was in my "independent study" in my high school library and with much trepidation and lack of capital letters, I made my first post.

I don't think I ever lurked. I just jumped right in with both feet. but, that was the earlyish days of TT where our culture wasn't so clearly defined.

I lurked, back on TT. I was running with a different crowd at the time, over on the Faith and Spirituality forum. Checking out the Buffista action was a side interest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I remember what it took for anyone to pay attention to me. Posting a picture with super short hair. Got Hec's attention, anyway.
The rest is history.

Hee. That should go in the FAQ. "How do I join in?" "Get a haircut and post a picture. Our trained professionals will do the rest."

I think I de-lurked back in the TT days.

Heh! I remember when your sister first showed up on TT boards. You interact with her so differently from anybody else on the planet. So funny.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
This again? I got tired of going back to Salon and looking it up. It's in my profile here: Buffistaversary: June 2, 1999, first post, #1617 of 4014, motherthread, TT.
