Thank you, Nilly. That was glorious. I got goosebumps reading it.

ah, screencapping. Good times, good times.

I only wish the description of your wagon in the caravan didn't so closely resemble our dining area.

.a pause I can only hear in my head, sorta like a click in those african languages, except silent, then the t? As I try to explain it, I realize my chin kind of nods, when I do it. Apparently to emphasize the silence. :)

I do this too!

I love gauchos. With flip-flops in the summer and knee-high boots in the winter.

Hi Sophie Max!

Fay, I am boggled at your brilliance, yet again.

Hmmm, I'ma see if I can get my cousin to delurk. Not sure she still lurks here, but I'll email her.

Sigh. Our OHAIMAITWIN powers stop here. Say no to the gauchos! Say yes to the Fernet!

OHAIMAITWIN

For a second, I thought that was an acronym.

Yeah, I was trying to puzzle it out for a moment, too.

I'm not really a fan of gauchos or cropped pants on myself, but they don't bother me on others. I just spent too much time wearing pants that weren't quite long enough as a teenager, and I'd probably spend all my time trying to tug the gaucho/cropped pants down to meet the top of my foot. That way lies hammer pants.

Hi Buffistas!!! I don't really qualify as a lurker since I rarely even read anymore, but Sumiko continues to keep me apprised of all the biggest happenings in your lives via email. I really couldn't tell you when I originally delurked, but it was sometime back in the Salon days I think. Nilly could probably tell us! :) I was present at the first F2F in Chicago. I rarely visit these boards anymore, but I do make an effort to do a drive by once or twice a year. Consider this my quota for 2009.

My life, as of now:

-I am unemployed following a layoff in January. It sucked, I'm still bitter.

-I live with my mother. It was only supposed to be for a short time following my divorce, but then the layoffs came, and life happened, and well, its been a year. :(

-I have a wonderful boyfriend from Belgium who I met online in Second Life. Neither of us has been near SL for months, but we continue to spend every possible second together on Skype, and he's been to the US twice to see me and I've been to Belgium once to see him. I think he's a keeper!

-My latest Internet based obsession is World of Warcraft. I play with said boyfriend on the European servers.

-Oh, and did I happen to mention... I'M PREGNANT!!!! :) We hadn't exactly planned it, but we conceived during the boyfriend's last visit here in July. Timing is less than ideal but we are both tremendously excited. We are currently navigating the rocky road of immigration policy, and with a little luck my round little self will be living in Belgium sometime before the baby comes in April.

As always, happy to hear from Buffistas! My email is hdn123 at gmail dot com. Until next time - take care!

CV! You've been busy.
