Hello posters new and old alike! I am in no TV threads, so some people I rarely see. Natter is my home and I am there mostly.

I love the lurker/drive-by thread. I am going to reach out to a few old faces we do not see round here anymore and see if they want to say hello.

btw, to new folks, I'm newly in TX, was NYC, and am the nicest.

I'm only half as bloodthirsty as my postings.

I'm much more bloodthirsty than my postings.

The porn quotient is about right on, though.

Really? I thought you toned it down for the internet Zen?

What gave you that idea?

I dunno. :: innocent smirk ::

Just the word bloodthirsty makes me feel faint.

Since the last Lurker thread I have moved from Kansas City, Mo to Cedar Rapids, IA. I also went from being employed to pathetic, er, unemployed and living in someone's basement. (cause that's not pathetic!)

quester you are welcome to take an extended vacation in TX with us if you ever want.

Hi! Another delurker here, uh, delurking.

I first started hanging out here right around the time Table Talk was going away (or going pay, same thing), which was around the time I discovered Buffy, duh. I occasionally let the lurking lapse as life got busy, but there'd be always be some day, even after over a year once, when the internets would be boring and I'd wonder "huh, wonder what the buffistas are watching", and I'd be sucked back in again.

I can only keep up with a few of the tv threads and literary. I was thinking about how many shows I might never have watched but for buffistas: the various Stargates (but not the newest one - don't care about it); Profit; Being Human (anxiously awaiting the second season airing on Canadian TV); Supernatural; Caprica (I was annoyed at the end of BG and not interested in a continuation; the discussion here made me think otherwise). oh, Eureka, of course. Probably others.

I drop in and out of Natter and Bitches, and am always so amazed with the warmth, kindness, intelligence and humour you all share with each other. Even though I haven't had hardly any real interaction with any of you, I have sat in front of my computer in tears reading about a buffista's loss, grief, pain. And grinning at the joys too. It would feel odd and intrusive to delurk in the middle of that, so it's nice to do it here and say you are a really wonderful and unique community, and it's lovely to be a part of it, even if mostly quietly.

Oh, and some vital stats: I am a lawyer, living in Ottawa, with one cat, Sophie. There used to be a cat named Max as well, but I had to say goodbye to him last year. Single, lesbian, short curly brown hair.
