Jean, I too have an orange cat named Leo. In his case, it's short for Leonardo diCatrio, but we don't admit it.

I am d, the first letter of my real name. I am a rare poster, but dedicated lurker in the right-hand threads, Bitches, Comedy, Buffy/Angel, Jossverse, Minearverse, Cable Drama, and the seasonal threads.

I first posted during Wonderfalls. I have no idea when I first started reading the board. I came here via BuffyGuide, I believe. I spent many hours trying to find where I had last left off, long before I became a registered user. Oh, how I love the unread messages function!

I live in the greater Philadelphia region. I just bought my first house, where I reside with two cats. I was born in Florida. I have not yet been to a F2F, but I have met three other members of this board. I support them in FaceBook.

I live in Minneapolis with my orange cat, Leo.

Jean, I too have an orange cat named Leo.

Whoo, ginger toms FTW! I have a ginger tom named Marley Marmalade. We just call him Marley.

I need to see is my other ginger Tom will pop in and post...

Hi d!

I also just bought my first house! 3 cats, one elderly diabetic. It's a learning curve...the homeowner bit. Or not so much learning curve as check writing marathon. This year has been different.

I'm in B'more, craxy insane B'more that I love, been here 12 years, on the boards for nearly 10 (REALLY?) Took a bit of a hiatus during WX due to dialup. I only got dsl in the last year or 2. Originally from NM.

I once made an incredibly red tequila lime tart for the first buffista f2f I had, at lisah's house. Don't recall if it was for the finale or what. I think I lost the recipe in the move.

Big science geek, work in the field.

I have a big ginger tom named Oz. He's a bit odd, but entirely loveable.

Oh look we're doing Hec's favourite thing. Maybe we could have a thread for our pets to delurk in?

We have an orange cat named Switch!

I'll chime in as a member of the Orange Cat Club. My boy is named Jeeves.

Anyhow, I was lurky in the TT days, semi-active at WX, and I've been here since the board was created. I mostly hang out in Bitches and the Supernatural thread these days.

I've lived in St. Louis for the past four years, but used to be a member of the Baltimore and DC-istas (waves hello).

eta: Oh! and the poster otherwise known as Sox is my real-life cousin.

Hiya! Sparky did indeed bring me here, where I discovered that you all were the same brilliant serial comma crusaders I adored way back in the Salon days. I've posted for three years, have a tiara from the very wonderful SuziQ and some amazing calendar blocks from Kat. You helped me through a major move and I will be forever grateful. I am mom to almost 5 yo HelloKittyFan who met her bff Mal via the board. They are the Trouble.

I love it that I'm clocking in right behind d - who was my buffista welcoming committee when i made the move to Philly. I still dislike it (PA drivers you SUCK as a phylum), but it is getting better. In part this is d's handiwork.

I love Firefly, Buffy, Wonderfalls, and Dr. Horrible; games; manga; the Oxford English Dictionary; fonts; salt chocolate caramels; and the semi-colon. I'm mostly in Bitches and sometimes I venture into Natter. I lurk the Game thread and GWW. I do some writing about traveling with kids with a co-conspirator, Raq, and several amazing buffista moms.

I am a writer/programmer/graphics type, newly contracted with a virtual content firm making games, telling stories, and doing some other dorky things. My clients are not in my timezone, so I am posting less than I was and am more tired than I have been. I did indeed at one time work for a small nonprofit that we've dubbed ECN where the C is for Craxy.

I am sure there's something I'm forgetting. There usually is.

We have an orange cat now! Named Cortez (the Killer). We have ... actually watched him at work, too. He's pretty ruthless.

But he's awesomely mellow otherwise!
