You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Frequent poster rather than delurker. Slipping in under the wire by less than two hours to mention the big thing that has happened in my life (already posted in "Beep Me"). After years seeking a publisher, finally got a book contract this week.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Sorry I never officialy delurked this year but nothing much has changed and it's not like I really lurk.

Because books.

Hi, lurkers! Come on out!

I just spent a good fifteen minutes looking at the map. You guys are on there! Come on in and say hi.

OK, I am cracked up that I opened this thread and it was ita saying she's unemployed and Omnis saying he lives in Texas! How things change...

Um, not that much of anything has changed for me in the last year. I live in the same place. I have a new roommate as of a couple weeks ago. I have the same job. ...I feel boring.

Mostly lurking...

Hello! I feel like a lurker now, but that has not always been the case. Crazy how life changes. I miss this place, though, and hope to be around more.

I'm still in Massachusetts, currently unemployed, but getting married. So, it works out. My goober, Toto just turned 13 and was diagnosed with diabetes. Life is never boring.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

yay, vw! congrats!

DELURKING IS STRESSFUL. But I better do it now, before the Giant Pile of Labs Needing Grading eats me again and October is gone (kinda like what happened last year).

I am still teaching biology at a community college in southern Washington state (and mostly loving it beyond the ongoing Dept. vs. Admin. workload shenanigans). Only news to report, really, is that I bought a HOUSE this summer. It's in an adorable neighborhood with a slightly-expensive-but-hopefully-worth-it-HOA and so far completely awesome neighbors. A bit farther from work but still within biking distance, and super close to the river bike path!

Oh, and I rode my bicycle 65 miles last weekend in a Cystic Fibrosis Research fundraiser, and it was actually pretty awesome, so I'll probably do that again.

Firefly: still miss it; Castle: Nathan Fillion should marry me; Semicolons: still awesome.
