Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

lwadams Ice Ice Abby...

Subsequent de-lurkers, I apologize that you're left out of the filk.

dcp, I knew NOT that you filked. Oh the things we learn!

RAYNE! Good to see you! I always loved those scripts.

I've been here since TT. I have been to every F2F.

'Til we dance away...

I'm Sassy, but I'm actually a Katherine (in case we want to take on the Amys and Stephanies, we might have a shot) and I have delurked lots of times but can't stick with it because I guess I'm shy.

I found Buffy through the Buffistas back on TT when I was still in high school because I loved the Quotable Buffy thread so much I started watching the show back in season 4. I'm just now watching Angel for the first time, as my husband and I are on an epic rewatch- currently on B6/A3.

I'm a retail store manager and I have lived in Montana for almost 4 years but I'm from Seattle and miss it every day. I have a 3 year old stepdaughter and 2 cats- Murphy (who is orange) and Killian who were indeed named after beers. I live for baseball.

I read most of the TV bucket threads- I watch most of what's in non-fiction and sometimes post about PR, and read the other threads for Mad Men, House, and now Glee. I always stay about 500 posts behind in Bitches and 1000 in Natter so I know there will always be something to read.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I'm Deena, and I first delurked in 2002, sometime in December, and was promptly called a sockpuppet. Good times. After I actually registered, I discovered that "Read New" thing. I'd been writing my last post number down every time I had to close the browser window.

I live on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, and I build websites, run a small press, write marketing materials for a local business, none of which pay very well, and try not to take on any new projects...

I used to post in Bitches every day and ten times on Tuesdays, and everyone got to know my kids, Kara, aka raptorgirl, and Aidan, spikelet, and Nick... who I don't think anyone renamed. I've been to SF twice, once to meet Nilly and once for the F2F, both times due to the generosity of the Buffistas. My first Buffista meeting was the lovely Laura. I was awkward and easily discombobulated both times.

Then my health got worse and my work got distracting, and the kids got more demanding, and now I mostly read, though I do post in Tech and GWW now and again.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Hi, I'm Glamcookie (formerly Gloomcookie) and I've been with the Buffistas since TT. I live in the Los Angeles area with my partner L and our 3 kitties. We are expecting our first child in December (holy crap that's soon!). I work in tech, love the sci fi, and am in general a big girly geek. I share an unholy love for all things Hello Kitty with Trudy Booth and Sox's HelloKittyFan girl.

I'm mostly in Bitches but also keep up with Movies, Cable (Mad Men), Premium Cable (True Blood, Dexter, The Tudors), Music, Jossverse, and Natter. Welcome to the recently delurked!

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

I'm Am-Chau (not my real name; nor is the one I use in real life; and I've had my internet name longer than the name by which most people call me, so it's all suitably confusing) and I'm doing this backwards: most people lurk for a while and then begin to post, but I started posting, mostly in Bitches, almost as soon as I'd found the community, then started lurking when I began my BA.

Since then, I've graduated and begun my MA. That's great, but it does cut down my internet time; I can still sometimes be found in the fanfic and Unamerican threads, though I basically lurk even there.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Another Buffista with an orange cat here. Ours is Seamus O'Malley, who occasionally answers to Seamus and never answers to anything else.

I also have an orange and white cat named Leifur, after Leif Ericsson ('cause he used to be a wanderer). He's a total sweetheart 99% of the time.

Love reading this thread.

I was waiting to post to see whether I could track down my original delurking date, but that will have to wait, I guess. I know I finally delurked for good (or ill?) during the amazingly fun Buffy Quote Deathmatch of Aught __? I had lurked for probably six months before that at least. It was so weird to delurk when I felt like I "knew" people, but knowing full well I was a complete stranger to everyone, so I definitely hear what you're saying, those of you who have pointed out the weirdness of it... but don't let that stop you!

I live in Delaware right now, but I'm making a move to Baltimore in the next couple of months. Very much looking forward to being there, not so much to the actual move.

I think I post much less than it actually feels like I do - hard to remember that no one knows I'm here reading when I don't post anything. When I post, it's usually Boxed Set, Natter, Supernatural, Spoilage Light, Other Media, Bitches. More or less in descending order of frequency. I read GWW (of late, I gotta say, go Gud!), Spoilers, and Comedy, too, and probably have looked in occasionally on every other thread.

I've only been to one F2F - DC, but I was also in DC for the Nilly tour, saw the awesome Laura when visiting another friend in Fla., and had a lovely dinner w/ lisah and sarameg during Allyson's book's tour of the world. Good times.

I ♥ this place, and I love seeing these new names. Fun!
