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.

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.

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!

From way back:

d:

but I have met three other members of this board. I support them in FaceBook.

Yay! I am one of those three!!

Yay! I am one of those three!!

Me, too! Lucky d, because we are very, very pretty.

::waves to Solange::

::waves to all the other delurkers!::

Addendum: I line up with the Elizabeths, olives yes, cilantro no, am a dog person, not a cat person.

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.

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!

Oof. I'm TomW. I started on the TableTalk thread many years ago and my participation has declined to the point where I don't even lurk. I'm only posting now because Nora Deirdre promised me my choice of a cider donut or the "good" loving.

I'm an expat Brit and newly-minted U.S. Citizen. I'm married to Nora Deirdre; yes, we met because of this whole "talking about Buffy on the internet" thing.

We have the two best cats in the entire world, which is pretty lucky for us. Taz is a gray tabby and Marley is a ginger tabby. The tabby is the official state cat of Massachusetts, by the way.

In my spare time I brew beer, drink beer, write poorly punctuated fiction that you will never read, use Gimp to insert Daleks into famous works of art, and hunt the most dangerous game of all: Monopoly.

You will also note that I use the Oxford comma. If this displeases you then I can provide a list of awful places where you can go, but I must warn you that this list will also feature an Oxford comma.
