Fun!
I'm Erin (there are a couple, but I think I'm the oldest 'Ffista Erin.) I've been around since TT -- goodness, the first Buffy thread on TT, or at least the second, I think. 2000, at any rate.
My post rate used to be astronomical, then various iterations of grad school, workiness and lack of home internet cause that to slow down. A lot.
I org'd the first big F2F in Chicago, attended the LAF2F thanks to the generousity of Buffistas, and got to borrow a PVC corset (Plei) and Gucci shoes (Deb.) MADE. OF. AWESOME.
I like olives and cilantro, sarcasm and spicy talk. I live, as of this weekend, in Prairie Village, KS. (Basically Kansas City) where I have lived since 1995, except for a two year stint at KU. I'm living with my geektastic cutiehead BF, 4 cats and a Corgi with less than one neural connection.
I'm a teacher, but I'm not teaching at the moment. YAY, UNEMPLOYMENT!
Hello to the lurkers. I tell my BF "The lurkers support in in email!" during disagreements, SO IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU DID SO I WON'T BE A LYING LIAR WHO LIES.
Amy-chuh, clearly.
Yup. a-myth
I was trained by nuns to never use the serial comma. I'm trying to change my ways because it makes more sense to me, but I see disapproving glances from the nuns when I do. Grammar's hard.
A-mich. With the Israeli/Arabic pronunciation of the "ch". Sometimes Amik, if I think in English and hence pronouncing the "ch" as "k".
cilantro
is from the devil.
A-meech. Don't ask me why, but it translates to a long e in my head.
Hi. I'm tommyrot. You can call me tommyrot, tommy, Tom, Thomas, Tomas, tomfool, tomtit, whatever. (Wait, don't call me "whatever.")
I'm a programmer and live in Chicago with my cat, Squeaky Fromage. I'm single, and if this trend continues I think I'll try to become the male equivalent of a "crazy old cat lady." So I guess I'll need more cats.
I've been around since the TT days - I delurked back in Buffy season 4 IIRC. You can find me mostly in Natter, Bitches, Movies, Tech and Music.
A question: What's the ID number reference several have mentioned?
If you hover your mouse over someone's user name above their post, there's a ?id=. Mine is 2, because I cheated and signed up before anyone else had a chance to. Yours is 89 which is pretty low, which means you've been around a long while. Which, of course, you know.
Put your mouse over a user ID link - if you have the status bar showing, you can see the user's ID number.
eta: x-posty. Curses!

If you hover over or right-click-choose-properties over someone's name, you'll see an id=#.
