Deena, no stress!! I'll just not believe they're all big and stuff, which is fine with me.

Hi lurkers and psuedo-lurkers and un-lurkers. I'm not sure what catagory I'm in. I only keep up in a couple of TV threads.
Once in awhile I try to get current in Natter and Bitches, but often fail. I always want to chime in on a conversation that was over 5 days ago...
Anyway, I'm still in Cedar Rapids, IA. No real job, still temping..., still have Fibromyalgia...
But, I still love this community and am so grateful to have it and be a part of it.
I really miss the "watch-n-posts".

I suspect we can do watch-and-posts again when SHIELD starts airing!

Unless it's on Fox or the CW, I won't be able to see it live.

Hi All. Sneaking in on the last day, because Procrastination, thy name is Jars.
Still in London, still married to the American (6 years now dear god in heaven). Also, next year I will be turning thirty and it's making me freak out a lot more than I thought it would.
Work is all ups and downs at the minute, but I'm seeing how it goes. At the moment I'm torn between leaving for a phd and doing a part time phd because I don't want to give up my maternity rights at my company because I'm nearly thirty and not getting any younger as everyone keeps telling me ARGH.
Also, I'll be in Boston for about two weeks over Christmas this year, if anyone wants to meet up?

Oh, dear, it IS the last day!
Last year, hmm. Well, still owning a business is pretty great. Got my feet under me more firmly, although I still have some goals I'd like to accomplish -- but not bad for a year and half in as a freelance editor and writer!
Broke my wrist in May. THAT sucked, and didn't help the whole business thing: writing/editing with broken wrist VERRRRY SLOW — hell on deadlines.
Insomnia is a wee bit better.
Turned 40. With a Buffista in the hizzouse! (smonster came up from NOLA: WOOT!)
And I've been a Buffista for. . . 11 years now? DAMN. I love you all and this site so much still. I go through stretched where I just read or I go grey for a while, but I always gotta make it back.
Updated! Woo! Now more coffee and to work!

Happy Halloween, all!
I'm still working for a non-profit in central NC, although I'm doing more eLearning stuff and making plans to move more of the web stuff off my plate. I'm doing the single, middle-aged chick with a cat thing, and it's working pretty well for me.
This summer I took a vacation in the northern part of Michigan's lower peninsula and it felt like home. (I'm originally from around there.) So I've been weighing my current situation (decent job, awesome friends, nifty town, nice surrounding area) with possibly moving back (no friends but family would be a lot closer, some nifty towns, utterly gorgeous surrounding area, snow, far fewer 90+F summer days). The ongoing unemployment rates in the Traverse City area have tipped the balance towards staying in NC so far.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ok, update for 2012. Last year's post was here: billytea "Delurking 1: Because we don't always check our e-mail." Oct 30, 2011 7:27:15 am PDT.
Not much has changed. Ryan is still awesome. I'm still in the same job. I deferred my Maestro of Finance studies this year to focus on building the firm's new capability, which has been pretty successful. It looks like we're signing up our first external client before year end.
We visited China in April, and Ryan celebrated his third birthday at Biyi's parents' apartment. They'll be back in Australia in about two weeks, this time permanently. We shall be marking this occasion with a cruise to New Zealand (of all things), and by converting the laundry into a second kitchen.
It's all heady stuff; but the highlight of my year was that I had the opportunity to see David Attenborough in person at the Regent Theatre. It was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.
In conclusion, Ryan would like everyone to know that dinosaurs came from birds, fish lay eggs but they don't have shells, and his favourite animal is the echidna.

Jars, I think TCG is going to be taking off the week between Christmas and New Years off, and we'd love to see you! We're also planning on resuming out New Years Day gathering this year, and would love to have you join us here, if you can.
