I think that it's also nice for people who don't post a lot to poke their heads back in.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Do you think we should mention it in Press?

Heh. I think we should delurk as the people we were when we joined the board.
Hi, I’m a 20-something who’s desperately pretending to not be miserable. I have not yet learned how to play politics even a little bit, which makes work challenging at time. I really REALLY like you people.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Ha!
I am 27 and work for KU. I just started to officially be diagnosed with chronic depression and chronic insomnia, and I hadn't gotten laid in 7 years. I watch Buffy every Tuesday night, record it with a VCR when I can't be home, and I rush to the other room where my desktop lives to post quickly on Salon.com before Buffy comes back on.
I was 2/3's through a novel about a succubus before the market got flooded with them. (Still bitter, and pissed at myself about THAT one.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Back when I delurked I had recently gotten married and started working at USC, my mother was suffering from dementia, DH & I were helping my father and brother out with caregiving duties, and we were trying to conceive.

Oh, man. That person was still in college, could and would eat an entire large pizza from Papa John's without gaining weight, owned vinyl pants, and listened to a lot of nu metal.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Hmm, I was newly moved to California and underemployed, waiting for my bar results, and living in my sister's basement.

Hi, I found this thread through a sidebar on salon.com. I think it was by someone called Agnes Bertiz? I just graduated from law school and am working for a judge in DC.

I delurked on salon.com because of Vortex and our friend Jack! I'm living in a weird apartment with a friend of a friend's friend, who needed someone until the end of her lease, in the DC suburbs, temping at a company randomly and still trying to figure out what I want to do and applying for all sorts of weird jobs. I just came out as gay a couple months ago to myself and to anyone else!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I live in NYC with my BF, teach screenwriting part-time and work as a copy editor at a legal publisher.
