Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

I hit 25K followers on Tumblr this morning.

I'm pretty sure it was Tiny Winter Soldier that pushed you over the edge.

This is not actually me (I joined in November 2001), but now I'm curious as to who it was!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Tiny Winter Soldier was pretty adorable. As I said, I'm really glad she's loyal to me.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sweet Jesus, that's awesome.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Looking at Tiny Winter Soldier, and wow life has changed.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Right? All these children are supposed to still be infants! Preschoolers, at most!

Let's see. After writing down post numbers of how far I had read (a completist even then), I finally got myself an account. I'm a...Freshman, I think? In college. It's right around the time when the board moved, which, as a newbie, was super confusing. I will meet some of the Summervillains and NYCistas right before the DCF2F (also when I graduate and leave the East coast)

Thrive to spite them

So my life is kind of a mess. There's a lot of personal stuff that's going on and I'm making bad decisions. But the paper published this piece by Anne Lamott and that referenced Salon.com so I gave it a shot. And it has message boards!

Currently I'm hanging out on an IRC channel talking Buffy but I miss having an online community. The one I belonged to imploded when the person who owned the site redsigned it and then packed up and took her things. There was very little warning and people scattered to the wind. They were not Buffy people however.

So I found the Table Talk Buffy thread after I found all the other stuff in Table Talk and I'm so gald it's not like those other boards with the weird looking threads and tons and tons of sub topics.

I don't have a boyfriend, I have a cat. I'm under employed and I always had this childhood dream of moving to New England, possibly Maine and live on the rocky coast.

(Instead I got Vermont, I'm underemployed I have a black and white cat and am dealing with mental health issues. But I have an awesome boyfriend and my life is actually a lot better).

I did the same thing!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Hi! I followed the Buffistas from TT, via PeoplesForum. I've recently started a job with the federal government. I have a boyfriend(relationship also kinda new) and a cat. I'm probably going to lurk a lot.

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

I'm almost 30 and have been with my partner for 5 years. We travel and see bands and love independent film. We live in LA and will NEVAH EVAH leave! Mostly still closeted and it sucks.
