Wayback machine: I'm a refugee from figure skating forums. I watch a lot of Bravo and they keep playing these commercials for something called Salon.com.
Then I finally click on the Table Talk thread and find the TV threads and lo and behold! There's a Buffy thread!
(I can't ever remember what season it was but I was so happy to find people who took the show seriously!)
I'm a receptionist at a printing company in Kansas City, MO and have been recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I'm a former Theatre person, but the Fibro and debt forced me to become a wage slave.
I can't believe there were commercials for Salon!
I don't know if Pete counts as a lurker. He hasn't read the board regularly in a while.
I still suspect my dad lurks here.
My mom always wants to know what the Buffistas are doing. She's a big fan of Jilli's too.
I de-lurked as Ken Buddha and it was just a few weeks before the Nilly trip sprang into existence. I'd followed the buffistas since the second Salon thread but never bothered joining until I had a halfway decent computer at home.
I was working essentially the same job I am now, but at much lower pay and a few job titles down. I was living in a tiny studio in Salem, MA, but would soon be moving to a half of a house, also in Salem. I think the Wonderfalls premiere at Jon B's was my first live interaction with other buffistas, but I could be forgetting some dinner at some point.
Feels like a lifetime ago, apart from the job (although we were in a different building in a different part of Boston then).
Aww...
I'm, what, maybe 23? I've just been interviewed by Salon about a Xena text-based RPG I play. I'm about to get offered a job by the gaming company based on the strength of that interview. I am currently grinding away as an inventory control specialist at a Japanese pneumatics factory, but I have no idea that the musician who died last year is about to totally disrupt my entire life and send me into the desert to teach music to kids with my husband of 5 years. I play bass in an Appalachian/Celtic band. I wish I could have a dog, but the tiny studio apartment where I live won't permit it. I am pretty stupid about a lot of things but I don't know it yet.
OT: Liese, you know there's a new movie about to come out or possibly just out about RM's life, right?
I think ND qualifies as a lurker at this point, he's so busy.
I'm about to turn 30 (Winter 2000). I started reading the board, because poster MarthaC told me I should check it out. I am a little over a year into a job with a non-profit I am getting bored with and I have been watching Buffy for a bit, not sure how long. I am reading on TT an there is this crazy long way way way too involved discussion about bookshelves and home libraries and geez, I thought I was coming to read about Buffy and how much we love the show. These people talk A LOT and so damn opinionated. Not sure it is the place for me.
Maybe I'll give it a shot.
