the recent loss of my father (the love that poured through the interwebs was palpable and helped more than you all will ever know).

I know it too. It is amazing, surprising, and humbling.

I'm known for my quick wit (by me at least), my fearsome temper if you have wronged me or someone I love, my spoiler nazi tendencies, my impeccable taste in food and drink (especially drink), and last, but not least, my prodigious boobage (see tagline).

Also, incredible beauty, gracious warmth, and elegant, rapier-precise mastery of profanity.

1. cilantro-no 2. olives-oh yes please (There's this thing, with the calamatta olives and Greek olives and stuffed green olives and grape tomatoes and fresh mozzarella in olive oil with basil and marjoram and black pepper--num to die for) 3. muffaletta- can I get one without tomatoes, peppers and without bread? 4. serial comma-yes 5. two spaces-trying to break the habit

Dana! The only person currently posting who is more previous than I!

I spent time constructing this, you betcha I'ma post it now.

I have been hosted by Ginger, along with Sail, Askye, and KatieBee. I've been hosted by Anne, along with Aims, MM, Sean, and ND. I've been hosted by Deb, along with Nilly and Ginger. And I've been hosted by Perkins, along with Sail and Nicole, and by KatieBee along with Ginger. I've shared quarters with Ginger, KatieBee, and DebetEsse, Anne, Ginger, and Fay, Perkins and Cass, and Cass again while Amy and Ailleann-adjacent. I've visited Deena, the Zmayhem plus Emmett, pre-Matilda, Jilli and Pete, Plei, -t, and Perkins. I've hosted Sail, and spent a lovely couple of evenings with Vortex. I've had dinner with Raq, javachik, her cousin Buffy, Vortex, Fay, Parker, Deb, erika, and Ginger. I've spent hours in a car with Bicyclops, his spouse, and Ginger, and time in Perkins'car with Sail and Nicole, and in KatieBee's van with an assortment of Buffistas. I've ridden with beth's DH, or Matt, in his small car-turned museum van with Parker, Theo, Sail and Amy. Teppy's driving saved my life once, trufax, along with sj's and Nicole's, and her brazen salt-soliciting enabled me to stave off a raging sore throat, for which I will ever be grateful. I've hung out on Deb's steps with KarlH, SuziQ, Consuela, Java Cat, and Sparky and DH. I watched vids during prom with Suela and Deena and--whoever else was there in the dark. I've visited flea and Mr. flea, with Stephanie and Ellie, amych, Dana and DH, amyth and smonster in attendance. I've visited Calli, with amych, amyth, smonster, the flea family, and darth in attendance. I've been to half the F2Fs so far, plus a couple of mini-F2Fs and Nillyfest, and have met manymany Buffistas at one or another.'S not enough, though, I haven't met everybody. Want more.

SA, you and Billytea were both at the DC F2F--surely there was meetage of some description.

We have an orange stripey boycat named Punkin who thinks he's a lion of the Serengheti, and a black-on-brown mackerel tabby former feral boycat who lost a leg to trauma and is neurotic and afraid of everyone. They will be staying with StY as my DH and I relocate to PNW, north of Seattle (you know you want to come too!) There are no plans to acquire felines at the new address at the present.

I...seem to have come to the end. ::hits 'post'::

It just depends on who I am talking to and how much they need to know. I have worked in restaurants, retail, and libraries for most of my career, so saying as little as possible about personal stuff is just part of how I talk.

Where are the 300 to Elevenses?

I'm somewhere in the middle of that range.

I refer to y'all as "my online community" (sometimes illustrating the true nature of the community with tales of the baby and toddler clothing that has been worn by so many of the sprog, which tickles me no end), or "the online discussion board that Daniel and participate in" or more generically, as "online friends/acquaintances".

I'm somewhere in the middle of that range.

Me too, I think. I'll have to look when this posts.

ETA: Yup, mid-300s. Not exactly middle middle. But in the range, at any rate.

Most of the usual suspects are in the 200s and lower. But I'm 1212 (shout out to d who may have signed on, on or about, the same day). Where are the 300 to Elevenses?

As I recall, the first 300 or so were from WX, and registered at the beginning. 400-800 or so registered because joss posted here about Firefly. Stompies would know better.

I think I'm in the 500s. But I didn't register because of Joss, I just got fed up with board I'd been at before. It got invaded by trolls and kids who couldn't spell, so I bailed. I don't remember exactly how I found the board, I think through a recs link by a fic writer that I admired. Maybe? Hell if I know, anymore.

Interesting!

That sounds plausible. I know I came in right at the end of Firefly.

My parents know who you people are. Heck, my parents came to the Seattle f2f! And there are times I suspect my parents are secretly lurking here.

(MOM, DAD, DELURK IF YOU ARE READING THIS.)

Jilli! If your Mom is reading, I HAVE TO STOP TALKING ABOUT STUFF INVOLVING THINGS AND YOU KNOW!

Ahem.

The 400-800 range was so long ago, I forget now. I'm 13. I like my user number.
