Guess writing a proper intro would be polite. Also: more fun than cleaning my house.
My real name is Cindy. You already had one of those when I registered, so I used my dog's name because I was feeling uninspired and she was in my line of sight. The other choices were "Pile o' Papers" or "Things I Do Not Want to Do Today."
I'm 43, a stay at home mom in Northern Virginia who may one day get back to a writing and editing career. Job hunting sucks. Serial commas rock. I have no plans to try muffeletta (dislike olives).
I have never supported you in e-mail. I have supported some of you in bookstores. You return the favor by tempting me with mentions of even more cool books and TV shows. Unfortunately my DVR is 71 percent full and rising and my to-read pile overflows two large bookcases. Sometimes I decide to unsubscribe so you don't tempt me any more. The decision lasts as long as it takes to click "Read New" one last time.
My original intention when I registered was to get involved in the conversation, and I have actually delurked for a random post or two before. It never sticks due to shyness, doubts about what I'd add to the conversation, and the conviction that I really don't need another time-consuming habit given my long to-do list, short attention span, and tendency to get distracte-

Serial commas rock.

Damn straight.
doubts about what I'd add to the conversation
Come on, Ice. You seem cool.
(Ba dum, bum.)

My sister!
Wait. My age, a stay-at-home mom who writes and edits ... Are you sure you're not me? Or maybe I'm you? Either way, welcome! And feel free to post more!
You don't need to eat olives to eat a muffaletta. You just scrape them off.
Yes, it counts. I'm from New Orleans and I say so.
I do belong to an online community that greets its newbies by saying "Welcome, scumbag!" but I'll pass on this.
Hi...don't forget to stop by Great Write if you are so inclined.
And I don't know how much you know/like fic...I think b.org introduced it to me.
Hello Ice, and also Abby, Ouise and other semi-lurkers.
I have never supported you in e-mail. I have supported some of you in bookstores.
This quote, she make me laugh.

Ah, I thought that for ages. But posting is so much more fun than lurking. Go on. Post. Postpostpostpostpost. Oh, and welcome!
