Nice to meet you, Ice!
Delurking 1: Because we don't always check our e-mail.
Hiya Ice
(And now has to fight urge to wander off muttering "Ice, ice, baby." Thanks Amy.)
Serial commas rock.
Huzzah!
I have no plans to try muffeletta (dislike olives).
Weirdo.
I have never supported you in e-mail.
Punk.
I have supported some of you in bookstores.
Huzzah!
You return the favor by tempting me with mentions of even more cool books and TV shows.
Damn straight.
doubts about what I'd add to the conversation
Come on, Ice. You seem cool.
(Ba dum, bum.)
Serial commas rock. I have no plans to try muffeletta (dislike olives).
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!
Dude, Ice! Welcome!
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.
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 [...]
Ah, I thought that for ages. But posting is so much more fun than lurking. Go on. Post. Postpostpostpostpost. Oh, and welcome!
Hi, Ice! Hi, Abby!
Hi, any other lurkers out there!!
If it makes you feel any better, I've had to listen to strangers chanting "Ice Ice Baby" at odd moments for the last 13 years. About half the people who meet my dog feel compelled to sing. Next time I name a pet, I'll consider the earworm possibilities first.
She's a white German shepherd, and "Ice" came out of "police." Depending on how you feel about Sting and company, maybe you can get a higher class of earworm out of that.
