It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Did you create a new account on one of your name changes, or am I making that up?

Scrappy I was reading old bureau (to check my vague recollection of when people registered) and you were posting there under "scrappy." That would have changed to the uppercase if you had the same account you have now, and the "scrappy" account should have been under 600 in any case.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That explains it. Thanks, peeps with better memories than me. So from now on, anyone checking my number pretend it's, like, 14.

Maybe you're the mysterious #12.

I think I'm 20-something. ETA: 29.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm user id 33. I have this habit of living in places with Street numbers that are mutiples of 11. I've done 22, 110, 11 itself, 55 and here I'm 33. And now, on BoardGameGeek, I've just received an invite to game 33 of Battlestar Galactica.

(My current address breaks that pattern. Now I've married a Chinese woman, we live at Number 8.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Hello, all! I'm ChiKat and I started lurking back in TT days. I delurked then, but don't remember exactly when. Due to various work/school issues, I've fluctuated between regular posting and lurking and then had the Dark Days of not being able to do either. I now have access at work (shh!) and more plan periods, so I've been around about bit more this year and plan to continue it.

My name comes from TT days. I defied their rules and never registered under my real name. I'm a rebel. I'm also a Kathy from Chicago, hence the Chi (for Chicago) Kat (for Kathy). Pronounced "shy cat" for those who always wondered. And, I don't even live in Chicago anymore. Go figure. I am close, however, in a western 'burb about 35 miles away.

I'm single, live with my cat (black). I'm a teacher, but that's a fairly recent career change. I used to work in marketing. I love teaching and know I absolutely made the right decision. I teach middle school drama, speech, and video production, so I get to be the fun teacher. Which I love. I also love typing in fragments. And Pooh Case.

B.org has seen me through career changes, break-ups, kitty adoption, moves, cancer, good days, and horrible days. There were some days b.org was the only good part.

To my RL friends, y'all are "my Buffy friends." To others, you're just "my friends."

Cilantro: Yes
Olives: No. Don't like the texture.
Muffaletta: No. See above re: olives.
Serial Comma: Yes.

And, it seems I'm #39.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"scrappy" was 123, cheater.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I am not a number, I am a free - oh wait, I'm number 5. In your face, number 6!

I really wish I knew what happened to #12. There's no user deletion, just user inactivation. Maybe the record was never created due to some programming glitch. Lost in the mists of time...

I think it's safe to assume #12 is the Cylon who created us all, but was subsequently erased from our memories. We're probably not supposed to talk about them.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I think only Meara and Drew rival me in Buffistas-who-see-other-Buffistas-whilst-travelling. (I will probably be proved wrong in the subsequent posts.)

There was a time when I could have challenged you, young missy! But you've long since surpassed me, I think. Still, I've seen Buffistas in many places, and you all were a big part of my round-the-world trip several years back. I met up with Fay in London and Angus and plasmo in Melbourne, while Min put me up (and introduced me to Firefly) in Brisbane, John H. very generously let me crash with him and his wife in Sydney, even though they were moving!, and Karl T. and David S. took me in while I was in the Bay Area and helped ease my transition back home. One of my strongest memories of that trip is of sitting at a tiny internet cafe in the Mumbai airport at 3 or 4am, waiting for my flight to Delhi and feeling lost and adrift, and checking in on the board to remind myself of the good things in my life and the people who loved me.

(This thread is making me really happy, by the way, and I'm excited to meet more lurkers!)
