Dude, Ice! Welcome!
Delurking 1: Because we don't always check our e-mail.
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.
I vote for Ice (and Abby!) to stay delurked.
Not sure about groping. Will you still respect me tomorrow?
Groping is strictly consensual.
I do not mind the occasional nibble as long as you avoid ticklish spots.
I have been known to nibble. See: lj name being smonsterbite, sort of like Hulk Smash.
I'd also like to add to my bio that I delurked with a Leonard Cohen filk. And I keep amyth informed of all things Buffista, for those who remember her.
No! You are all sucking me in! Stop sucking!
Erika, I'm originally from New Jersey. If you say, "Welcome, scumbag" to me, I may assume we're related.
I can't read fanfic because it gets mixed up with canon in my memory-deficient brain and then I don't remember what's true to the original story any more, so those are the least tempting b.org posts. But I lurk in the writing thread to remind myself that I really do want to finish that damn novel I've been swearing I'd write for ages now.
Ice,
of course now I have to ask you, since you are from NJ "which exit?!"
