FWIW, omnis, you're a really good trade for not-dead-guy.
Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Definitely a step up!
Are either of you NC peeps at UNC School of Performing Arts? A dear old friend is now teaching there! He's so excited. He's also the guy who created one of my favorite all time silly movies - Spaced Invaders.
I started on TT, I don't remember exactly when. Eleven years ago or so. Arrived as a refugee when Time closed its fora. At the time I posted mostly in the Faith and Spirituality arena. I found the Buffistas while exploring peripheral interests (Buffy, obviously, being one such.)
I joined in spring 2004 on the infamous Nilly-visit money-raising night, so next year will be a decade for me. Wow. I've also been in LA for eight years, which seems impossible.
I started lurking on TT and posting in I want to say the fifth thread there.
You've been in LA for 8 years? Then I've definitely been here longer than 8 years. Huh. Although since I mostly started with y'all in you-know-where, if I counted that, it's 9 years+.
Amy Parker pointed me to the group on Salon, I became more steady on Table Talk as I got more reliable Internet at home and at jobs. I remember the 9/11 check-ins.
Was it 5 x 5, Brenda? Because that is when I delurked. About 13 years. The Nilly trip seems "new" to me, and I still feel new compared to Dana, shrift, David etc.
I started lurking sometime during S6 Buffy.
