I love this place and these people.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Group gesture of affection!
And a shout out to the BRQG, which led me to this place just as this iteration of the board was getting started.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh wow! I'm interested in how people found their ways here.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I knew askye (and Daniel) from the Hellmouth Cafe chatroom. She encouraged me to check this place out and get involved. I joined and lurked for a while, mostly in Bitches. The conversation was fast and furiously funny. At some point I developed an ambition to get COMMed, and for that you actually need to post stuff...

Thrive to spite them
I just realized I turned two into Buffistas.
I found the Hellmouth Cafe from a profile on a personals site geared towards geeks.
And then buffistas I found through Table Talk. I read an editorial in the paper by Anne Lamott and there was a reference to Salon.com.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was a late-ish internet adopter and I used to go to the library to go on the computers. After I watched my first episode, I think I searched for a place to chat. But I already read a lot of Pacey/Joey fanfic so it might have been vonniek who led me here. She was the best fic reccer for my tastes. Or it might have been someone in yahoo groups? I also recognized Anne from the Knitlist, which was a huge knitting mailing list. Once I got a desk job, I used to print out threads to read at home!
I also realized last night that MustangSally, of the Bowie song titled Buffy/Spike fics and Sarah D. Bunting from Dawson's Wrap/MBTV/TWOP have the same voice in my head.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I basically found the Buffistas on Table Talk, and followed them through WorldCrossing to here. I feel like a bad Buffista, in that I don't own the series on DVD, and haven't rewatched the eps at all. I think Seasons 6 and 7 have tainted my love for the show.(Not to mention that I don't like Spike, and he's all over those seasons)
In other news, we have an appointment to apply for a passport for Mr. S this afternoon.
