Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Nicole and Micole are different people.

Does/did Anne W post as sophiap here? I'll reach out to her, in case she doesn't know.

I think she posted as Nicole, but I can’t remember.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Pretty sure Anne W was Anne W here!

Because books.

Anne hasn't been here or on FB for a while, though. Thanks for reaching out, Bev.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I know Anne W. is on Tumblr.

What is even happening?

I think Anne W generally posted here as Anne W. I remember the sopiap name though, but maybe from LJ, or maybe Anne had a period of time where she avoided using her first name here?

Thank you sj, Dana, Beverly, Jesse, Shir, and everyone.

In re the list: smonster hoped to keep us from duplicating our efforts, so the list was born.

I don't want anyone to feel pressure. I'm keeping it in part, because it's the only thing I can think to do. It's a task. It's just a casserole, with names for ingredients.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Anne W. is definitely active on Tumblr and I can message her if needed.

No pressure felt here. I just want to feel useful.

Valerie called me about ita, and even though I hadn't been here much in a long time, I was so grateful that she did. I feel like this about the "if needed" part: if you think someone would want to know, and you're in contact with them (or can be easily enough), tell them. EDIT: and if you tell me, I'll update the list, so other people don't have to try to figure out if someone has told Buffista X.

On the other hand, we all know we've spread out all over social media. If/when we go through periods when we're less in touch with other Buffistas, we all understand we're at least part of that equation to be out of touch.

I don't think we have to be like student loan collection agents and hunt the Buffista diaspora to the ends of the earth.

I just want to feel useful.

Same. And if I can save smonster from doing it, I figure that's useful -- at the very least to smonster.
