Wow. I have officially been on FaceBook for too long. *just tried to find the "Like" button for KoNeko's post, will go bang head against wall now*
I'm mortified of reading anything beyond what I posted in Leaky Cauldron.

It feels a little like looking at old pictures, and like visiting old friends. I like this

Of course, I'm not actually in knots about it Just groaning at how Mary Sue and Drama-Llama I can recall my first OC being, heh heh. Now I seem to be adept at RPing cranky, misanthropic, middle-aged men. It's actually more fun than it sounds. Or maybe I just like playing the anti-hero jerkfaces.

Um... so, rediscovering where stuff is on this board makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. I haven't gotten the nerve to head down to the RP sections of the board yet, but things like our photo album and the TDSC entries and our other fanfics and stuff are actually kind of hilarious and awesome.

Completely agree with the laugh/cringe, Ko! I also have to be a little narcissistic and think sometimes: did I really start all this when I was 15? Well, get the ball rolling at least... We all did a pretty awesome job forming this back in the day.
I think I was funnier and wrote better when I was 15, too

Oh man. I just spent like an hour reading our yearbook entries. All of them. From 2001 to the most recent ones.
Oh, the laughs.
But still. So much <3.

I agree! It's really awesome to come here and not see a graveyard. Honestly, after a few years and moving into a new apartment with my husband, it felt awesome to somehow stumble onto TrapDoor's link, but when I did, and saw the age of some of the last posts being in years ago, it felt like I was looking at something that died, and it created a feeling of awe and sadness inside. It was like "wow, this place was hopping active once upon a time..."
And now we can bring it back! Perhaps some threads will remain abandoned, but we are coming back to a place that thankfully was never deleted from the Internet's memory database.
I want to comment on some earlier conversation about whethor we are "grownups" now or not. In years, I've gotten older, but the kind of happy/joking personality I have, I don't feel that has changed too much. 5 years ago, I'd say it had, but my husband helped me find the old me, and it has stuck around!
For example. I work in the vision center at Wal-Mart. One of my coworkers is an older gentleman, who we shall call Phil, and I often times get very frustrated at how much information he is not able to retain. It is one of those situations where he's honestly not fit to work at a satisfactory level, and everyone, including the manager and even the practicing Optometrist there knows, yet nothing is done about it.
The scenario goes as follows:
me: *creeping into the doctor's office, whispering conspiratorily to the eye doctor.* pssst, Dr. D?
Dr D: *holding cell phone in hand, mid-call* What?
me: *pantomimes with hands, holding a sling slot* Do you think from here, *poises sling shot to throw its invisible rock into the vision center main floor* we could knock some sense into Phil over there?
Dr D: *laughs, then returns to phone call which has been picked up by her husband, responding to his question of what's funny* Oh nothing, it's just Sarah making a joke. Again.
;D

The garden snail puppet and the pack rat puppet (I sell Folkmanis hand puppets at my bookshop) got into a fight the other day about customer service best practices. In front of customers. The rat (who looks and talks something like Rizzo the Rat) thought that patrons wouldn't want people hovering around asking if they needed help finding anything, but the snail (who looks somewhat creepy and sounds like an old windbag of a rural English baron) insisted that providing helpful tips about which books to buy was absolutely essential to offering honorable service.
The punchline was that nobody present even blinked. They're that used to me being a weirdo.
Also, one of the customers later asked how much extra it would be to buy the puppeteer
