Ugh, I gotta go for a jog. Baseball is making me fall behind.
I can’t stay fat in college, I won’t allow iiiiiiiiiiiiit.
WISH I COULD POST ON AN OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I KNOW I’LL BE BORED.

Welcome to AN, SingaporeA!
There is no "i" in Teamocil. At least not where you'd think.

I always wonder what the lurkers think of us crazies. Especially in the game threads. Glad you felt safe enough to join in.

I lurked a long time
cos I couldn’t make the time commitment to hang out as much as some people do. l found I was welcome, learn a lot, laugh a lot. Love y’all at AN, well most of y’all.
I lurked a while, too,
but when I lurked, the game threads were like 200 comments.

Pretty sure I lurked for a full year
Which is weird because I vaguely remember not having a user name until having lurked for almost a full year before that. But I joined in ‘05 so my memory of things doesn’t seem to fit.
Ask me about my squirrel.
