Reading the beginning of Bureau 1 is kind of charming. It like you moved in and before you were even done unpacking you needed a new Natter thread.

Reading the beginning of Bureau 1 is kind of charming.

Plus Zoe.

You guys, I've been reading some of Bureau 1 too.

Some of you have changed. A lot.

Plus Zoe.

Not there yet. Besides, I was around for that.

Heh. I just mentioned Zoe because discussion of her was right at the top for me when I first clicked on the thread. I only just noticed you were specifically talking about the very beginning, which I'm reading now. And yeah, holy crap is everybody adorable.

I started reading this board in January of 2005. I didn't realize it, but I guess that was around the time of the Gus thing? I vaguely recall people mentioning it on Deb's board (or maybe I read about it somewhere else? I think a thesis paper I found Googling years ago?? Now I am addled).

Some of you have changed. A lot.

Heh.

You guys, I have become infected with the zombie that is The Wire. So, let me eat your brain and tell you to watch it if you haven't. It's so fucking good. ita, have you seen it?

I just read 800 natters!!! Because the Olympics were kinda boring tonight. So I just have to say:

- Thanks, Msbelle!

Don't you mean "SPARTACUS"?

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

- I had no idea about all the Gus controversy. Or TV Tropes stuff, really. Because I am a major super duper skipper.

- I am real. Totes telling the truth. Although I can't remember exactly who the first Buffista I met in person was, I'm 95% sure it was Burrell, based on the fact that I decided I could have met her in real life without Buffistas.org at all, and therefore she was less likely to attack me with an ax in a dark alley before we headed off to a house party to watch the musical episode. But I've met other people since then. I'm pretty sure about that.

bon bon, when you get done watching it, go back and re-watch with all the various commentaries. I've now watched it three times all the way through, and it gets better every time.

Bwah! Which of us have changed? We are all the flawless scintillating conversationalists we always were, laid back and dispassionate about conflicts. Hey, it`s been a long time.
 
Anyway, here you all are talking former poster drama and over in Bitches it`s all SeriousPolitik, but I`m all HOCKEY! Through the beauty of Tivo I watched four games in seven hours tonight. I cleared my schedule to do so. I avoided other things to watch hockey, I watched late at night and I watched partially alone. It`s possible I might be overdosing.
 
All I have to say is Go Slovaks! Whoo! That`s spoilery, but I`m fairly sure I`m the only on one the boards heavily invested in Slovak hockey. Hee. I love the Olympics.
