today's my one year DU anniversary! ask me anything!

[sadinred]

I have only 365-ish posts. Is that sad??? And today is my second day not smoking, yay!

So to celebrate my one year I am going to get all my courage together and post in the scariest of all DU forums The Lounge!

Maybe it'll sink like rock. Maybe it'll help increase my number of posts.

Either way Happy Anniversary to me! :toast:

4. Happy Anniversery

but what makes you think that the Lounge is the scariest forum? Hey, people from GD come over here to get a hug and lick their wounds!! Now what do we learn from that? Huh? Huh? :spank:

[sadinred]

5. MissHoneychurch I visit the Lounge all the time

because you guys are funny and fast thinking and entertaining and sweet. But I am very very quiet in the Lounge (actually I'm very quiet everywhere at DU - still not use to the whole Talking to Strangers thing). But in the Lounge in particular I have fear of rejection. There, I said it. I feel not at all up to Lounge Speed. So, to recap, you guys are funny and sweet and I love reading stuff in the Lounge...but I am afraid that I don't make the cut, so I stay quiet.

Oh, I hope I didn't insult you all by saying you're scary. I hope I didn't insult you by insinuating that I was using you to increase my post number!! I realized after that it did sound that way.

Hope this explains it MissHoneychurch. Thanks for asking!

6. start posting at night

at that time the threads aren't dropping as a stone. Me myself rather post at night (ok, that has partly to do with me 6 hours ahead of you) so that my threads aren't dropping like cold ....

No, you haven't insulted me at all. I was just wondering aloud what makes you think as you do.

:hug:

[sadinred]

11. I'll try posting at night. Thanks!

and don't worry about rejection here. I'm a loner by nature and even though some threads sink like a rock I still feel good hanging out here. Besides I'm sure the ladies here will make you feel right at home. *cough cough* ;-)
