Well... 3000 expressions of my incredible time-wasting abilities are on this here forum. It's been............... interesting, to say the least.
For those who don't know, I'm grooviechickie, or GC for short. I turned up in July last year and was really excited to find a forum dedicated to The Chaser boys, where I could converse with intelligent(!) people, swear like a truckie, abuse and get abused, flirt (I want that forum slut badge), and hang around grammar nazis. Ahhh, bliss!

I've met some amazing people here. Some have come and gone, some have hung around. Our Christmas party last year was fun:

Of course, I want to have a wicked, torrid love affair with Julian... although this picture is quite amusing, I am embarrassed by it because I look fat and crazed (the bloated frog look) and Julian looks like he's going to fight the paparazzi. This is because we were trying to help my daughter work out the camera:
We mustn't forget exactly why we're here either:
And remember, kiddies:
