The Happy Forumversary Thread!
« on: September 01, 2008, 03:43:28 PM »

Well it's the first of September, first day of spring, and for some reason three years ago on this day I made my intro thread on this forum... I'd lurked a bit for a month or two beforehand, but I was borrowing computers at the time so I didn't bother registering. Blahblahblah

I'm not sure which bit is scariest:

1. That I still post on here after such an OMG HUGE amount of time
2. That I remember the date
3. That I'm starting this thread about it
4. That the cough medicine that's meant to make me drowsy isn't working in either of the two ways I had hoped for

So can I just say:

1. Clearly a loser. (did you need that explained?)
2. Sept 1 is an easy date to remember, and I do have a good memory for stupid shit
3. We used to do individual threads... (and by 'we' I mean me and about 2 other people) but like birthdays I suspect this is probably best contained due to the slim chance of rabbit-like goings on... plus you know I'm one of the key 'starts stupid threads that no-one posts in' types on here...
4. I'm sick, and I'm allowed to be self-centred damnit! I was going to stop coughing and sleep this afternoon  :cry:

Actually it feels longer than 3 years. Internet time has always seemed different to me than real time.

And so I propose a toast:

To satire, to smart-arsedry, to google image search... to the time wasters, to the inane, to the oft-abused ellipses... to the many people I welcomed who never came back, to the people who used to argue about anything and everything... to randomly typing things in no apparent order... but most of all to the shit-stirrers, silly bunts and lovely people who have entertained me, perhaps a little too much.

Cheers




Urgh!

I joined 7-3-06  WOw never looked at that before

hope your better soon blue  you old war horse you

the forum has certainly changed over the last couple of years, which is a good thing
it has become a largley self sustaining community with little input from the Chaser Gods being needed,

So what are the highlights of your 3 years, are you the same person


For me I remember sitting in the chatroom a lot (still the only one I can get into at work) with johny bravo, mousaka, yak, the american guy who was in pharmecuticals, the quiet girl who passed away, the truck driver from outback NSW, and many more who I will remebeer once I hit the button

we had trivia  and word games, drank a lot of coffee, i was often drunk,

I am sure I was much funnier on line back then than now  but the rose coloured glasses were on pretty firmly
I have escaped years of depression, a homicidal wife, set up a new house with my kids, had kids leave me and come back, fallen in love, been rejected, had short term rollercaoaster rides with sexy nurses, been wounded by love and helped by people from here to recover and then had my love returned by an old friend, living the fairy tale of finding my first love after 25 years and having that settle into a proper relationship. It has been a wild ride,
I have lost 30 kg and  a beard, had a proper haircut for the first time in my adult life.
Been out to a proper restaurant with a lady dressed in a suit  and felt like an adult for a change.

spent weeks on the road getting to know myself, discovered I cannot live alone (which came as a great surprise)

lost my sense of humour and had it return barely recognised.

I read a lot of stuff I wrote when depressed and it was funny  but I can't be funny like that anymore    the whole sad clown thing seems to be true   you need the pain inside to bounce the funny off

It is harder when you are are happy

wow gone right of topic 


Happy 3  years blue

many more here or elsewhere

Ahhh Bluekins.  You were once a blue_house, welcoming me in the chatroom with Fadey.  You never degenerated into snark, and your leet googleimage-fu skillz were, well, leet.  You listen to the best of the best of Aus music, and appreciated silly in  a way that a generation of OMGLOLRANDOMM! tweens never could.

Proud to be a barnacle...
