Awkward intro post...

[scorpion]

Hi all.  Intro posts always seem kind of weird to me, but I figured it was better than jumping into posts and having people wonder (or not...) who the newbie is.  Anyhow, I've enjoyed lurking on this board for a bit and lately have been painfully bored at work, so I thought I'd join up and join in.  Looking forward to chatting!

I'm going to need to know how fast you go through a gallon of milk before I accept you.

[LauraMoser]

Do you own any louboutins?
Do you have a sister?

Hi!

[scorpion]

OMG. Like a gallon in a day in a half. Is that weird? :-) Honestly, I go through so little milk I buy by the quart -- and sometimes can't even finish that. I actually really like it though, and I love cereal.

No pets, unless you count my plants. And husband. We go to the shelter to look at dogs on a regular basis, however.

[scorpion]

Nope, no Louboutins. Or lace, for that matter. And I do have a sister, but you can't call her (I'm not entirely sure I have her number).

[fluffaluff]

How fast can you run a half marathon with an ear infection and strep throat? This better be impressive.

[lilybug]

Do you want kids? Does your husband?

[Deleted]

Okay these guys are cracking me up. Anyhoo welcome.

Where do you live?
Do you work?
Any kids?
Married?

[scorpion]

Y'know, I had a feeling I'd get this, joining so soon after that debacle. :-) But at least it wasn't the very next day! (Well, I guess that one was still active yesterday....) But from one internet stranger to another, I promise I am not L&L. (I hate running and don't want kids.... That proves it, right?) And not jlm, since I don't know that story so I assume that one pre-dates my lurking.

How did you find us?

[lilybug]

Okay, sorry Favorite tv shows?

Interesting choice of screen name. Do those creatures have any redeeming qualities?

Some aren't poisonous!

Our pet scorpion just died.

Hello!

[sunshineray]

Hi! I am a lurker/newb as well, but wanted to chime in anyway. I don't have any insightful questions so, welcome!

[hawtdog]

Lurker here coming out too.
I don't do lace, louboutins (how do you even spell that?) or drink milk.
Now I'm going to jump in and start posting. I feel a little creepy lurking.

hmmmm no answer from OP?

Lol

[vaportrail]

Bummer, I was starting to like her.

[ashbridemd]

Does anyone else find it weird that she said she didn't know jlm's story but understood the references and associated it with jlm? I'm probably reaching.

[scorpion]

Sorry, got stuck in a meeting! Anyhow, I used to post on TK a bit, and lurked on TN occasionally after I got married. I remember seeing something around the mass exodus, then forgot about it, then remembered and Googled GBCN for some entertainment.

As for scorpions, well, according to Wikipedia, scorpions are known to glow when exposed to certain wavelengths of ultraviolet light such as that produced by a black light. That's a neat quality (if not redeeming...). But as for the name, I'm a Scorpio. Quite creative, I know.

[sunshineray]

No one else except the OP mentioned jlm by name. I was lurking for that debacle, so I suppose OP could have been too. But the conspiracies are rubbing off on me lately.

She said she didn't know the story and it pre-dated her lurking. Hmmm.....

[sunshineray]

You have to keep responding or everyone assumes you've disappeared forever. Lol.

Eh, everyone is pretty suspicious of everyone lately. It was discussed in depth in the marathon L&L post the other day, so it's not really a stretch for her to know who that is, even if she just started lurking. 

ETA: AutumnRose25 beat me to it.

Ease up there Sherlock, she clearly read the L&L Marathon post and JLM was mentioned in there like 3948503 times, so I think you are reaching a bit on this.

Well, considering I didn't read the thread in its entirety, but mostly skimmed, I wasn't aware that jlm was even mentioned. I probably should have assumed.

Here's our late, great scorpion glowing under a blacklight.

Jlm was thrown around a lot in L&L's thread. It isn't that far fetched for her to mention JLM if she read the L&L thread. 


ETA: sigh...late to the party...as usual. 

[scorpion]

Yes, especially around the L&L thing, I've seen jlm come up a bunch of times recently, and it's pretty clear just from those references that she's pretty much the standard to which all drama is compared!

textbookcase, that picture is awesome. Sorry for your loss though!

[scorpion]

Crap. You know where I live? Already? You guys are good!

Bit of a wino, here.

Did you realize right away that you had made a mistake posting your 1/2 marathon time, or did it take a few people doubting you before you were like ohshit?
