I'm just too glad to see you Yaz and Shadowcat...

I'll end up weeping again *sniffle*

Cheese in can: I'd rather have pasta in a box [img]smile.gif[/img]

This seems as good a place as any to post the news.

After the return of Happybunny, I sent an e-mail to Jenjen to reestablish contact. She responded today. [img]smile.gif[/img]

She is doing well. She has also been working with FEMA in helping write grants to get Harrison County, Mississippi rebuilt. She and her gf of 6.5 years broke up: no drama there, she said, the relationship just wasn't working for her anymore. And she is still very much into comics.

The childin always comes home after a time.

Pasta in a box is Canada's nation food! (KD or Kraft Dinner) (or, for South Parkians, Kroff Dinner, Lmao!)
There was, for a brief, glorious moment, Pasta in a box that also had Cheese in a can inside!

It's so nice to meet an old friend/to pass the time of day/and talk about the old Hostboard/a million miles away...

You know, its funny, I have lurked through here a couple times this year, and I think maybe even posted once or twice, and somehow totally missed this thread. Heh. Go figure.

I started posting here in 2000, right after I went back to school to get me a degree. and here I am, 2006, still working on that degree. I've had more illnesses than I can count in that time, which is why I haven't yet finished up here, but I will, I'll graduate this December. Yay!
In the last 5 years, I've been to Germany for a month, been to Rome for four months with my university, during which time I got to see large swaths of Europe. My sister has gotten married, which has probably been the happiest day of my life so far. When I first started posting here I had only a vague idea of who I was and where I was going, and now I have a very clear idea of who I am, and no idea of where I am going... Some things change, many stay the same.

I've met some of you (including usmu), and I wish I could meet more of you.

I don't read SiP anymore, which is how I first got here. And I rarely come to the forum anymore. It is comforting though, to drop in now and then and see that you are all still around. I wonder sometimes what became of those who stopped posting, and dropped off the face of the earth. I find myself surprised that I miss not just the people I got along with well here, but I miss even those who irritated me (and they are small in number).

And I miss the green smiley face that hostboard used to have. The big cheesy grin guy.

<font size="2" face="Comic sans ms, Helvetica, sans-serif">Absolutely. Even after all this time I still think HB's smiley's suck.

My favourite was the little blue smiley that you could put next to the thread title.

By the way, I'm back in the UK and have a job! Phew. In London, so I'm commuting at the mo' and will move there when I have some cash.

By the other way, toastboy got married and had a baby boy.
