Alllo? Hey Metachatzens!

During MeFi's downtime today (Read: interruption of my very important and hard-earned procrastination time), it occurred to me that I'd signed up to metachat ages ago, but had never contributed (ridiculous, I know). I'm planning to change this. [More:]

I'm pretty excited to see some of my favorite ex-mefites participating here, too. It seems ridiculous, given the limited online interactions we've had, but I've missed hearing your "voices," so to speak. But yay for your being here!

Wow, this "Hi, my name is ______" isn't sounding as inspired as I hoped it might. :-/ So, in an attempt at saving it, a short and sad tale:

A few weeks ago, I drove a sizeable distance to Pasadena to pick up a pint (okay, two pints) of this glorious ice cream: yummmmmm. Several days later, however, I realized that my reintroduction of dairy to my diet was the source of my gastrointestinal woe. So now I have two pints of this delicious ice cream that I can't touch sitting in my freezer. :(

Also, firefox is telling me that "sizeable" is not the correct spelling, but I refuse to use "sizable" because it looks incredibly awkward.
*waves at the new kid*

You need to barter those babies for equal treats.
Make someone bring over fruit and chocolate.

Oh, I am SO wishing I could take those pints off your hands -- but I don't think they'll make the trip to Missouri.

Hi, and nice to meet you!

Would that I lived near-by, I'd trade with you, numinous. And . . Hi!
(what's that spelling extension you have for FireFox?)

So your first contribution here consists of coconut-curry ice cream?

Well-played!

Hi! Bummer about the ice cream. I second the bartering idea -- pints like those have to have some street value.

I'll take them, it's still below freezing here.

Hey it's great to see you here! Welcome! This place is a nice counterpart and/or respite from and/or totally independent corollary to the Blue Place. It's awful nice to have both, like it's nice to have vanilla AND chocolate, peanut butter AND jelly, the beach AND the mountains.

*waves hello, points out interesting landmark, discreetly swipes ice cream while numinous is distracted, 'cause man that looks good*
