Who are you? Yeah, you. I've seen some new names around here. Why not come in and say hi to the gang.

Hello - I'm absentee bunny Slack-a-gogo. I'm an on-again-off-again MeCha. You might remember me from such posts as...actually, I think I'm off/away too much to stick. At the moment I'm hoping to be on-again and maybe even making it stick. The problem is, I get distracted easily.

Hi. I'm either on mecha because I am swamped with work and procrastinating, or I have no work and am procrastinating in finding some.

Today it is a bit of both.

Hi, gang.

Hallo boppers!

Hiya. This is where I hang out in order to procrastinate at work. (Right now I have 4 film trays to make and shelve, pictures to take for cataloging, and boxes of building plans to inventory.)

I've been absent for a few months now.

But I'm going to make an effort to hang here more often.

Yo, bunnies.

I too like to procrastinate here while working. People refer to this coming Monday as "Cyber Monday" and a big shopping day because, the theory is, people only do their online shopping while slacking off at work. But I thought that the term originated because people were doing said shopping because they didn't actually have a computer at home (yet). If that's the case, then I don't see why are people still using the term.

Oh, sorry, was that aloud?

Hi, gang. Is there a way to see exactly how new one is? Like MeFi's user numbers?

posted by Obscure Reference 24 November | 13:55

I suppose you could click on folks' profiles and then look for their oldest comment. Though I feel sure there are some lurkers and stuff.

If memory serves, we had user numbers here, briefly, when the site was first created, and someone decided to get rid of them.

posted by box 24 November | 14:01

I like the fact that there are no user numbers, no favorite counts, etc, here.

But hi all you lurkers and more recent bunnies.

Little known fact: 'dg' stands for doppelganger.

Hello and welcome (back!) to all the nice people! You are all nice, right?

Little known fact (actually, I didn't even know it until I read it on my MeCha Wiki page): 'chrismear' is short for CHRIStMas bEAR.

Hi!

I'm just a big old lurker here, but I'm trying to pop around a bit more often and maybe I'll actually start posting one of these days.

In the meantime, I will take solace in the fact that a photo taken in my flat was featured here a couple of weeks ago.

Hello hello and whuffles for all!

Hello! I'm new. JonathanStrange recruited me. You guys seem nice*.

Welcome! Any friend of JonathanStrange is a strange friend of ours! :)

Taxi! Long time no see! Sue, you too! Hello, hello everyone!

*Pleasedon'thurtme. - Well, some of the whuffles get a little enthusiastic, but the bruises don't last. Whufflehickies?

Hmm, that depends on whether she's another Victorian, because I think we've filled our quota already.

I spent all day today and last night in Melbourne - believe me, you don't want more of those people.

I kid, I kid!

What? And no visit dg?? D'awwww!

Also: hello nicecupoftea! Yay! I'll make sure they all behave themselves if you don't tell them disreputable stories about me. Deal?

posted by jonathanstrange 25 November | 08:06

Hi. I'm here occasionally. Don't mind me. I'll just putter around a bit.

Ah the whuffling injury, of course.

Think of MeCha like a big excitable puppy: we're just so darned happy that you're here, and that we're here, and that --- SQUIRREL!

I'm lurking a bit more than I have been lately. Hi!
