It's been two years since I've posted anything... I think it's time to unlurk.

Hi! How's life been? Let's see: 3 point updates x 52 weeks x 2 years. You us 300 updates.

posted by Ardiril 08 June | 18:26

You forgot the interest, Ardiril. I think it's more like 330 updates. And count yourself LUCKY the interest rate is only 10%!

Hey yg44, things have been well?

posted by richat 08 June | 18:29

330 updates?! Wow. I'll get right on that.

Things are, well, pretty much the same as they were two years ago. I think... I have a different job than I did back then, but the BF and I are still at the same place in Chicago. And he's still a BF. :)

I also have to say that I've thought about you guys a lot in my time away, and have lurked a bit here and there. So even if I haven't been around, you're still all close to my heart. *tear*

Who are you again?

I'm the one who was going to send Easter goodies to everyone and then lost track of time and didn't so she spent two years in the shadows feeling bad about it.

posted by youngergirl44 08 June | 18:47

Whoa, two years in the shadows, eh? That's a looooong time to be in the shadows. I think we're all over being so furious with you now anyway.

posted by richat 08 June | 18:51

Hi youngergirl! I was away for a bit, too. I was reading but not posting much. Are you still living in Chicago? Hope you are well.

posted by LoriFLA 08 June | 18:52

Hi youngergirl! I still have your little fabric bunny you made me! It cheered me up in some darker times in my life. Welcome back!

posted by typewriter 08 June | 19:08

I hope you guys are over being furious because I'm tired of feeling guilty.

We are still in Chicago, LoriFLA. And I'm glad you still have the bunny, typewriter. I've got mine on different shelves around the apartment.

Maybe I'll even get back to the Photo Friday wiki page.

About a dozen of y'all are getting surprise cards in the mail some time in the next few months, too. They're all neatly drawn, I just have to redo the return addresses on your envelopes.

Hi, youngergirl. I'm only here sporadically and i don't say very much of anything any more for no reason in particular, but i'll always have a soft spot for metachat, and probably always check up on it.
I just had some booze because i'm feeling pretty low.
I miss metachat sometimes but i'm pretty sure metachat doesn't miss me.

posted by ethylene 08 June | 19:47

youngergirl - I doubt that anyone was ever furious!

posted by typewriter 08 June | 19:47

OMG! Homecoming!!!11!!

posted by Doohickie 08 June | 19:53

I miss you ethylene. I'm happy you posted here. Here, let me refill your wine glass.

There, how's that?

posted by Kangaroo 08 June | 20:04

Man, I was totally joking about the furious! Eep.

And yes, eth, I've noticed you aren't around. So there.

posted by richat 08 June | 20:06

I keep disappearing what i write here because i don't want to hijack the thread.

posted by ethylene 08 June | 20:32

I am happy to see you back, youngergirl, and I always love seeing you, ethylene!

I'm not the man I used to be. Doesn't mean I've gotten better. Welcome back to the Hutch, yg44.

Man, almost EVERYONE'S here! Well done youngergirl44!

posted by richat 08 June | 21:39

Yay! A resurrection thread!

jonmc - I just thought of you on Saturday. the BF and I were at a Styx concert and they played "Too Much Time on My Hands". For whatever reason, that song always makes me think of you. I guess it's on my ipod too, so I think of you often.

posted by youngergirl44 08 June | 21:49

Welcome back!

I've seen a few zombified names lately. It's so nice to see them.

And youngergirl44 replied:
My precious, precious bunnies, I Love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering when you saw only one set of footprints in the sand...
it was then that I carried you.

eth, I miss your Night Bus posts, I really do. I could use a gelato delivery and a massage right about now.

Hi youngergirl! Hi Ramix! Hi eth! *whuffles everybunny*

posted by Specklet 09 June | 05:36

Yay returning bunnies!

posted by BoringPostcards 09 June | 06:39

Hey ramix!!!!! Was so sorry to hear about your loss. :(

posted by Melismata 09 June | 09:17

Hi guys. Yes, ramix, I've been thinking about you.

I don't like to be rude, but this is WRONG WRONG WRONG, ethylene.

Yay for returning names! And for arse_hat, whom I DO notice! With a YAY! (That's a YAY!, not a yeah. Yeah, it is.)

ramix, I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't have anything sensible to add to your AskMe question, so I stayed out...

But it's nice to see you show up here, where "something sensible" is not a requirement. That allows me to just say: oh, it's so hard but you'll get through it. Take good care.
