You know what I just realized???

I have just passed my 2 year mark on this site. I can not believe all the fun I have had in the last two years, all the friends I have made, all I have learned and especially that you have managed to convince me to write and post three stories.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me. Thanks

I have just checked myself and I have been here since 2005. You just don't know where the times goes in this place.

That is what I was thinking .... I have been here TWO years.... it feels like only a few short months ago that I first logged on and explained that I know nothing about computers, the internet or forums. Now I appear to the the second highest poster on this site. (I still have not decided if that part is a good thing or a bad thing.)

Thank you for those kind words Condorfan. Sometimes I still need convincing that I am not invisible and that my thoughts have some worth - that shows the harm those High School bullies did to me.

I know exactly where you're coming from. I'm still suffering damage from bullies all through my schooling years. I think you are a very intelligent and thoughtful person and I value your opinion.

CD you are wonderful and we all are happy you had the courage to not only join us but to post and let us get to know you.

It is great to see how you have grown from the shy person you were at first to the outgoing fan who shares opinions.

I can't really imagine CD as a shy person. That's impossible for me think that......no wait that's impossible for me to think full stop, hee hee.

LOL Met.

I am actually a very shy person ... while on here I have opened up a lot and I "think" it is actually starting to show in real life.

Wait I KNOW it is affecting my real life, after all I did go all the way to California to visit TJ last summer, a few years ago I would not have even dreamed of doing something like that.

But I know I still hold back a lot of my opinions and comments, unsure of what people will think of them or make of me.

FWIW, most of the time I don't see this 'shy' person that CD mentions, even IRL!

Okay, then maybe I mean very introverted and unable to connect to people in a face to face situation - until I know them.

I will say Cloud, that while I have only been around a mere year (that's practically virginal around here!), since my very first moments of lurking to now I have absolutely always seen you as as a present, benevolent *force* on this board. If we were in a theater, I'd describe you as having a natural "stage presence". You are such an integral part of the community here, I just can't even imagine this place without you. Nor can I picture you as shy or introverted. You always have such wonderful, funny, naughty and insightful things to say. I like your opinions, your fics, your playfulness -- you are part of the fabric of gatchamania. you rock.

GoGirl, you have expressed this far more eloquently than I ever could!

And it's great to have had you here for a year! I hope there are many more! Huggles

It's a very good thing!! This place wouldn't be the same without you, CD.

So do I and for similar reasons. Sometimes it gets too much and I MUST have a say on this or that and sometimes a situation comes along where me and another perosn might get into a misunderstanding but I do feel that you guys are my friends unlike in real live, in fact I think I have more friends online than I ever had at school and college.

I KNOW I have more friends online than from my college and school days. The few friends I thought I had at college have all fallen off the face of the Earth.

And I left high school not wanting to remember any of those "friends." In fact as went as far as moving to a Uni. that was the furthest point from my home town as I could get, and yet still remain in the same Province, hoping to start a different life.
