I came here over a year ago...

...and I've just now reached the pinnacle 1k mark.


I was going to save this for tomorrow evening but what the hell, right?

I can sum up my time here with the following:

There are places I remember, all my life....though some have changed. Some forever not for better, some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments, with lovers and friends....I still can recall, some are dead and some are living....

In my life, I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one compares with you and these memories lose their meaning, when I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection, of people and things that went before, I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life, I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection, of people and things that went before, I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life, I love you more...

In my life, I love you more...


-In My Life by The Beatles

Now, there are people here that I guess I'm supposed to dedicate this lil' ol' post to, eh? These should be the people I give a damn about or something, I suppose? Hmm, where to begin?

Back in August of 2k, my cyberbuddy exodus told me to get my ass over here...where the hell is that fucker? I came here and saw a few familiar handles from over at the spf.

My beat brothers are here: Feral Automaton and Spooky. The coolest Ruskie I've ever met with amazing talent with words and humanity; redguard made me feel quite welcome.

Paint CHiPs, bastard that he is, is a pretty cool guy that I'd like to hang out with (and beat bloody with many live bats). The same goes for that dirty half breed, fiend. And there are others here that have helped me with other things.

bunkum, I've still got that one lesson plan you sent me. Haven't used it yet (doubt I'll be able to with my current kids) but I'm sure I will and you'll get full credit, no doubt. CHiPsJr and Smug Git (even though the limey smells like a sewer pipe) are great people to talk to about school stuff. absolut has been here to help with so much before those two wankers came along, as well. Goatboy is great to have around to talk shit about poetry; even if the poetry in question is mine.

karen and Chelle were always great to talk to. I've just started really talking to lunacy though she's been around as long as I have and she's fun. Prozacjones is a right ol' bloke. When he's actually around, talking to him is very engaging. RiZZ, despite his constant misspellings is damned great. slappy is always so cheerful and talking to her (except for that one time when she thought I was insulting her for playing the bass since it's low-class...don't ask, it's just confusing and will start another argument...for more info, read Class: A Guide Through the American Status System) helps to cheer me up, as well. Though, she should lay off the Potmash.

splAt, I'm not a dirty hippie. I bathe regularly. Hell/euphorbia, we will probably never agree on a damned thing but I really respect the fact that you are blatantly honest about who you are and what you believe.

And I guess this brings me to that bastard ItsJustLogan and his dirty girlfriend, CatFat. If you two crazy kids hadn't meddled in my life, or in Firedrops's life, we'd be...well, we wouldn't be, I guess. Thanks, you crazy kids.

Firedrops, you already know how I feel about you. Possibly the best thing ever to come out of this place is the way people get connected. People end up coupling up and damn, things are great.

Now, there are people that I may have missed out on here. It's not that I hate you. It's that I'm getting ready to go to sleep and I'm pretty damned tired. Just remembering these names (remember it's been over a damned year already!) has me going back and forth, trying to think if I've left anyone out. I have much love for this place. It's my home away from home, away from home. It's certainly where I hang my hat in cyberspace. I guess what I'm trying to say in my own weird way is: I love you, asylum!

p.s. tack rules! (though he does sometimes deserve a good kick in the teeth...but you all do)

Flo is the whole f'in show.

If his students don't appreciate him, they should get stuffed.

But then, students don't appreciate ANYTHING. That's why they're students.

'Tis okay, flo, I know youse and meese is frens.

I was shuffling through my documents folder the other day and rediscovered your BladeRunner paper. I read it a long time ago, but I don't remember if we ever talked about it.

You're a good guy, flocat (and yes, that will ALWAYS be your name). I highly respect you for the job you do with those kids. They are lucky to have you and although many will sail past you without learning a thing, those that are worth it will learn. Hang in there and never give up on them. You and your colleagues do a great service to all of society.

I can't believe you've only reached 1000 posts yet I feel I know so much about you, your ethics and your life.
You're obviously a pithy poster.
Hmmm.
A poster of pith?
Anyway...you are a genuine person, Tomas, and I've appreciated you letting me into your life a little.
Even if you think Austen sux.
Poor misguided fool.

Flo, that was so lovely. I am so glad that we have been talking these past few months, and I am honored to have you as my friend. I feel the same about this place, although you beat me by a few posts. Congrats, and thanks so much to contributing the way you do. Hang in there babe.

Tomas -

What you share - how you share yourself - your internal journey - it's pretty fascinating. A brother in academia and a fellow equalizer - I've enjoyed what you post and look forward to much more.

Thanks mon!

Wilson.

It took you a year because you (as well as I) realize there is life away from a computer screen.

I've been here over a year as well and I'm not even close to 1k.
