When I first arrived, **TechChick** was the unofficial Cruise Director for the boards. She would organize events and jump in to cheer everyone up when they were down. She had her moments of depression, but as time went on she seemed to go off her meds more and more often and go completely batshit insane, which was also interesting to watch. She was eventually banned for making threats against the boards, but she was great for entertainment and I wonder what happened to her. ---

Okay, last time we had one of these threads and I mentioned a name, he came in right away to assure us he was still here. But this time I did a search, and he hasn’t been around in several months, so I think I’m safe. Plus, I don’t think he knows that I totally have a crush on him and always have… oops. **Jack Batty** , where have you gone to? And why haven’t you come to take me away from all this yet? ---

Or having a life…whichever. With the Sims 2, I have many, many lives. 😃 What? 😉 Thanks for the kind words, you guys. I just got a little blah so I’ve mostly been haunting more laid back forums (read TSR). Missed you guys, though. 🙂 How’s the **kitten** and lil’ turkey been? ---

I exists only in the etheral underworld of lukerdom and totally egotistical name-check searches from threads two years old. I rise from the dead, and whip out some tasty electrons so that posters in general will say, “2006 … what the fuck?” And then … _POOF_ I am the wind. ---
