Why thankya, **Odie**! And I’m not _that_ young… But I have old musical tastes at times. I think Shane’s one of those invincibles though.

And **Falc** , thanks for te well wishes too! Though after I hit the road to California (next week!!!) my post count should drop off significantly. Hopefully I’ll have _ahem_ other things to do in California.

Rasa, dear!

Congrats on 1000, and I am sincere in wishing you the best…which in this case means echoing your sentiments about slowing down significantly when you get to CA.

You will, indeed, have better things to do.

And Merry Christmas, too, while I am at it!

Scotti

Heya **Scotti**! Thanks! I’ll be busy driving from Thursday on, and trying to find a job once I get to California. I might squeeze in some time for oldscratch, too. 😉

And thankya **Gun**!

Okay, being a moderator and all, and a person of presumably upstanding moral character, I’m not supposed to be doing this, but …

Oh my! **Euty** , your moral standing seems to be lying down! And, pray tell, which way were you facing? Hmm? Heehee… it’s k, I won’t tell.

Take care of my lil’ home state while I’m gone, k? Just in case I ever want to come home…

Yay! It’s not a true party until **Spider Woman** shows up with her party hats!

Thanks Spidey! ::dons a party hat:: There’s a spider in my sig now, too, so you arachnids are pretty well represented here at my party.

What a cool web of friends I have…

Congratulations, Rasa! This is my first post party, but if it’s an ORGY, hey, how could I miss it?

What’s that? The orgy was LAST night? Damn, I should quit being late for everything.

I’ll check back later tonight to see if you’ve all revived enough to start up again (I could bring rum).

Woo! I broke **InternetLegend’s** post-party cherry! Thanks for the kindness. Yeah, this crew usually throws one hella party! (Um, for my East Coast friends I mean “wicked”.)

Unfortunately, they must have partied too hard last night in our behind-the-scenes orgy, and are still sleeping!
