I’m not a big fan of these things, but since it took me 10 months to make it to 100, I figured I’d announce it to everyone and watch it fade into the oblivion known as “old threads”.

Oh yeah, and in case anyone cares, my best friend is coming to visit me tomorrow! I haven’t seen her since Thanksgiving, so I’m really excited about it!

And I was actually able to post something in a Linux thread - me! Who knows nothing about computers! Woohoo!! 🙂

Thank-you for your attention. You may now return to more important Mundane Pointless Things {People} Must Share.

Congratulations!

Actually, I just came in here to say that you have a cool username. Goddess of memory, and mother of the Muses. I like it. 🙂

And, of course, I’m padding my own count 🙂
