So ... I'm back

I could be your private picture whore, baby
I could e-mail all your dreams
I could click away your sorrows
I could take … your breath away.

(It was either that or Tiny Dancer.)

Just the fact that I remembered it is… funny. I recall you looked quite young as well…

Is your mom still around the boards? I remember when you got her to join! Didn’t her first post start with something like “Dammit, Patrick…?”

Glad to see you’re back, bro! I have to admit, I was unhappy when I found a ‘guest’ tag under your name. I wish I’d thought of paying for your subscription, but until I get a job fingers crossed, money will be a bit tight. I’m especially glad to see you here because, for one thing, you were the main reason I joined; for another thing, I don’t get to see you often at all, and this is at least something of an approximation. Maybe if I go to VA Tech year after next, I’ll see you, but you may well not still be there by then…

To briefly foray into off-board communication, there were a few people, the first and second times, who offered either to let me use (with repayment) their plastic or who offered to pay outright.

The first time, I was just lazy. The second time, I elected not to renew. (As I indicated at the time, anyone who wants to know why is welcome to contact me elsewhere.)

I expect my location field will be the same (unless I go for a joke or something) this time next year.

Welcome back!

Damn, glad to see you back! Although I’ve never met you in person, you’re still the Doper that I’ve had the most interaction with. Still playing Diablo 2?

iampunha–as you stand, under oath, before the members of the SDMB Un-Atlantean Activities Comittee, I must ask you: are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the All-Night Party?

[sub]Welcome back![/sub]

Is that the one we voted on? I remember, pun posted a with-shirt picture and and a without-shirt picture and asked for votes. I recall enthusiastically voting for the without-shirt picture. He was so quiet and shy back then.

Welcome back pun. We heard you had a life or something. Now that you’re back, you can forget all that.

::waves::

Mr. Punha, good to see you back on the boards!

Pshaw. Anyone can get used to 4" stiletto heels given enough time.

Hi Punha!!! Good to see you. I come around the dope in fits and spurts these days, sometimes leaving for 6 months at a time before remembering to come back. So I’m kind of in the same boat as you what with being a bit out of the loop about current dope events… Nice to see you back, though!

Now about this new girlfriend… gonna tell?

[I am in the process of finalizing my divorce, btw, and am involved in a very serious way with a medical student named Dan who I met two years ago at a juggling convention in New York.]

Well a’course, you traitor, you:)

Bosda: yes.

CJT: Yes. And … well, duh, dude. Kinda expected. ::points to post count::

Rasa: ::waves for the sixth time:: (You people are going to wear out my wrist.)

Opal: heard as much from various sources. (You think we MADs keep secrets from each other? It is to laugh.) Girlfriend is … well, I’m shit at telling about people, and not in the habit of doing so online. Email’s in the profile if you have specific questions:)

As for that other guy, who in the hell is micahjn, and why should I know him?

:wink:

It was nothing serious. A little nookie here and there, maybe some hand-holding. I wanted kids, kids wanted him… it just didn’t work out.

And we’re still such good friends after, you know. He’s a really good friend, the kind you know will never make a move on you unless you say so. You can wear anything around him, and he’ll be totally respectful of your friendship.

[sub]I’ll never forget your moderator want, Skip, darling.[/sub]

Canes win?
punha back on the Dope?

Code Blue! I’ve died and gone to heaven!

Welcome back!!

Welcome back!

(I still remember your e-mail address.)

This would have been a lot funnier if I’d spelled wand properly.

::waves to dogbutler::

::contemplates hijacking a random thread just to say hi to Poly::

Do I have to run through the thread nekkid?
[runs a bit] GASP! [staggers off holding side]
Once a doper, always a doper.

Forget? With my sigline?

(not that I was notable then or am now)

Kyrie. I don’t even remember saying that.

But with close to 15k posts, I’m betting there are a lot of things I said that I don’t remember saying…
