This is a shameless attempt to break into the SDMB “group” and get attention. =>
Ya see, I’ve been on here for a few months, posting when I have something to contribute, being a good little newbie… But I have not yet quite gotten into the SDMB society, so I’m taking a new tack and unsubtly demanding attention.
Welcome! (feel free to put “welcomed by Gunslinger” in your sig:))
I suppose you could go over to Very Vaguely Creepy and fight over me…(see sig)
You can be in my group.(But then I’m a loner) 
Howdy, LaurAnge.
Darn, I thought I was going to get the first response in, but I see Gunslinger slipped in before I hit “Submit Reply”. Oh well.
Check out the new sig! I feel so special and accepted! sniffles Thanks guys! Oh, now I’m gonna cry =>
So do I. Thanks for using it!
Cries for attention is what this forum is all about, LaurAnge. Welcome!
Get AIM and I might start talking to you so much you’ll wish you hadn’t gotten it . . . unless, of course you have a boyfriend, in which case I’ll just be cordial:D
It would be kinda stupid for me to welcome you, as I don’t think anyone actually welcomed me . . .
Hey LaurAnge,
We’ve already spoken “elsewhere” on the boards (Pit), but here’s an official welcome! Remember who was there for ya when everyone ganged up- Who loves ya’, baby?
Zette 
laughs Iampunha, I don’t have AIM but if I did I’d give you my name. Although I am on the phone with my boyfriend right now who’s threatening to beat you up =>
I have ICQ, though! And this thread is a definitely SDMB self-esteem booster =>
Hey there LaurAnge! Hope you enjoy the boards. Don’t feel you’re not part of the SD society…everyone is welcome if they follow the rules.
Hey Zette,
How could I ever forget? grins
I know this is one thread I would NEVER EVER being anywhere NEAR the pit…
Consider yourself welcomed by Sani. And for the record, I’ve considered you as much a part of the boards as myself for quite a while now. Take that how you will.
I know you don’t have AIM. Or, if you did, you didn’t indicate as much in your profile.
Your boyfriend will have to be really strong to beat me up in DC from Canada. He’ll have to be pretty strong (or knowledgeable in martial arts, or something else, I dunno) to beat me up regardless.
Hello Lauren! I got your little email today…that made my day! My mom and I were just discussing email today and we both agreed that we both get too many spams and forwards, not enough “real” email. When I saw yours I was like, “Ooooo!” and clapping my little welfish hands. Thanks so much!
How weird, I never considered you a newbie. You seem like one of those people who’s been around here forever, and that’s a compliment. :^) <–you’ve been smiled at with the trademark welfish grin!
hugs
Hi LaurAnge-
It is very nice to meet you, and I am glad you are enjoying your time on the board!
Scotti
AAA! I feel so disgustingly special =>
Iampunha- don’t take it personally, he threatens to beat up everyone who hits on me => He’s really a softie, all talk!
Sani, Welfy, Scotti and everyone else who posted: You’ve toally made my day. I now longer feel SDMB insecure!
Whatever. I do not care.
Howdy, LaurAnge. Nice ta meetcha, though I’ve already posted to at least one of your threads.
haHAHA…Laurange is me…suckers
