Well, I was trying to figure out where I could post so everyone can see my new sig! So I thought, well, maybe I’ll start a thread…then I saw this one…

Perfect!

View my new sig here!!!

I thought about posting a list of parody questions for April Fools day, but I didn’t. I wish I hadn’t posted the “really, really vague” movie thread, it was **too** vague. I should have used a different OP for my “Is the Lion King a Nazi?” thread, but it was April Fools day, I was feeling whimsical and I didn’t think anyone would take me seriously. I should have known better. :0

At one point, I came really close to starting a Pit thread ranting about the Randomize feature on my car CD player. I’m glad I didn’t. It would have been really pathetic. I have another idea right now I’ve been mulling over for a few days, trying to decide whether it would be any good.

I remember thinking of an amazing, insightful, and even _(gasp)_ funny thread topic for MPSIMS. Of course, by the time I got home, I had forgotten it. I opened up the “Post New Topic” window and typed something about how great my idea had been and how sorry I was that I had forgotten it. Then I thought better of it and clicked the little X in the top right corner.

I’m glad I didn’t post it. I don’t think I could deal with having my thread sink with 0 replies.

I really wish I could remember what it was I wanted to say in the first place, though… ☹
