Eureka! After years of silently watching from outside the window, I have finally reached the SDMB inner sanctum!
I must admit, I feel a bit naughty.
Now that I’m in, I have nothing to intelligent say… yet. So for now, I will paste the big scarlet “N” to my forehead and proudly perform the Newbie Dance Of Glee!

When I was employed and worried about meeting deadlines, I chose not to subrscribe. I’m fairly new at this business, and there’s already enough to distract me on the net. I was happy to lurk.
When I was unemployed, I needed every red cent I could get my grubby fingers on. I was happy to lurk.
Now that I have this new job with even less forgiving deadlines, the dope goes free-to-post.
I subscribed for the first year, but let my membership lapse because I was a poor, procrastinating student. Besides, I was always more of a lurker than a poster–no one will remember me–and couldn’t convince myself that the subscription fee was justifiable.
To (re)introduce myself:
Male, 36 years old. Single. No kids. One cat.
Memphis, Tennessee (used to live in Florida)
Art Historian (and gainfully employed as such, believe it or not).
Political views: pretty far to the left, though more of an anarcho-syndicalist nature than Marxist.
And I’m a hopeless Europhile regarding most topics–whether it’s history, travel, film, cuisine, art, sports, or what have you. I just hope I don’t come across as “that guy” who’s backpacked through Europe once and now thinks everything European is somehow inherently superior to anything in the U.S.
No, really, I’ve always felt that way (and I’ve done several trips to Europe…and only one of them was a “backpacking” trip).
Wohoo!
When I read we were going to free posting I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to log in as I thought I’d forgotten my password. The 4th go of trying I got it right.
Anyway:

Reading back my old posts it would appear that I have put on one and a half stone in weight, got a job and vastly improved my musical taste since I last posted.
Geeez, I can’t believe all the ghosts I’m seeing. Truly good to see you all again.
Welcome back!!
What I don’t get, and maybe some of you can answer this, is how did you all find out about the free posting so fast? Been lurking the whole time or was there a mass mailing? The change just went into affect and it seems like you all came back lickitty split!
Speaking for myself, I have been reading the whole time I couldn’t post. That reminds me, I need to go search for a GQ thread and post about the sexual pleasure of female fruit flies.
