Re: What are some of your first remembories
Yeah, Martha was Giggling.

YES. Also I was super nervous she still really hated all of the ex-NEYers and she was going to freeze our bras or something.
Current besties are Moo, Fent, Cali. I don't talk to NP as much anymore and that makes me sad.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
I was the first one you met, so that counts for something, right?

absolutely!
Aw, now I feel bad. Things got so busy when Evie came, I haven't talked online much to anyone lately. Also, if you hadn't moved away I would see you at Christmas (my family is coming down and we're meeting in Flagstaff). But you moved away. YOU LEFT ME ALL ALONE. THIS IS YOUR FAULT.
And I'm 99% sure I'll see you in April. And Lorne just got accepted into a conference in Boston in February, so I may see you guys again before April as well.
I have no internet besties either. There are people I've met whom I really like (Mod, Lindsay, TSD), and there are people I'm pretty sure I'd be besties with if I lived in the same region as them (Cali, Tasty, Kristen).
Hezz intimidated me too! She's like that super popular, super funny, super pretty, super nice girl in hs who makes me all weird like, "dur, can I touch your hair?"

Noooo don't feel bad! Dude, you're like the busiest person on the planet, what with your kids, business, work, etc. etc. I totally understand! Now *I* feel bad! :P And YAY for April and possibly February!
And Christmas in Flagg sounds awesome. I love it there.

Yay February! I can't go into the Copley Westin without thinking of sitting in the lobby with you and Lorne, watching all the people with their matching backpacks go by.
Bethie and I also pointed out the place we went at the airport when we met Cali. There's a plaque there. Or, well, there should be.

I only vaguely remember what brought me to NEY. I was on the South Florida board and I think there was a C&P of somebody trashtastic from that board (and there were several, which is why I can't pin it down). I thought everyone was really funny. This was sometime after Elfstergate but before Chopgate.
Since I was only engaged 10 weeks, didn't visit the knot at all prior to our engagement, and it only took a few days to plan our wedding....weddings were never really the draw. I had been pretty involved in another message board, but it was for a hobby that I had waning interest in, so it was time to pick something else up. I like having an online home, so to speak. You ladies seemed funny and smart, so I pulled up a chair.
I didn't post consistently until after the merger, and I don't think I was noticed until I posted a dramatic reenactment of a buying vs. renting thread that went completely off the rails. People liked the stage directions and use of a gong, and I felt a bit like Sally Field.
No besties, but I've liked everyone I've met in person (Nov, Mod, TSD, Fallin) and I chat mostly with Mod and PDXria. I need to meet PDXria.

Oh, Moo and her ex-H are the only NEYAFBCN people ever to be in my house and Ali came to my wedding.
I don't remember really "going" anywhere but I do not know what the Chloe thing, the prostitute cone, or the Cherished stuff is. I also didn't get all the stuff about Winged and the fake picture. I must have taken a holiday at some point. I know that Joon and Dolly really got on my nerves at the same time, so maybe I was taking a break.
However, i was around for all of Aviva, IcePrincess (and skeet skeet), Bravata, and the pooped collar guy and the guidette girl. At at least one point there was a lot of NJ/NEY crossover fighting.
I also remember Cali thinking I was uptight for not wanting to dress up for Hoaraween and because I was a little shy. I'm normally not, but everyone knew each other so well except me. Now I miss Amy#'s. I also remember B gave me $200 in cash to go to Hoaraween. I used to carry very little cash. I barely spent any money. Then my wallet was stolen that Monday with all that money in it. I now never carry cash.

Wasn't that the k+ some letters girl?
I remember very little about my first posts.
I do remember coming into a discussion about shaving, and I made an innocuous comment about how I prefer to shave my armpit hair every day because it makes me feel more sanitary under there. And then Bloomie flamed me hard being all "ARE YOU CALLING ME UNSANITARY. HAVING HAIR ISN'T UNSANITARY STOP OPPRESSING WOMEN!"
I remember feeling sad because Fallin disliked me.The knot was my first ever message board experience, so I was the epitome of lame newb. I'm also an odd person and I don't know if that always translates favorably onto the internet.
I don't have a BFF here, sniff. I have come to really lub a lot of people here though.
Wasn't she the one that started the post about Lube that got us on Jezebel?
OMG bloomie used to have some real wacko freakout moments about the patriarchy. I remember one day we were looking at weird sex position names on urban dictionary or something and there was one called, I think, the John Stamos? Or something like that. It involved anal and punching the girl in the back of the head. I LOLed or something at it and Bloomie was like "Really? You think that's funny? You think it'd be FUNNY if Nate was fvcking you in the ass and he punched you in the head to bring himself more pleasure? REALLY???" and I was like "Haha ... no ... I guess not ..." and she was entirely serious and it was really creepy and weird.

It's because she was so much more enlightened and beyond the limits of ordinary social norms than the rest of us.
Or, maybe that she was stunted in her emotional maturity by hooking up with a controlling much older guy as a teenager and married him far to young.
Or, something.
That was totally the Tony Danza. I don't remember exactly how it went, but it was something like, you're doing the humpings from behind and you ask "who's the boss?" and when the person underneath turns his/her head to ask who, you yell "Tony Danza, that's who" and then you punch them.
It's still funny. Bloomie just didn't understand because she's not as evolved as me.

I hate love and marriage. I got married so I could destroy these things from the inside. - NoisyPenguin
It's a good thing my circle of trust is as giant as my vagina. That only leaves a couple people out. - Cali
Yes! That was it! And she flippedthefuckout.

I am legit crying right now. Like, badly enough that I had to grab a compact from my purse to make sure I didn't have mascara tears. Holy crap.
It's because of my keen intellect and earth shattering perspective on current events.
My first remembories of the national boards were before AFB or NEY came into their own. P&E was in full swing with their close knit group and I was beyond intimidated to post there. I lurked a lot and maybe chimed on a few threads but 6 years later I have no idea what they were about... It was the end of summer/fall of 2005 when AFB started to slide into more than just a place for just married girls to drop their advice and AW their pictures. I have a terrible memory, I wish I could remember names, but there was one girl that I absolutely hated and I stuck around mostly to argue against whatever she stood for. (I want to say she had a southern sounding name and her wedding was in Italy? I could be combining two different people though.) I remember one night when ECC and Asha and Middy showed up... I think there was a little AliciaY, but I might be pre-dating her time... Anyway, it was a good group of weird/funny and we just started coming back for more. We birthed the board. Yes, I'm taking credit for loitering and turning AFB into SB.
I started on P&E and one of the first posts I remember being part of was one where Chad and I posted filthy S&M type stuff back and forth to one another. I think it was seriously 3 pages of "do you like that? Do you want some more? Say please."
Chloe took a liking to me and invited me to a secret board called the Purple Cow, which included Ramey and I think Weeza and some other people I don't remember. Possibly Fredalina. Then I mentioned the Purple Cow board on P&E and folks were all "oh my god, that's thuper thecret and you should never udder the words urplepay owcay in here!" (please note my comical use of the word udder).
I believe someone from NEY suggested I drop P&E and post over there, and I went over and began telling surgeon general stories, and a handful of people were all 'oh my god, he's the funniest person ever' and Pink was all 'I don't get his appeal' and then someone suggested making me a hag siggy and there was OUTRAGE at the thought of giving a hag picture to just anyone.
I was also intimidated by AFB, especially since I thought Cali was totally the Regina George of the board, and that I'd never make it into their inner circle. But NEY posts kept leading me to AFB, and while both boards were funny, AFB was less mean, so I was bi-boardal for a bit, until someone offered me my own double-decker toilet, and I moved to AFB immediately.

I think I came here from P&E right when there was that first gtg with (I think?) proud, hezz, maybe asha? Who else? I don't remember where it was. Remember they tried to convince everyone that there was a huge hatey blow-up? Anyone?
And, well, I had a slightly awkward entrance into the bosom photo album.
I don't really have a bff on here, but I could plop down anywhere on a moment's notice with winger or cali and it would be all good.
And I ain't skeered of no one.
