    Default Where's the magic?

    Hey, what happened to the magic around here? I hear it's gone, guys. Way to screw it up.

    Never fear, I am here to fix everything! Acknowledge me and my act of being here, because it is awesome and perhaps the awesomest day that will ever happen.

    Since I'm pretty sure that we still dont allow welcome back threads here, have this topic.

    Have you ever run into someone from your past that you thought you'd never see again? What was it like? Was it horrible and did you wake up in a strange basement afterwards? Cause that's what happened to me...

    Hey look! A grouchy oldbie! That's almost never happened!

    My friend from primary school facebooked me recently. He got engaged and moved to Canada. O_O

    Haha, I'm not really grouchy, I'm just doing that to torment Shlup. I'm actually less grouchy than before... xD

    Canada is an awesome choice of moving to locale! I wish to relocate to Canada someday, if only to further piss off Shlup. I consider it a good career move.

    This should be a thread about pissing off Shlup, IMHO. And I want to live in Canada too.

    Shlup threatened to neck chop anyone who called it "the magic".

    I can see only one course of action. Filter "Shlup" to "The Magic".

    It happened just yesterday when I served someone I went to school with in Argos. Didn't recognise me at all. They weren't a close friend or anything, but it was a bit odd. Still, was four years ago!

    I miss the days of old (2000-2003-ish) when things were bright and funky, when the likes of Citizen Bleys, Wyllius, Chaos, Mikztsu, Britt, Asorie and Cid (Sean) were here ... ah, the memories. The sweet, crotch smelling memories ...

    uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"

    Is this going to be one of those threads where the oldbies whine about the past, regulars nod along and try to redirect the conversation and newbies get so demoralized that they leave the forum forever?

    Hey, TheAbominatrix! There's a member that haven't been around for a while. Welcome back!

    Anyway, lots of blasts of the past have been had on Facebook. Finding out that people my age are getting pregnant and such is kinda freaky.

    All that's left is to kick out some newbies. This thread should be about kicking out newbies, IMHO.

    Wait, I just redirected conversation and yet I'd still be called a newbie...
    Does this make me some sort of Regular/Newbie hybrid?

    The newbies have their own forum now. And they should stay there!

    I didn't just threaten it, I declared it a rule. As soon as I saw this thread topic I got my hand in chopping-position, and now to see my bestie made the thread? I should just ban her.

    In other news, I actually did see someone the night before last. BJ and I went to Wal Mart, and saw Crystal V*rgas (in case she Googles herself and finds this--that would be weird). We went to elementary school together, and then she and I were like the only ones from our elementary school to go to Raney junior high, so we were friends out of convenience until about the time I became friends with Abominatrix. Last time I saw her was senior year of high school and she was big-ass pregnant. I think she might have been again when I saw her the other night, or she got really fat.

    I can't sleep, by the way. And BJ's snoring!
