I was just thinking about people just don't stick around long enough to really get to know us. And I was thinking about when I first started posting here - nobody really knew me (except Staycee and Chrys, but Chrys only knew me sortof). Anyway, most of you guys were reserved about me for a while - I had to be here, join in, be supportive, discuss poop and fartbars, etc. for a while before I got my badge of acceptance. It seems very few people understand this.
Anyway, I thought you disliked me for the longest time! How weird, huh? It was probably just your twisted sense of humor combined with you not knowing me. Anyway, it proves my point that if someone is cool, sticks around and isn't a douche, they will eventually be a full-fledged STTTC'er, right?
This post is random, but I know you love me now, so it was all worth it.
Re: Bacon (and lurkers)
I lurked here too.
I'm sure I've been side-eyed plenty. And I'm sure I've side-eyed my share of newbs. But, I totally agree with you. It's SO worth it to stick around and play along. There's some amazing people here.
Including, of course, you, Dip, I sure did side-eye you at some point... Which is weird, because I've never been a "regular"... But I spph you now.
Dude- I was literally, I mean literally just thinking of you.
What have you been up to?
I feel ya on the blogs and twitter. I went through a purged a lot of blogs.
And wouldn't you know I followed about ten people in the last two weeks or so that had infertility mentioned in their name or description.
About seven have announced they were pregnant in the last week.
I couldn't believe it.
TTC #1 - May 2010 - IUI #3: BFP
TTC #2 - May 2012 -IUI #2: BFP
I don't remember not liking you. Did I ever say or do something that would have made you think that?
Regardless... I lurve you now.
I feel the need for the group hug photo right now.
you all.

::approaches podium::
Hi. I figured I should take this opportunity to introduce myself. I've been lurking for a while, not specifically this board, but was sucked in by the snark - I like it.
I'm 33, newly married, I have a 5 year old Vizsla that I love to death, and yes I dress him up for Halloween. Also Christmas. And St Pattys day. I may have a problem.
I like white wine, margaritas, cookies, and skim milk. Also big on my list are carbs, pizza, reading, and cake. Hmm. Maybe I should make exercising a priority. Nah.
Anyways, I mostly lurk, but sometimes reply and didn't want to be the douchebag in the corner who butts in and doesn't introduce herself first.
So, Hi.
