God, I MISSED you!

[Sugar Smack]

So it's been what, eight months or so? Some ridiculous amount of time that I couldn't/didn't/wasn't able to post. And I have really been missing you.I feel like I'm back at home or something. To be away really agitated me; you should see it: I had this fairly nice rosy-tan complexion before. I looked at myself recently. GRAY. So I started lurking here on Dad's new computer, checked my reflection again and WHAM! good as new.

So here's what happened. My computer had caught a REALLY CHARMING MEDLEY of impenetrable viruses, and thereafter I had no internet access. I'd thought the first week, well, maybe it's a sign I just need a break. But not for THIS damned long. I'm back now for good.

So please be gentle with me!

:loveya: :hi: :hug: ;-) :bounce: :toast:

[Sugar Smack]

34. You're the damn best.

You're right too; being online regularly is really a whole 'nother ballgame. I may have to just do it on weekends at THIS point, but I'm working on getting the damn thing fixed.

:yourock: I luv you too.

[plcdude]

:loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

18. Aw, honey. Don't ever change, hey?

I never could forget your dynamite drawing. I really am envious at your ability to draw hair, REALLY envious. It's a sentiment I can't share with a lot of people.

:loveya: back!

[Guava Jelly]

5. It is so nice to see you around again

Place has been quiet without you :D :hi:

[Sugar Smack]

23. Quiet, eh? Somehow I can't believe it. Anyway, I'll come add

[Sugar Smack]

You've always made the lounge a sweeter place. Hey, I feel like I'm getting back into the swing of actual posting. After like 8 months.

:bounce:

[ThomCat]

51. You just made my day.

:blush:

I'm very glad you're back. :hug:
The lounge is not the same without you.

[matcom]

13. YAY!

aside from that, not much new

:hug:

[Sugar Smack]

38. You really DON'T have me on ignore! You really don't!

:bounce: YYYEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!

Hey, could you hook me up with some of that tonic? Wow, that would be stellar. And maybe I can tell you some more good bridezilla stories. How's that grab you?

You gotta watch them thar viruses. If you quit downloading all that pr0n, it's not a problem anymore. ;-)

[Sugar Smack]

52. YOU!!

I missed you when you left for a while, boyo. Hey, when are you going to take that journal to the shop to get it fixed?? Heh heh heh! Are you also back for good? Please tell me you are!

Man, I really hope good things are happening for you or are about to happen for you. When I met you, I got a really good feeling about you instantly. Thank you much for the welcome back, my dear.

:hug: backatcha.

[GOPisEvil]

59. Some good things indeed.

Life is pretty darn good.

I got a good feeling about you, too. You're one of the good ones, and I hope things are really good for you, too. You were gone WAY too long.

[Call Me Wesley]

27. .

:hug:

And don't forget to install some firewall and virus scan! Glad to see you!

[Sugar Smack]

57. Glad to see you too, my good man.

Thank you for that. You know, the antivirus software HADN'T BEEN UPDATED. I mean, I hadn't updated the software, of course. I just really jumped in with both feet, and foolishly.

May I ask, what is "KTHX BAI"?



:hug:

[Call Me Wesley]

62. There has been a decrease in viruses.

Nothing anymore that really harms your computer lately, but an increase in spy ware, since it's more efficient/profitable. Just get a free virus scanner/firewall.

KTHX BAI, as far as I know is Lolcat talk and means 'Okay, thanks, bye.' Just google 'Lolcats', it's the new hype all around. ;)

How's your art doing? :hug:

[LSK]

30. Welcome back!!!!

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

:hi:

[Sugar Smack]

33. SICKO.

:rofl:

I DESERVED IT. I DID. I DID.
