Well, I've finally done it. Taken that step to become a poster rather than the lurker I've been the last 7 or 8 years.
BtVS was my gateway into compulsive lurkerdom. I started by finding
The Bronze: Beta and it became appointment reading after each episode. I posted a few times, but between being very shy and very anxious it did not happen often. Of course, there was also the fact that many people could say what I was thinking way more comprehensively and eloquently than I ever could.
I next found
Buffistas and the intelligent conversation and fun of the watch and post made this my new place to go after the episodes. Soon I was reading all the threads. I really wanted to join in the conversation and registered (shyone2051) although I never posted because I was scared that my writing abilities would not be good enough.So I continued to read along, each day being a new chapter in an endless book for me. Somewhere along the line I found I cared what happened to these people. I smiled, laughed, I cried, I cheered, I prayed, I found people with similar interests.
Then I felt ashamed because I finally realized you are real people and I've been secretly watching from afar and never speaking up or even letting myself be known. I am sorry for this. I've tried to find a way to post the last few months, but I've always managed to hit something other than the post button. I started a new med recently that has really helped me and now is the time to join in the fun.
