Like a bad penny.. by JulyFlame on 2014-07-22 01:33:00 UTC Reply

I do seem to have a bad habit of being hard to get rid of.

Hallo, all.

Can't say I'll be a frequent poster again- I hardly recognize most of you!- but I'm going to likely be visible at least sometimes.

For those of you who have no idea who I am:

Hi, I'm July, I'm an oldbie (but not quite as an oldie as some) I accidentally things as a force of habit, and I also have a fair large spinoff of my own (sitting in the attic waiting to be fully edited and put up again on a website).

I am old, slightly crotchety, and prone to hitting things with sticks, since I am no longer allowed to bite. (I can't remember who said to stop biting, but I think they're still around and you can thus thank them.)

So, how's tricks?

You're nice and toasty. *warms hands over her favourite JulyFlame*

Hi, July! Nice to see you again.

I think quite a few of us drop in now and then, no need to post obsessively, right? I'm not near as active now as I used to be, but I still check in and I still read the new missions that come out.

Thanks! by JulyFlame on 2014-07-26 04:05:00 UTC Reply

Same to you, m'dear!

Obsession is a thing for thinging by people with things. I don't think many people are, to be fair, though it's excellent you're still keeping up with everything.

Welcome, tired internet traveller! Glad to see you back here again, even if it's going to be infrequently.

PC! by JulyFlame on 2014-07-26 03:53:00 UTC Reply

Thanks! I can't say how infrequently it will be, to be fair, but don't expect much of me around here given time constraints.

Since Sea Turtle already mentioned it, I'll give you a cup of tea with killer leaves, as is my custom.
-Also offers jam and scones-
How have you been?

Thank you! by JulyFlame on 2014-07-26 03:33:00 UTC Reply

Mm, tea.

Pretty good! I've been able to sleep more than five hours a night for just over a month now! I feel like a person again!

Yer naught but a freshling newbie. Ya don't get to call y'sel an 'oldbie' unless you can remember the days when the very foundations of the Board - nay, of reality itself - were laid, in blood and fire and the bones of those who fought and died for wait I beg your pardon I'm thinking of something else.

Hi again!

Stop your jawing, old man! by JulyFlame on 2014-07-26 03:27:00 UTC Reply

I'm surprised that your age has not bestowed senility upon you- wait, it probably did, since you're getting things mucked up. Dementia is a terrible thing.

Nice to see you again, too! Any new and interesting things going on in your domain?

Yay! by doctorlit on 2014-07-22 05:36:00 UTC Reply

I'm glad to see you back and safe! Welcome home!

Hey! by JulyFlame on 2014-07-26 03:22:00 UTC Reply

Thanks! Nice to see you again as well! What's up, Doc?

Weeeeeell . . . by doctorlit on 2014-07-26 14:34:00 UTC Reply

I moved out of my parents' house into my own condo, and I'm still not a zookeeper . . .

And lately, ekyl and I have been reading through the old PPC LiveJournals and trying to flesh out the articles on some of the older characters! Which is pretty fun, but also gets kind of insane sometimes. They were pretty loose with what happened back then. (Did you know Talia and Black's kid got married to Teena's author? '~' )

So what about you? How did your tour go?

Ohey! by 99Hedgehog on 2014-07-22 04:05:00 UTC Reply

Good to see you July.

I actually haven't been around in a while myself.

Good to see you around again! (Extra! Extra! Local Man Uses Way! Too! Many! Exclamation Points in One Post!)

Gasp! Exclamation point abuse! by JulyFlame on 2014-07-26 03:18:00 UTC Reply

Someone, call the DTE!

(Or possibly not; this is possibly an abuse of resources.)

Welcome back! by Iximaz on 2014-07-22 03:16:00 UTC Reply

PoorCynic had another writing workshop. I put up another mission. There were some new additions... So nothing out of the ordinary! *hugs* Glad to see you back!

Thanks muchly! by JulyFlame on 2014-07-26 03:10:00 UTC Reply

Glad to hear that; PC tends to know his stuff when it comes to writing- unless I've wandered into an alternate dimension (which is wont to happen at times).

Hello, hello! by SeaTurtle on 2014-07-22 02:07:00 UTC Reply

Glad to see you're still active!

It's been pretty normal here on the Board: ~~some~~ lots of newbies, a few new stories, Agent Gall and her dragon are having their names changed, I animated an episode of my (Un)Intelligence spinoff, and Desdendelle is still handing out killer tea leaves to everyone.

If I recall correctly, your last visit was in March and you were joining the Navy or summat. How did it go?

Hallo hallo back to you! by JulyFlame on 2014-07-26 03:09:00 UTC Reply

Oooh, I'm going to have to check that out when I have the chance and some solid internet to use.

And yes, you're correct; I joined up and successfully survived boot camp and the resultant sleep deprivation!

It turns out that while I thought Agent July just a caricature and exaggeration it's unfortunately (or perhaps hilariously?) rather on the mark when I've survived on roughly four hours of sleep a night for weeks and/or have had no sleep for thirty plus hours. Funny how things work!
