Sam, Tuppy, Jack, NX-47 and all others, thanks for the welcome!
Jeremy, you have a very nice site here! Looks great, the design is awesome!
Ok, so I have made it to this site in 2007 still, at least ... I have been considering checking it out for quite a while, but somehow didn't find the time to do it (or actually, I had time, but somehow forgot about it time and again). I'll give you feedback on your Reborn scripts as soon as I've read some of them!
Where the heck I've been ... well guess what? I actually have a life now! Or at least, kind of. I'm on college since april this year (political science) and have quite a lot to do, reading, writing papers and so on, and of course partying with all the cool new people I met there. I've been dating like a crazy bonobo on speed as well. So the days of doing nothing but lurking around in pyjama, posting online, are over ...
But even if I won't be online as often as I used to, I guess I'll find time enough to stick my head into this place at least once in a while.
And hey, Jer, I know you have a weakness for guys with goatee, so I figured I could as well chose a pic of myself as avatar on this site. 
So, I wish you guys a nice new year's eve, have fun partying, I hope you'll find your livers working sufficiently, don't blow yourselves up and all the best wishes for 2025! 
See you around!

My liver is up for renewal. Not sure it'll come through, though.
Welcome again, make yourself at home, and pop by every now and then, dood!!

Thanx. I've always wondered about the 'design' and stuff; if it's 'right' and what not. I really have no idea what is good or bad (in that 'inside baseball' way) to web-designers and such. While I certainly have opinions on which sites I think look/work 'good', if you asked me what I liked about them, I doubt I could explain it.

I do? 
The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my
skin. But as the embers of the summer lost their breath
and disappeared, my heart went cold, and only hollow
rhythms resounded from within.

My perspective isn't any different, neither have I profound knowledge of webdesigning ... but as a common user, I have to say this site really does look great! Red and gray text on black background, a simple font and the fine lines of the tablets are nice to look at ... and the icons for the forum links look rather good as well.
I do?
Wasn't this a topic on Trekweb some months ago? Anyway, we goatee-people must stick together, against discrimination and misguided tastes!

I know what you're talking about ... I'm still totally radiated from the party yesterday ... was rather nice, my cousin and I went to a house party at a friend of a friend, after we had walked around in the city for a while, at Brandenburg Gate. Unfortunately, I was too wasted to find out who the host was, and to give him the bottle of vodka which was supposed to be the present ... I realized that when I found it in my bag this morning. But the food was nice there, and I don't think we spoiled anything, since there were 50 or 60 people around. Anyhow we managed to get back home, though. Don't ask me how (IIRC, we took a taxi).
I could really use a liver exchange now ... good the liver doesn't have any pain points, and as the saying goes, it grows with its challenges. So everything should be allright.

I actually worked the bar on New Year's. It was quite fun cause the atmosphere was better than usual (I'm usually not allowed to work the bar cause I throw out all the rude customers and thus about half the trade). I think it also helped that I was allowed as much to drink as I wanted while I was working and after.

Sounds good. You mean the quality of your work increased, after the trembling because of alcohol withdrawal had vanished?
How are you doing, by the way? You sent me a contact request on Trekweb but didn't reply. Has the world been good to you in the past months? Anyway, all my best wishes for 2025!

Yeah, I'm pretty good thanks. Sleep issues have gotten me in trouble in one of my courses but other than that I've nothing to complain about.
And you?

I'm fine, thanks.
By the way, you were right about my girlfriend. In september, she all of a sudden broke up with me because she wanted back to her ex, with whom she had been for 3 years and who is the father of her daughter ... but she left him as well again after not even two weeks, only in order to get a whole new guy the next week. Would be nice for a change to meet a girl who actually knows what she wants.
But that's ok. My life is good, I enjoy college very much this semester.

That's cool. Though I'm going to have to apologise because I can't actually remember what I said back then  . I just hope I wasn't being rude without realising it.

Don't worry, you weren't rude at all. Just a bit pessimistic ... when I told you it's all nice and fine between her and me, and that I believe it's really something serious this time, you said something like it's easy to feel that way after 6 weeks only, the real problems usually come up later. Or something like that... I don't remember exactly.
And apart from that, I'm not a person who considers directness to be rude... at least most of the time, when it's delivered in a cloak of friendly, tiddly fraternization.
Hey, if you ever feel like spending some days in Berlin again, just let me know! When I don't have other guests at that time, or am drowning in work, you can always drop by for pub-crawling or something.

Ah, ok. Yeah, I'd just come out of a relationship that started that way too

That's good, since I have a tendency to break some unwritten social rules without realising.

Careful now, I might just take you up on that! I really liked Berlin; it was like Britain only cleaner and more efficient and with more civil liberties - and everyone spoke German.
