For Those Who Died Today... Happy Deathday! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Brinniel · 06-06-2008, 02:22 PM

Yes! For the first time ever I've managed to catch my deathday on time. Every year I think about it, then forget until too late. It might be partly because I keep thinking I joined on the 7th, not the 6th...though I'm not sure why I think that...

Anways, it's been six years since I first joined the Downs. I may not have been here for every one of those years, but still six years is a long time in the internet world.

Happy deathday Brinniel, let's hope you stick around for awhile!

Happy (belated already, in my timezone at least) deathday, Brinn! Indeed, it's quite a celebration-worthy, the length of your presence here at the Downs - I recently wondered that you are around for so long! And have good your next six years at the Downs

Hey happy deathday Brinn! Six whole years, that's pretty impressive. Next test is the 10 year mark.

Belated congrats, Brinn!

It's so wonderful to have you here with us.

Happy (belated) deathday to Brinn!

Great to have you here.

Thanks guys.

You know, I often find myself reading a thread and when something or terribly clever comes up I'll start laughing and say to myself, "Oh how I love these guys." It's really the people here that makes the Downs so wonderful...I've never seen any other forum like it and so well bonded. Anyways, I really do love the Downs (I don't know how I went almost two years without it) and I can't imagine leaving again anytime soon (and if I ever did disappear for some odd reason, I'm bound to return).

In fact, I can see myself at 30 still haunting the Downs. That'd be way cool actually...because then I could say, "Today is my 16th Deathday."
