[QUOTE]I wish there was a pill that we could take to get rid of all of the traumatic memories we have from high school. I didn't have that many real friends either in high school. It makes me self concious today to think that even in college, I didn't come out with that many. I'll have about 2-3 sorority sisters at my wedding, if they come. It really wasn't until after college that I made real friends. I see FI and his high school buddies and wish I could have a group of friends who have known me forever. I have to tell myself you can't compare though, because girls are an entirely different breed than guys. There's a reason why dogs run in packs and cats are ok chillin by themselves! :)

I'm in this boat. I have a small group of friends from college who are mostly FI's friends, but for the most part, I didn't really start making close friendships until graduate school. It's taken me this long to really figure myself out.

As far as making friends goes, I have a few people I consider close friends, but I'm always convinced that I like them more than they like me.

Hiiiiiii!  There's not much to say about SB - some people just didn't care for the environment here anymore, so they started to post frequently on SB since the AFSB crowd left for TheNest after the format change.  Some people got annoyed with those who were cross-posting, especially if they were saying how annoying the other board was (this went on in both directions).   Some people are still beating that horse, but it's mostly been left alone the past week or two

ETA:  My summary is nowhere near as hilarious as TJ's, but you've been around long enough to probably fill in the blanks regarding the level of drama.

Here is my confession of the day. Pardon the TMI.

Good news - I started pre-natal vitamins yesterday! I finish my last BC pack on Saturday, and hopefuly they will be out of my system in time for the wedding, when we will start TTC. We are 37, so we need to get going before the train leaves the station.

Bad news - Four years ago, I had a uterine fibroid removed. It was a nightmare. Imagine your worst period, multiply it by a hundred, then imagine it lasting for SIX months. It finally went away after surgery and high dose BC, and I thought all was well. Fast forward to now. I started my last pack of BC three weeks ago and was getting excited to stop it, start pre-natals, and get going. Guess what is back! I saw my GYN and have an ultrasound scheduled for the 12th. I am so scared that she won't be able to get it in control before the wedding. When I say it is bad, I mean that I go through super tampons +several liners in 2 hours. I can't even imagine what my wedding day will be like.

Sorry if this is TMI. I am just so frustrated at this point.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: KPP's? : I knew a girl in high school who felt that she'd only be pretty if she "fixed" her crooked nose.  She got a nose job when we were sixteen.  And she was pretty afterward, but she really looked almost too perfect, almost Barbie-like.  Sometimes our "flaws" are really what make us unique, as cliche as that sounds.

Ladies, ladies. Don't you all understand how important it is that we make a genuine effort to preserve the oral history of our beloved message board?

HONESTLY.

Please stand by for a lengthy wall of text historical speech.

Ahem.

The Great Migration was a tumultous time in the history of (P&)E. The origins of The Great Migration are lost in the mists of time, but with careful study of archival materials and the delicate excavation of message board artificats, we have pieced together a reasonable approximation of what we think may have happened.

See, Amoro, back in the day, people made a habit of board hopping and it was no big deal, for The Knot contains a large collection of message boards, all of which are public and seemingly open to everyone. Suprisingly, we would come to find out that this was not the case!

Some posters, specific names being unimportant, and besides, I don't actually know who because I wasn't paying attention when all this started, made a habit of posting on both E and SB. Over time, they made their way over to posting almost exclusively on SB, finding it to be more to their tastes. This would not be a big deal, of course, if we could all ever act like GD adults, but as we well know, that is never the case.

Some E reg made a stink of some sort about how they "missed" those who had moved to SB, causing the people from SB to come over, all in a huff, about how it was just a couple of clicks away and ugh, who cares. Some E regs got behind the stink-maker, while the normal people rolled their eyes because who the hell CARES, but it only got more ridiculous from there.

More and more E regs started to make a habit of posting exclusively on SB, while some continue to go back and forth because, of course, - public message boards! You can go back and forth if you want! Some people, however, chose to dig their heels in. On both sides! And lo, thus began the Great Butthurtery of 2010.

Some SB posters went down in history proclaiming that they didn't care who posted where, while other SB posters said that they post on SB to escape E, and have hinted at the idea that they would like to hand pick those E posters who would be "welcomed and accepted" into the SB groups. However, since those who would hint at such a thing either don't have the sack to say OR realize how ridiculous it would be to say WHO is welcome on SB and who should stay on E, they stew silently when one of the "unwanted" dares to post in their new super secret clubhouse.

Also, though the Great Migration happened in response to the pilgrims travelling to new lands in seek of freedom from message board oppression, the denizens of SB continued to operate their board much the same way as the land from whence they came was operated, trotting out the same old trite "snark" and clever, pat wedding party lines, all while patting themselves on the back for being free from the tyrranous E!!

While some of the more sane figureheads of history maintained the ability to travel between the two boards freely while others just didn't give a fuuck, it mostly became the most ridiculous, childish, "you can't play in my yard," "No, we're the cool kids, not you!," dumbass filled battle that all wars eventually end up being, except with the added feature of each "side" claiming to be "above" the whole thing.

And that is the story of the Great Migration.
