I don't know if anyone remembers my thudding first entry into the chat rooms here...but I think I said something along the lines of "good lord, I've been here 5 minutes and no-one's asl'ed me....is it always like this and if so please please please can I stay?!?"

Can't stand being asl'ed. Although, since finding this lovely haven....I've discovered I don't mind so much. After all, if every time "another sodding loser" comes into the room they so conveniently identify themselves as such...it saves me the time of finding out I don't want to talk to them the hard way.
