I admit-- I'm not the most active member of Shmeng. Probably somewhere
between a lurker and a kindershmengling. At the same point, I've been here,
off and on, for almost 6 years. In that time, I've watched a lot-- and have
come to the conclusion that there are a lot of people I wish I could get to
know better, but haven't really had the opportunity to do so.
So, in the name of a more tight-knit community, not to mention a look
inside a few minds, I propose a new thread (not really a game, but close)
where you post who you would like to get to know better, on or off Shmeng,
and the reason(s) why.
Callei, because she was much, much nicer to me than she needed to be when I
returned to Shmeng after several years and re-made many of my newbie
blunders.
Squid, because I want to know what it's like to live an aquatic lifestyle
with more than the standard number of arms
Sindel, because she very very much reminds me of someone I used to know
well
Rayce, to talk about photography. Her portrait works are beautiful, and I
couldn't do portraits, usually, if my life depended upon it.
I know there are more, but that's what came to mind right now.
So, who do you want to know better?

Bettie_X because she was totally nice to meet up with me and sell me some
of her clothes for not too much money. I wasn't even expecting all of it.
She was so nice and seems really fun and so does her crazy husband. I'd
love to hang out again before I move.
Andree she was really fun to hang out with and she looked great in my wig.
I'd totally want to hang out with her again.
Kira because she is really smart and funny and from her journal entries it
sounds like she knows how to have a pretty good time. I mean, playing in
a field of giant ears of corn has to be fun.
Vampcourt because after reading her LJ for a while I'm starting to get to
know more about her and it makes me curious and I wouldn't mind being her
friend at all. She seems like fun and knows a hell of a lot about make
up.
Starlight seems like a really nice person and I like nice people.
Raina because she disappeared for so long and I am so wanting to catch up
some more.
I wouldn't mind getting to know even more of the shmeng people more. I
already know a few of you already and there is still a lot more to know
about the people I've already met and talked with lots.
I'd also like to get to know myself more. Maybe I can do more of that this
year.

hubby and I can get to Shmengfest this year.

I too have been on and off of Shmeng for a few years now myself and I
always love to meet new people, unfortunately now I can not get online as
much as I would like to....anyhow there are so many people here that I
would like to know better...Just about everyone either cause I am always
looking to meet new people and do new things.So I really can't just list a
few people and explain why I would like to get to know them better

A total beast you were Bettie, now you're just a bitch. J/K. Seriously
though, I am only going to be here for about another 2 weeks. Any chance
of you making your way up here?

devin - correct me if i'm wrong...shmeng hasn't existed for "almost 6
years" has it?
4 years sounds more like it.

well, I was 14 when I started on Shmeng, and I recently turned 20,
so....
Edit: Reaching back in memory, it wasn't Shmeng that I originally found. It
was Vibechild. Then again, I've been discovering that my memory of all
things isn't so good lately.

i would like to get to know better:
feral: because despite the temper he is cool. from what i have read he has
an interesting history, background, etc... he voices his opinion no matter
what it is.
squid: he is a squid, how creative can you get? not only that a persistent
squid.
Raina: she gives off good karma. seems like a nice person.
Rayce: has amazing photography.
meh, prettymuch id like to know everyone but specifically those if i have
to pick. i just like to figure out what makes people tick.

Shmeng proper started in 2001, but I don't know how long Gothic
Enlightenment went before that. So that's four years. I know this because
the big switch from one to the other happened during my first break-up with
my now-husband, and that was spring of 2001.

Shmeng was created in February 2001. People started moving over from
Gothic Enlightenment a few months later. Gothic Enlightenment was online
from 1999 to 2001 - but didn't have forums that whole time, so I don't know
how many people were on it before the forums. Callei is the only one I
know of who was there before the forums.
