I Caught Myself Doin' This... Do You? I was talking about things, general discussions amongst friends... and brought up some things that I (no doubt) heard through this site...
Anyway... the conversation starts like this... Yeah, a friend told me... or Oh, One of my friends told me that... or I was talking with a friend, and he/she said... Now, that friend I was talking to, or was told by, or who said... is you guys!!! I refer to you guys as my "friends"... the unknown friends I refer to. Nobody has asked me who these other friends are... not sure what I'd say if I was asked... Anyway... I think it's funny. Do you do this? Quote that goes along with this topic... (kinda) "So, are we still friends on Monday, when we're back in school... that is, if were friends now? You want the truth? No." - Molly Ringwald as Claire from The Breakfast Club |

Sometimes, but at this point all of my friends know about the org, so I usually just say, "this guy/girl on the org said. . ."
My husband even knows some of you by screen name, even though he's never used the org. . ."Icenine said. . .Teller said. . .". . . [This message was edited Mon Apr 21 10:58:48 PDT 2003 by tackam] | |

I've done it. "A friend" sounds much less loony than "a person I know on a Prince website". Oh shit, my hat done fell off | |

i repeat and paraphrase threads on here all the time. my friends think it is odd, but if it's a funny enough story, they really don't care Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Lord Acton | |

I do quote things that have been discussed here and I have said my friends or prince fams or the org. I also sent a thread to a friend going through a divorce one of the ones where there was so much comfort given and lists of things to do for an orger with a broken heart.
I am new here but I have always felt I belonged so yeah I consider you guys my friends too We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color. Maya Angelou | |

On a slight tangent, I usually tell my wife I've been looking at porn if she asks me what I've been doing online.
I find this slightly less embarrasing than saying I've been at a Prince Fan website's message boards. Sorry | |

But we're all loony here anyway. | |

I do this too.
Most of the ppl I know don't use forums, so when I chat about threads and posts, I have learnt to explain in ways that they can understand what the fuck I'm talking about! | |
