I hang out here because I feel comfortable with all you misfits. I stalk H&M (and rarely post) because I like to watch train wrecks.

But, I'm completely anti-social. Now that I'm aware that this is a clique...I'll have to leave. I have been banished to the netherworld of DU where no one will hear from me again. OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!

-----------

On second thought...fuck that. I like it here. I read a post because of it's humor/interest/compassion/need, etc. I don't look at who the hell is posting. I've responded to several people here that I've never friggin' heard of. This site needs humor and this is the best place to find it. A lot of people on this site need a break from reality. The Lounge isn't a clique, it's a damned beach with those fruity drinks with umbrellas. I just can't find the hot, young guy in the Speedo to bring it to me.
