Next, if you’re so minded, stop by Who’s Here (see the menu at the top of your screen) and announce your arrival in a comment there, so we’ll be sure to add you to the official list.

          That would make you my maybe-future stepdad-in-law? Or brother-in-law? And JLynn would be my stepmother-in-law or sister-in-law-removed-n-times and then–the plot thickens! (More like, the family complicatens! something like that.)

            Justice and I aren’t married yet. She’s got a ton of other online stuff to do, so she’s not going to be here very much, if ever, much to my sadness. The point is, if she comes back we’ll get blogmarried but in the meantime Castle is willing to marry any of his adoring fans :roll:

        I would have adopted you by now if I could find the caking thread in which to do so. I can’t, though, because I’ve forgotten what it’s called and my brain has gone all to mush.


        There once was a Muser named Castle
        To him finding threads was a hassle
        So he shut down his brain
        And he plugged it back in
        Now it’s running a tiny bit faster.

              Two…YEARS? I went back through the archives and thought one year was too much. I was searching for the keywords “family” “adopt” and “genealogy” because I couldn’t for the life of me remember the name of the thread. Thank you.

              • Oh, two years is nothing here. Some MuseBloggers have spent a third of their lives in this place.

                You ought to try delving into early MuseBlogology. There’s some very entertaining stuff down in the Cambrian and Ordovician strata.

                  I showed up late 2007, and I’m 14 and a half now…so that would mean I’ve been here for a little under a third of my life. If I did the math right. Which I’m sure I didn’t, because I’m running on sunflower seeds and 15 hours of sleep total this week.

                  And the reason I was a little concerned that it had been two years was because I thought it had been abandoned months ago when in fact the most recent post there was in January. I panicked a little at the thought that 8 months had just gone by in what felt like two.

    Woah woah woah hai
    I just kind of left that there, didn’t I? XD
    The name’s not really a reference to anything, I just like making interesting sounding names, and characters to go along with them. Although Selcothe is a little polished sort of variation on the word “selcouth”, and Sicaria is a word for a female assassin. Not exactly politically correct, but it sounds cool.
    And thank you for the welcomings and the pies :D

      And after a brief internet search, I find that selcothe actually was a variation of the word in older versions of English, but isn’t used anymore. Welp, guess you learn something new every day.

      Hello! I joined MuseBlog long after you came, but you know me from the Cricket ChatterBox. I’m Ima. My avatar’s a tardigrade, by the way.
      I don’t know whether or not you were here when Ducky came, since that was years before me, but I’ve only seen your posts here on really old threads? She’s Cara. ZNZ’s here, too, but she didn’t change her name. Anyway, welcome, it’s nice to see you here!

          You know, I never thought I’d see the day when a MuseBlogger expressed honest nostalgia for the “good old days of the Chatterbox”.

          It’s funny how time changes perspective. The Chatterbox and its accompanying influx of newbies didn’t turn out to be the doom of us, after all.

              The average age on the ChatterBox has definitely increased, though, and maturity with it. (Age did decreased a bit afterward, but most people there are still older than when you posted frequently). It goes through phases just like MuseBlog has done. ZNZ and I still go there quite frequently, and TNO posts as well, although she is the oldest person there. The average age is still much younger than the average MuseBlogger’s age, but no-one there now is younger than any MuseBlogger from the past year (and maybe a half).
