Overdue Introduction

Okay... so... I've been on this site forever but aside from a few scoring and random blog posts here and there, I've been pretty quiet. When I first joined, it wasn't even that much of a community... at least I don't think.

Anyway, one day I woke up and thought to myself, "Ya know... you could be friends with some pretty awesome people by now if you'd been more involved over the past five years (Okay, so five years isn't really forever, but it kinda feels like it so shoosh.)

So, here I am. Finally stepping up (to the plate), out (of my solitude), and in to the community that is Threadless.

I've never done graphic design and I have yet to tread the (intimidating) waters of t-shirt design, but my second major undergrad was art and it's something that's always been a pretty big part of my life in one way or another.

If you've read all this so far, I thank you for sticking with me. I know I can ramble on and on sometimes. So, with that said...

I look forward to meeting and getting to know you all. Don't be strangers... I'm nice and I like company. :-D

Oooh! People actually left me comments! Yay! And thank you!! :)

Haha... yea, Paola. I love that design so much I had to get it again on a girly t.

I guess you're right, elwood, but I haven't been a very good community member.

kevinwells on Jul 18 '07 at 3:10am

well hello there!

hmmm, *skims through your list of shirts* 24 shirts in 5 years.. you clearly have a hell of a lot more restraint than i do. TEACH ME YOUR WAYS! :)

jpiatt on Jul 18 '07 at 3:19am

WOW! You are Old School!
That's amazing that you're just not getting into the community. That's really cool. You should post your AIM name in your profile and chat to us retards occasionally. I demand more blogs from you too. You're like a Threadless historian.

goldensara on Jul 18 '07 at 3:31am

whoa you kinda have been around forever...I've been here a year and I cant remember a world without threadless..well I can...I just dont know what I was doing

da Face on Jul 18 '07 at 3:35am

Whoaho 5 years and I thought my three months was an accomplishment. Welcome to the community though.

rain and reverie on Jul 18 '07 at 3:44am

hi and welcome! I'm Laura.
I'm pretty quiet here also, but i can't remember a world without threadless.(it's been only about a year for me)
Five years is a looooong time, you should've scored a million subs by this time..

taz-pie on Jul 18 '07 at 3:45am

tobasco on Jul 18 '07 at 4:20am

Holy cow! You've been here for ages! That's awesome!

How's things?

What's happening?

Where do you live :)

PorgyNBess on Jul 19 '07 at 2:13pm

Kevin: I'm poor and I only get STPs when I post pictures of my shirts because my friends don't have awesome taste in t-shirts like we all do. (P.S. SUPER jealous of your HQ trip!!!)

Jeremy: Haha... threadless historian... that's awesome. I'll try to post more blogs if you make me a threadless historian badge.

Taz: Yesss... and the undies, hehe. Actually... there's a short story behind that purchase. Not short enough for right now though. Maybe I'll share it sometime. Oh, and thanks! I LOVE cookies!! :-D

Tobasco: Thank you :) I'm quite well... would me more well if I had the money to buy all the stuff in my Threadless shopping cart, haha. sigh. I'm from North Jersey. My sister was just in New Zealand for her spring break. I've never been though. :(

Yo.

Stevethegreat on Jul 19 '07 at 2:14pm

hello-a

Jackanapes mk.II on Jul 19 '07 at 2:15pm

I know I know the name "Porgy and Bess" from somewhere, but can't remember where. It's some sorta cartoon, innit?

PorgyNBess on Jul 19 '07 at 6:06pm

Stef: Yeah... umm... no. But I'll share this cookie with you that Taz gave me. (maybe, haha)

Jackanapes: Porgy & Bess is a 1935 Gershwin opera (based on DuBose Heyward's novel "Porgy"), however, my name is a reference to Louis [Armstrong] and Ella [Fitzgerald]. They collaborated on jazz vocal versions of the opera for their 1957 album. ("Summertime" is one of the most famous songs from the opera.) :-D

Jemae on Jul 19 '07 at 6:14pm

taz-pie on Jul 20 '07 at 2:58am
