rather than virtual friends?
How long do you have to be on MN to be a "friend"? Do you all know each other really? Does it matter to you? Does it make you not post on some threads as you feel you are gate crashing a clique? Does me.

Lots of my fave MNers on this thread... But then, I know everyone because I am a serial thread lurker (mwahahahaha). I do post every now and then. Sometimes my name gets shortened and then I feel all warm and fuzzy, as if I belong...

Delusional is good. It makes me feel happy!

scottishmummy · 21/09/2009 21:57

all we need is some junior missy marple to shout troll or are you newbie

ZZZenAgain · 21/09/2009 21:58

ooh are you coyly approaching me shiney?

so coyly I didn't at first see it!

Shall we be friends too? Are you not my friend already? (stamps foot, rethinks and waves cheerily)

be thankful you aren't recognised as an enemy, and that you may float in the ether of Mumsnet, without ever being concerned that your latest post has drawn poison from the veins of Mumsnet and it is flowing freely in your direction and following you from thread to thread.

katie morosky is a character in this boo

or this band

ring any bells?

slinks off back into MN anonymity

SecretNinjaChipmunk · 21/09/2009 21:59

geo you're right, having your name shortened does make you feel all fuzzy inside.

Doesn't it just, Ninja...

fruitshootsandheaves · 21/09/2009 22:03

I am interested in this thread but am too lazy to read it all. Could someone simplify the coversation in approx 8 words or less so I can catch up please.

scottishmummy · 21/09/2009 22:06

are y'all cliquey?yes/no can i join?

ZZZenAgain · 21/09/2009 22:08

just washed off the face-mask and had a (scarey) look at my face under a powerful light - chekcing for facial fuzz (...and finding it). I think that is the Morosky effect. Don't think it will extend to baking a loaf of bread really.

Good detective work there oom, never heard of the book or the band before. Still don't know who Morosky used to be.

ZZZenAgain · 21/09/2009 22:09

not sure she has the oomph to join the quiche really scottishmummy, what do you think? Is she in girls?

Geo? Ninja?

fruitshootsandheaves · 21/09/2009 22:10

excellent, thats cleared that up then thankyou ...I was all confused by the penguin quiche that I glimpsed whilst scrolling down

Geocentric · 21/09/2009 22:11

Oooh, do I get a say????

SecretNinjaChipmunk · 21/09/2009 22:13

i say let her join the quiche if she'll be mates with purplepeony. where is purple by the way, not been on the thread for a bit, maybe she has a life outside mn?

scottishmummy · 21/09/2009 22:14

who wants to be in a clique that wants you?fuck that

ZZZenAgain · 21/09/2009 22:16

so we say we don't want her in, so she wants to be in it, although in fact we do want her in it?

Is that the plan of action?

Geocentric · 21/09/2009 22:17

sooooo confused...

SecretNinjaChipmunk · 21/09/2009 22:18

i'm afraid i've lost the plot on that one

scottishmummy · 21/09/2009 22:18

or form a members only forum and invite participants.

and deny access to others in star chamber style
don the bouncers jacket and say "nah not you love"

ZZZenAgain · 21/09/2009 22:18

or maybe if you (unwarily) post on this thread you are in

and can no longer get out

you are in the Friends of Purplepeony (FOPP). You are a foppy.

ZZZenAgain · 21/09/2009 22:19

geo and ninja, you two are just not drinking enough
