I have nothing really dramatic to say, and have little in common with most of the more popular members of this board: I almost never do drugs, have never been to a rave, nor am I particularly outgoing in general. I haven't met any BLers in "real life", nor am I going to Amsterdam.
That said, I also admit that since I stumbled across this board pretty much by accident, it has turned out to have the most amazing members, the funniest stories, and the most laid-back feel of any board I've visited. I've learned more about people through this board than through any other (for better or worse), and every PM I get or compliment I'm given sends a little thrill up my spine. Some BLers have helped me with personal problems, or asked about my own.
There are people who go to bars to unwind, to a place "where everybody knows your name", and I come here: where there are always new posts, always new stories, and always something to remind me that I'm more than just a loner who works in a sandwich shop, but that there's a whole other community that (sometimes) listens and who would miss me if I went. To be a member of BL is to be privy to the future of social relations, enacted here and on other boards across the 'Net, and I feel deeply privileged to be a part of it.
Thank you all.
