I've been here a little more than a year now so i thought i would make an inventory. What did i expect when i joined? I hoped for some discussions on King, of course and that i cetainly got. I also hoped for some reading tips and that i also got. Thank you for making me discover Margaret Atwood and Robert McCammon (among others)
What i didn't expect was all the funny discussions on topics that was very unrelated to King or reading. It has been a fun experience to learn about other peoples views on many both important and less important issues. It gives one a wider perspective. It also makes one think about your own opinions which is very healthy for the mind.
A totally unexpected result of my joining has been that i eat a lot more chocolate than earlier (Flake, i blame you! You lured me into it!!). But no complaints. It tasted delicious. Also rather unexpected was that everyone i encountered has been so kind, helpful and supporting, especially earlier this spring when i was rather down. I have no earlier experience with Message board but have difficult to imagine such a nice cummunity where people actually care instead of shouting abuse at eachother.
I've made friends here and even if we never meet you are no less friends than the ones i meet in real life so to speak. So the impulse to join was a good one and i hope i will be able to celöebrate many more skmb-anniversarys with you my friends.
