TrooperCam, your icon makes my sigh heavily.
And welcome, everyone! We are expanding by the hour.

Wow! P-Doggy, Troops, you guys made it over - so exciting to see you and a big welcome to everyone who joined yesterday - I didn't get to do alot of greeting (I"m packing to move).
I'm going to send emails or PMs to some of our other absent friends (Filey, Fitzy and most importantly, Equinimity, who was so brutally tossed by TwoP) asking them to join us.

That sounds great, fiddy. I'll let arizonamyrie know - IIRC I've got her contact info.

Hello, all! I've been around the House boards for quite some time. I lurk at the site that shall not be named but never post.
Been a Fry & Laurie fan since I first saw A Bit Thereof.
My Best Friend's brother sent me the EW Promo Disc for the series premier and the rest was downhill from there.
As Mr. C so kindly puts it, "Hon? You're not at all compulsive but MAN are you obsessive...." 8)
Anyhoodle, I am an avid fan of DIYSheep's writing and found this site via her LJ. I immediately boogied over and registered. Whee!
Personal introductory stuff? I flew jets for the USAF for 23 years (retired out of the National Guard) and am an aviation attorney. Have an MA in history and attended undergrad at a really cool Ivy League University that has a really cool Teaching Hospital. :wink:
What I love most about the series "House" is the witty writing and the close attention to detail. I'm a Sherlockian and get a big kick out of catching the references...the obvious and the subtle.
What I love most about the people who comprise the cast and crew is the evident joy they get making the show. So much of what I know (general information) about Laurie has been incorporated into House and that's fun to see. (The music, the t-shirts & jeans, the motorcycle, the athletics after the Ketamine treatment, the rapier sense of humour....I could go on for hours.) Although I am much less certain, I have an idea there is a lot of Robert Sean Leonard in Wilson, too. Jesse Spencer is a wonder to watch perform whether he's front and center in the scene or not...he's always in character and part of the action.
Well, it's certainly nice to be here. I look forward to the conversations!

Ooooh more familiar names *waves to all newbies* Welcome here and hope you all have fun posting.

Welcome Captanne! All we need now is a Marine and we'll have full US military representation. :-)
ETA: I guess I should make that Marines and Coast Guard...
Hail the Random- 08-10-2007
Woo!
We need the people from the DDX thread–they were active a lot.

We're talking about House's spawn in Water's October thread and I thought someone could email Nicki (simple_man) and invetes him to join us. Maybe he'll like to play!
fffaw- 08-10-2007
That would be a great idea! Is anyone here in contact with him on a regular basis or should we just leave a comment on his livejournal?
Hail the Random- 08-10-2007
Well, we have over 40 members, and a good deal of boards. It's time to get more people in.
In other news, once we hit 55 or 60 members, were adding new Mods! So be on your bestest behaviour! :lol:

Hello everyone! This is great seeing all these old names here - it's like joining TWoP all over again, but without the corporate propaganda and whatnot! DIY Sheep! TrooperCam! Hail the Random! And everyone else I remember as well!!!!!!!! Yay!
Well, I'm arizonamyrie at TWoP, and I had gone "missing" from the House boards for awhile. Then, I went back to college to become a nurse practitioner this summer and have been "missing" from TWoP in general. It will be awhile before I'm no longer a student (a good five years probably). Horray for professional students!
I'm definitely looking forward to that DDx thread - is Vijay around for that? What about Silja? And we need to get March301 as well.
Hail the Random- 08-10-2007
Arizona!!!
I PMed Vijay, silja, and March. DDX thread is in the Outhouse.
arizonamyrie- 08-10-2007
Awesome! I can't wait.
How can they moderate the Meet Market over there? Isn't that thread supposed to be "topic free?" That just doesn't make sense.
And, I have errands to run, but if nothing is posted in the DDx thread by this evening, I'll start a case. I'm so happy to see all of you again!
saara_zaara- 08-10-2007
I can let simple_man (Nicky Tai) know. ETA - done!
FYI, we'll be having a small marketing campaign go into effect as of tonight (HTR, I emailed details to 407 as I mentioned in the other thread) with some more formal announcements appearing on a limited basis on some of the comms. We want to make sure we can manage the astounding growth that we're seeing in new members! :waves to everyone:, but in the meantime, its really great that you're all extending personal invites to folks you know through email & pming etc. The fact that we can & do just speaks volumes of what a tightknit & wonderful community this really is ;D
arizonamyrie - so great to see you here!
Captanne- 08-10-2007
Thanks for the kind welcome! Thank you for the welcome!
It really is fun to see all of these familiar screen names (especially of the fanfic writers I enjoy reading so much) even though I'm probably a stranger by name. As I mentioned, I lurk. (Although I have touched base with DIYSheep and Simple_Man "in person" before. Mostly to gush over their amazing talent. Shoop to feed my need for laughter and SM to feed my need for House/Wilson. Yes, I'm one of ~those~ who sees mad, wild chemistry between our two heroes.)
