I stopped liking that name a long time ago, too many people kept thinking I was a counselor at BYU. It is also the last relic of my childish past that I feel I have grown out of for I have changed so much in the last four years. It signifies the end of an era in my life, and the offical beginning of another.

It also means I don't have to write a landmark post for another several hundred posts.

For ever, I have felt like a child, even after graduating for high school, and entering my first year of college, I still felt as if I was 8 --until now-- I no longer feel like a young child thrown into the world, I feel mentally, physically, and emotionally a young adult; of course there are things I miss about being a child, but I now feel that I no longer am one. I live away from my parents, I take care of myself, food clothing, finances I look after completely for myself.

And thusly, at 1984 posts, the year of my birth, BYuCnslr shall post no more, and what I see as the final idealogical break from my old self and the new. It also reinstates my newbie status --though I never stopped feeling like one. That does not mean I no longer am my childish self though, it only means that there is more to me than before, I have taken the child within me and built upon him...hopefully for the better, possibly not. I have the hope and the thought that I am becoming better though, and I believe I am, I shall see as I continue growing.

However, my member number is still lower than the majority of you young'uns, so don't get any ideas. So once again:

Hello Hatrack, my name is Bernard.

I never could quite figure out your nick. Thanks for retiring it [Big Grin]

And congrats on 1984. Best wishes for many more.

Cool, Bernard! [Smile]

Your new nick reminds me of the U.S.S. Suicidal Insanity. Or is it G.S.S.? Oh well, you get the reference. [Smile]

Posted by Zevlag (Member # 1405) on :

B, I like this nick.

Shan, it's all about the sporks! not no bloody spoon!

Posted by Anti-Christ (Member # 5714) on :

B Dawg,

I thought it was the BYU Counselor thing. Have a good day. [Cool]

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

I understand, Bernard.

Now I just hope I can remember it when I see "Insanity Plea" because I had finally got it ingrained in my old brain that BYuCnslr was Bernard.

And I don't remember how long it took me as a newbie to realize that Satyagraha was a salutation of yours, not your name! [Big Grin]

So you might have to remind us now and then, by signing your posts.

Ah, Zev - you don't understand - a group of us played a great game of spoons when he was visiting - it was lotsa fun - especially when I quietly snuck one and people kept throwing cards withiut realizing - I hadn't laughed so hard in a long time. [Big Grin]

Lurker.

Posted by Insanity Plea (Member # 2053) on :

Oh goodness...to play that game with sporks would be evil.

Let's do it.

And farmgirl: I very much plan to keep signing my posts, I just hope I can spell it correctly each time, it's so hard to spell things correctly when you're took lazy to look at the screen...or at anything for that matter...you'd think i'd be unlazy enough to open my eyes at least.

OK, can someone explain spoons. I know I played it in college, but for some reason I can't remember it...

Posted by Insanity Plea (Member # 2053) on :

You have any number of people, and that many spoons minus one. And you....heck :: finds link ::

Played it with plastic forks a few months ago with college friends....very bad idea...

(edit to reiterate that it was a very bad idea)

Hehe. We play with shoes and a few less than the number of people there are, and with a five second time after you dive for them with which to wrestle them from other people *grin*.

Posted by Zevlag (Member # 1405) on :

*laughs at Myr*

Sporks would be great ;-)

Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :

Hiya, Bernard. [Wave]

Insanity plea, eh? That's going to take some getting used to. [Razz]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Huh, never played that with spoons -- just shoes, as Myr said. Don't think we allowed wrestling, though. [Wink]

Anyway, the Bernard is dead! Long live the Bernard! [Big Grin]
