Tally, THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!!!!!!!

[Tally M.]

?

[Squirrel]

that kid on the trike in the Incredibles. When something awesome happens he says "That was totally wicked!"

.........

anyway, today's Board post was super awesome. That's what I meant to say.

[Tally M.]

Ah, the second part is what I didn't get.

[Squirrel]

? you lost me.

[Tally M.]

Never mind.

Point being--A writer is in my class, probably my linguistics class...and knows I'm looking for werf.

Tally! You can be Board Stalker, part V. I believe Katya was first. Then Tangerine. Then chillygator. Then me. And now Tally! Congratulations!

[Tally M.]

Yay! Maybe that can be my title! #dontactuallycareaboutthosethings

I need more information...And a class list. My linguistics class doesn't have a list of people available.

[Tally M.]

Now, if I knew who the Board writer was...maybe the Board writer would like to study with me for our upcoming test...(which covers like, four of my classes, not just my linguistics class).

I just decided: I bet that there's not even a writer in your classes. They just said that to screw with you.

[UffishThought]

That's what I would have done.

What's up with writers being mean to newbies? Really, guys?

[Portia]

Don't take it personally. It's all in good fun.

[Giovanni Schwartz]

Well, I just have to say 1) How would they have known that she was Tally M.? I mean, they don't exactly stalk your anonymity.

[Tally M.]

I have a theory how they would know =P And trust me, it's a fairly decent theory.

[UffishThought]

How is it mean? If Tally's enjoying the possibility that he may have met a writer without realizing it, what's the harm in making his classes more pleasant by letting him daydream about which class and which person it may be? Especially if it might be true, since I don't know who he is either?

Of course, if the writer DOES know Tally (and the fact that the answer was extra-anonymous might support that theory,) then there's an even greater chance it's true.

[awkward internet moment]Tally = female.[/awkward internet moment]

[Zedability]

I'm just going to say I knew who Tally M. was long before the rest of the writers And I'm not going to tell you how I found out, either

[UffishThought]

Oh, oops. Sorry about that.
