My orginal goal when I started to post here on DU.

Only took me over 2 years to get here.

1. Good job, :)

You are almost there....how did you find/come across DU anyways?

[texanwitch]

I think I found it from Randi Rhodes board.

Or it might have been Mike Malloy's.

3. Oh, :)

what poster jumped out at you when you first got here? Was there a poster who impressed you, or ? For me, Plaid Addler impressed me greatly.

5. I started on GD, and I was lurker.

It is hard to start posting at first.

I saw all the huge number of posts other people had and thought I would never get that many.

I didn't start to post until Heidi's nighthawk crew, and Mike Malloy's nightly show.

6. Sounds good, :)

I basically started in GD myself...I liked the homepage, and the new/improved Lastest Thread started page...came to the Lounge about 7-8 months running the gauntlet in GD....:D

7. Thank you.

I spent the day outside.

I needed a little quiet time.

We have a full moon tonight.

8. The moon is simply gorgeous tonight

It is, quite simply, my favourite time of the month - the full moon.

I feel such a connection with it. Love, love, love the moon. :-)

9. I was outside for awhile looking at the moon.

A winter moon looks bigger to me.

12. The harvest moon here

looks the biggest, in the autumn. Winter is pretty close in size.

I can't see her anymore, but I, too, felt mesmerized by her charms tonight.


I love this poem:



Moonlight


As a pale phantom with a lamp
Ascends some ruined haunted stair,
So glides the moon along the damp
Mysterious chambers of the air.

Now hidden in cloud, and now revealed,
As if this phantom, full of pain,
Were by the crumbling walls concealed,
And at the windows seen again.

Until at last, serene and proud
In all the splendour of her light,
She walks the terraces of cloud,
Supreme as Empress of the Night.

I look, but recognize no more
Objects familiar to my view;
The very pathway to my door
Is an enchanted avenue.

All things are changed. One mass of shade,
The elm-trees drop their curtains down;
By palace, park, and colonnade
I walk as in a foreign town.

The very ground beneath my feet
Is clothed with a diviner air;
White marble paves the silent street
And glimmers in the empty square.

Illusion! Underneath there lies
The common life of everyday;
Only the spirit glorifies
With its own tints the sober grey.

In vain we look, in vain uplift
Our eyes to heaven, if we are blind;
We see but what we have the gift
Of seeing; what we bring we find.


By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I held back going on the internet for a long time.

I knew it would happen.
