h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Wow. I mean, WOW. I've just come from watching the Winmbledon final and, completely blowing my expectations, it was wonderful. For probably the first time ever I wanted Sampras to win, and boy did he ever. He played really, really well.
But it was the end that got me. I already had to fight back tears when Venus Williams won (and this is someone who doesn't even sniffle when Bambi's mum dies) and this time I came even closer. The look on his face, and his parents reactions were so moving, I couldn't help but smile. I'm so glad I tuned in to see the end of the match- it really was unmissable.
In other news- I've just conducted a rather interesting experiment. After having made numerous visits to the homepages of our h2g2 team- Peta, Mark Moxon, Abi, Anna and Jim Lynn for example- I noticed that they all had fairly low researcher numbers. So I decided to travel round the first few homepages.
It was a little depressing, to tell you the truth. While the pages of the aforementioned team were all great, most of the other pages were either abandoned, or had not been activated at all. As I rounded researcher number 30's page (about ready to scream if I saw another blank page), I was feeling a little downhearted.
Then, something occurred to me. I myself am researcher 109641, and I know many others who are higher than that. And it made me realise what a huge thing we're all part of. h2g2's been going, what, just over a year, and we already have so many people taking part. It's quite an achievement.
Not only that, but it got me thinking about all the blank homepages out there. I've been here long enough to know, or at least have heard of the regulars. And I hope I'm considered part of the furniture round here now. But there are people who have registered, and never taken part. Or researchers who have come and gone- I have two rl friends, once regular posters, now they hardly ever show up here.
My point? If I have one, it's that my little jaunt round the early homepages made me realise how special h2g2 is, and how happy I am to be a part of it, small or not. Perhaps this is all a little serious- the point of the site is to have fun- but I'm putting this up to remind me of how great this site really is.

Amen to that Tweetie

Hi all!

Just wanted to say, that if you have something to say, why not say it at:

*hugs GB*
Thanks hon- I'm psyched. Although the hell-ride isn't over yet. Check my journal tomorrow for more details...
Hey, in confidence- I'm glad FC got the Archangel thing, but it would have been great if you could have got it too. I'm entirely sure you'll get it next time

You're kidding, Tweetie!
I was so shocked, to be even nominated!
I have no idea who nominated me, either!
Archangels are supposed to look after the other Angels, aren't they? I can just about look after myself, I am nowhere near experienced enough to be so exaulted...
Thanks though, Tweetie, I'm honoured you think that highly of me.
btw...who's the lucky dad-to-be? hehehe {or would you rather I find out the doctor was a bogus one, who didn't know what he was doing, and you're not really?} It can be done.....hehehe

*grins*
Too late, done it for me
*sighs*
I think I've missed out on a whole bunch of stuff, by letting RL get the better of me over the last couple of days...
If you could come and rescue me from the island, it'd be much appreciated (I'm in the hospital tent...)

bummer.....I was away yesterday & missed this posting
Anyway, I see you made it OK to Survivor - The Aftermath....hehehe

*grins*
I'm there. What was happening yesterday?
