I found this community at exactly the right time, and it means the world to me.

I started watching Parks in mid season 4. It didn't take long for me to find the fic on this community, but after a while I found myself being a total creeper and just reading the Thursday night threads because you all seemed like awesome people. Eventually a post by saucydiva about community guilted me out of hiding, and I tentatively started interacting with more and more people. It was weird. I didn't have a tumblr at the time, and I've never been especially good at putting myself out there, and I didn't think I had much to offer the community seeing as I'm not a content creator? But I did it anyway ( ... )

Except it's not really a long story, as I guessed exactly where he GOT the single gun right off the bat.

Yes, well, for most people (that's to say, people who haven't spent time in Texas) it might be a long story.

For the curious: Bride of Emily got the gun AS A GIFT FOR BEING IN SOMEONE'S WEDDING, BECAUSE THAT'S A THING THAT PEOPLE DO?! And I told him he was not allowed to keep it in the house until he had somewhere to lock it up, so that's the story of how we have a mostly empty gun locker in our basement.

THAT'S A THING THAT PEOPLE DO?

My friend's husband went skeet-shooting with his groomsmen before the wedding (while the bridal party was getting dolled up, and they were a mix of Virginia and Tennessee people, but I don't think he gave out guns...

I appreciate you calling it good sense.

Awww, this is just too lovely. I remember when you delurked! It was a joyous moment, though little did any of us know the consequences (eg. how many people would end up sleeping on your floor). Also, I know what you mean about having to remind yourself that you HAVEN'T met some of the community.

Wait…..we haven't met? Oh yeah. That seems really weird for some reason.

Remember when the only thing you knew about the community was that I was a drunk? Proved you wrong (you're running low on vodka)
