You know you're a true GKU BAB when...

[mlgnumbers]

Alright, fess up! What are some signs that you're a legitimate member of this community? Or, when did you first think, "Well, I guess I'm not a noob anymore."

[mlgnumbers]

Mine just happened. I read a post that gave me the side-eye, and I immediately went to read the poster's recent posts and research if they could be a troll.

[mlgnumbers]

Another symptom? When something happens IRL and you immediately think, "I know the perfect gif for that."

Top 4 :

1. When I had my first encounter with Lovely.

2. The first time I got told someone felt sorry for MH/called me bitter.

3. When I got a LT from GM.

4. ETA - When I got nominated for a superlative and won. Granted, I am not international but still...

This happened to me this week and I was so sad that no one IRL would understand how much of an honor that was!!!

You know what a butt baby is.

You've got certain answers memorized (I.e. "it can take up to a year", etc).

Lovely was not lovely at all.

I concur.

You realize there are a shit ton of clueless people out there, those who know nothing about how to get pregnant and yet still are.

And when people you consider regs acknowledge your existence.

There was no "a-ha!" moment. Unless you count when I finally went from "noob" to "member." I just don't know how to noob.

[daisy818]

I still feel very n00bish, but LTs from the regs I really look up to make me feel accepted! Especially when it's an LT on a response I gave to a question that actually deals with TTGP and not just finding my peeing in the bed story funny.

[lg2793]

I find myself curious if anyone joining is secretly BatMacy or jrcalhoun. Those go way back!

Wait, wasn't Lovely also jrcalhoun, or am I making that up?

[wowcheezits]

When you look at a thread from an unfamiliar name and automatically think to yourself, "What the actual fuck, is this shit for real?"

Yes, they were the same. And both BSC.

I loved getting giffed!

I really felt apart of this community when I was welcomed back after my loss in November. The amount of support that everyone showed me really made feel like I belonged here, as hard as it was to come back.

The other thing that made me feel like I really belonged was that people seemed to tolerate my slight obsession with Kanye West gifs. Unfortunately, there just isnt enough of Kanye to fully express how I feel, so I've had to tone it down.

Your gifs are the only Kanye I can tolerate. In any other context, mentioning him annoys me, but somehow I'm fascinated by how you always find the perfect Kanye gif for every occasion.

Or to your best friend when she revealed that she thought the Bump was full of meanies and was on Baby Center. ::Gasp:: (maybe we can't be friends...) lol

[thewickedfairy]

Knowing what butt babies and a clear period is. When talking in normal conversation and you almost say H instead of husband. I, too, have received a LT from GM.

This! I always felt bad because I couldn't gif anyone else because computers suck.

[wowcheezits]

When you see a post created by a familiar name and already know it's going to be good.

[cavewmninbrit]

Know the names and get confused when someone changes their avatar (this is still affecting me since the change over)

Learn how to gif and have a secret stash of awesomeness waiting to use them

Speak out of turn, get picked on, but over all don't give a fuck when the dust has settled

Am really happy for but a bit sad when someone awesome gets a BFP and hope that I get a BPF so we can go be awesome on our BMB together

*butt babies hehe

[Sammich_Cat]

When I finally got a nickname on Dec'13-I felt like that was star status.
*squee* People know me!

I think someone referred to me as Sammich yesterday too, so I'm all fluffy feeling about this board today.

[helloerrbody]

When I have deeply real and emotional feels when a member I love gets a BFP. When I sincerely care about who comes with me to my BMB whenever that time comes.

-Getting a LT from GM

-cataloging a folder of good gifs to use at the perfect time.

-when YOU start wondering why no one reads the newbie blog

-when you get excited at a drive-by/idiotic Q because you know the responses will be good!

-when people get excited with you in the O and TWW threads.
