DUers who are constantly out of the loop check in!
By that I mean DUers such as myself who always miss or come in very late on the different DU trends.

I salute you! :patriot:

15. A Trent coup!
I have a new pic of him and I don't think I can publish it in the Lounge.

He's naked w/ merely a sheet covering a certain spot. It's soon to become my new screensaver.

13. Present.
You could do what I do: tell yourself that you're just removed from the cliques/posses/trends/flamewars in the Lounge, and ignore the reality that no one talks to you anyway.

to understand all the High Drama.

The fights, the snubs, the underhanded digs and overinflated sensitivities, the gossip, the stalking....Damn, that sounds like the dysfunctional family from hell!

Better to get out of the house for a while and go someplace safe, like GD ;)
