Are you a subspace addict?

[Anduril.]

I use Windows Messenger, and I once messaged my girlfriend:

;3;yo faggot ! : )

It was meant to go to the Squadchat to say hi to Due..
Also typed "::<msg>" a lot of times in Messenger but mostly I realised I wasn't in SubSpace just before I hit Enter. :P

Edit: I also had several dreams about SubSpace before ..
Once I dreamed about Killermech. And Due. And lots of other things .. Sad thing actually now that I think about it ..

[Uridium]

jeez this must be the 5th or 6th time this list has been posted since i joined the forums.

I also remember nockm (or someone else) posting something about them driving home and imagining shooting a jav bomb off a sign post... Now thats addiction.

(p.s. if it isent you nockm i apologise)

[Pandagirl!]
