<p>Register now! Then you too can join the fun..</p>
<p>Don't just read the posts, join in. Look at Ambrosia, entered in the past week and already has 34 posts. Its great fun, relief, and education.</p>
<p>But beware, it can be extremely addictive and could lead to negative effects regarding your studies (ie procrastination). Before, I too was a lurker and probably procrastinated about an hour in total. As a registered member, bonafide to respond, my procrastination most likely totals 2 hours. So beware, lurkers!!</p>
<p>yeah, definitely take mosby's warning to heart</p>
<p><3 a former lurker</p>
<p>i was a lurker last Jan - </p>
<p>join us! join us! join us!
were fun and were crazy.
our family is at 71 and growing!!</p>
<p>i guess now im a quasi-lurker since i did tell you guys that im here. . . but yeah, im here! does the 71 person family include me? mosby i definitely do hear what you're saying, but im always reading cc anyway-- i dont know if i could procrastinate MORE-- i already don't have time to sleep! basically: im not worried about cc becoming an obsession-- it already is!. . . ill definitely try to participate from now on! it is a little intimidating though. . but you guys make me feel so much less alone through this process, especially since no one knows that ive applied so i have no one else to talk to about this. im so insanely jealous of the people who applied to penn/brown/etc early and get to move on with their life THIS WEEK. -- one more for us guys!! <em>i want to be sedated</em> how are everyone elses other applications? <3</p>
<p>Lurker right here</p>
<p>Can't we be called observers instead of lurkers? Lurkers sounds so stalkerish.</p>
<p>Observers/Lurkers join- you learn so much. I was a lurker for the loongest time (back in teh old cc) and just read. By joining you can ask questions and participate in threads of your interest. In messages boards where i was an observer and then joined, i later regret not having joined earlier.</p>
<p>How's that for advertisement :)</p>
<p>I admit it, I'm a lurker!</p>
<p>But now I'm out!</p>
<p>My name is Jesse and I applied to Yale EA!</p>
<p>Wow... that feels good. :)</p>
<p>Hi Jesse! Add yourself to the EA roster. Welcome!</p>
<p>There we go- I'm officially on the EA roster. It's nice to finally talk to everyone- I was beginning to feel kind of creepy...</p>
<p>Well, hi everyone. My name is Eric and I am now no longer a lurker. A harsh term in my opinion... but anyway, I'm an EA applicant to Yale, so I'll add myself to the roster. Now that I actually posted, it isn't so bad after all. I'm looking forward to actually communicating with my fellow applicants, I just discovered this site a few days ago and consequently here I am. Best of luck come next week!</p>
<p>Hello, Jesse and Eric! Good luck to you both, as well as the rest of everyone and... Yeah. I'll be repeating this every day for another, I dunno, week or so. ;)</p>
<p>hi, i guess i'm a lurker too. my name's Erika and i applied ea....wow that feels like an AA meeting! haha, i'm glad to be out in the open! i'll add myself to the roster...here i go...</p>
<p>ima lurker. i got myself intentionally banned cuz CC was too addictive, but look im back! crap, im late for my wind ensemble concert.</p>
<p>an LA meeting... Lurkaholics Anonymous!</p>
<p>hahaha, how great is this? Everyone coming together! A little hopefully soon-to-be-Yalie unity!</p>
<p>Look at all of the lurkers coming out of the closet (as of now):</p>
<p>ilovepostalservice (4 posts)
afriend (2)
jesseo (6)
snowboardbuddha (7)
moseby (27)</p>
<p>And signifynothing is relatively new as well with only 33 posts (p.s. I don't signify anything by this, maybe your aren't a lurker)</p>
<p>While lurker is a harsh term, you are now all participants who can both learn and contribute to the process.</p>
<p>However, Only 15 people have posted on this page, while it has been looked at 402 times. For you lurkers still out their, give it a try.</p>
<p>Yes, lurkers come to us, we don't bite! I was a lurker a little over a year ago, then I saw the light. But yes, it will cause serious procrastination. Trust me. I lurked for an entire year and thought that was great, but once you join, it's 100x times better than you could ever expect. I have met so many great people, and by being a lurker you don't get to have these relationships with people. </p>
<p>It's hard to let things out of the closet, but as a former lurker who is now offically obsessed, there are people here to help you with this transition from lurker to active poster.</p>
