tulipOG 2003

Tina from LA — that's about as much as anyone ever got out of tulip, who joined in October 2003 and spent one whirlwind month composing little odes to biscuits and Cracker Barrel before vanishing into the ether. Her 13 comments were almost poetic in their brevity and randomness: "me 2," "who needs friend? I am fun," "I hate life, but looove cracker barrel, yippy," and a genuine hymn to baked goods — "I love biscuits they are fun, If I had a chance I eat every one, I love biscuits and I love you, I like krimpets too." She attended five events including Saves the Day/Taking Back Sunday and The Mars Volta, and her crew included thatdarngirl, ophelia, yodasucka, and skaorsk8. Behind the scenes, she carried on a flirtatious exchange with frobro, who was desperately trying to figure out who she actually was — and she eventually confessed she was really jollycandyman having a laugh. The whole tulip persona was a playful bit of mischief from someone who wanted to see how far a mystery could stretch.

eZabel Personality Type: ENFP — "The Biscuit Poet." Whether tulip was a genuine visitor from the West Coast or an elaborate inside joke, she left behind a tiny, strange, delightful footprint — proof that sometimes 13 comments and a love of krimpets is all you need to be remembered.
