As it turns out, at a table full of scientists, I can actually sound smart.
you are smart. they just have more book larnin' and frankly, I know a lot of "smart" people that I'd like to run over with a truck. clever and entertaining is better.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

They were intrigued by my book and asked me many good questions.
I think I missed a memo. Book?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm writing and then giving up on, and then writing a book about my adventures in fandom. Current title: "Will the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby?"

Now tagless for your comfort.

That's great, Allyson! Do you have an agent n' shit, or is this still in the very early stages?

I'm sending out queries, I'm sort of just hoping for the best. If no one wants it, I'll lay it out 'zine style and upload it to my server so people can read if interested.
Now that all this party stuff is over, I'm hoping I can finish it all up pretty soon.

I was going to say Allyson, just order the chicken.
This isn't always sound advice though. I went to a Mexican restaurant with friends once and thought I'd be safe ordering the chicken, since "pollo" is one of about 5 words I know in Spanish. It came out coated in a chocolate sauce. Meat should not be served as a dessert.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Except that it's made from moles.
