I was just taking a walk around my apartment complex, and as frequently happens during walks, started thinking random thoughts, which led me to thinking about how many Buffista friends had been in my apartment in comparison to work or other life friends (I can't use real life vs online friends any more, since there are just too many people who are both now) which made me wonder if I could still name all of the Buffistas who have been in my apartment.

I came up with (in no order whatsoever) Allyson, Kristen, Polgara, Kat, Lori, Burrell, Gloomcookie (and her GF, whose Buffista name I forget), Aimee, MM, Sean, Thomash, ND, ita, Alibelle, DX, Plei, Laura, (Jilli's) Minion, Emily, Matt TBF, Madrigal, Hec, JZ, SA, Teppy, Fay, Jon B, Sparky1, meara, Nilly, and Cass. Who am I missing?

That also led me to thinking about all of the Buffistas I want to come visit, but that gets me to about 100 or so, for lo, I am greedy for Buffista visitage.

I met Lee! I figure thus, through only a few degrees of separation, I've then met almost everyone!

Still longs for more F2F meetings.

It's just one degree from you to me, as I had the great pleasure of meeting Lee this year.

Blows air kiss to katefate.

And I've met Lee, hence I know Lilty now, too!

Psst, don't tell Lee, but she's a big ol' social disease. She's spreading buffistadom willy-nilly.

intercepts the air kiss, tucks it in her pocket.

Blows still more air kisses to everyone in the thread, then begins to frolic, because frolicing is fun.

Psst, don't tell Lee, but she's a big ol' social disease.

SailAweigh posts it, Lee proves it in the next post.

And I want my air kiss back, missy. Preferably in person. From both of you.

I'll keep it safe until then, Katefate.

Ooh, if I count my house in Maine, I get to add Tom Scola and Java Cat to the list too.

she's a big ol' social disease.

Hopefully the funny syphilis kind.
