I just sent e-mail to Neil Gaiman, letting him know about the new Gothic Charm School website. Yes, when I saw him at the Seattle signing two weeks ago, he asked me what happened to the Gothic Miss Manners site. Yes, he did say he wanted me to let him know when the new site was up. But *still*. I just e-mailed one of my top literary idols, about something slightly self-promotional. I feel funny.

Jilli, that's so awesome!

Awww, Jilli. You're famous, too. I totally name-check you. Just letting you know, in case someone ever says, snottily, "Some ass in LA claims to know you. Her name is Allyson. Like someone like you would actually like, TALK to someone like her."

Speaking of, can you email me your addie? I absentmindedly tossed the box the jacket came in without writing it down!

Ten bucks says Neil heads over at warp speed.

Now, if only I had the nerve to ping him and say hey, you probably do not remember me from a small black hole in the ozone layer, but we met at World Fantasy in 2002 - Siege of Beziers! Remember? - and also pal of Roz Kaveney's (memo to self, must ring Roz tomorrow), and, well, wanna come to a not quite Halloween thing in Minneapolis next Friday...?

Oh please. You're totally on my list of "People to import and keep forever and ever."

Yes'm.

She's cute, funny, and talented. Also, she's on the short side. If you're going to kidnap her when you're in L.A., she may well fit in carry on.

The Firefly essay was wonderful, and I want someone to buy the damn book already so that I can give it to people as a gift.

Plei, it makes me deliriously happy to read that.

As soon as the book is published, I'm planning on giving my dad a copy. He'd really like it.

Sure! I'll leave behind some petticoats to fit her in my luggage. I can always get one of the L.A.istas to mail the petticoats to me ...

Not if you're taking our Allyson.

But but but! I have to take her to Goth Night, so the pet DJ can flirt with her and possibly make with the smoochies!
