farting in a mudbath

comedy gold.

Nilly, it really was. I was telling some non-board friends about it this weekend and they were all confused who I knew that was famous enough to know actors at premiers. I had to explain friends knowing writers who know actors who are sometimes nice to indulge fans.

Thanks, Nilly. With any luck, my nephew will be out of the hospital in a day or two.

Hee. Tim's PA introduced me to Nathan as a friend of Tim's. Which is, you know, fine. But Nathan asks where I know Tim from. Why people gotta ask that question? I'm not sure if the answer "the internet" makes me sound weird, or Tim, but it felt weird, so I said (also true, in a virtual sense) "You know that Tim -- he gets around."

God bless indulgent actors, for thusly shall they fortify their fanbases.

I was so excited about Nathan Fillion calling msbelle that I was telling MY real-life friends about it.

Where was this Allyson/msbelle discussion of the premiere? I can't find it, but I've been all skippy the last few days due to the driving across country.

I still do the waffle thing even with non-famous people. Third party: "So, how do you know X?" Me: "Well... um..." X, often: "FROM THE INTERNET!!" Me: "Well, yeah."

I don't think I want to go out with George, but I still want to take him home and make him cocoa.

I am so tired right now I can barely hold up my head. Good thing I have no class tonight.

friend of a friend is my general answer when I don't wanna say internet.

With my friends who know about the crazy internet people, I say, "she's a crazy internet person." With other friends I'll just say something like, "Oh we go way back..." Or I'd say, "Jesse is a friend of msbelle." and leave them to figure that out.

Stephanie, you done driving yet?

I think everyone should answer the where questions with "the imaginary people in the box that talk to me."

That way, I can laugh and laugh at the looks on the questioners' faces.

In general, I cop to the internet. But I'm doing it with a "You wanna make something of it, huh????" look in my eye. And I often segue into the "Safe Arbor from Ann Arbor" story with Allyson and dare them to make light of the medium.

Nathan didn't need all that.
