I have this awesome mast logo that I'd love to share, but I *really* shouldn't post a link to it here for a variety of reasons. But it's cool, just so you know. So pretend I shared it.

t Pretending for sara Awesome link!

Jesse, so tomorrow, when you're a Maste, does that mean you'd be interviewing for a French pirate job? Because I don't see any other way of understanding the "e" there at the end.

Wow, that is awesome, sara!

For you, Nilly, tomorrow I will speak like a French pirate. Hohn hohn arrrrr.

Lovely story Nilly! *Kermit waves*

DL and JS--two great tastes, well, you know. Denis Leary also thinks Hugh Laurie is hilarious...that's why he was bragging on Black Adder(Which I haven't seen, actually)

when have you met an online friend in face-space for the first time? In what circumstances? How did it work out? Did you keep in touch later?

The first people from online that I met was from here. In July of 2001 I went to Mendocino for vacation with my college roommate. I flew in and out of SFO, and I had an extra day at the end of the trip by myself b/c my roommate left the day before I did. So I got a hotel in SF, announced to the Buffistas that I'd be in SF and who wanted to play?

I was nervous that no one would take me up on the offer, and that I'd die of shame from being so presumptuous. And then I was nervous that people *would* take me up on the offer and I'd be all tongue-tied and not know what to say and they'd wonder WHY they ever agreed to meet this socially inept freak from Ohio.

Hec, ever the Gatsby-like social creature that he is, suggested that people could come over to his place. (It occurred to me that it could be a plot to kidnap me into white slavery -- or to kill me, chop me up, make me into sausage, and sell me for a profit. But it all turned out okay.)

The first Buffista I actually met in person was 'Suela, who I picked up in my rental car on the way to Hec's. And then I met Hec and JZ (who were not in any way dating or umfriend-y or anything....yet), and everything just went beautifully and I wasn't socially retarded and there was pizza and wine and no one made me into sausage and I quickly got addicted to hanging with Buffistas in person.

I'm trying to imagine Leary and Laurie together now (not in a "/" way) - I think that would be frelling hysterical.

Heh, Leary in his usual short-fuse mode as a patient on HOUSE - it MUST happen!

First buffistas I met were Jon B and sj at Jon B's house for the Wonderfalls premiere - met a whole passle of New Englandistas. Out of the NE crew, I only see Nora and Tom regularly, but I do like the get togthers that happen round these parts, though I've missed a few I wish I hadn't.

I just finished a book with Pirates. Arrrrrr.

Last night I had dinner with soem fairly wealthy folks. The jewelry this one woman was wearing were ginormous and numerous. They were all charming in their own way and two mentioned how lovely it would be to have a child like me. t preen
