sara, I KNOW! they totally should, or you know, just give me stuff. really everyone should.

Teppy, I remember that picture! I remember spoting Willow on one of the magnets of the fridge in the background, even.

Those people should totally adopt you, msbelle. I'm sure you would be a credit to their family.

I need to shower and get moving. I don't wanna!

They should adopt you as a vacation kid, and then send you on swank vacations!

That would be fabulous.

The first online person I met was Elena B. Megan and I went together, in case she was an ax-murderer. It was a little awkward at first, but it worked out fine. Megan thought Elena seemed really normal. It worried her. We learned better later.

Ever since then meeting online people has been much easier. I don't know if it's because I've gotten used to it, or because I've mostly been hanging out with people online so long now, that we have a shared history, which gives us something to talk about.

Daytime tv update: Richard Simmons on Martha Stewart's show. He's super-annoying, obviously, but it's hilarious that he keeps trying to get Martha to be silly, and she absolutely refuses. Finally she was like, "I have tasks to get done here!!" She's such a hard-ass.

My first Buffistas met were Fiona, Scola, Joe Boucher, MsBelle, David (who's last I don't remember), Martha, Michele Tepper and possibly Joey D, Jesse, & Megan Walker at Fiona's corporate apartment when she was in NYC on business (the corporate apt. seemed like such a good idea just in case anyone was a white slaver then they wouldn't know anyone's actual home).

I think my first Non-Yorker 'ffista was Teppy whom I met sitting on my stoop when I got home from work and stayed with me for several days. Guess I'd gotten over ax murderer frears by then.

Happy Birthday Vortex!!

3 hours of action-adventure tv shows is apparently at least an hour too much. I had exhausting shoot'em up dreams. Both cats were occupying the pillows which is usually a sign I've been thrashing around too much in my sleep. Oh, and the fact I was all tangled up in the sheets. Getting out of bed shouldn't be as complicated as it was this morning.

When I have nights like that, the cats normally cower in the other room, the pillows end up on the floor, as do the sheets.

Nice Logo!

The first online people I met IRL were Kat and Lori. After I had to cancel once or twice because of work, I was supposed to meet them at the Grove, across the street from my apartment complex. I told them to park in my apartment complex to save money, so I ended up running into them there. I hadn't seen a picture of them yet, but Kat's description made me recognize them.

They were kissing when I walked up though, so I had to wait until they stopped before I could say hello.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VORTEX!!!!! Soon I shall be plying you with mojitos. Muhahahaha.

First online person I met was Joey Dee, back in PF/WX days. Second was Deb, when I flew out to SF for Halloween in 2001. Good times.

She's such a hard-ass.

Prison will do that to you.

My first online meeting was not someone from here. (I haven't met any Buffistas yet!) His name's Bill, and I don't even remember how I got to talking to him anymore. He came out to visit me and some others from NY when I was in college. I remember my mother thinking I was crazy after the fact. He's a sweetie, though I don't talk to him nearly as often anymore.

Happy Vortex Day!
