I'd agree with you, except I had already met you before the F2F. The year before, when I was in SF, and you invited me over for white slavery Buffy and pizza and tub time with Emmett and the excellent company of other Buffistas.
Maybe that's why there was the Funyuns comfort zone. I certainly felt instantly at ease with you in Chicago. Well then my first impression of you was that you really enjoyed tub time with Emmett which, frankly, was a huge positive in my book.
Wow, that was a long time ago. I forget that any Buffistas met my ex-GF. But you did and Jon did and JZ did and Consuela did.
Let me think on it a little bit more, and I'll get back to you today.
Cool. Could you send your reply to my profile addy? I sent the last one from work. Which is where I'm at right now, but plan to be leaving in about a half an hour.
Wow, that was a long time ago.
Right? Five and a half years. Back when Emmett was still Darth Tigger and Buffistas were still at Table Talk.
I was Miserable in Lawrence! Which is much worse than Sleepless in Seattle, and yet, not as marketable.
I want to meet Erin so I can have a first impression.
I think most folks first impression of me is - damn - she is drunk. Ah, well.
K-Bug just showed me the video to "Detachable Penis". Strange.
Teppy, my first impression of you was about how self-possessed you seemed. You came across as cool and witty, in a sexy way. The opposite of dorky, actually.

Aye, caramba! I've known you people forever. And my life's been a freakin' roller coaster over the last five years too. I don't know whether to thank the Buffistas for their support, or blame them for their clearly unsettling effect.
I've known you, Tep, since you really were a vanilla, church going gal.
Knew Erin before she was a teacher.
Knew Fay when she lived in England and before she was a teacher.
Knew Ple before she had Lilybean.
Knew amych before she took up fencing, when she was single and working at the bookstore.
Knew Holli and SA and Lizard when they were still in high school.
Hec, You talked faster and at a higher pitch than I expected but your wicked but kind smile is just what I thought it would be. You also have a wonderful positive energy in person that is a pleasure to be around.

Hey, without the Buffistas, you wouldn't have your lovely wife or Gruntalina the homebaby. I'd say big thanks. Like, you should send us all chocolate.
W/o the Buffistas, Nora and Tom wouldn't be married, either.
ND and Kristen wouldn't be living together. K. might still be in Conn, ita might still be in Michigan. Juliana might still be...um, not in SF.
I would never have been to Chi or LA.
LOTS of other things would never have happened!
