You = not so much.

Cindy was surprised! Anne was surprised!

Yes, but Joe is home.

Bwah! That's not even why I was asking :).

This is a woman worthy of MM

It cracks me up because I always forget he was here before I was, and therefore I had to show I was cool, etc because IRL - so not the case usually.

"This woman has no inhibitions."

BWAH

No. Everybody gets shocked that I have a face like a Hummell but all these violent metaphors spew out. Buffistas find it amusing...general public, nsm. Crazy thought I had yesterday...it would have been a trip if Pelecanos had guest-written a WW. He could have written a good one for Charlie, even if he'd found "walking and talking" slower than a motherfucker.

Let's see....Anne, my first impression was "Ye gods, SO pretty," in a kind of Natalie Merchant way (which I revised to Elizabeth Hurley after the SF2F), and your super-cool alterna-chick glasses intimidated me. No, seriously.

Aimee -- I remember it was the LA F2F, and when I got to the hotel -- still in the parking lot, actually -- you came running over with a joyful squee and hugged me, and I remember thinking, "But I didn't even know she *liked* me!" And I just felt all giddy with the "you like me! You really like me!" thing going on.

juliana -- I can't even remember actually meeting you. I know it was at Deb's, and maybe was your plane late, or something? And I was all tired and like, "Hi, nicetomeetya, I'm going to bed because I'm on East Coast time." And then the next morning you had gotten up to run, and I mocked you for your vigorous energy as soon as you came back, and it was like we had always been friends.

Erin was in the pool at the Safari when I first met her. She was marvelling about being in LA. I thought she was snarky and funny and quite the pervy girl. Which I instantly bonded with.

juliana (in a serious manner) thought she beautiful and that her voice was nothing like what I thought it was.

I've never met P-C, but I felt like after the SF F2F, people finally got to know the P-C I already knew he was from online.

You're the sweetest, Cindy.

You = not so much.

Cindy was surprised! Anne was surprised!

Clearly they are silly. Plei comes across online as intense but laconic. You come across as intense and rapid-fire.

Mine will not help J. as I was confused as to whose first impression I was having. My mental images of people are always a bit off. and you all have an advatage when you meet me...I bring in a big damn clue.
