blushing at the compliments
Gah. Hope I don't leave anyone out here...
Tep and Hec, I think I already got you two.
P-C - very sweet and quiet, but not in a shy way.
Cass - fabulous smile (I really wish I'd had more of a chance to talk to you!)
Erika - Even if I hadn't known you from online, I would have seen that mischievous glint in your eye and known that you were nothing like a Hummel figurine.
Aimee, when I saw and heard you for the first time, I could have sworn that someone had cloned my friend Karen. I adore your voice, btw.
Juliana, I was bowled over by the sexy and the devilish. Seriously.
Jilli, I was a bit surprised by your voice, but now I can hear it so clearly when I read your posts. I think I was expecting it to be a bit higher pitched.
AmyLiz - I felt instantly comfortable around you.
AmyLiz - I felt the same way about you. Instant connection.
Hence the gossipy phone calls at 9pm. :)
Typo Boy, Hil - Thanks for the information. Right now I want to work on improving my arithimetic. I actually enjoyed algebra in high school and some of what I did in college, but my incredible weakness in arithimetic always tripped me up in algebra. I'll have to check those out.
Aimee: cheekbones., cheekbones, cheekbones. Also a great laugh.
JZ-- more shy at first than I expected but just as pretty and gamine as I imagined. Lovely almond eyes.
Jilli--I expected her to look exactly as she did, but was bowled over by her openness and sweetness. Pete also large with the wonderfulness.
Laura-- Warm and friendly and charming and instant comfort. I felt as if we could have talked all night.
Aimee: cheekbones., cheekbones, cheekbones. Also a great laugh.
*BLUSH*
Robin - I was convinced (still am for that matter) that you are NOT the age you claim to be. And DH (then WBB) was the kind of guy you could sit next to with a beer for just hours and never run out of things to talk about.
BTW - How's the state of Johnny Carson park these days? I think I might take Em over there tomorrow morning.
Aw. I wanna go to an F2F to meet all you lovely wonderful people.
Jilli, I'm extending your birthday one more day so I can say Happy Birthday! and not be late.
Tep, I say, The Boy will undoubtedly look at his ex, and remember things you don't know about, and think what the heck was I thinking?! and hug you in relief and gratitude. Also, my nieces still call my ex "uncle" and he sends them presents, but we are so not ever getting back together, so don't draw too many conclusions from the photo in the wallet!
Heh. People always think I should be tall, for some reason.
You were actually taller than I expected.
First impression of Aimee was "There's a person hugging me! Who is this person hugging me? ... ... ... Aimee! Cool!"
What were people's first impressions of me?
Hil, you also sounded nothing like I thought. Your voice, I mean. You were so very funny and wicked smaht. Edited to say, you ARE so funny and wicked smaht.
Hil, you also sounded nothing like I thought. Your voice, I mean.
How was it different than you expected?
(OK, yes, I'm totally just angling for attention today. I spent the past nine hours grading papers in an empty office, and none of my friends are around to do anything with tonight. I need human interaction!)
