[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Chris is old enough to play basketball?!? How is that possible?
Hmm. All these first impressions are reminding me of the 3 F2Fs I've been to, and making me sad I missed two others...but I'm hoping that this year it'll be earlier or later, so it won't conflict with my big drag show!!
I seem to get an awful lot of "and you must be ND" so I somehow suspect I fit what people are expecting. Just what it is they are expecting I have no idea. I'm me and I'm pretty good with that.
"How do you know about inclined planes, mommy?"
"Um. I learned about them in geometry. In tenth grade."
Ha!
I'm me and I'm pretty good with that.
Yes, you are.
I expected a kilt, ND. And I was not disappointed. But you were also funnier than I expected, and for whatever reason I had no clue about the beard (which I love, as I am a big fan of men's facial hair).
Aimee, are you still around? I finally finished NR's vampire books, and Valley of Silence made me cry and cry. That ending just killed me.
Someone do me. I'm feeling forgettable.
Pffft. You always walk away from a F2F missing a few people you had wanted to spend more time with. The flipside is that circumstances will often throw you together with somebody you didn't anticipate spending time with and it's all fun. You were my bonus baby at this F2F.
You have that shrewd, watchful quality I associate with a lot of writers. Always taking things in and mentally filing away notes even while you're at parties and talking to people. You've got some innate cool, and physical confidence. You know you're attractive even if you've been in mommy mode for a while now.
The thing I really noticed though was that little glint in your eye that seemed to grow brighter as the weekend went on. Like you were remembering a part of yourself that had gotten buried. An undomesticated Amy. A hungry, horny, risk attracted Amy.
Plus, you were just very fun to spend time with, and I totally enjoyed playing with your hair.
Amyliz! We were talking about you today-- I went shopping with Sparky and Suzi, and Sparky found a bag that would have been perfect for you.
Also, I bought Valley of Silence, so now I may need to spend tomorrow reading it.
Reading all of these first impressions, I was trying to think back to some of my own. For me, the one thing that stands out for all of my first meetings, is that I go into them scared and full of doubt, with all of my self-image demons in full force, and as soon as I meet real, live Buffistas, any trepidation goes away. I have never before felt so immediately accepted. The funny thing is, I get just as nervous whenever I'm going to meet another Buffista, but every time I actually do, it works out wonderfully.
ION, we're getting another winter storm warning. We hadn't finished with the last winter storm. I have a sneaking suspicion we're in for a lot of snow this year. The skiers should be very happy, especially after the last few years, when we got big snow dumps, which were almost immediately ruined with rain. I'm not ready for winter this year, but at least it's better than ice.
Chris is old enough to play basketball?!? How is that possible?I hear you, meara. Well, he's only 6 (and a half) and "playing" basketball might be putting it a bit too generously, but he is on a team. Some of the other kids on his team (the team is made up of 1st and 2nd graders) are really something. I feel kind of badly for Chris, because he's playing like you might expect a first time bb player to play. At six.
An undomesticated Amy. A hungry, horny, risk attracted Amy.Not to tell tales out of school, but I'm not sure that Amy's too buried. She definitely lurks.
"How do you know about inclined planes, mommy?"
"Um. I learned about them in geometry. In tenth grade."
Ha!For real. Seriously though, how does he know about inclined planes at age 6?

Oh my. I should totally fish for attention more often.
You've got some innate cool, and physical confidence.
Wow. Thos are two things I would never say about myself. Whee!
You will probably be disappointed to know that I am letting my hair grow. But only to chin length, so I can do an angled bob. I miss having hair that moves.

Did you read the first two books, Lee? You don't really have to, but the payoff of Cian and Moira is even better when you have. I am such a sucker for a brooding, tormented vampire, it's a bit sad.
as soon as I meet real, live Buffistas, any trepidation goes away. I have never before felt so immediately accepted.
This. There's a definite feeling of finding your tribe. And wherever more than one Buffista is gathered, there's a lot of love in the room. And I don't even mean porn!
