'Lies My Parents Told Me'
[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.
Nora! I forgot Nora. Who has the best smile and reminded me of a dear friend of mine from high school.
I also forgot brenda, and Ginger, and Toddson, and Nicole, and Cass, and ... this whole thing is getting too much for me now. I'm going to take a stand and say Buffistas = Foamy, Brilliant, and Inherently Gropeable.
I feel like such a space case. I couldn't tell you half of my first impressions. Especially not at the LA F2F.
The most notable first impression was naturally of Allyson. I'd spoken to her once on the phone (calling from NM) to say "Hey! I'm going to stay with you when I get to LA!" and once more to guide me to her place proper once I hit the city.
I got out of the car, she turned towards me, and then she smiled. Allyson has a great smile, and I knew it was going to be okay sleeping right by her bed until I got on my feet. She lit up.
And I don't mean in a smoking way, which she also does. Just not the point.

Whoops. Double post.
ita, my first impression of you was that, dear lord, you were WEE!
I was expecting you to be more Amazonian, I think.
Wee? I am so wounded...
Nah, kidding. I'm 15-20lbs heavier than that now. In fact, someone just said that my thigh is twice the size of Kat's.
You know, Plei, I just never got the spaz vibe off you. Of course, I didn't spend much time with anyone at the F2F, but you seemed shyer than I was expecting, but still Plei-like. And you proved that you weren't necessarily that good a photographer, because how were you going to mess up taking pictures of that face?
My first impression of ita was not her wee-ness. (Heh, WEENUS.)
It was her combination of utter fatigue and total glam. We didn't even say, Hello. I just started asking about her krav test that day. Also, she was totally cracking up when she got DXM's ita action figure and seemed to really appreciate it.
All this first impressions talk makes me wish I had delurked so much earlier. I wasted years (yes, years) being shy. Even once I started posting, it took Nilly coming to America before I got brave enough to meet folks.
Nilly - now there is a wee woman. And yet she is so much more than her size.
Thanks, ita. Don't be surprised if you get swamped with Olbermann photos once Bespectacled gets out. A number of Countdown watchers have that as a Thing.My mother was actually bitching about"Having to look over her glasses" at people. I've been waiting my whole life for that as an *opportunity* to look as intellectually superior as I feel.
And a cool RL name.Lib really does have a fabulous RL name. I want to call her by it just always.
I was trying to think of more first impressions and have exhausted my brain with it. Also amused myself that several of my "first impressions" of people are not when I actually first met them in meat space. Because there have been times when there were too many new people and so my filed first impression is later when there was more of an opportunity.
I've been waiting my whole life for that as an *opportunity* to look as intellectually superior as I feel.I am as erika with my glasses sometimes. Of course, I only should wear them for reading and computering and I forget more often than not, but I still kinda like wearing them when I do.
