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 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.
Cass! Perkins just brought me the spider squid.
It seems to be missing part of one leg.
Yay squid! I'm kinda shocked that there are any legs left.
Puppycat does the run up with squid in face, spit the fur blob out and then meows. It is the cute. I have no idea what reaction she is going for but I just praise her for catching the fur.

I've had to store it on the top of the refrigerator when I'm not here. Perkins was using it to taunt ozzie through the gaps at the bottom of the dividing screen.
sigh. I appear to have a fever. sigh.

HEE!
I mean, bad Perkins and all, but damn that is funny.
I'm listening to the CD that my aunt got me for my birthday. It's klezmer/Appalacian. I really didn't expect those sounds to work together, but they sort of do. It's kind of neat.
