Tep was like Girl Oz! Seriously, my first impression of Tep in my mental file is Girl Oz.
Okay, that is seriously the best compliment I've ever gotten. EVER.
(I know the proper Oz-ian response *should* have been "Huh," but I needed to express how chuffed I am at that compliment.)
I had dinner with Lee right before I got sick. IJS.
Which was also right before I got sick, which takes it back to being your fault.
neener.
I think Teppy was the first Buffista I chatted with at the first F2F. That was nice.
It took me until Prom night to unwind/relax enough to have a good time. Before that I was hides-behind-camera guy....
Hmm... maybe I should post some Chicago F2F pictures....
OK, here are some pictures of the Chicago F2F (Friday only): [link]
I think my first Buffista meeting involved ND's sidekick being passed around the table, so there are posts documenting the event. Aimee and Joe were both charming and gracious and funny. I think the three of them were able to prevent my not-so-outgoing personality from making the whole thing awkward. I think Aimee was taller than I expected.
Dear 'Ffistas,
I know you all know this, but as a long time lurker I'd just like to take this slightly-tipsy opportunity to be all creepy-stalker-like and reiterate how wonderful and beautiful and snarky and genre-specific and all-inclusive and generally fab you all are, with your on-board chattings and sharings and lives -- and, more particularly right now, your RL celebrations of person and group and each other and shit.
All this first impressions talk makes me wish I had delurked so much earlier. I wasted years (yes, years) being shy.
SuziQ says it for me -- I did delurk briefly once before, and you were all briefly very nice to me -- but I do hope it's not too late and one day you can all tell me what a giant spazz you thought I was upon first impressions...
Welcome, Shambles! I love your name, by the way. I hope you stay delurked so we can get to know you a bit better.
Timelies, all! I slept 15 hours last night. It felt like heaven. I guess I really needed it. Hopefully, this means I'll have more energy and motivation today.
psst, Gris:
Somervillians (Erin, VW, Frankenbuddha, Victor, ... who am I missing? I again suck) at Erin's sendoff.
it was Emily, not Erin...
it was Emily, not Erin...
How did I miss that? Guess either I haven't had enough coffee, or I was just caught skimming!
Gris, thessaly and EllenS were also at that event, I think.
