I remember Aimee and Joe and Sean and ND around Anne's dining room table in Baltimore for the DC F2F, all four of them tapping away on laptops. And Lee's living room, with Nicole, Ellen, Lee and me all posting reviews of Serenity and describing Ozzie's latest nap in the bowl. Or Deb's front yard, with KateFate and Beth's DH and Brenda and I, and probably others I'm forgetting, checking in on the board. In between a baseball game and a museum trip. In a drizzle. Not to mention the various hospitality suites. It's so hilarious that we cross time and space to be in the same room together, and then break out the hardware to talk to each other--although it's as much to try and bring everybody else on the board along, too.
Wherever two or more are gathered, with laptop or text thingy...
X-post from Movies for you Late-Night Bitches;
The trailer for 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End' is up.

I knew there was a reason I hadn't gone to bed yet. Thanks, Pete!
Can I be off the list yet?
Holy cow. Is billytea's new wife photogenic, or what?

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Um. Not that I'm excited. Much.
Guess what? I ended up having my evening free, and Juliana and Javachik met me out for dinner! It was luverly. We laughed...just a little.
Oh. Sniff.
Well, I went for sushi. Not that sad. Also, apparently CalWest is psychic, because despite my not having made any contact with them yet, they just let me know they'd sent out my portfolio to some very fancy-looking private school (which I'm not sure I could even afford to get to, let alone live near).
Emily, I know!! It was such short notice. I'm so bummed I missed out on everyone else. I am bound and determined to come up and visit (this time when it's not work-related) soon.
Also, WHEE! GO CALWEST!
(Which school? Email me--I may know someone there and could put in a good word.)
Message sent. My self-esteem is at a rather low ebb, though, and I'm feeling a lot of not-good-enough-ness.
Backflung with very good news.
Emily, I hope it gets better and that Kristin's good news helps that happen.

At first I was laughing about this, but then I thought about my few online group meetings with internet-made friends. My first ever was with Bronzers, and it was a big group of us at a restaurant. My husband came with me, and I couldn't concentrate on what anyone was saying. I missed the ability to be able to scroll back and re-read, before responding. Most of my subsequent Bronzer gatherings involved smaller groups, and it wasn't as disconcerting, but I still missed the ability to scroll back. I've felt the same way, the couple of times I've met with Buffistas.
