"OMG! What if they decide I suck!?!"

I was going to say that this would be so unlikely as to be, well, extremely unlikely, but localistas got there first. I totally understand the feeling though. Before I first met Buffistas, I was so scared. I had a running dialog of, "They'll think I'm ugly, and stupid, and talk too much, and ugly, and not fit, and..." Then I actually met folks, and it was fun, and they were wonderful, and they didn't seem to hate me. It was as if we had known each other for ages, and about 10 billion times better than I could possibly imagine.

I won't tell you not to worry, DJ, as I imagine that's futile, but I hope you don't stress too much. And really, I can't even conceive of a world where you suck.

That one never ends in my head.

Nor mine.(Holy shit! Alert the media...spending most of one's life meeting strangers who literally look you in the face and say "What's wrong with you?" does not make for great self-esteem.) ETA: Which looks funny under Dr. Cox. And I don't mean porn, though I did have that dream once.

I know it's crazy, as I've met buffistas before. And I know it turns out fine. It's just that with all the nervous energy and the squeeeeee! and the glavin now that the trip is so close, I just want it to get here already.

Woo! I love when the boss stops by unexpectedly and I'm actually working.

I know that feeling, P-C.

It's like, "Shit, he's looking at my computer! But...wait, I'm doing work! He can look all he wants! I look productive! Wheeeee!"

That. Only replace "computer" with "classroom".

IT'S SNOWING!!!!

I had more stuff, but am too freezing to think.

Well, I can't imagine you're posting on TWoP with your entire class.
