Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Birthday, Beth!

Lee and I know each other from grad school, pre-'fistas.

Yeah!

I don't want to be awake.

What is even happening?

Errrgh. I made Noah and Grace's respiratory therapist laugh yesterday, but now I think he wants revenge.
What happened, Kat?

Sparky, did Lee introduce you to b.org, or did you run into her by accident, here?

I knew Ellen S. in college, and it was a complete coincidence to meet her at b.org.

That's really cool, flea. Did it take you long to figure out that you knew one another?

Replace "Ellen S." with "Calli," and I could say the same as flea.

Did it take you long to figure it out, Fred Pete?

My acquaintance coincidence was Zoe. She knew one of my college roommates.

Oh my word, that's right. I'd blocked that out. She didn't live too far from UTTAD, either.

A year later, an acquaintance of my E's mother, who turned out to be M's aunt, played the match-maker and introduced them. The got married, have two adorable daughters, and the only people who remember that once upon a time they passed each other in some building, are my brother and myself.
That's a wonderful story, Nilly. They don't remember it, at all. Hee.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I wouldn't say I knew her "well", but Betsy and I were acquainted with each other from rec.arts.comics, and we'd actually met once at a Worldcon, IIRC. Also Brenda M (Lysana on LJ). And I was already good friends with SF-Marty and Debg's husband.

I recruited shrift to the Buffistas, though we still met in fandom.

Where did you met, Dana?

Oh, neat. I knew you knew Marta and Nic, but not Lysana and Betsy.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

In fact, one of the reasons that I started regularly posting to the Buffy topic on TT was that I recognized not only Betsy, but also Jerry Boyajian and Mitch Wagner, so I felt "safe" about using my real name and online identity.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not Brenda M... I think her last name is D. (Why is my brain filled with this kind of thing??)

Yup. D.

Why is my brain filled with this kind of thing??

With that, however, I can't help you.

Sparky, did Lee introduce you to b.org, or did you run into her by accident, here?

Actually, I think I pointed Lee to b.org (possibly even TT) where I was lurking because we were discussing Buffy in email. She definitely posted first, though.

Sparky! We didn't get to post together for so long, this is the first chance I get to congratulate you on the big move. So, um, sort-of-congrats, I guess?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Did it take you long to figure it out, Fred Pete?

A while. I hadn't seen her in just this side of forever. Then she appeared on the board, and she mentioned some personal info. I thought I recognized her, and e-mailed later to confirm.

'Twas a weird feeling.
