That's why Joe and I just drop Emeline off at random frat parties and then go out to a movie and dinner and pick her up later.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I score right at the border for introvert/extrovert on the Meyers-Briggs and that feels about right. I prefer small groups, but am fine in a large group, too.

I should try that! I was thinking of seeing if any teenagers from our church wanted to earn some babysitting money, but the frat party thing would be a lot easier.

Plus, think of all the networking she's doing!

I was so not nice while I was getting ready. Diva doesn't begin to cover it. In fact, any time getting dressed at the F2F happened, I was bitchy, and not in the good way. Plus I kept trying to blame Daniel for "dragging" me to it in the first place. Poor guy
see, that's why there needs to be drinking. And the stress was worth it, because you looked STUNNING.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I had a hard time at the SF2F. Lots and lots of people. Who I didn't know all that well. And did I mention lots of people?
Madison was easier. Much smaller group. People I knew better. I didn't feel as overwhelmed.
I will gladly chat with just about anyone, but I have a hard time *starting* the conversation. If no one starts, I just think no one wants to talk to me, so I don't try talking to them. It's a vicious circle.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Gali - untie me RIGHT NOW.
Heh.
That's the fun part for me, blasting the music and comparing outfits and drinking :)
Oh, yes.

Yep.
Windsparrow, I never would have guessed. And once again, you were gorgeous.
ION, I freaking HATE writing annual reports. Blecch.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
DEENA!!!
I'm also painfully shy, which tends to come as a shock to people who meet me-- but the thing is, if I "know" you, via online or whatever, I'm good-- or if I'm with someone who knows other people. I have to have that buffer. My idea of a nightmare is to be sent into a room full of people where I, in no way, know anybody, and be told, "Okay, you have to work the room and introduce yourself."
In this, I am much like Barb. (MFNLaw and I call ourselves "gregarious introverts", IIRC.) I *like* being around people, I like hanging out with people I know via online, I even like hanging out at a bar and chatting with people then. Having to work a room & make small talk with people I don't really care about? KILLS me, and I plan those kinds of parties for a (partial) living.

That is the BEST part of Vortex crashing at your place. Okay, one of the best parts.
