After reading the whole xkcd event and what you've written I think she was genuinely interested in seeing you again. So just be patient but you can feel free to give it an extra nudge.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

[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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Patience is a good thing.
It took The Girl nine months to decide she wanted to answer 'OK' to my question 'Would you like to go out for a drink sometime?' Although I hear nine months is a bit excessive for that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Thank you. I thought so too, which is why I am confused and angsty.

She said she would tell me to call her, but she doesn't really answer the phone, so I'm likely to get her voicemail, which I don't know often she checks, but, uh, if I go that route I will write out what to say and try not to leave a catastrophically awkward one.

Rehearse it beforehand! Keep it short and pleasant. There should be several days of separation between the email and call.
After that, no contact to her until you get a reply. If she's got an email from you and a phone call then it's entirely up to her at that point.
These are your rules.

Well, she has two e-mails from me, assuming she received them and they did not go into her spam box. I guess maybe I will drop her a line tomorrow night to see if she is interested in Saturday and Sunday events.
Why do I feel worse about this now than I did before? Does telling you guys make it more real and not something that's just going on inside my head?

I agree with all this.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Glad y'all are finding Instant Boss useful. The other thing that helps me, while I'm sharing strategies, is nowdothis.com. You put in your to do list in the correct order, hit "save," and pow! The next thing you need to do is right there, so you can't get distracted/overwhelmed by your whole list. And it will remember the list even if you shut the browser or turn off the computer.
All of which reminds that I need to get back to work.
