Skipping (still? Sigh) because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Glamcookie's birthday.

Happy birthday, GC! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Yeah, I`ve definitely had the conversational click. I have it with my new roomie which is why I`m just now coming to bed after talking for two hours after I meant to be asleep and despite the fact that he`s sick and we both have work to do in the morning. And we have wildly disparate views but the same personality type, thus the good talk. But the conversational click is (at least theoretically) non-sexual. Or at least it doesn`t have to be, although it can enhance sexual interest I think.
 
And not to be all BMECT about it, but the SO & I had the relationship click, met eyes across a crowded room and knew thing. So I definitely think it happens that way too. Interests were secondary. Well, music, that mattered. But there`s a reason why I`m a hockey fan today and it`s not because of my Hawaiian ethnic heritage, I tell you what.

I'm massively awkward upon first (and second, and third) meetings. A lot of the time I feel like I'm imitating proper human behavior rather than actually doing what I'm doing because it feels right to me.

Oh, god. That describes me to a T. The idea of having 'click' on a first meeting with someone causes so much anxiety it's not even funny.

Happy Birthday, Glamcookie!

I've had a click with a couple of people. It never went anywhere, but it was fun while it lasted. A lot of my f2f acquaintances don't pick up on my sense of humor right away, but the clickers did.

For me that click is very often when you feel like you've known someone forever, even though you just met -- when you feel like you're exactly on the same page in terms of humor and interests and thinking. It's happened a lot to me with friendships.

Happy Birthday, Giamcookie!

Makes him even hotter doesn't it? Like he does NOT have a face made for radio.

I know! It was fun to see them all. He was both hot and well dressed! I always love seeing the names of my NPR peeps. I have to say them out loud to recognize them.

I sort of clicked with this dude I met yesterday downtown. Probably wouldn't want to date him, even if I were available, but he was cute and charming.

Speaking of charming , i would have to go with Neal/Peter/Elizabeth. July 13, hurry up!

And yet, whatever the neighbors are cooking (something cheesy) smells so good, I can't take it. I'm full of gumbo! And pie!

Ooh, were you at Tupelo?

Also, Season 2 of Leverage is also on Netflix streaming!

OK, gotta board a plane now.

But yeah. I'm massively awkward upon first (and second, and third) meetings. A lot of the time I feel like I'm imitating proper human behavior rather than actually doing what I'm doing because it feels right to me.

Oh, I know how you feel. It takes me a long time to be myself around people.

Safe travels, Nora!

Ari Shapiro is wicked smart, from a wicked smart family. I'd love to be at a cocktail party with him, Dalhia Lithwick and Gail Collins.

Happy birthday GC!

When I have had the click, it's kind of blown my mind, because I'm used to getting to know people slowly.

I have to say, most of my longest lasting relationships have happened with people who I didn't really like on first impression, or who didn't really like me. I think I have anti-chemistry.
