'Smile Time'
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!
she has an amazing way of making one feel like they're exactly the person she most wanted to meet.
Yes, this. I know I haven't posted with her that often, and I barely said got the chance to say five sentences to her at dinner, and she made *me* feel that way.
Damn. Maria made me cry.
Me three.
This is pretty much what I said to the BF last night; that she has an amazing way of making one feel like they're exactly the person she most wanted to meet.
This this this.
Also, thank you everyone for taking the time to tell such vivid stories about this trip. It truly has been such a group effort and group experience. I am honored and excited to have been a small part of it.
Important edit: This is not just monkey-grooming. I truly do feel honored.
Oh damn, Maria made me cry, too.
Quick, somebody run to JFK and Nillynap her. I'm just not ready for her to go.
Also, thank you everyone for taking the time to tell such vivid stories about this trip.
It has been so wonderful reading all the stories. It made me feel like I was there, even though I was far away. Thank you.
It has been fantastic to read the Nilly!stories, and to have confirmed that she has the same graciousness in person that she has on this board.
Also, how much do I love Cindy's story about the HMC and sgnM?
This ________________________________________ much.
I put up the beginning of my Nilly reportage in my livejournal.
Nilly was very excited that I had kosher bread, peanut butter, and jelly, because she'd never had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich before, and wanted to know what it tasted like.
That Nilly. Such a hoot.
And an Enigma! They had a three-wheel and a four-wheel Enigma! I really need to get out to that cryptography museum sometime.
Dude!! And right after having finished Cryptonomicon, too.
It was a tiny pot filled with soil, and a packet of seeds. So, flowers from Israel.
Yikes! I have no doubt that Nilly meant well, but this was not a good idea. Had Customs noticed there would have been lots of bureaucratic trouble and possibly a fine of up to $1000.
No, not if you had seen the packaging. Everything was factory sealed, no different than the packaged food she brought. She made it through El Al, and customs, just fine.
