Bloggers Unite

OC Girl came to town last night. After chatting with her daily for months, it was great to finally meet her face to face. Nihilistic and Michael joined us for a tour of The Cruz, some grub and vino, and a sighting of The Umbrella Man. (It just isn't a tour of SC without him.) Even Dumpling came along. Luckily, he wasn't injured by this cool old limo.

We raised a glass and toasted to blogging. When I began this blog I never imagined I would meet so many new friends. Cheers to blogging! Cheers to new friends!




Tonight it is David Sedaris at the Flint Center.

Need I say more?







*****************************
I almost forgot to list my five things today!

1. I have good manners and I use them.

2. I am well read.

3. I am very thoughtful.

4. I am intelligent.

5. I am empathetic.

Good conversation, drinks w/ friends, and Sedaris? You've just described my ideal day.

You have classy blogger friends, drinking red wine and all. :)

Mmmmm. Sedaris. I'm so insanely jealous. In Tulsa, we don't get any fun stuff. :(


(on another note, the word verification below right now is "poosc". That made me giggle!)

PS - How exciting is it that a picture of my crotch made it on your blog???

Let's not forget this one: You are kick ass.

I agree with you on the friend blogging front. It's amazing that, upon meeting these fellow bloggers, you feel as if you've known them longer than some of your lifelong friends.

First of all, I'm loving your lists. It's really making me think more in the "what's great about me" sort-of-way.
Second, though I've yet to meet a fellow blogger I have often thought that it would be like getting to know someone backwards, which seems pretty cool at times.
Third, cheers to you!

Oh man, I am so JEALOUS! OC Girl AND Sedaris? It just doesn't seem fair.

Lizzie said...

(p.s. I didn't mean to exclude Nihilistic. I'm sure he's lovely too, I just don't know him... And I'm sure Dumpling is nice too. Gah- you know what I mean!)

I think I've never ever actually met a fellow blogger in the flesh. This probably has something to do with living where I do and my aversion to leaving the house to travel. But I've always had a theory. There are no bloggers. All posts on the Internet are made my a guy name Bob who lives in Florida and is on the verge of a breakdown trying to keep all these personas straight.

But it's just a theory.

See, I think it's getting easier for you. That's awesome! What a great assignment. (I should try it...)

I love the idea of, Am I my best self with him.

THAT is important. And permanent.

ugh, no more mention of The Cruz or pictures of familiars. =) My weak heart can't handle it. I miss that town far too much...on a side note, congrats on the blog-a-friends. Is there an "official" blog forum? Like Blogster or BlogSpace? Hmm...maybe I'm floundering in my adolesence now...

That sounds like fun times! I didn't get a chance to tell you before - but I love your 5 things! It's really inspiring that you are taking such firm steps towards making yourself feel better!
