... I've met in the flesh. Last weekend's meeting was no exception. I had the fortune of seeing this person's show on Saturday, and as if that weren't enough, I had the added bonus of accompanying her out for drinks and conversation. Conversation with her was nothing new, but conversation in person was. It was a bit surreal. Oh the places we go...
Other surreal things?? Teaching women of a certain age on Wednesdays, only to find out that my Thursday class mainly consists of 13 yr-old boys. I'm not sure which group will be the one to push me over the edge. My humor is probably more consistent with the 13 yr-old boys, but as the authority figure, I'm not supposed to say any of it.
Other things that might or might not be surreal?? Life is busy right now and most of my blogging time/energy is going into my sketchbook. I have renewed patience for creative endeavors these days, but it seems to have taken a toll on my patience for mankind. I have little of that, so it's probably best I'm blogging less. Asses are caloric and I don't need to be chewing them.
I think we got all the way through a couple hundred comments at my joint without anyone saying Zardoz.
End of an era....

I think the key to dealing with the yoots is to keep them intellectually engaged. If they are interested, they will be pleased to cooperate with you.

I have yet to be disappointed by online people I've met in the flesh
Some people would take that as a challenge, you know.

My head hurts and I'm going to bed.
I'll disappoint you in the A.M.!

Let me see if this works now...
So glad you had such a great time Saturday! Maybe if I ever get my email back you can fill me in on the details.
AND... how totally awesome a out the 13 year old boys!! You will have a blast!!

YAY! I can comment on your bologna!!
Posted by: blue girl | June 19, 2012 at 08:28 AM
Yay!
I'll send you an email, BG. Retrieve it when you can.
The 13 yr-old boys are definitely a different, and welcome, energy. I think I'm finding myself biting my tongue a lot though in that I'm ready to dive in and joke away, but realize half of what I'd say is probably not appropriate coming from the "authority figure". :)

I'm so jealous that you actually got to meet her in person! How awesome are you???
Pretty flippin awesome I'd say.
You'd be totally disappointed in me if we met in person. I'm an idiot. :)
((Hugs))

P.S. As the mother of 3 boys, I'd be much more comfortable with them. Boo to old women!

Don't worry about it Laura. Jennifer's met ME, and she STILL says she hasn't been disappointed by bloggers.... unless, of course, she is blocking it all out for mental health. An admitted possibility.

It may be a matter of starting with sufficiently low expectations.
Posted by: herr doktor bimler | June 19, 2012 at 03:55 PM
She's in denial, ZRM. Ha-ha-ha-ha...

This all depends on whose flesh you're wearing.
Posted by: Substance McGravitas | June 20, 2012 at 12:41 AM
I doubt I'd be disappointed in you, Laura! Even though I have to agree that hdb has a valid point. Substance seems to be going all Silence of the Lambs on us.

Funny how those go hand-in-hand.
