I am oh so jealous of the tequila and the Chicago and the new friends.

OMG, how did you remember everything so perfectly? What happened in Chicago stays in Chicago because my brain is like a sieve. (Do you have some sort of photographic memory in addition to being a photographic wonder? Fab pics sister!) I mean, I remember. . . kind of. . . but it’s so fuzzy. Too. Much. Tequila. Which may also be responsible in part for the Scottish loudness. Well, the Tequila and the fact that in my head I’m always shouting over a battle scene.
You are a delight and I can’t wait for TequilaCon 06: Bali!

Nadia’s arm bleeds toward the end of the movie when she insists on competing despite her injury in order to prove to Bela that she’s a team player. There’s a close-up of her ketchup-smeared ace bandage.

“Yeah, but no one else needs to know that.”
Yet, now we all know. And can commisserate because each of us are dorks as well. I proudly proclaim it. I should add it to the header graphic on my blog.
Ooooohhh, you were drinking under the bean? I gotta try that. I would think that drinking and staring into your distorted reflection in the bean must be somewhat surreal.

J: I think we'll skip the architectural cruise in December, and head straight for the scotch & soda!

C1: You're an odd one, Cheryl. I like it. I think I've seen that movie - are her feet bleeding at one point? Or is that some dancing movie?

C2: I stand corrected - there are actually 85 types of tequila at that bar (I just double checked the website). I hope to someday work my way through all of them.

R: If only someone would make an action figure of a blogger, then I could reach the ultimate dorkdom.

Not quite dork status. The tequila part mitigates the techno blogger babble. maybe somewhere in the geek or nerd spheres. To attain dork the con needs talk of cartoons, comics or video games. (though you can go way past dork with manga or animie talk. also collectable figureines mint in the box).

80 different types of tequila exist? I had no idea.

A list of reasons why I should probably receive counseling regarding my childhood obsession with Nadia Comaneci:
1) I watched the made-for-TV movie “Nadia” millions of times, even after my dad accidentally taped over the first 20 minutes.
2) I turned my family room into a gym, with the couch doubling as vault and balance beam.
3) I made my mom serve Romanian food at my eigth birthday party. Other kids’ parties had pizza. Mine had some kind of soggy cornmeal dish. Apparently what we needed was tequila.

Too fun, Jenny….
Which reminds me, I can’t wait to meet you in November/December if you are still up for it. You don’t have to worry about making a list to entertain me – you just have to entertain me.
Kidding.
Not really.
Seriously, though, I’ll be working most of the week so we’ll probably only have one night together and it can be as alcohol laden as you like. Sigh.

J: It takes a lot of practice, but if you spend 12 straight hours talking about nothing but writers and blogging, you're well on your way!

B: I wouldn't even ATTEMPT to capture the Woman of 1000 Voices in writing. But my favorite is her South Carolina accent, because that's the one I always imagined she'd have. I am, however, considering doing an entire series on just Cristina. She fascinated me - it will be called "Romanian Idol."

A: Only another list-lover can appreciate our kind. And just so you know, the phrase "Asia's so cool" came up almost as much as "Where's the bathroom?"

S: We actually discussed pooling our money to purchase two floors of an apartment complex by the lake as sort of a blogger commune, so if you're interested, send me your check asap!
