Many, many thanks to annierose! It was such a surprise to see a festive table waiting for us.
And a hearty thank you to the babblere that were there - for making me feel 'un-odd' if that makes any sense.
More thanks go to the babblers wo couldn't make it - for the good wishes.
And a special thanks to Dr. Bob.

>I hope I can take "hardest" to mean, closest to being vastly unlike what you expected! ;-)
Yes, that is exactly what I meant. I think that I didn't actually have an impression of what you would be like. You are definately less thorough in person (but, as I said, I can relate to thoroughness myself...). And when I say "hardest", remember that everything is relative. I think I expected everyone to be much "harder" than I found you to be. So it wasn't that you were "hard", it was that most of the others were SO much easier than I expected. Like it was 1 second of "Oh, that is who XXX is", whereas, it took multiple seconds (but not many) to match my online impression of you to your IRL self. I had expected that it would take hours with everybody, so multiple seconds is still much shorter than I expected. You (IRL) fit very nicely with your on-board self. And I like the whole you very much.
I think I should be quiet now. I don't know if I made this better - do I at least get points for trying?

That was a wonderful trip you took me on, Toph. You're an engaging writer.
Next year, I hope there is one, I'm going too.

This thread is way too long to get kicked onto social.
The Greek Chorus was what we were going to do if we came with you to therapy. We'd just put masks over our faces (to indicate our emotions) as you talk.

Awww thanks (you do take PayPal don't you ;)?
You are pretty darn sparkli and adorable yourself girlie, and I love your zest, spirit and inquisitive nature... (good try on grilling Dr. Bob, keep honing those skills for 2006!) You know everyone seems to remind me of someone, I am trying to think who you remind me of... Sandra Bullock maybe, someone else too but I'm mighty slow today! Anyway I'm so glad you could make it, you added a lot. :-)

LOL, oh it's fine, thanks! Just making sure I got it right! Boy, it all went by so fast, not much time for individual conversations but you're right, almost instantly it felt like everyone already knew each other. Happy and comfortable from the start, with everyone bringing their own special touch to things.

Have you thought of the actress I reminded you of? She must be fabulous of course!!

... of course I was only here at babble about four months last year and less than a month this year (pretty much only on Admin and Soc). Most peop probably wouldn't have an impression at all, either way. In fact I wondered before the party if that could make someone who doesn't know who I am at all uncomfortable, so I was glad it all worked out fine. :-)

> Have you thought of the actress I reminded you of? She must be fabulous of course!!Indeed! And it is not that other actress someone mentioned that I was thinking of, but I don't how to figure it out! She is what I think is called a "character actress/actor," as I understand it, meaning she's had bit parts in many things, including TV movies. I may have to see her in something again to figure it out, so don't ever turn off your babblemail! ;-)

At least that is what I just came up with. Don't know if that's who you are thinking of for Annierose.
I love her, by the way. Such an expressive face. Great smile...that sure sounds like Annierose to me. Thirtysomething was a great show.

Yeh, I loved gg's idea of a photo of your feet or of paperbag heads or something. Did you guys take a photo you're willing to put up?

No idea if it turned out, or if he only got our backs, or what he's planning to do with it.

Sure, but let me try to talk again to the shop I did before. I'm not sure the image I have is of high enough resolution...

In reply to Melanie Mayron!, posted by gardenergirl on June 6, 2005, at 19:27:26
Hi there gg! You know I can kinda see that, in a "family resemblance" way: as the cutest of the Mayron siblings! With a beautiful complexion, smile, and of course, at the times she wasn't all quirkied up (which was indeed always interesting nonetheless)! Melanie was terrific, as was the show itself, I agree. I rarely allow myself to test out and get hooked on any new shows anymore (I have enough problems with electronic babysitters already! ;), but that was one I couldn't miss at the time.
Glad I got to meet you, and that you made it back home safe and sound!

Wow - isn't that the weekend of Victoria Day? T.O. will be nuts!! At least we can count on some good fireworks, though.
Literally, I mean.

This is a gratifying thread. And thanks to Dr. Bob for putting up this lovely picture. It's now part of my slide show on my screensaver, but I want to know who's who. I'll have to check and see if there's something on the board here, I'll bet there is.

In reply to Re: what color shirt?, posted by Dr. Bob on May 31, 2005, at 3:06:41
..I got your email eventually...I'm not here much cause I'm not of this world.
..Anyway I'd prefer the sunflower pic ~ so what do others think?..much brigter simpler and positive...and could be made in a cartoon-ish printer friendly way..that's if I still got somewhere it in the cobwebs.
Even the pic shown above could be
simplified-I like it..maybe it's the phallic towers that does it for me..and who's the one in black/grey?..we're made for eachother..

I'll leave it to the photo subjects to spill the beans on that one, but alas... A few backs are M.I.A. here... Rainbowbrite, me, maybe All Done. We missed the boat... LITERALLY! After which this pic was taken. (Hey, what's up with Bob not taking another one later!) To my knowledge there are no other anonymous ones with the entire group. Oh well, we snoozed and losed! ;)

I'm not sure why you didn't get an answer.
I feel responsible - it was my idea to use your picture.
I don't think I've seen the other ones, but I'm sure they are also wonderful.
I'm sorry.
