A success, I think. (Take that, Superman and Jaws!) Last time I benefited from Th. being in town and everyone coming to meet him, and this time I benefited from Tolkien Boy leaving town and everyone coming to say goodbye to him. It's nice to have friends who are so well-liked (and for good reason, I might add). As far as I could tell, none of the people who came to see Th. or TB were opposed to seeing me too, so I can't complain.
People who need to be added to my "Fobs Who Have Attended a Blog Party" list (when I have time to make changes):
Rachel
Skylark
Marcia
Optimistic
People who I would add if they had blogs (and I knew of them):
James (who has a blog but doesn't write on it)
Lika and Baby K
Ron and Marybeth
Dec
The nice girl who was with the group that stayed after everyone else left
The girl who arrived with Optimistic
Melyngoch's and my friends from the Morris Center
The guy who came to buy our dresser
(Have I forgotten anybody? Tell me quickly so I can fix it before anyone notices.)
I would have done a live blogging thing so everyone could report on the party as it happened, but we sold our desk this morning, so our computer is precariously perched on a pile of boxes, and our apartment is generally a big mess.
As I was telling Absent-minded Secretary tonight, seeing all these friends together made me sad to think that I'm leaving. I hope we can all still read each other's blogs, even if it takes a few more milliseconds for the electrons to get to Utah from Seattle. And there will, of course, be blog parties in Seattle. All are invited.
The curse of blog readers is that I have now noticed your list and will be notified of any changes you make hereafter.
ReplyDeleteAnd the futon is a go, though I should be miffed that I had dibs on the couch.
I don't think anyone said goodbye to me, actually, though a few tried. Looks like it was all you.
ReplyDeleteGlad you all had a good time!
ReplyDeleteSo does Svoid attend these parties? And what about his GF, Yodame? Seems like she wouldn't want to miss the 'experience' which would probably be a new one for her.
And was this the 'Marcia' that I know or another one?

whom was on the couch next to Nocture and Skylark.
aka "The nice girl who was with the group that stayed after everyone else left." I knew her real name, but not her blog name. Thanks, 3M.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhH!!! I missed the blog party. When will I see you again?
ReplyDeleteThe girl who arrived with Optimistic also responds to "Alyssa." Regrettably, she doesn't have a blog of her own (at least, not one she's telling us about).
