We had a lovely time in Tempe, and nearly empty flights in either direction. It was hot, but not as hot as it's been, so that was nice. Tired now. I didn't attend the con, and sold my membership to someone who really wanted to go but the con was sold out. However, I was stalked by fake Terry Pratchett through much of the weekend. Nin is now an official member of the Thieves Guild and has a certificate to prove it. She now needs an official thief name - I suggested Ninja Piglet Sticky Fingers, but she didn't like that for some reason [g] Jen and Nin drank every drop of Ginger Margarita in the hotel, so when I went to get one Sunday evening they were all out! [curses them] I do have to say that the mix of ASU football boosters and costumed Discworld fen was something you don't see every day. People watching the various groups was fascinating.
On another note entirely, why is it that those who bean count every comment they receive on their LJ and demand participation (there's probably a flowchart involved somewhere)rarely comment on your LJ? It always amuses me no end.
So I'm putting all you lurkers on notice! You better step it up, people, and meet the quota or you're GONE! I'm laying down the law. I don't care if you're dealing with RL issues or haven't been around much, it's no excuse! You will perform, damn it!
[snorfle]
So, you all do know I'm kidding, right? K [g] I love it when people pop out of lurkdom and comment, but I will never cut someone from my f'list because I haven't heard from you in a while. I know we all have lives that can make it hard to keep up some days. Though if you disappear for too long, I might DM you to make sure you're okay [g]

Except I can't comment even a little bit because I'm so suck I don't even respond to comments all the time in my own LJ, let alone commenting in other peoples, but I will defriend you only over my cold dead account because you're awesome.

like, really quiet.
and hey, i could "comment" a thousand times with a smiley face or a one word answer... and my comment count would go up. but that's silly.

The few sips I had of theirs were yummy!
They say a picture is worth a thousand words...
Date: 2009-09-08 11:23 pm (UTC)From:I humbly offer this photograph in lieu of commentary. (lately I have had no idea what to say on any subject, not even "What do you want for supper")
I'm so jealous you got to go to a con and meet a fake Terry Pratchett. It kinda makes me want to go out and find a fake Neil Gaiman, then we could get them together and make them write us a fake sequel to "Good omens"
and I have a suggestion for a thief name, "The Purple Shadow"

Date: 2009-09-09 07:17 am (UTC)From:ooh! Nin is a ninja thief now? how cool. yeah, your ninja thief name needs work, if she was any good as a ninja thief then the ninja thief part would remain unsaid yet still understood. So, like Piglet Stickyfingers would work. Or something non-Pooh related, cause Piglet isn't really scary-thiefy-ninja-y enough.
That's no fair! I can't kick people off my f-list for not taking polls, cause I haven't figured out to have polls...can I even have polls on an unpaid account?

Date: 2009-09-09 07:55 pm (UTC)From:Ninja piglet is something we call her mostly to annoy her. I think it started when she wore her Pooh embroidered dress when we went out to play pool one night.
No, no polls on unpaid accounts :)
