I think I write emails the same way that I chat, so you'd probably get to know me better via email than blog. I guess my blog is just so book-centric that other aspects of my personality don't come out as much. But it's still such an important part of me that I think it would be a good starting point.<br /><br />I'd love to meet you :-)Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2334661649017600963.post-16089466053591130902010-02-07T10:42:31.551-04:002010-02-07T10:42:31.551-04:00Kelly, this was such a fun, rambly post! :D
Chris...Kelly, this was such a fun, rambly post! :D<br /><br />Chris was just exactly like he is on-line. No, I take that back...he's even more wonderful in person, though that seems impossible to believe, because he's so perfectly wonderful on-line! I'm afraid in person, to most people, I'd seem different. Because I'm just get so tongue-tied and am so socially inept. I think I just find it so much easier to "talk" on-line than I do face-to-face. <br /><br />This is how I picture you: sweet, with the perfect touch of bite...intelligent...sometimes laid-back, sometimes restless, sometimes outgoing, sometimes happier to be left alone...loves reading (duh!) and learning and animals and her friends...<br />So, how am I doing?

My online persona is a lot perkier and more outgoing than my "just meeting a new person" reality (although I tend to get really yappy, once you get to know me). It can be a little weird. Maybe it helps to talk to people by phone like Chris does, first. I didn't talk to one of those people by phone until I was in town and I just emailed the other to arrange a time and place to meet. <br /><br />The one person I spoke to before I met him was Simon Van Booy and he's just got such an incredibly huge personality that it's fine to be a quiet, shy person around him. He draws you out. So, I guess it depends a little on both people? I'll betcha Chris is like that -- so much fun that it doesn't matter if you have the personality of a rock. I don't regret meeting any of those people, even if one made me feel like a toad. It's better to meet people than to let the opportunity pass by.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2334661649017600963.post-65327328909200113972010-02-06T08:30:35.993-04:002010-02-06T08:30:35.993-04:00Oooh, drivers like that drive me absolutely batty!...Oooh, drivers like that drive me absolutely batty!!<br /><br />I don't know if I'm how I portray myself to be on my blog and twitter and stuff in real life. Hmm. That's an interesting thought. Probably not, because online either consciously or unconsciously all seem to filter ourselves to show only what we want to show - it's not as easy to do that IRL. Hmm.Courthttp://books.moonsoar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2334661649017600963.post-1336238492106645262010-02-06T06:48:53.179-04:002010-02-06T06:48:53.179-04:00no surprises here either..

I really am OLD! lots of wrinkles and grey hair.. <br />Should you meet any fellow bloggers you probably would be just fine as you already have plenty to talk about and have in common with all your books! I found that out when I went to trek conventions..you wind up enjoying just about everyone because you all have this same feeling about something.. I hope you get to meet some computer friends one day!DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2334661649017600963.post-67451982931404107352010-02-06T04:02:47.997-04:002010-02-06T04:02:47.997-04:00I have HORRIBLE road rage...I can totally relate t...I have HORRIBLE road rage...I can totally relate to idiot drivers getting on your nerves :p <br /><br />I have a picture of you in my head and I totally think you'd be just how I imagine you :p I've met Debi and Rich and Amanda and Jason and I've talked to Pat on the phone and they're all just how I imagined they would be. Like EXACTLY how I imagined they would be! I think we all read each other pretty well! I write on my blog pretty much exactly how I am and I write like I talk, so you'd have no surprises with me :pchrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2334661649017600963.post-64290563110714127212010-02-06T00:23:15.394-04:002010-02-06T00:23:15.394-04:00Maybe others would disagree, but I think that the ...Maybe others would disagree, but I think that the way I am on my blog (and in emails, on facebook, on twitter, etc) is exactly how I am in real life. I don't know how to put on a face or a mask of any sort.<br /><br />Also, I don't think of you as this happy small town girl. Maybe it's just because we've talked in emails and such, but I have a very different idea of you as a cynical blunt person. I hope that doesn't sound mean because I don't mean it to - I love when people are cynical and blunt!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.com
