and other randomments…
Jen tagged me with this “5 weird things about me” meme, so here I go. Go here for her answers.
1. I hate, hate, hate stepping in anything wet with my socks on…spilled water, the wet bath mat, tracked in snow…so I wear slippers pretty much all the time. (I refer to this as “stepping in wet.”)
2. Misused apostrophes, especially in public places such as signs at places of business or on menus, really drive me crazy.
3. I don’t have a good “porn star name” using either of the ways to devise your porn star name (first pet + first street you lived on, or first pet + mom’s maiden name). However, the second one gives me a great name for a Pink Lady. (Cookie Morelli)
4. I desperately want to be able to sing well. I can reasonably carry a tune when singing in a group or singing along with the radio, but otherwise, I completely freak out.
5. When I’m playing Scrabble, it’s very important to me that all the tiles go on the board the right way. If I’m playing with someone who puts letters upside down (we’re talking letters that are the same both ways, such as O) I MUST FIX THEM. I can’t stop myself.
Hmmm…let’s see…
annabel lee and Hilary, consider yourselves tagged!
I hear it’s Delurking week. So go ahead, de-lurk!
(in other words, leave me a comment!) 🙂
There will be more to come, like my report from GAFilk (with photos, hopefully!). Meantime, you can check out Debbie’s photos.
(Because Debbie is way cool, and took like a million photos…)
That’s Rand and me at the banquet.
Have a great day!
Hey! I’ve commented here before, but for delurking day, it’s a must-do.
Uh oh…Annabel Lee already tagged me. I apparently have homework to do!
i mean someone else (Ari) already tagged me. Damn I’m tired.
You guys are just so darned cute.
Here’s a comment for you. 🙂
It was great seeing you and Rand again! And Stephanie’s right…you guys ARE just so darned cute.
Here are a few more Erin pics, by the way:

Howdy 🙂
Hi!! *hugs* It was so wonderful to see you (and dance with you) at the con. (Does your blog have an RSS feed? I’m terrible at keeping up with them if they don’t pop up in my flist on LJ *blush*)
Damn I wish I could’ve gone. (I see you went and introduced yourself to my favorite GaFilker. Hey Rob, is Lois coming to any more? I need another bribe!) Actually, I’d probably have been there if it hadn’t been for that stupid meeting hubby had to go to the same weekend…
So, ya going next year, Erin?
Blogshy:
Lois has a lifetime membership to Gafilk and an invitation to return anytime she’d like. I might drop her an e-mail to remind her of that, but obviously it depends on her own time and resources to make the trip. (Of course, if a group of fans wanted to raise money to try and waif her to the con, well, I’m sure that wouldn’t go amiss. I bet I could even find a spare $20 or so to send towards that. :))
Good heavens but you guys are cute. 🙂
It was great to see you again. Can’t wait to see the photos you took!
Oh, and an English professor friend of mine (another Erin!) likes to comment how most people seem to think that an apostrophe means “look out, an s is coming!”
Great photo of the two of you :). Glad to hear you had fun! I do hope you’ll go back next year (when I’ll be there, too!).
All-thanks for the comments! 🙂
Debbie-great photos as always. Thanks!
Rob-I do have RSS enabled, so you should be able to pick it up on whatever reader you use.
Blogshy-I hope to go again next year…you can give me the extra incentive by saying you’ll be there! Urban Tapestry will be the guest(s?) of honor, and they are amazing! Oh, and they’re talented, too. 😉
Vixy-I laughed out loud at that. Awesome. It was great to see you, too. I hope you guys make it to FKO!
Allison-I’ll certainly do my darndest to be there!
Rob-I do have RSS enabled, so you should be able to pick it up on whatever reader you use.
Ok, so Livejournalers can now pick up this blog by friending “eringobloggy”.
Now I’m *much* more likely to notice when you update! 🙂
