Don't be sorry, I actually like it, most of the times (except when I hang up on some really mean and angry lady when I try to put her on hold) and I get to speak with people from all across Canada, and many are really nice. It's just...well... different.

But please, keep petting, me likes it!

*snicker* actually I was just thinking I liked your goofy sliding off the couch kitty better!

School starts in a week, so I'll bring it back then! Working full time and having two night classes at University makes the slouching avatar necessary (At least I'll feel a little like I'm resting!)

As far as meeting famous people goes, does it count if all you've done is bump into them (literally)?

badgoodDeb · 08-26-2009, 07:11 PM

Most definitely that counts!! Who have you bumped into?

AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!

Must admit I like the challenge though...

challenge is good : i'd much rather be challenged than bored ! i'm glad to hear things are going well (even if it's a bit overwhelming).

belly rub access : granted !

as for me, i just finished up a long-overdue email for a top-secret project i'm working on which may or may not have something to do with someone on this forum.

and now i'm thinking of having a glass of wine and watching tv for an hour and then BED.

Michael Palin & Bill Oddie

Michael Palin was on a side street in London - I side stepped to avoid some beefy looking chap who couldn't walk in a straight line, and walked straight into him; and Bill Oddie I elbowed in a bookshop (again in London, and roughly the same area) - that was his fault as he'd got a bit too close to the till I was at, so was within striking range when I got my purse out my bag...

zelda_pinwheel · 08-26-2009, 07:33 PM

you bumped into michael palin !!!!

you lucky girl !!! i hope you said "excuse me, but i'd like to register a complaint"

and bill oddie too... i wouldn't recognise him probably unless i heard him talk but then again he probably doesn't use that falsetto in daily life.

badgoodDeb · 08-26-2009, 07:46 PM

Sorry, she mumbles .... and goes off to google both names.....

Ok -- first face recognized, second - er, not so much.

ShortNCuddlyAm · 08-26-2009, 08:12 PM

I was actually too tongue-tied to do much but stutter an apology!

i might not have managed even that much.

Ryleigh and I were running (literally) to catch a plane at Reagan Washington National Airport and ran right by Al Franken getting his shoes shined!

We went to the wrong airport first (Dulles International) and thought we wouldn't make our flight at Washington National. As it turned out, the flight was delayed for over an hour so we made it in plenty of time. We decided to buy a snack (it seems to be a theme with Ryleigh and I

) and Franken got in line right behind us. I don't think much of his politics but I thought he was funny on SNL.

See how arguing all these years trained you well!

But it took years out of my life...

nomesque · 08-26-2009, 08:37 PM

Know what I'm doing right now? Pondering what the hell it is in my psyche that causes me to want to do more and more stuff, all the time. Here's what I'm currently juggling:

- fulltime work
- marriage
- toddler
- writing fiction
- tweeting about free online fiction
- tweeting about free ebooks
- blogging about tweeting about free fiction

And I'm sure there're a few things I've forgotten

I met Bernard Landry and Jacques Pariseau, two of my favorite Quebec Prime Ministers.
