"we've met!" list continues to grow!

I am certainly no social butterfly... though I can do pretty well in small groups... which is why my fortnightly Bloody Mary Mafia sessions work so much better for me than, say, that rather overwhelming Tweet-Up we had last week! But hey, the bottom line is I'm meeting people here in Springfield, and slowly but surely feeling like I have a social life. Yay?


Here are some folk I'd like to add to the "We've Met!" blogroll:

• @bluefox864 A lifesaver at the Tweet-Up, a regular Bloody Mary Mafioso, and I'm pretty sure he has a (neglected) blog...
  
• @delami713 one of the first persons & familiar face I ran to (almost literally) at the Tweet-Up, and a regular Bloody Mary Mafioso.
  
• @inkedgiff A lifesaver at the Tweet-Up
• @JSpaghetti blogs at Jeannette Eats Spaghetti
  
• @lilbarmes A lifesaver at the Tweet-Up
• @lisawhelpley blog at Lisa's By The Book Blog and is a member of Springfield Moms
• @matthew_ryan A lifesaver at the Tweet-Up, and blogs at The Horseshoe
  
• @mochamomma well MochaMomma's already on the list, but I've got to give a shoutout to her because she has been instrumental in my not being a total social recluse. Seriously. Thanks dearie!!
• @RoddWhelpley hubby to @lisawhelpley
• @thejeffnevins A lifesaver at the Tweet-Up, and is a member of m4bk
  
• @thepatrick75 Saw him in his skivvies well before officially meeting, LoL! He was Brad in the Rocky Horror Show, and is a member of m4bk, and *gasp!* has a MySpace page.
  

.. and I say "like to add" because, well, as you can see, many of them are Twitterers but not necessarily bloggers. A sign of the times!! No problem, I'll just populate two overlapping lists: the "We've Met!" blogroll on this blog's sidebar, and the WeHaveMet Twitter list.

And actually I've "met" more folk at the Tweet-Up, but didn't really have much chat time, so in my mind they don't count.

Yet.

My objective is to add lots more names to both lists -- always quality over quantity! -- ... preferably without assaulting my default introvertedness too much! :D

Wish me (good) luck with that...

btw, there's an impromptu tweet-up tonight (brainchild of Jeanette!) in combination with the CD release party of a local band, Music for Big Kids (@m4bk). And that photo? Proof that I'm studying for it. Yes, I'm a freak.

Have a great weekend!

Long lost pals - found!

A *wave* to SG aka SnglGuy and Omni!!

These are two bloggers from my early years in the blogosphere.

• SG was someone you could reply on to leave a comment on almost every post you had, it was so heartening, encouraging and gratifying! He had moved from blogspot to his own domain, then pleaded burnout, if I remember correctly, then... nothing. A while ago I checked his site and saw it was no longer his. I have wondered how SG was doing, how life was treating him, and how he was channeling his observations / rants / moved to The Incurable Pessimist. It's great to "see" you again, SG! Glad you've been visiting me, even if silently! :)


• Omni wrote very long treatises on deep spiritual perspectives, the nature of karma, and the like at Every Topic in the Universe(s?). I admit that many times I would end up skimming her posts, because, this woman could write for many many many page downs worth! :D She called it quits a long time ago, and when I decided to take down the mega long blogroll on this blog, I didn't want to lose her blog addy, so I punched the RSS into my GoogleReader just because... and whaddaya know? She's started posting again! Yay! Welcome back, Omni! You have been missed!
