I got Patricia Brigg's autograph ^___^

Of course, I was fucking stupid talking to her, but you know, whatever. I half hope I never meet Neil Gaiman, cause I'll so fucking humiliate myself it's sad. Anyway.

It's probably stupid, but lately I've been kinda happy with myself. I never was willing to eat in restaurant and stuff alone, mostly from bashfulness and stuff. But, I ate alone in the airport, and I just left the bar here in the hotel. A few years ago I never would have been that brave--and how sad that I think that's being brave. But, still. I'm usually way too bashful and shit to do it. But I did it, and had fun. I had three beers, and nachos, and the bartender was really nice and cute.

^__^ I also got a doofy book, that I will pimp later, 'cause it's across the room and I don't remember all the vitals. But it's a spoofy sort of thing, that normally I would not have bought, but the woman pimping it did an awesome job. Of course, the best part came after I bought it, when I got a free shot glass - 'If you don't like the book, then use this a few times, and it'll be much better.' A sense of humor, I can always admire ^___^

But, if one more person bashes Stephen King, my peeps may be called upon to post bail.

Now, it's only eight. What to do, what to do. I am 20-odd pages typed, and about twelve more (I totally typed that mortal the first time, wtf self?0 written ^__^ I think this fucker is turning into a novella.

I think I will go back out to the lobby and write some more.

Sammikins, I hope you are feeling a little better <3



P.S. One of my roomies (the one that is not Maile) came in while I was typing this, and she thought I'd been there the whole time. I told her no, I'd just gotten back from nachos and three beers. She said I did not look like a three beers kind of gal. I guess 'cause I'm so quiet, here. But, I'm not talkative and crap except around people I know well. Still, it's kind of funny that I appear so...serious and sober? Cause half the emails I get are addressed to Amaretto/Amasour ^_~ and any reader who has been around for five minutes knows I like my alcohol. ^___^

That's awesome. I just got into Patricia Briggs lately and am enjoying some of her stuff.

Alcohol is for the winz0r. People tell me the same thing until they see me drink and then they're always kinda shocked.

No that's incredibly brave. I have trouble going out to eat in a restaurant alone also. You did it, and in a strange place too!

It's always the quiet ones. XD

I don't like eating by myself. At all. In public or not. I use to go over to my friend's houses with food just so I could eat with someone around. I still don't like to eat alone.

Do I have to fly in and kick some ass? Fucktards.

1. i LIKE YOUR LAYOUT.
2. YOU ARE LUSH QUEEN.
3. I went clubbing and DANCED last night and that was something I had always been too shy to do before. I wish my solider had been there and I could have danced with him, but it distracted me somewhat. The alcohol helped too.
4. HURRAH FOR DOING THINGS WE DON'T NORMALLY DO.

As someone often considered brave by people who haven't seen me around bugs, doing anything contrary to normal social expectations takes bravery. And for some reason, women aren't expected to eat alone at restaurants. I still haven't gotten up the balls to drink alone at a bar :D So I'm in awe of your nacho-eating, beer-drinking bravery.

Lol, you are my favourite online author (finally some real, honest to god fantasy that isn't predictable!!) and I love reading your blog.... I like that although I willl undoubtedly never meet you, what with being countries apart, I get to find out little snippets of who you are and what you do.

Ok... that sounded a bit stalkery.... lol, anyway, please keep up the good work!!

I don't think that's stupid or sad at all. I've got horrible trouble being in public in certain situations, and going out to a busy place where it's just me can be very uncomfortable. I don't know if it would be any sort of easy for me to go out to a bar and just sit down to have something. And on the flip side, I love performance. Takes all kinds, right?

It's great that you're enjoying yourself. Glad your having such a good time ^^

Hmmm, I think I've read all but the most recent of her Mercy books and I liked them, though Werewolves aren't as much my scene as Vampires. Way to go with the Autograph, that's definitely very cool.

And I think it's awesome that you're becoming that much more self confident. Because that's what that is, enough confidence in yourself to say Eh, so what I'm by myself. I'll have a good time regardless. You go girl.
