Since taking the leap about a year, maybe two years ago? Can't remember - to put up actual photos of myself on Twitter, Instagram and this site, I've made it easier for you to recognize me, which I appreciate.
I have bus buddies and train buddies. But here's the thing, please don't feel like you need to all of a sudden change your routine if we've chatted, or feel obligated to sit with me. Those of you who worked up the nerve to introduce yourselves may have noticed, especially on the bus, I have people who I know offline who will chat with me and I feel bad, because now I'm probably ignoring you. This has happened a few times. Although I know you've said you didn't mind, I do. I can't help but feel bad.
I love having buddies. It's such a lovely community of people who exist in this GO train village we've built.
As of now, some of my closest and dearest friends are people who I met on the train.
I really think some kind of get together is long overdue -- where I pick a place, hire a band and invite all of you to come.
I just worry no one would have the nerve to show up, and then I have to call my mom, crying, and my mom then has to call my cousin and beg him to go to the party and have a dance with me, and pretend like he's my boyfriend.
You know, kind of like prom? Yeah .... so ...
I just worry that so many people will show up, the Fire Department will come and shut us down! Ha ha ha!
ReplyDeleteIf this shindig were to happen, I'd come. We're overdue for drinking anyway.
And yes, I'll drive you home afterwards!
^ You're so kind.
ReplyDeleteI really believe, then, it would be just you and I, Bicky, slow dancing with arms on each other's shoulders, swaying side to side in a circle to "Crazy for you" by Madonna like we're in the 7th grade.
I would so be there. Strictly to take the pictures!
ReplyDeleteYou went to prom with your cousin?!!!
ReplyDeleteActually I didn't go to prom.
ReplyDeleteI went to an all schools high school. I didn't get the point. Afterward, I heard it was just one big mammary fest anyway.
I have no regrets.
My husband on the other hand, he did the whole shebang - limo, hotel, booze, tuxedo, corsage, some after party at some rich kid's house with a kegger and rented sound system.
It sounded amazing but I never was that kind of girl.
Squiggles, if it happens - the job is yours!
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteBlackmail, here I come!
If I attended the party then I'd have to give up my anonymous coward identity! Mind you, if there's booze...
ReplyDeleteA speech is mandatory! Also be sure to invite Bruce and Greg ;)
ReplyDeleteI would just be worried about the trolls showing up since its a public blog. But other than that it sounds like a grand idea!
ReplyDeleteThe crazy comments just caused me to spit Coke Zero out my nose! But totally worth it!
ReplyDeleteGuys ... trolls don't leave the basement.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who could "bounce" the event for me. He's built like a dude who should be tossing logs in a highlands game and has the accent to match. In other words, he'd beat us all in a game of caber toss.
I'd be there! With bells on! To thank you for all you have done to make my days brighter and my commutes shorter :)
