You know, even knowing who a lot of you guys are, I really don't understand what you're talking about.  Is it the air of the con doing this to you, or have I just not read enough of everyone's posts?
If I had any clue, would I be here?

I'm not sure what you're talking about. How do you know us? And more to the point (Ben is reading with me), are you single and good looking?

   I think (emphasis on think) that she means that she has been reading posts for a while, so she knows you that way. Am I right Sigyn?

She's said she's in Utah, so I have a feeling she knows a few of us irl.

So everybody just left my house. (Okay, not just. I have been taking out my Jane hair while my computer booted up.) Kinda nice to have an evening in a real house with everyone instead of at a restaurant or in a hotel room. Especially 'cause it was my house and I didn't have to take the T home really late at night, like I have the last few days. Not that it's not safe, it's just annoying. It's weird, but breakdowns have happened to me much more frequently at night on the T than during the day/rush hour.

As far as a report of the day, Brenna and I got a lot of mileage out of "Skreee!" and ninja monkeys, as there was a game called Monkeys on the Moon, which of course was a typo and should have been Ninja Monkeys on the Moon. And the doodling grew from there. Soon there was an entire Ninja Monkey Love Story.

EUOL had 2 panels today. The first one was the best panel I've been to all weekend, covering the balance between science and religious belief. I'm sure SE will cover it more thoroughly in the report, but the discussion was a good balance and very good natured. I don't know if I should admit it, but I was rather distracted by ninja monkeys during his second panel.

And the Salt Vampire (thanks Brenna) struck my house during dinner, but we all survived, for rather than destroy us all, he chose to do the dishes instead. (Thanks, and thanks Tage for more dish duty.)

I may bring cake leftovers for lunch tomorrow. First come, first served.

Um, in reply, I'm married and not good looking, but I know some you from TLE from years ago, that and I'm in EUOL's writing group.  Do Salt Vampires always do the dishes?
If I had any clue, would I be here?

You'd have to ask EUOL about that.

Hey EUOL,

I tried to log in to your website to start fixing spelling and such, and I got this message:

"You could not be logged in! Either the username and password do not match or you have not validated your membership!
Please try again!"

Someone is very exclamation point happy.  Also, I can't log in (as you can tell).  Help, please.

Everything is case sensitive Brenna, you're log in name is lower case.  Dono your password since it's encrypyted in the data base.  If trying the lowercase dosen't work e-mail me (my address is in my forum profile) with what password you want so I can put it in.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!
