True. Actually I'm not sure why there is a rumor going around the

school I'm subbing at that I'm gay, but I walked past two guys trying

to convince two girls I was gay last week so maybe that has something

to do with it. LOL.

You're brainy. A lot of girls think that's hot and masculine.

Well I have to second (or fifth or tenth or whatever) everyone's great

feelings about the conference and specifically meeting people from the

list. That's definitely the thing I love most about the conferences,

is just getting to be around the people in person I spend most of my

free time with every day!

There's certain interactions that are in the personal sphere that just

don't happen in the electronic sphere, but you can't replace the

intellect and shared academic interests and the foodways we share as a

group. So to have a party and get a little tipsy, while being able to

not only eat delicious sausage and whatever that kickass rosemary

thing the sausage-god made instead of chips or bar popcorn, and

to be able to still talk about academically interesting things (!) is

priceless. And if I had a Mastercard it would be maxed out anyway.

LOL.

Can't imagine that. I sure didn't get any gay vibes off of you. And back

quite a few years ago when I was young I was prime gay bait for some reason

so I've got a fair bit of experience recognizing the signs.

Sounds like they were trying to eliminate the competition to me.

Off to Seattle for a few days.

That's definitely a possibility. The other rumor I've heard is that

I'm hot. LOL.

Really? I always conceived of growling as playful. I've found myself

in a position a few times where a girl I work with or whatever and I

would growl at each other, and I always thought of it as flirting.

Maybe it depends how you do it.

True, but only in that picture. I've had beard a few times, and it

was only during my vegetarian mind-warped stage where I looked Amish.

Actually, my license picture doesn't show the half of it. I'll have

to scan some pics to send you of when I had a super-Amish beard. It's

so funny, I didn't even notice how Amish I looked until I started

eating meat. Must have been those neurological effects of B12

deficiency.

I thought I'd pop in to say that I also thoroughly enjoyed the

conference, the food, and getting to see/meet list members. I

haven't been on the list in quite a while (only because I feel ill

after sitting in front of the computer for any length of time, so

I've sadly had to cut out my . I hope I'll be back one

day.), so I hadn't read JK's posts and thus didn't experience shock

upon finding out he's a man. I didn't even meet you, JK, although I

saw you next to Lynn R when I was speaking with her and

thought, " Hmm... I wonder what JK stands for. " At least, I think

that was you. I know at some point, I saw the name tag with " JK " on

it...

I enjoyed seeing Suze and again. I don't get a gay vibe

from you either, fwiw. :-) I was disappointed I didn't see you,

!! I heard about the party on Sunday, but was too tired to join

everyone. Next year, I'll try to be there. You realize this is now

an annual tradition, don't you?! And it was fun to meet Lynn R,

Irene M, B and for the first time. I didn't get any of

's sausage, but he did share some jerky (pretty darn good, even

if it was spicy).

I thought they did a great job looking out for those of us who are

GFCF this year. Bleu cheese was on the side, rather than in the

salad. There was the option of chicken soup with or without

noodles. I write this for any of you GFCF people out there -- you

can eat freely & plentifully at the conference.

When I left on Sunday it was warm outside, and I left my leather

jacket in my hotel room. I only realized it was missing last night.

Called the hotel and they have it (thank goodness!). They said there

were about 60 leather jackets left at the hotel that weekend.

I hope I'll be back on the list before another year passes, but in

any case, I'm already looking forward to seeing everyone at next

year's conference!

Go for it! Until it salt and peppered on me, I use to wear a beard all

the time. Good for work too, so all them old folks would listen just a

little bit more to what they considered some young whippersnapper

trying to sell them something.

And don't worry, there is a nice subset of women who find the combo of

evenly trimmed beards, intellectual rigor, and a commitment to

hypertrophy <weg> nice, sexy, rugged and masculine. Bad boyish even.

If you don't think so, come to Seattle, I will be happy to show you

around :-)

I don't remember whether we left at 2:44 or that's when I got back to

my hotel room, but after you left there was an abortive sassafras

root harvesting trip among other things, so it's too bad you didn't stay.

At any rate, it was really great to finally meet you in person!

LOL. Yeah, that might be it.

Really the only time anything " gay " comes up is when they say their

assignment or their project or their class is " gay " and I tell them

that you can't judge an assignment by its sexuality and they need to

learn to respect assignments that are different from them.

Yah, when someone told me you were floating around there somewhere, I

looked for you, but never found you. At one point, I accosted some guy in

the hallway, staring at his name tag because he looked REALLY familiar and

I didn't know why. Looked at it, didn't recognize the name, apologized to

him for staring, told him why, blah blah, and we parted ways, both thinking

I'd been hallucinating.

Found out later he was related to you. (your dad?)

That 'splained that!

I'm afraid a fetching giggle is exclusively the province of your

gender, not mine. But maybe I can pull off a brainy giggle, or a

sausagey giggle.

Hoping you're being absurd right back and that you know " gay " in this

context is a judgement to the purpose of anything its applied to. You

should hear it a lot more about things than people.

Really? I'm so sorry! Of course, I still can't imagine why anyone

would have even invented, let alone buy, a wine opener like that...

Okay, you've got me there. Brainy is the image you already have <g>, and

sausagey brings up too many images that no one really wants to go into,

methinks.

I believe it was a cross between what was flying out of your eyes, followed

by my too-successful attempts to pop the cork INTO the bottle.

Next year's festivities will begin with lessons in how to use a

non-corkscrew. And quite belatedly, I apologize to all of you for not

being the proper hostess and opening the wine myself.
