La Vie De TKP crossover with Sue's Country Livin'
So, these past three days I was in Austin, and whaddaya know, there was
crazydiamondsue! Although there was not Sueage as I had originally intended to write because I surreptitiously leaned very close and got a whiff and can faithfully report to you all that she smells nothing like sewage. And I also met
elcazavampiros, and tried very hard not to call him Caza. He was tall, fun to talk to, and Anya-loving, and had a shiny metal. Both Sue and I suggested he put it in a drawer and wear the hardness about his eyes. Because it's one of the best lines in fiction ever! But instead he had to wear it a lot. And I wore the cowboy hat he got with shiny fringe! That was after the margaritas.
So, flist & Curious Others, here is the REAL skinny on Sue, in case you've been wondering from someone IN THE KNOW (*gratuitous winking*). She didn't put a bag over my head and drag me off into a mysterious forest to have her way with me (except for that one time), and she's cute, with curly hair, and a good dresser, very color coordinated, with orange. She's also funny and witty and able to quote "The Yoko Factor", and laughs appropriately when I quote things, and did cheese-stick theater except with remotes. She's also smart and insightful and honest and talktoable about stuff, though stuff always makes its way back to Buffy or Angel or Xander or Anya or Hot, which is a good thing, and she taught me how to pronounce various lj names, which was nice but caused my whole world view to tilt.
I lugged her out to meet my brother and sister-in-law, which in retrospect wasn't the best idea because they can't talk Buffy. But we did see the Poncho Guitar Statue Guy with the ducks, and then we saw bats. See, there's this ritual in Austin where a bunch of tourists congregate under a bridge and turn their faces up towards the sky, lips parted, with a kind of worshipful stance, gazing toward Gotham Tower where Mr. Freeze lives. And then, of a sudden, there is a cloud of smoky dark up from under a bridge, and out swooping come eleventyseventbajillionandone bats, to rival the bat cave bats and then some. Then everyone starts doing under-the-bridgey things like sex and booze and murder and jazzercise and building fires in trashcans while Michael Keaton, Adam West, and Christain Bale fight naked slathered in guano. Okay, it's possible I kinda embellished that last part; there might not have been actual jazzercise. But I HEARD it.
So, in conclusion. Sue is the Sue I knew except cooler, and also with brighter eyes and smaller feet. Caza is a Very Important Person who goes to blowing bubble conferences.
dovil is pronounced Doovil. I make the bestest cookies this side of Oklahoma; lots of people said hi to me on Sue's journal which Sue relayed and to which I say hi back; B/A spit is worth the wait, and I had a really nice time.
Except for the headache and fever and puking.
ETA: I feel much better now. It was a thing that hit especially hard that first night but kinda slithered off after that. I thought it was food poisoning but others I ate with that night have since said they're convinced it was a small virusy thing. I guess we wait until Sue gets back to find out if I infected her or Caza. Fun!

But yes - the medal quote was mucho-quoted. Both for love of quote, and because Caza had to wear the thing for the entire conference. I also quoted

But I am so glad you had a wonderful time.
And if you had said that after all those bats came out, you saw Dick Greyson, I might have driven down to you straightaway. The fact that some people think he is only pen-and-ink is their problem.
I have a drabble up. Go back a day and you'll find it.
My favrite mispronunciation of a user name was spicedrum. I was convinced it was spice-drum because I am an idiot.
no subject
If I edit the post and add Dick, will you come see me?
What's funny is when I first glanced at that I read spice-drum too. I think there must be a lot of names I mispronounce.
I'm off to read.

And thanks! Cheese is good.

I frequently pronounce things wrong in my head if I've never heard them before, so I suspect I'm very wrong on some username pronunciations. I also thought dovil was pronounced differently. When I first saw "meme" I imagined it like memo but with an "e" sound at the end, when it really should be meeeeem (or something like that).
Now I want to go to Austin for the bats and jazzercize!!!
I am glad to hear you're feeling better!
no subject
For real? I've always pronounced it like mem-ee, similar to how you imagined it.
Huh. Oh well, I still think I'm right and everyone else is WRONG WRONG WRONG. *g*

So sorry you were sick. It sounds like it might have been food poisoning, if it was for one night only.
no subject
The only thing is that if it was, it took a day in a half to set in (considering who I ate with when, I mean). But anyway I'm just glad it's gone!
no subject
It's always fun to read the stories of how LJ-ers meet and this was no exception! Sounds like you guys have a great time!
And, I'm glad you're feeling better!

What's this about a

Caza got it from some conference. He also got bubbles and a clapper thing. The clapper thing was sooo much fun, but I very intrepidly didn't steal it. Sue couldn't blow the bubbles and then she said, "but I'm usually such a good blower!"
no subject
So glad that virus thing lasted only 8 hours or so, it sounds horrible.
no subject
It was horrible! I'm so glad it's over. I think. I feel poorly this morning. Ahhhhh!

Then everyone starts doing under-the-bridgey things like sex and booze and murder and jazzercise and building fires in trashcans while Michael Keaton, Adam West, and Christain Bale fight naked slathered in guano. Hahahahaha! It's like I was there! Oh, man, I totally forgot about Jazzercise.
You still look like your LJ icon to me. *wears orange 4-eva* I am home and Caza's medal is in a drawer, but the hardness? Yes. Still around his eyes. (See how I avoided that double entendre there?)

Hahahahaha! It's like I was there! Oh, man, I totally forgot about Jazzercise.
Now I'm picturing all the Batmans standing in a line jazzercising.
I think it's funny I still look like my icon. And you so didn't avoid the double entendre because I was holding my breath after the question mark kind of afraid to read the next line.

Hope your further travels are as loverly.
