New location, same old bantering...
So my ingenious plan of anonymity simply by putting this blog into a subdirectory of the domain that everybody and their mothers are aware of wasn't so ingenious afterall. StatCounter revealed one long 2 hour visit from my home country... and that scared me enough to delete the whole thing and resort to the true anonymity of Blogger.
So there. All archives imported... and unfortunately all previous comments are lost to the public now. There are still a few minor design glitches that I am working on, so bear with me. Thank you for emailing me for the URL update, thank you for your interest.
And inbetween sweating buckets over any of my Austrian acquaintances having possibly found my and uncovered my ingenious cover of the subdirectory (*rolls eyes at self*), a whole lot has happened.
What's more amazing for you to know... that my sister and I came out to each other today over IM, and that it wasn't awkward at all, and that I wasn't the least bit surprised that she is "of my kind" as well?
Or that last night one of the girls I've been emailing with actually called me?
Yeah, let's talk about that, because I am still amazed. :)
Of course I left my cell phone in the car so that's where it was when I received her call. She left me a message. A long message. She sounds really nice, and something in the way she talks reminds me of the way Jo talks... (ugh).
Anyways. I was all giddy listening to her message, informing me that she was waiting on a friend's phone call on which was depending on whether or not she would come and watch me perform at our Cinco de Mayo show last night. I let the Fiancé listen to it, and he was all smiles and proud of me, and I got so edgy for him to finally finish listening to it, that I almost yanked the phone from his hands the second he was done, and called her number without even giving it a second thought.
Need I remind you that I am phonophobic, and avoid calling people at all costs, even if I know and befriend them?`
Yeah.
She picked up. We talked. The Fiancé grinned. I was elated.
We ended our short conversation with her promising that she would call me back as soon as she would know about her friend... and in the end she did call and left me another message, sounding a bit bummed out because apparently her friend never called, and she waiting around for that phone call too long, and by then it was too late for her to come.
I was a bit bummed out, sure... I would have liked to meet her. But the way she talked on the second message left no doubt that she wasn't just flaking out, but really still wanted to meet me sometime, and she suggested the weekend, mayhaps. I emailed her back today, suggesting tonight's show...
She said on her first message that she had already made plans for Friday before, but that they weren't 100% sure yet. So I am patiently waiting it out. If it's anything like yesterday, she will call me around 7:30pm. This time I plan on picking up... really. ;)
