Last night I went to a Meetup for Ottawa bloggers at the Clocktower.
Dani was there. It’s always good to see her smiling face, and her face was especially smiley last night*. I got to meet Kerry, Dani’s boss. (Hi Kerry! Sorry I got so tongue-tied when you asked me how things were going in the fishbowl. Because all of a sudden I didn’t know how to answer that. What did I say in response? Regardless, it was something awful and unwitty.) Chantal came out too, and I was very pleased to meet her in person. I’ve been reading her blog a relatively short time, but I’m here to say that she is just as funny in person as she is online.
I felt like I was chatting with old friends, and I guess, in a sense, I was. That’s why I love meeting fellow bloggers.
We sat at the end of a very long table, hooting with laughter for most of the evening. (Okay, maybe I was the only one hooting. I do have a loud laugh.) At one point we were talking about pregnancy tests. Chantal said “pee on a stick” about ten times (don’t worry, it was in the proper context), and there was a fellow beside our group who kept looking over at us nervously, no doubt wondering what the hell it was we were talking about.
A couple fellows took the time to come down to our end for a visit, which was cool. There was a Citizen reporter too. The conversations were all over the place, which I loved, because it satisfied The Geek Inside Me.
All in all, a good night!
* Just between you and me, did you know she’s pregnant?
