PDA

View Full Version : Admit it here before TAM2

OK, the more socially nervous in the group are probably breaking out in a sweat at the thought of TAM2. Sure it will be fun, but it will be 500 people for gosh sakes!

As we remember, last year the young lady we thought was just coming to the meeting with wet hair wrapped in a tshirt was Elizabeth Smart.

So, if you have some dark secret (like you are being brain washed by your kidnapper) please inform us now.

That way you won't be nervous about people saying "Bob Keeshan! I didn't know you were Shemp!"

or "Jeff, your sex change job is one of the more interesting I've seen. Think about sueing the doctor?"

or "USA, geez, you just splashed nose blood all over me dude!"


me, I'm old and fat, and people like to compare me to Barbara Bush (thanks......). I'm sweet and married to a guy much better looking than me (I think that's what they mean....I never like the senior bush myself).

now, no pointing and saying, "OMG, she's OLD" or I'm crawling out from under the registration table and hiding curled up in the tub in my room.

Me? I don't, in real life, speak in iambic pentameter. Much. Nor limericks. Much. I will likely be quieter there than here, unless my evil twin shows up, in which case all bets are off. Quiet or not, I do intend to collect all the skepchick hugs that have been promised in PMs. You know who you are.

That was a good laugh. Thanks.

Then there might be,
"Renata, how come we never see you and Cleopatra in the same room together, and you look the same but for different colored hair and accents?"



(And Mercutio, while I'm looking at it, I have to say I love that avatar. I keep shouting "waving lines" at my screen, but I can never get it right. I'll keep trying. Perhaps some more electric shocks might help.)

Well, I'll be the one that looks like Monica Lewinsky's homely sister and my hubby will be the guy that looks like a short Drew Carey. No deep dark secrets, although I am very socially inept. So when I start saying dorky things, remember, I mean well. :)

I don't dance either :)

Will you be taking your smelly feet to the Wild About Mars event this weekend?

I learned, I just haven't danced in over ten years because it wasn't someting my ex wanted to do. So if I do any dancing, it'll probably be the dorkiest thing anyone has ever seen...

As for dancing, my wife, like KittyNH, will tell you that I cannot dance. I will readily admit I cannot dance. I am also probably too tall for Luciana Nery, and too short for Cleopatra. So this is just to put all skepchicks on warning; none of that matters. Be prepared to be thoroughly embarrassed by someone who really doesn't give a rat's patootie about looking like a fool. G6, care to dance?

I don't dance. Unless I'm really, really drunk. Or a hottie wants to slow dance.

You know that Steve Irwin guy on TV with the crocodiles? He's an example of a very shy Australian. Most of us are a bit more animated and excitable.

Crikey, did I really write that?
:au:

I will be easy to recognise. I am short sighted, so I will be the one taking a very close look at the skepchicks' name tags.

That and my khaki shorts.

1. Despite all my assertions to the contrary I will not actually be speaking to any of you at TAM2 such is the level of my shyness.

2. I have shaved the mustache I have worn for 13 years. It's too late for me to grow it out by TAM2. Please ignore any breakouts on my upper lip.

3. I will not be kicking anyone's a** at TAM2. My body is currently so frail and out of shape that a misguided backslap could bring me to my knees. Please treat me with care.

4. I will not be marrying anyone at TAM2. My claims about my implending nuptuals to Cleo and Charo were just to make me seem like a big man.

5. Despite the rumors I am not rooming with Kitty and Pool Boy so my nose bleeds could provide the necessary sacrificial substances for their weird Pagan rituals.

6. Moe and I have done nothing more than exchange a few polite PMs and the facade we helped create about a hook up was nothing more than a practical joke we played on other forum members. I do appreciate her sense of humor for going along with it.

7. I have inappropriately erotic dreams about the Bad Astronomer. I hope I can avoid any uncomfortable moments with him at TAM2.

I guess that's it for now...

I love to dance, but alas, Nyarlathotep does not like to do so and sadly isn't very good at it the few times I have managed to force him onto a dance floor. I don't dance well either, but I am quite happy to just move around a lot. :-)

Chani, all skepchicks are beautiful no matter what their age and size. And trust me on this, in France, the guys would go nuts over you. I'm a big sized girl myself, and one thing missing in France is woman with REAL boobs. Makes one a popular gal.

I don't know how the skepdudes imagine me, Mercutio. :D Probably not even with fishnets, I don't know. :)

If I'm supposed to admit to something, here it goes... I have had my heart broken, no, shattered, in the past couple of months. I'm much to blame, much of it I brought it unto myself. Therefore, going to TAM will be a much needed brake. I was expecting to take someone with me, but instead I'll be on my own. I'll be rooming with wonderful skepchicks, and I'll have interesting conversations, and I'll be in Vegas, so, despite the difficulties, everything will be fine. :)

Luciana, I'm so glad you are coming. I started this thread so that people could just come and be themselves, not worry about what people are going to say or think about them. The important thing is just being together, we're kind of like a family.

A strange, diverse, slightly nerdy, at times fueding, but always accepting and ultimatly united family.

Bring your problems, bring your less then perfect bodies, bring your personality disorders, but most of all just bring yourself!

Damn you Britney! Damn you! Damn you! Damn you! The marriage thing was my schtick! I can't believe that little undersexed tart stole my angle!

To be honest about my shyness. I haven't been to a dentist all year due to overtime at work and sleep schedules. My breath is attrocious. I shall bring (or purchase) Binaca and sugar free gum, but I can't make any guarentees. Keep back from me 5 feet at all times and under no circumstances try to tongue kiss me.

Seriously though... if the reek of my gums churns your stomach then back away or give me some other subtle sign. My appearance is odius enough, I don't wish for my bouquet to be so as well.

>Sigh<

I guess there's no need for me to reveal any of my deep dark secrets here, since I won't be able to attend TAM2. Kitty advises that the scars and burns, and some of the fractures, will heal better if I stay put rather than doing any travelling. (Also, she thinks there may be some new and highly contagious infection on my face, near the mouth area, so if I were to go out in public she said she'd need to cover that area very securely with lots of tape to prevent exposure.)

So, like I said, no need to reveal any of my secrets. But this does seem like a good opportunity to reveal one of Kitty's biggest secrets:

=> KittyNH has more cats than anyone else I've ever known <=

-(And that's saying a lot, because I've known people who were well into the double digits, felinewise.)-

These are not just everyday cats, either! I think she may have several ordinary cats upstairs, but these that she keeps in the basement are a special breed which I've never seen before.

These cats are all very small -- mostly about the size of kittens. They have adorable tiny feet. The light's kind of dim down here, so I can't make out colors very well, but most of them look to be gray or brown. They have very pretty (albeit small) faces, and a very intelligent look in their eyes.

The most distinctive thing about them, though, is their tails! I have never seen cats with tails like these before!

Now I confess I am partial to big fluffy tails such as Maine Coon cats have, and often feel a little sorry for cats with lesser tails. But these tails are so long and so skinny that it almost makes up for the relative furlessness. Some of the tails are longer than the cats!

These cats are extremely shy. Most cats I've known (and I've known a lot) take a liking to me very quickly. (I think it's the nutritional-yeast aroma in my sweat. Many cats are especially fond of nuzzling my armpits.) But none of Kitty's cats has let me pick them up yet, or even come close enough for me to pet them. They seem to be interested in me, though, and occasionally if I sit very still one will come over within a few feet of me, stand on its hind legs, and stare up at me. (And sometimes they scamper over me when they think I'm sleeping.)

I commented to Kitty that it must be expensive feeding so many cats, even ones as small as these cats are, and she said that it would be except that her visitors help out with that. I asked if maybe I could help feed them (since I love feeding cats, and it's often a good way to get shy cats to become less skittish). Kitty said that some day I could, but that Jedi isn't finished yet.

"Oh!" I exclaimed. "Jedi is here too? Maybe I could talk with him!" I was very excited by this. I had been saddened to discover that Jedi left the forum this past summer while I was away, especially as I never got to say goodbye, so I was delighted to think I might get another chance to talk with him.

Kitty laughed that special laugh of hers, the one that always conjures up images of weeds and fruit**. She said Jedi doesn't have much to say these days, but that she'd see that the two of us got to spend some time together soon. In fact, she said, she was thinking that maybe when she goes away to TAM 2 would be a good time to do that, as she was worried about what might happen if she left me alone and unattended down here. (That's Kitty -- always thinking about others and planning ahead!)

Kitty said she had some special plans for many of you at TAM2, but that I shouldn't spoil the surprise by giving any hints. Whatever she has in mind, I'm sure it will be a lot of fun!

So have a great time at TAM2, everyone! I look forward to meeting you another time.

These are a special breed of cats, called the Swamp Yankee Rat Cat. On a superficial glance, they appear to be Norway Rats (rattus or mus decumanus) , but they are really cats (felix familiaris).

6th January 2004, 09:55 AM
What my dear friend Nova Land did not mention is that he is kindly house sitting for me while I am gone. Between his vigilant eyes guarding the basement (Jedi can't help, as right now he is practicing his "eyeless sight" magic trick, sadly without much success) - and the GUARD DOGS outside that will bite anyone that steps foot in the yard (even someone coming FROM the house), and devour them, I'm sure the place will be safe.

I will be sure to bring back some lovely souvenier for Nova Land as a thank you. And maybe some extra rations. In the meanwhile just keep drinking that water from the special pet container (it says "leave your cat for the weekend!"), and if I leave out a big bag of Friskies I'm sure you and Jedi can work out a rationing system. Thanks so much for helping out Nova! He's the greatest!

Sorry, an homage to princess bride is never out of place.

Oh, and glee and I rigged the chess match, too.


PS And for the unfortunate souls who mentioned dancing- I love dancing. As long as any witnesses and my partner are blind, mute, wear steel toed boots, have an orthopedist on speed dial and terrific health insurance. But I really do like to dance :) Desire and talent sadly do not correlate in this instance.

Oh, well, what should I say.

I´m rather shy, once I´m taling to someone in person. That is, until I warm up to people.


However, I´ll have to warn you. There are three topics that I will, if given the chance, talk about endlessly.

1) My writing
2) Role-playing games - especially my role-playing game
3) my elbow injury (and this is a long story!)


Mention these topics at you own risk!

OK, I'll admit I'm jeolous of all this dance talk. I mean, I go to TAM I and theres lots of talk of dancing, but when the time comes for the party all the skepchicks "aren't feeling well" or are "too tired". But now I'm not going to TAM II and what happens. I don't meet any of your expectations, but these guys come along and its "Oh, lets get ready to par - tay".

* mutters to self "Better be dancing at TAM III"*

Theres the admission of a non-TAM IIer

Time to reveal another of kittynh's deep, dark secrets: sometimes she is less than truthful. For example, in the very first post of this thread, she says

Kitty is neither old nor fat. Having met her, I can attest that she is an attractive and delightful person.
And I'm not just saying that to get an extra bowl of gruel, either!
"Old" is, of course, somewhat subjective. But I don't see how anyone can reasonably be considered old who isn't at least 10 years older than me.

You? :rr:

Do you know how old am I? I was born in 69BC.

My only confession is ...

... I'm skinny. In fact, I'm probably even scrawny. I'm 5'8" and a bit, and I only weigh 130 pounds when wearing light shoes and clothing.

Lack of the necessary body-fat also means I get chilly rather quickly, so I will need lots of hugs from hot skepchicks to warm me up again :D

Is it any wonder that I adore Nova Land. Not only does he have excellent taste in reading material (Kitten2 admires him so much she wrote him an anime comic), and he's kind hearted (his feline as well as human friends will attest to that), and a genius when it comes to yummy sutff that grows on trees!

No real admissions to make. A lot of us met at TAM I. I'm kinda short and dumpy, and have no sense of humor til I've had my third cup of coffee. I'm generally bad tempered, and my tolerance for idiots hovers at around zero. I chain smoke and drink too much.
We can discuss my bad qualities later.;)

About Pool Boy. Anyone see the movie, "Meet the Parents" ?

well, the kittens and I assure you the dad in that movie is Pool Boy.

Do not let this scare you off from tormenting him! He rarely uses the lie detector, and since watching the movie now "gets" Puff the Magic Dragon.

A) I'm a girl/woman/lady/female person with XX chromosomes, who looks sort of like a Valkyrie Betty Boop with glasses.

B) I lurk here a lot, so I feel like I know you all, but I never post, so I retain an air of mystery. Once you meet me, that air will be gone.

C) The handsome man who will be with me at TAMI II will not be my husband (also handsome, but not a conference-goer), but my brother. Ladies, he's single!

(...well, divorced, actually...)

D) As I mentioned on another thread, I'm hoping to connect with some SkepChicks with lotsa opinions and ideas, because I'd like to write a piece about...you?...us?...this Important Social Phenomenon?...for a magazine I've been talking with.

E) I used to be a professional conference planner, so if I start grabbing duct tape and sticking things together, please don't think I'm an interfering rectum--it'll just be force of habit.

hello, sidhedevil! Look for me, I'll probably be skepchicking my way through the crowd :fg: and then I can tell you a bit about what is to be a female skeptic. I'll introduce you to the other lovely ladies, that's a promise. :)

I can't promise anything, but if any of y'all have an urge to know who I am you should probably seek professional help. Nevertheless, I will endeavor to be the man carrying a sheep - no promises, mind you. Accompanied at times by a beautiful, short, long-haired young lady.

To recap:
budddyh = man with sheep + hot bride.

You now have no excuse :D

Okay, that just leaves me with one question: If you have a hot bride, what do you need the sheep for? :p

Cool, I will look for the woman with the duct tape and the searching gaze (searching for something to duct tape that is). :D

Okay, I am going to do some revealing of my own:

Nyarlathotep: Not an elder god. Just a big cuddly man who attracts children because he is just the cuddliest thing around. I don't need a teddy bear. :D


Hahah, I outed you, Nyarlathotep!! :p

Don't believe her. I am actually an albino who fights with a scythe...oh wait that's my D&D character.

I am actually 7 foot tall, covered in spikey growths and I shoot fire from my eyes, yeah that's the ticket.

Well, I, for one, am disappointed. Ia, ia, Cthulu fnagn!

On the other hand, it's better if he doesn't eat our souls. I suppose.

I guess I should admit that I am neither a sidhe nor a devil. As long as we're all coming clean about our lack of supernatural origins and all.

I don't know how the skepdudes imagine me, Mercutio. :D Probably not even with fishnets, I don't know. :)

If I'm supposed to admit to something, here it goes... I have had my heart broken, no, shattered, in the past couple of months. I'm much to blame, much of it I brought it unto myself. Therefore, going to TAM will be a much needed brake. I was expecting to take someone with me, but instead I'll be on my own. I'll be rooming with wonderful skepchicks, and I'll have interesting conversations, and I'll be in Vegas, so, despite the difficulties, everything will be fine. :)

Isn't it dishonest to make a plea for sympathy like this while misleading people as to the nature of your transgression? Why not admit that the "person you were going to take with you" was not "the man of your life", and that you got caught two-timing and lost both your boyfriends? Maybe you'll get twice as much sympathy.

Uh, Mr. Manifesto?
WTF??? This is the second attack on Luciana that i've seen from you. This makes me sad, because normally i really enjoy your posts.
But, you had to go back into the archives and dig this one up, and then post your jab. That's pretty creepy, dude. Perhaps a little time out to sober up would be in order?

I have to say you will make no friends making snide attacks on Luciana Nery.
She is one of the most highly respected and loved members of this forum. She has no obligation to share any details of her life here. I for one am glad she does, because I care strongly about what happens to her.
Your sniping attack is unneccessary, unwarranted and mean-spirited. Shame on you.

Manifesto is not the source of all this, tim, although I'm disappointed that he chooses to act as someone else's sockpuppets, apparently through copy & paste of a text.

But, considering that he went to the trouble of taking jabs at me in two different forums, in 3 threads, including bumping an old one... I would appreciate if he answered the 2 PMs I sent him 2 days ago.

Manifesto, answer my PMs. It's not nice to accuse someone and then disappear completely, while leaving the accusations hanging. At least admit that you don't know the whole story, and how is that any of your business? Thanks in advance.
