24-hour blogger people
"There are no quality guys in (insert your town here)."
Well, that's because they were all in DC this weekend having dessert or breakfast with me. Last night I met up with DogPoet from San Fran, and we had a nice chat about blogging, writing, blog voice, use of code names, parents reading our blogs, recovering, partying and playing, privacy, blogging from work and the dangers thereof, Minneapolis, coming out and a mound of other stuff over some oreo s'mores under a harsh heat lamp at Cosi. Like all bloggers, he's totally hot, far woofier in person, with an appealing Minnesota charm. The only bad thing about him is that he lives on the other side of the continent. If you were a fly on the wall, you would have heard us talking about you...
"She so crazy. Certainly a Renaissance Man, but what do we really know about him? The Queen Bee adored by a swarm of adoring gay drones. You HAVE to meet him! All hail, Lord of the Blog."
Then this morning I had an engaging breakfast with Chris, whose blog has sported a few fresh entries. Handsome and brainy in an attractive way with an appealing Midwest charm >; ) . We chatted about international stuff, Peace Corps, men, Outsports, out gay athletes and more over pancakes and waffles. It was good to meet another local blogger, and one who lives down the street at that!
So while I didn't go out at all this weekend (if you discount Thursday), I had an uplifting, positive time with truly primo guys. Blogging seems to have opened things up in that department.
Urgh...I'd so love to veg the rest of the day, but I have resumes, finances and a website to design. My first private gig! It MUST be PERFECT! Oh yeah, the geek gang got together Saturday to play D&D, for my last duty at being the "Dungeon Master" for a while. I'm takin' a break from it an will let Rob take over for a while. I'll be role-playing Glenndorca, a half-orc sorceress with a 19 Charisma, big blonde bouffant, pink robes, signature bubble-themed spells, her very own battle axe and a voice like Miss Piggy. Jimbo Out.

Yep! Good lord...I've been DMing now for almost 17 years. I am uber-geek. Come to DC and be our guest player. Kiri can recommend...she used to play with us.
