Geeky Blog Friends are AWESOME!!

OK, I had a whole Mardi Gras post nearly finished when I decided to pop on over to my friend Emma's blog. She's a big ol' sci-fi geek like myself, and she's spent the last couple of weeks blogging about her adventures at the Wolf Pegasus 4 convention in London last month. For those of you who aren't geeks (or are only semi-geeky ;) this con is for Stargate-Atlantis, which ended its 5 year run with its 100th episode last month.



So, I popped on over there and read her post entitled "Lost Property". (Please go read it. C'mon - I asked nicely!) I immediately started writing a smart-ass comment about how it's mine - 'cause I wanted it, and that she could just pop it in the mail to me. I then took the time to go back and actually look at the photo. And realized, by God, that the autographs are all TO ME!!! That's right, my bloggy friend across the pond had everyone at the Con sign it for me! And (this is a big "and") she even had them spell my name correctly. Which almost never happens.

Know what happened next? I squealed. Loudly. And woke my poor hubby in a not-very-nice-way as he was snoozing on the couch next to me. And then my kid ran in from the other room to see what all the screaming was about.

After I stopped making noises that were, well, indescribable and ear splitting, I was able to let my guys know who all had signed it. Cody wanted to know how come he didn't get one. I told him that my friends love me more! I know, I sound horrible. Maybe I'll be nice enough to bring him back an autographed photo when *I* go! (snort)
