Ah, livejournal. You're like the dorky friend I've abandoned as soon as I fell in with a more popular crowd. But I still care for you, and when my new friends, realize what a big nerd I am, I'll come ingratiating myself into your favor again ( Read more... )

I fell into Facebook when I discovered it will run your LJ as a feed of Notes for you.

Good to see you in person!

Yes, it was a blast, and your paper was very enjoyable. Did you manage to find some folks to keep on keepin on with? Sorry to ditch you-- it would have been a very small and boring affair for you, consisting largely of encouraging an extremely nervous friend (she's defending today).

The feeling of blastness was mutual, and thanks so much for coming to the paper (you have no idea how nice it was to see a friendly face among the intimidating strangers).

And really, I completely understand. I actually ended up quickly realizing I was exhausted (amazing what several weeks of forced-march dissertation work can do) and barely got back to the hotel before I fell asleep. The next day I spent grading chaucer papers to make way for more dissertation work. Yahoo!
