This will not stand. Try again, Sam.

Yeah, we gotta try bending that curve a bit.

Um, remind me not to smoke 4 joints at once if Sam and SacTown ever make it to Disneyland at the same time again.

Aww, but you were so entertaining.

From what little I remember.

*sigh*

Time away sometimes helps- I have taken self-imposed breaks from LoT in the past.

Jeez, I go to lunch and miss all the hubbub...

MMM: Perhaps you're taking missing meets too personally?

I mean, even if you never make it to any meets (I'm looking at you, Leo!) you're still a part of this community. In fact, you don't even need to apologize for not being able to make them. I think everyone here knows that you live way up in the farthest part of the Valley and have a job that gets in the way (hell, I live in the far south part of OC, so a lot of Hollywood swankings are just plain out for me).

Nobody "expects" you to attend meets, this isn't that kind of a group. I mean, sure we'd love to see you guys at stuff, but everyone has a life, and life doesn't always make it conducive to get to stuff. Maybe just don't worry about it so much?

I don't know what all was in the original PM, but based on what you've posted and what I've read in past threads, maybe what they're getting at is that you sound all hurt because you can't get to meets - but it's just not that big of a deal. You can make an event or you can't. Nobody holds it against you either way. I know I've posted the "Would love to but can't because...." responses in meet threads before myself, but I do it more to express an interest in the subject matter (in hopes of future similar meets I might be able to make) than to complain about the timing.

Ugh, I feel like I'm rambling. I hope something I said in there makes sense. Basically, I wouldn't stress over the not-able-to-get-to-meets thing. I don't think there's anyone on this board who could possibly make it to every single meet. We all have our various scheduling/financial issues that affect us and force us to make choices. You're certainly not alone in that, and nobody holds it against you.

I've been to one meet. I was scared and ran away.

I like it on the board, though.

Morrigoon · 01-30-2008, 02:36 PM

I wasn't even there, and you got askeered?

I try to get on as many as possible. It was in one of those 1001 things to do before you die book things.

Crap when did I miss you being out here though? I don't remember that.
