I'm in!

H, I'm glad you asked about the Reader Awards, because we happen to be setting up a panel right this minute.

You are? People from 935? That's cool. Please make it better than how diarist is run because those people are on crack.

-- Anonymous, December 06, 2001

I really think they are smoking the crack. AND Jolene and Ryan are placing a bid for Journalcon to be in Vegas next year. If they were in charge, it would so suck.

Yeah, Jessamyn sort of came up with the idea to actually DO the reader awards. I think a URL has already been bought, even, so it might actually happen.

Yeah, cause I guess people have been talking about them forever but no one actually ever did anything.

Jessamyn is a good one to run it. She's already obviously proven her ability to organize and coordinate.

You know, Rob's daughter is really too too cute. It's sickening. But I hope he stops calling her Chubbin fairly soon cause that's gotta wreck havoc on a young girl's self esteem.

Hello!

Weird day at work today. My boss is out. I have a ton to do. Don't want to do any of it.

Forget JournalCon, people. We need to have a MATH+1Con, except only invite ourselves, and have it at my house. I promise not to get a urinary tract infection.

I think that Jessie has pretty much turned over the being in charge part to Rob, which is probably smart of her. And I don't think he calls Schuyler "Chubbin" to her face. I hope not, at least.

I am in charge of being cute, a post I specifically requested. Heh.

So, Al, your brother's name is actually Kelly K? That's cruel.

I also vote for a MATHcon but just us. Atranta for everyone.

Oh, right, Miss Honeymooner's Syndrome.

I think we should have a ChaoCampCon, and only invite ourselves. I will be in charge of smoking and drinking. And corrupting innocents.

Good idea, but we've seen that Mike is incorrubtable, and the rest of us are too far gone.

Kelly's name is actually "Kellon K. Cannon, Jr." People. Kellon is an Irish name and his grandparents were off the boat, so I guess that's where it came from, but it makes me laaaaaaugh. Mother gets so mad when she talks about it. She blames his aunt Martha Glo Cannon for it all.

Martha GLO?

Oh, God. Hyperventilating. I love it, Allison.

-- Anonymous, December 06, 2001

Oh, yes. Martha Glo. I'm sure her middle name is Gloria, or something, but they call her Martha Glo. Her husband's name is something funny I can't think of right now.

I've never met her, of course, but JoAnn hates her.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

Here's reason 1,000 why to never do communications and marketing for non-profits. It's like a mom and pop enterprise, no matter how big you get.

A reporter from the AJC called one of our volunteers, Miss Virginia Proctor, out of the blue and interviewed her and Miss Virginia told us about it A DAY LATER. Now, granted, this is a fluffy little non- profit old lady volunteer story they're doing, not a big deal or anything, but... I had a big release to send to the same reporter and now I can't do it, because she's already going to write about us.

It just makes me mad. And now I have to call her and be like "Hi, I know you're doing this story, but here are all the things our 85-year- old volunteer might have left out of your little chat," and just hope she cares enough to use them.

(By the way, she really is Miss Virginia Proctor. When I met her she asked me "Well, ah you married? Or ah you an uncollected gem, like myself?" I love her.)

Does that mean when his aunt dances everyone can shout "Glo Martha Glo Martha Glo Glo Glo Martha."

I am not sure they have that sort of fancy dancin' in Vernon, AL.

But you have to admit that you laughed, because, damn I am still laughing.

But not as hard as I laugh when WG out-WGs herself.

It was Athena, though there's also a myth that after Dionysis's mother died, Zeus carried the unborn child for a while -- in his leg.

Poor WG. She didn't even spell Dionysus right. But she's still a Neal Know-it-all. Or Bill Know-it-all, as Mad Madeleine would say.
