Ok, not. It didn't even come up. Because neither of us could shut up about writing. I'm just glad I'm not the only obsessing freak out there.

Funny...I've met "online" friends before in "real life." And each time, I've approached the meeting with a certain set of expectations based on the online persona I'd gotten to know. Invariably, there have been surprises. But not this time. Aaron is the same online as he is in person: funny, smart, opinionated, informed. And he utterly demises the stereotype of Hermit Writer Nerd. Or maybe he was just on his best behavior? Maybe he really IS an HWN, and I was too enraptured by our riveting dissection of the parts of speech to notice?

Whatever. I had a good time. Rumor has it that

aaron_mag has a pic posted of the occasion. Rumor also has it that said pic has already caused widespread cracking of innocent monitor screens, so click at your own risk.

And yes, I ate everything on my plate. I'm a focused eater.
