[...] thought, wouldn’t it be fun to invite a Lounge member to be guest guru over here? Last time, Becky of Hamblog fame acted as our entity and she did a hell of a job, if I do say so [...]

You BET I have a Clara Rockmore CD!

Oh, maccafan10. How can one NOT wonder about a pair of highly tuned, sinewy theramin-ed hands?

@Hannah It truly was amazing. I wish I had captured it on video.

@Rebecca You’re just making this sound like more fun to me. I really wish my dad was a psychiatrist. Scratch that.

I really wish your dad was my dad.

Becky I had no idea what a theremin was until I Googled it, which naturally led me to YouTube. I then discovered Ms. Clara Rockmore (what kind of awesome name is that? — Rockmore. Yes, that’s right folks. I play the theremin and I. Rock.) That’s incredible.

I am now really interested in that but will refrain from purchasing one because I am a cheapskate but more importantly, I want to be your friend and not a poser.

Now the real reason for this comment. As I was listening to Clara rock out I read the comments underneath and laughed my head off when I read the following from maccafan10:

Nice delicately controlled hand job there.
Anyone know her telephone number?

Get out of here!

That comment was left on OCTOBER 15, 2007!! It’s been two years?! It feels like we just met yesterday while at the same time it feels like we’ve been having fun for much longer than that.

Happy blogging/meeting sort-of-anniversary a week late!

Back for more, Hannah? Yay, Hannah!

Firstly: yes.

Secondly: Good one. Other bloggers may want to weigh in on this one. I’d say if the relationship gets to the point where you two communicate outside of your respective comments section, like through direct email, then you’ve launched outside of “blog colleagues” and into “friends.”

As an aside, here’s a cute little story about how I went from blog-pals to real-life friends with the amazing Violet White: http://beckyhaycox.com/hamblog/?p=322 (check out the comments, too, to see the very first friend-seeds planted by our very own C-Girl!)

Thirdly (that is totally a word): That church friend just sounds like a joiner. A bored, uninspired joiner. Not to dis this person, but I have seen this kind before.

My friend C seemed to shadow everything I showed enthusiasm for. I mentioned I would like to learn the theremin. She buys a theremin! I like this wine. She tours the winery! She even went to BELGIUM when I mentioned that I enjoyed my trip there in 2001.

Even though it’s a little weird, she’s harmless, as I suspect your church pal is. I think you should just be patient — hopefully she’ll lose interest or find her niche in her online world. And, don’t forget, the unfriend/unfollow function is only a click away.

Don’t forget what I said before: 99% of the world’s angst is caused by Facebook!

I love the fact that you have a mole in this operation named Mittens. Awesome.
