The AH person I would most like to meet IRL is…

[EmilyMiller]

…and why?

Let’s refrain from hook-up mentality. We are authors. We are cerebral. We are interested in the person and their mind. We shall have herbal tea together and discuss Dostoyevsky.

I’m going to hold my peace on this one for a while (Psst: it’s obviously Tilan).

Any volunteers?

Lovecraft68, I like being put in my place.

 

[EmilyMiller]

Lovecraft68, I like being put in my place.

That’s going to be a popular choice I think.

[AlinaX]

I'd like to meet me.

I’ve been to paradise, but…

 

[ElectricBlue]

Lovecraft68, I like being put in my place.

Yeah, but discovering he's a short chubby guy with a comb-over is going to fuck up the delusion you had of him.

For me, it would be the Doomster, to go to a cafe where I can demonstrate why coffee girls are so much better than penguins.

Although, looking around, this place probably has one of the best collections of fine minds I've encountered for quite some time, so I'd want more tables and a whole afternoon.

 

[Voboy]

Ogg.

Talking to yourself again?

Em

 

[ElectricBlue]

Talking to yourself again?

Em

I'm the taller one in the mirror.

 

[EmilyMiller]

I'm the taller one in the mirror.

If you look away, does the Doomster look away too?

Em

 

[ElectricBlue]

If you look away, does the Doomster look away too?

Em

Now that's a tree falling in the forest type question. I know I'm still here, but is he? From the current silence, it must be me that exists, only me. I'll go and join myself, over there -->

 

[EmilyMiller]

I’ve been to paradise, but…

I’ve been vaguely aware of this dirge since childhood, but I just looked up the lyrics. What misogynistic BS. Written by two men!

Hey lady, you lady
Cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother
And a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about
The things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you

Whoooa, I've been to Georgia
And California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
And we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places
And friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me

Please lady, please, lady
Don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you
Why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me
Still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part
Of a weary heart
that has lived million lies

Whoooa, I've been to Nice
And the Isle of Greece
While I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
And I've seen some things
That a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me

Hey, you know what paradise is
It's a lie
A fantasy we create about people
And places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is
It's that little baby you're holding
And it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love

Sometimes I've been to crying
For unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life
I never knew
I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring
The subtle whoring
That costs too much to be free
Hey lady, I've been to paradise
But I've never been to meeeeeee

I've been to paradise
(Never been to me)

 

[Duleigh]

@Handley_Page or @ChloeTzang
Both seem like great folks Chloe is published, I want to learn about that and I want to see Handley's neighborhood

 

[AwkwardlySet]

Laurel. I am curious to see if she would refrain from communication even in real life

I can actually imagine myself talking to her endlessly about Lit related stuff, about all our issues and ideas, and her completely ignoring me while sipping a martini. You know, Laurel might just be the ultimate domme

I bet ten bucks that someone "rises" to her defense

 

[SimonDoom]

I'll take you up on that when I eventually get around to visiting Australia one of these days. It's near the top of my list. I haven't been served coffee by someone with an Ozzie accent yet and I'm looking forward to it.

Then Rusty can show me where the drop bears are. Bramblethorn will cite multiple authorities about why Americans should especially fear drop bears and probably half convince me.

She talks to me. Must just be you .

I already knew you were the female equivalent of

Sure she does.

I’m happy to be a Lisa Simpson psychotype (not psycho type),

[Bramblethorn]

I’ve been to paradise, but…

If somebody your age has heard that song, my generation has failed you. I am so sorry.

me: probably @AwkwardApple415, I've worked with them so often and I'd consider us good friends but we've never met, beyond occasional voice chat with one half of that ID.

 

[TxRad]

I have met a dozen or so of the old members at two different Litogethers, none of which are still here. Not my fault I'm can say. It was a bunch of trolls that made this place hell for a while and ended when we got a Mod and the Political Forum was made.

Now at the top of my list would be Chloe, Duleigh, HP, Tarnished Penny, MrP, and the list goes on.

Doesn't get more authoritative than the Australian Museum. https://australian.museum/learn/animals/mammals/drop-bear/

 

[MrPixel]

Duleigh. We hit on too many things in common IRL. There's a non-zero chance we would run into each other in our non-Lit pursuits. Maybe we already have.

TxRad, too. We have other things sorta in common.

 

[SexyVita]

Well, I won't, based on my own, hard learned lessons meet someone from a sex forum site in real life. But, if I had to choose one person right now to meet, it would be @Biker_Faerie. I want to hike with her in the lake country pretending to be two Elizabeth Bennets, enjoy beautiful vistas, share a sleeping bag, and have lots of naughty fun that leaves us sweaty and out of breath! Love ya BF!

I'll come with you, Simon, and we can all go drop bear hunting together.....
