Thanks, tenacious_snail!

Lovely house, lovely women to discuss literature with, lovely snacks, and such an adorable dog. tenacious_snail invited me to her book group tonight, and I got past my utter resistence to new social situations and went. Made toffee, got lost, found the place, listened a lot, made some conversation, petted the dog, got along with the dog (a biggie if you know me -- maybe stonebender's dog has broken my streak), and had a very nice time. tenacious_snail is so kind and neighborly, and I do appreciate it.

Come to think of it, thanks to all of the people who have made this move feel like coming home. bayarts had me at a book reading almost immediately. The local wombabes have all welcomed me, either in email or in person. stonebender and his partner have been fucking amazing. Tons of really incredible people came to the housewarming. wild_irises and alanbostick are my nearest neighbors and always seem glad to see me. I could go on and on. Thanks, all of you. And thanks to my newest neighbor, tenacious_snail.

You could cut "seem" out of the sentence about me and alanbostick, you know. I at least always am glad to see you, and I very much doubt that he would disagree ...

Thank you, dear one. I'm always glad to see you, too.

thanks!

It was wonderful to have you! I know it can be a challenge to go to a new place, to see someone you've met once, and discussion on a book you haven't read. Glad to know that I'm being kind and neighborly. Those are things I *want* to do. Somehow, this whole break-up-with-Ladybug-and-move-to-Berkeley thing has been The Best Ever. And falling in with the right crowd of folks, just the absolute right crowd (and clump).
