Whooooooooooooooooo!!
Okay, here I am at work, eating
Danny's/SOSTrooper's (red shirt in the picture) shrimp chips for breakfast...
Mmmmmmm, shrimp chips...
Alright, ladies first... thank you
weezergirl for bring your sweet roommie and schooling EVERYONE on RISK: LOTR Edition... it was great meeting you, glad you two were able to make it and even out the M:F ratio a bit.
A million and one thanks to
Jonathan/JonathanM (striped shirt in the back in the picture) , who came early (same time as Danny!) at 7:25pm sharp and brought TONS (literally, tons) of chips n drink... with everything you brought, you pretty much fed the whole gang...
It was great chatting with you, hope you kicked butt at RISK... you and Kim need to teach me how to play so I can join in next time.
It was fantastic meeting
Rufio You're such a friendly, outgoing, funny guy... next time, let's hope your girlfriend doesn't have a science fair and can make it after all. Good job smacking everyone in SCATTERGORIES... and I was gonna go back for more rounds, too.
Hello to
ALDO/abaez (second from the left, back row), who was holding your own in both Scattergories AND Trivial Pursuit... thanks for putting up with me blabbering away next to you, you definitely held your own pie-wise...
James/OS (back row, fourth from left, black leather jacket and gray-ish shirt), it was fun seeing you again...
We've gotta kick Oliver's butt for not attending... thanks for helping out XinMei with Scattergories... wait... she was the one who saved you from your "3" answer.
Heh heh heh... okay, so neither of us are mechanical engineers...
Van/neovan and his lovely girlfriend Tina, (van = far left, standing up, happy Asian guy
Tina = lady also on the far left) thanks for bringing your bright cheery selves (along with plates and cups and pop)... Tina was such a sweetheart (hardcore Scrabble-r), and you/van came SO close to winning in Trivial Pursuit. You need a 3... now you need a 1... dammit, now you need a 3 again...
Steven, (SNUCK AWAY, NOT IN THE PICTURE!) what can I say... you redeemed yourself in Trivial Pursuit, and I thought my fish clue was a good one.
"Jack and Jill... *cough* Jack... JACK!!!!" I think that one Heineken was one too much...
LordUnum/Rob (?) (fifth from the right, black jacket/white shirt)... GAH, I just totally blanked... how could I forget, after that marathon TP game?? It's all about pie karma, man...
Many thanks to
Ivar (blonde fratboy-looking type, second from the right in the back row) for the million and one clues during TP... it's too bad I'm not a better lip reader. You SO look 16 and underage... heh...
Samir/xyyz (standing, third from left in khaki), dude... DID YOU GET HER NUMBER??? Tonight I learned I have hot neighbors. Very hot neighbors. Did you see that girl in the white tank top? Yowza... room 307, right?
I'm gonna go over and introduce myself after work today... heh... next meetup ATOT, I'm on it... you can thank me later.
Chirac (standing, far right, red plaid) and
Andy (kneeling, tan shirt), I'm sorry I kept forgetting your name!! Glad you guys had fun playing cards... sorry I couldn't join, I was involved in the LONGEST TRIVIAL PURSUIT GAME EVER (no more Genus edition, we need some questions from THIS century)...
Charlotte/newt (second from right, black shirt/green skirt), I'm so glad you were able to make it! You were so sweet, it was wonderful chatting with you (however briefly). I noticed you got right down to the strip poker, woman on a mission, hehehe...
djplayx714/Anthony (fifth from the right, standing), pleased you could make it (albeit a bit late
)... do you dj/work at car shows? I'm a semi-bgirl, the person at the meetup who came last is a bboy... sorry I couldn't join you guys playing cards, definitely next time!
Very happy you came,
BruinEd03/Ed (a photographer, not a subject apparently
)... can't wait to see your pics, you certainly have a flair for capturing moments.
Sorry to play the name game so many times, and I'll keep you updated on your offer... thanks again for it, I really appreciate it.
Manjul/The_good_guy (bottom row, kneeling, patterned shirt) wins the prize for arriving the LATEST... when the door buzzed at 10:40, we were all like... uh... who's that? Of could you had to "make your appearance"... glad you did, sorry Vanessa couldn't come. Hope all her (and your!) studying got done and that you managed to ride home safely!
Eddy/ed21x... hehehe, thanks for the PM.
You're very welcome, hope you can make it (a lil earlier
) again to the next one!
Once again, a HUGE thanks to everyone who attended from near (2 blocks away) and far (Orange County/Irvine)... I had such a great time, and it definitely wasn't just another ordinary Wednesday night. It was wonderful meeting all of you, and we'll have to do it again sometime... goodness knows I have the snacks/soda/alcoholic beverages for it.
Xinmei says thank you to everyone as well, she had a fantastic time (although she was really surprised so many people showed up... neither of us have ever seen so many in our apartment at one time). Thank you all for being so much fun (and so polite and so funny and so clean), I'm off to work a bit now but I'll talk to you all soon, I'm sure...
