Yes ma'am.

Holy freak!  That's great!  Thanks!

Of course, attendance will probably skyrocket now...

Kim (and others),

Sorry that work has the audacity to keep me from the forums!!

While I don't have your same Chat-chet (pronounced "chat shay," defined as an indication of approval carrying great prestige regarding one's presence in the Lounge, see cachet), I am offering up my humble presence for post-restaurant activities -- i.e. I can hang around after and do touristy things.  I don't do enough of that myself!

I hope it is nice this Saturday. 

 Cece

*ponders value of chat-chet and how it is measured*

Oh, I think that HK is the ultimate judge of a person's chat-chet!

Hmm, regarding ways to value/measure it - how often you post in the Chat? Although, I am unsure if it has a quantity or quality measure -- maybe it is the ability to make someone actually spit on their monitor while laughing, or make someone almost cry in sympathy over a sad story even though you don't know them, or raise their spirits with a friendly post? 

Humph.  How do you prove any of that?

*snorts*
*thinks clinder is making up words ;)*

Woohoo for free lunch and for Cece playing tourist with me, Ben & Claire!  I am sooo looking forward to this weekend!

Wow guys!  Just read that C-C is picking up the tab.  That's awesome and thanks in advance.

Getting more and more excited as we get closer.  It's going to be so great to meet everyone!

 

Yes, you'll actually get to meet Kim and K this time ;D
