Second impressions

Okay, let me start by saying that some of you may be let down to find out that my first impressions didn't necessarily change a whole lot. I will go down the whole list anyways;

Carey~ My impressions of Carey were pretty accurate, I think. Only now I know how much more friendly she is. (and when I say friendly...*wink*) She also gave me permission to comment in her blog, which started me commenting in all the blogs. I owe her one. Seems to be the glue that keeps us together here.


Glow~ When I found out she was older than me I was so surprised, but it just made her even cooler to me. I've since learned she is more human than I thought, in that she has insecurities, but to me, she shouldn't. I think she is just awesome.

Seana~ Coolest newbie ever. So glad I have gotten to know her. She has a great sense of humor and is very giving.

Rose~ Now I understand why everyone loved Rose and welcomed her back so eagerly. She is incredibly warm and kind. Also much younger than I originally thought she was, not sure why I thought she was older though.

Zombie~ Well I was right about "unique"! LOL. Zombs is a nut, she doesn't mind being silly and she makes everyone laugh. Not much different than I originally thought she'd be. (plus we share a love for all things 'Bigfoot')

MTW~ He is who he comes across as being. Warm, friendly, considerate, *very* funny, and smart. I thought I would like him and I was right.

Arkie~ So much more to her than I knew in the beginning (I guess that's what happens when you get to know somebody, huh?) She is even lovelier once you get to know her.

Coco~ Exactly what I thought except not intimidating. She is friendly (despite having superior grammar) and a good teacher. (still referring to your PM)

Momma~ Not sure what this place would be like without momma. She is one of those people who is always there for you (except lately, where the heck has she been?). Such a genuinely good person.

Nutzy~ Great taste in men (with the exception of the BJ obsession) ;-). Nice enough to always be willing to share with me. Would love to meet her. She is one of everyone's favorites, including mine.

Monsty~ My impression of Monsty has not changed. She is a beautiful mother and still one of the funniest people I've known.

Bob~ Bob is nicer than I originally thought she was. I guess when someone is super smart I assume they will be stuck up, but not Bob. Bob is a dork at heart, underneath all that intelligence. (no offense) *afraid she will blow me up, now*

Boo~ Completely wrong about her. Thought she was happy with her circle of friends and wouldn't want to include others. She has been very welcoming and I am so glad I got to know her. She is *not* a loer!!!

Silverstar~ I am envious of her wit. I like her style. I think she is the kind of girl everyone should have as a friend. I was right about her, but have grown even more fond of the little bitch. :P

Augie~ Has an aura of specialness that makes people want to be in her presence. There's just something about her that I like.

Nookie~ I don't think anyone could not *heart* nookie. It's true, she did kick me once, but because she is so exceptional in every other way, I've forgiven her. She is everything I thought originally, but better.

HD~ Turns out he was a young hottie! Can't imagine OT without his contributions. Truly unique.

PhoenixMons~ One of the most well rounded peeps I know. She really does know a little bit about everything, it seems. Glad I've gotten to know her better, and thankful for her presence here and at the other place. Would still love to *be* her. Plus she has an adorable DD!

Buggy~ One of the very first to welcome me and correspond via PM. She is just as she has always been. Very wise, very loving and still the heart of OT.

Syren~ LOL. Syren was not the 40 year old I thought she was. Instead, she is one of the strongest, most loyal and generous peeps I've known. She is mature and yet fun, smart, yet able to let her hair down and play. She has been a wonderful friend to me.

CSTL~ Humble. Genuine. Very generous with his time and heart. *sigh* I am just so glad to know him.

Volsfan~ Quirky. Always there with something cute or clever to say. Was right about him. I really like him.

jkokoj~ We need a koko. She has a beautiful heart and shares happiness wherever she goes. Happy to have gotten to know her better.

Woe~ A very good friend. Strong through rough times. A survivor. Special lady.

Tishy~ A wonderful person who still makes everyone laugh at the other place. Even when going through her own trials, she is there, being ladyT.

Iggy~ Too damn humble for her own good. I should really not like her, since she is exactly what I thought she was, but I can't help it. I like her alot.

EmilyRugburn~ Still getting to know her and still thinking she is a hot smarty!

Lightsy~ Even funnier and nicer than I thought. Like Em, still getting to know her, but enjoying it immensely.

AnotherKim~ Someone we would want on our side. She sticks up for what she believes in and for people she cares about.

Starryluna~ Again, still getting to know her, but have learned that she is a neat person and very caring.

Puffy~ Adding Puffy here even though she is not currently a blogger. I just wanted to say that she is one of those peeps who can always be counted on for a smile or a laugh or a kind word.

RedDobie~ Didn't have a first impression, but have loved getting to know her better. I remembered that I also assumed she was a he, based on the name I guess. I don't know why, I know it doesn't make sense. Anyhow, I am very happy she has joined the blogging community.

MRC~ Had to add him because I find him to be *swoonworthy* Very smart. Sometimes second impressions beat first impressions. *grin*

Awwww! These are all so sweet and I agree with so many. These folks are the best peeps I've ever never met!

FTR: I am not obsessed with BJ, just JB!!! His name is Jon (Bongiovi), Bon Jovi is the band. OK, maybe I am obsessed with the band. Richie is effing hot too!

I *heart* you so much! Even when I appear to be trying to be mean to you, it's all just in fun. I think you know that. We act sort of like sisters in that way I think. Like it's some sort of competition, LOL!

Have a great day while I work for what seems like forever! Only 2 more weeks until I have some freedom!

*smooches*

volsfan said...

Nutz, you and MM act like the wearesophiliminatedski sisters at times!

Great to see the updated list MM and I agree with so many and there are others I would add. Maybe I will do a list like this sometimes. (not motivated to do one right now)

Syren said...

MM-I loved the first list, although I will say again...I. Am not 40!! LOL.

I agree with so many of your second impressions. Peeps from the other place and blog land have touched my heart in so many ways.

My first impression of you was that you were nice. Nice to me and welcomed me. My second impression expanded on that. You still were nice, kind, and sweet, but now I see the amazing woman you are who gives so much of herself without expecting anything in return. I am truely glad that I have gotten to know you.

{{{hugs}}}

BlindSlim~CSTL said...

Loved the list and I think you already know how I feel about you.

*smooch*

Sonya said...

I think this is a very nice list. Keep up the good work.

*smooch*

mm said...

Sonya! You are so sweet and supportive! I know you don't go to the other place, but I'm glad you are here, too! *smooch*

Nutz, yes, we are always joking. I've never once actually been angry with you (unless of course we are talking about MTW, then you better watch your back!) *grin*

Bite your tongue, Vols!! :)

S & T, thank you. Is it just me or have I been saying that A LOT lately? ;-)

Seana said...

Yes, Carey is wonderful. She was my first commenter and she asked if she could link me. Made me feel all warm. *smooch*

Yeah, where is momma? I miss her. I'm going to her blog to post that I miss her.

I *heart* you and the people on your list. Or course, some I don't know very well yet, but hope to.

Will I ever *not* be a newbie to you? *smooch*

mm said...

*smooch* Red Dobie! Glad I wasn't the only one!

Seana, you are not a newbie to me anymore, no. They always say "you're only a newbie until you don't feel like one" or something, and you never really seemed like a newbie. You fit in so quickly. I still feel like a newbie myself, and I bet it will never go away. I would say though that you are one of the few peeps who I've gottne close to that is newer than me, though.

mtw said...

MM, you are not only sweet and caring, you're a good judge of character.

I can't believe how many nice people there are in this little circle of friends. I've enjoyed getting to know every single person on your list as well as many others.

Blogging has really helped get to know some of you better. Sadly, it means there's little time for OT and meeting new peeps!

Glowie said...

How sweet are you? *smooch*

Yes Vols! Bite your tongue!

MM & I are not like the Godweareawfuleffingbitchesallthetime sisters!

It may look like bickering to you, but that's what sistahs do! I know, I have 3 of them IRL!

The difference between us and them is that we do actually like each other (and lvoe each other)! Those witches don't! LOL!

Sonya said...

From my short experience in the land of the blog I haven't noticed one person I dislike. Everyone seems so awesome!

Sonya said...

I meant to write not one person I dislike. Everyone is great!

My day isn't going well, so I can even write correctly.

Aislinn Sirk said...

Don't think I didn't notice that I'm not actually nice. I'm just nicer than you thought.
Considering I threaten to blow things up when they annoy me, it's not hard to be nicer than that.

Emily RugBurn said...

You are A DOLL! And, might I say, what an incredible group of people we have here. Although I'm there and reading every day, I don't post in "that other place" too much, (less than 400 posts in 3 years!) so I feel like I know yous all better than you know me.

Thanks for taking the time to visit me in the bloggin' world and thanks to everyone who's linked to me and taken the time to get to know me (Jen/koko was the first to find me over here and introduce me around).

Nutz said it best: "the best peeps I've ever never met!"

Cheers!,
EmRB

momma said...

*smooch*

You are a sweetie, mm. And as many others have said, you are a good judge of character and a wonderful person.

Now...between all of these blogs and my Lortab, I'm getting all weepy. Do you know how hard it is to be weepy when your face is swollen beyond recognition?!??

Bravie said...

Cool idea for a blog post. I like it.
There are some pretty awesome peeps around here. I'm glad that I have gotten to know them all.
*smooch*

mm said...

MTW, I agree, it's much harder to find time for OT now, but this is so much more intimate that I don't mind anymore. :)

Bob! I said you were nicer than I thought, which implies that I already thought you'd be nice, no?
*goes off to add that Bob is slightly paranoid*

Thanks, Em! It's been great getting to know you!

Momma! Get back to bed!! We need you to be all better. *smooch* Sonya, call her and tell her to take care of herself, please!

You're right, Carey, it's an awesome bunch of people here.

Aislinn Sirk said...

"Would you like some more tea?"

"How can I have more tea when I haven't got any tea at all?" exclaimed Aice

"Well, you can always have more than nothing"

Aislinn Sirk said...

Seriously though, your list is great and terribly thoughtful.

Schnookie said...

MM, wonderful posts and I'm glad you think of me that way, even if I did kick you *grin* Thanks!!!

I didn't really get to know you until the blog world. I'm still having a hard time matching you with your online name at the other place LOL. I do have to say, I've loving you more and more each day. You're bright and funny and bring a lot of laughter into our lives. I'm almost at the point where I don't blush when I come to your blog *grin*

*HUGS*

mm said...

Thank you Bob and Nookie.

*smooches*
