I’m having a really hard time writing this post. So much has happened in the past few days that I could tell you one of three or so different, interesting stories. The first story is about my recent trip to Belfast as well as about how and why this little brown chick fell in love with Northern Ireland; the second is about snogging; and the third is about my very first, face-to-face blogger meeting! In the end, I’ve decided to let you guys choose:
(A) When I see the murals of the men wearing black hoods over their faces and pointing AK47s directly at me, I instantly know that Belfast is a different kind of place …
(B) To snog or not to snog? That was the question and I, unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), chose not to snog …
(C) I feel myself grow nervous as I take the first steps toward the friendly-looking woman sitting on the bench. I know she is the right person when she cracks a very sweet smile and asks: “Are you Stolie?”
Okay, folks. Storytime. A, B, or C? Tell me which story you’d like to hear by leaving your vote in the comments section …
{ 23 comments… read them below or add one }
Well, I want to hear them all (greedy bitch, aren’t I?)! How about C and then some B and finally some A. You can do it in multiple posts if you dont’ have time for then all at once. I can be (somewhat) patient.
So are you home?
Already been to Belfast twice so I’d say B or C.
Btw voted for you on BoB. Goodluck!
SNOGGING!!!
I want to hear all of them, but if I have to cjoose which one first..it’s C)…As for B) Well….If Snogging is Shagging..I’ve heard a lot about that before…But C) Meeting a Blogger face to face, is NEWS!
A) is my least favorite to hear of the three, but I’d still like to hear it, too…Just Not First! (lol)
I would like you to save snogging for last, just so we all have to suffer the torment of waiting for it.
unless story is about a bar fight in northern ireland i’d prefer to hear C
I’d too like to hear all of them, please :)
How interesting it would be if the man wearing a black hood pointing an AK47 at you turned out to be a blogger that you snogged!!
Now there’s a story!!!
;-)
I would like to hear “c” the meeting first.
:)
Stacy
B.
And there better be a good reason why you chose not to snog….
I vote for C first, then B, then A. I want to hear them all, too.
C, because that scares me.
well, i meet fellow bloggers all the time now, and usually opting not to snog someone randomly is a wise choice that requires no explanation, but I’ve only been to Dublin and actually pseudo-forfeited a trip to Belfast in favor of Manchester/Blackburn when I was 19, so I’m voting A. of course, I still want to hear about all of it, and I hope we will (!) but if you’re going to force me to choose…
oh, and do you still have any interest in Lucky Cheng’s?
Home safely then? Fire away Stolie!
gosh..don’t hold back…all three woman…but if i had to pick one..i’d go with the snoggin!
Oh come on, you KNOW you’re going to post all three anyway!
Let’s start with B.
I have to admit, I’m curious about what your feelings about Belfast were, so let the appetizer be A, the main course, C, and of course, for dessert, B…
you are a cruel cruel woman i am going with c
I want to hear all about you meeting Nics in Belfast. Did you go with her to see “Brokeback Mountain”? Inquiring minds want to know.
Dear all,
First of all, I’m safe. I’m sound. I’m home. Also, by the way, I’m recovering from jetlag so I completely reserve the right to remove whatever incoherrent post I might put up. Oddly enough, I feel wide awake, but we’ll see if I still feel this way tomorrow after I read what I’ve written here. :)
So, about this vote … Wow! It looks like the overwhelming majority is for Story C. The meeting with Nics. A close second was “tell all three stories.” Stealing Mitch’s brilliant idea ( … sheesh, he’s got the looks *AND* brains … Somebody snatch him up QUICKLY!!!) … Wait, where was I? Oh yeah, Mitch’s idea: I’ll post about all three and name them Appetizer, Main Course and Dessert. I hope you’re all up for reading because these will probably be looooong posts.
Stolie
PS: And, now …
MamaChristy: All three it is. And, don’t worry about the “patience” thing. I’m probably one of the most impatient people in the world, too.
Darwin: Oooh, you’ve been to Belfast? I’d love to hear your opinions of the city. And, thanks for the voting for my for the BoB award!!!
Suezette: Okay. The snogging tale will be told!!! :)
OldOldLady Of The Hills: It seems that most bloggers haven’t met each other. To me, that makes the whole thing all the more fascinating.
JohnJEnright: Okay, we’ll have snogging for dessert.
Zeezy4Sheezy: Nope, no bar fights were had. Well, at least not in Belfast … :)
Guri: No prob. All three it is!!
The Chatterbox: You said – “How interesting it would be if the man wearing a black hood pointing an AK47 at you turned out to be a blogger that you snogged!!” VERY clever!!! That would be a GREAT story! :)
lala: Oh trust me, I have good reason.
goldennib: I think I’ll do the dinner courses thing, so it will be: A, C, then B. ;)
AWE: Oh, I was REALLY scared, too!
Sid: OF COURSE I still have interst in Lucky Cheng’s.
Nics: Yep; I’m home!! … And, the story will be up soon … By the way, have I already told you how much you rock?! :)
rcknrobin: Okay! :)
Jay: Honestly, I sooo had no intentions of posting all three and I’m surprised that you want to hear them all. Be careful. Once I start talking/blogging … it’s hard for me to stop. :)
Mitch: PERFECT suggestion.
Dear Lovey Heart: :)
Tonito Bandito: I’ve seen “Brokeback Mountain” but I saw it here in New York a couple of weeks ago.
yay for all three. tell us once your head is on the right way again.
and next time you’re in the uk maybe some more of us could get together?
Surly Girl, I think that’s a GREAT idea. Actually, such a meeting could take place the next time that I’m in London *OR* we could do one here in New York. New Yorkers would just have to show up, but those of you who live further away would have to fly in and find hotel rooms. Hmmm … maybe that idea wouldn’t work afterall.
But wouldn’t a Ny-Lon blogger event be just peachy? I think the general news media might be running out of ways to milk the blogosphere or whatever we’re calling it now. International “meet-ups” might make the news!
Oooh! A Ny-Lon Blogger Event? I think it’s a fantastic idea, but I don’t know if London-based bloggers would fly all the way to NYC for such an event. Maybe we could organize it for any blogger who has and/or wants to have connections between the two cities, London and New York?
Okay … wait a minute … this might sound odd but I know EXACTLY the organization that would host (and, possibly, fund) such an event. Wow!! Did you see the yellow light bulb flicker on above my head? I have a BRILLIANT idea. Maybe we can discuss via email and/or when we meet offline?
