I really want

I really want to meet one or some of you buggies!

Is there a way, other than NaNoMail, to message you and set a date to meet up?

Just so you know, I am going to Port Aransas (close to Corpus Cristi) later this month, and Ft. Worth in July, I live in Austin, so I can probably maybe possibly meet one of you buggies that lives in Houston... but please. Is there another way?? I am really wanting to contact one of you!!!!!! You ALL sound so ooo fun! I wish I could meet all of you, but I can only meet the ones in south TX. Please post ways to contact you, and if you live somewhat or close to AUSTIN TX.

PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Well I live in Houston or rather the Houston area. I don't know what I would put for you to be able to contact me though. I have cousins that I visit often in Austin. Actually I am going up to visit them soon.

Cool! When are you going to visit them? Maybe I can NaNoMail you and we can set up a date... if you want, I am only 11...

Ok, so do you have a NaNoWriMo account  Elizabeth D??

I haven't created my account yet, but I will soon.  I want something easy so you guys can send me NaNoMail. But as I said, I have to create the account. There keeps being complication when I do try to create it...

I live in the Houston area, but I go to Austin quite often. I might be going this weekend, actually, and if so, it's possible we could arrange something. I'm not sure, though, because we're busy, and I'm making plans already to meet someone from a different website if we do go, but I'll try to meet with you sometime if at all possible! I'd love to! The thing is, you can't plan it here. You just can't. Even if the admins would let us, it's not safe. Anyone can see what we post here, so although we can mention meeting, wanting to meet each other and then talk about the details afterward, we can't say here where we're going to meet or when, in case a stalker sees it. The only way we could meet would be if we plan it on another website with a private message system so that no-one can see what we say but us. The simplest way would be for us to do so on a website that we both have accounts on already, but there is none, as the only one I'm a member of is NaNo. So for us to meet, either you would have to get an account on NaNo or I'd get an account on a site that you have an account on--and that I'd be able to find without you posting a link--and that's unlikely to have any inappropriate content, please.

Or we could post on someone else's blog, and they'd automatically send us both e-mails asking if we want to join the site (you don't have to, by the way), and we could ask them to exchange our e-mail addresses. We'd have to have permission from a blogger, though. I can tell you what to Google to find them, if necessary...

Then again, maybe it would be best to wait until later so that Elizabeth can come, too, unless she can this weekend, which is unlikely. I'm going to be busy, anyway, and I just don't think it'll work.

I am not going this weekend so we couldn't all meet. I am not sure how it would be possible either. I don't have a NaNoWriMo account or any other accounts unfortunately. What sort of place do you live in? I mean like do you live in a neighborhood or do you live in an apartment or just a house on a street? It would be really neat if you lived right by where my cousins live.

I live in a house in a neighborhood. It's in Kingwood, near Humble.

Detc says iicu! I see you! Does he know where I live, then? It would be very... interesting to meet him...

Ok, Ima, I don't have an email, and I keep forgetting to ask her if I can use hers. But anyway, my username is "DivaVida". What is yours? And, do you get alot of like, sales emails that like, but you?

Because if you do, my mom won't let me... And turns out, we are going to Austin too!!! So message me back. 

Wait, I sorta forgot to ask. Even if this whole thing could be possible, you would want to meet me?

Yes, I'd like very much to meet you! I wouldn't have posted on this thread if I didn't, just to avoid awkwardness and possible offense. I might not have quite as much in common with you as some other CBers, but you're an awesome person, and it would be great to meet you. Sorry, I didn't see your post until it was too late, but I'll certainly go to Austin again in the future--over the summer, probably. I'll probably get to visit my other internet friend, too, since we didn't get to do it this time. Anyway, I hope we get to do this.

Vida, NaNo really is a fantastic way to stay in touch with buggies, probably one of the best options. :) If you have Facebook though (I think you've said before that your mom does) you could try that too. Did you make your NaNo account yet? Hope we can get in touch! :)

No. I am going to ask my mom tomorrow. She is busy grading my school papers right now. I am going to try to get it though. Ya see, I don't have an email, so that's a problem...

Where do you live? Houston...?

I hope we can stay in touch too!!!!!!!!!! Maybe you're going to Austin soon, and we can meet sometime!!!!!!

She's traveling the country in an RV. She came to the Houston area recently, and I met her there. She's gone now... Sorry. Maybe she'll come back in the future!

Detc says ftwn! I quite agree; CB meetups for the win!
