Yet and still, I want to express my humble gratitude at being virtually invited to your virtual dinner party, especially to celebrate the venerable fifth year of your online writing here (hosanna! mazel tov! and congrats!). Truly, an honor. And, were the dinner to ever transpire, I'm sure, too, a pleasure. With or without wrestling.Pollyhttp://lesbiandad.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726446.post-83612990574853282532008-08-28T11:22:00.000-06:002008-08-28T11:22:00.000-06:00Congratulations on the anniversary!<BR/>Mine's gonna be two in December. :) <BR/><BR/>How would you say yours has changed over the years?toddhttp://beautifulfunnysadandtrue.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726446.post-56300196123393681842008-08-27T19:53:00.000-06:002008-08-27T19:53:00.000-06:00Oh dead god. I mean oh *dear* god. <BR/><BR/>I could never come to this dinner party. You and Palinode in the same place? Me there, too? <BR/><BR/>I would wilt. I would come undone. I would need a fainting chair and smelling salts. I would strap my bra on my head for the small comfort it would afford me.* <BR/><BR/>I would surely go into some kind of hysterics that would be misinterpreted as interpretive dance or a flashing light-induced seizure. <BR/><BR/>I would froth. <BR/><BR/>I would giggle uncontrollably and wet myself apologetically. <BR/><BR/>I would have to wear my red feather boa like a security blanket, but it would actually provide little in the way of security not to mention leaving all kinds of feathery bits in everyone’s foodstuff. The feathers would probably even make their way into that prized butter thing of yours, and then you would be none too happy with me. <BR/><BR/>The boa would, however, make me a hit with the cats.<BR/><BR/>What I am trying to say is: Sweet. I’ll be there. But please don’t serve anything sticky. (The feathers.) And also, be prepared to for a collaborative poetry game or two. (Sorry.)<BR/><BR/>What’s that, Schmutzie? I know. I know. I’m uninvited. <BR/><BR/>I get it.<BR/><BR/>*I don’t actually do this to comfort myself but I know someone who does.Danahttp://mygorgeoussomewhere.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726446.post-85754060733399643022008-08-27T10:42:00.000-06:002008-08-27T10:42:00.000-06:00You mean who would I invite if I didn't have COMPLETE fear of entertaining?<BR/><BR/>You, Dooce, The Gingerbreads from Weddingbee.. Um, Finslippy, Woulda Coulda Shoulda, Flotsam, My best friend Kate (who made ME start blogging) And Geri and Traci:)<BR/>A mix of big time and local, kind of :)<BR/><BR/>I'm just sure that I'll poison someone or they won't like what I cook or I'll BURN something. And HOLY HELL WHAT WILL I MAKE?<BR/>This is why I don't invite people over!<BR/><BR/>HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!Digitshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06072882044629827304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726446.post-85001927073723124102008-08-26T18:20:00.000-06:002008-08-26T18:20:00.000-06:00Happy Anniversary!!!Aimee Greeblemonkeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16486438725653025356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726446.post-23018851685362045192008-08-26T18:13:00.000-06:002008-08-26T18:13:00.000-06:00I always thought that question: if you could have dinner with any dead person in the world, who would it be? was pretty great. But somehow being able to invite ten bloggers to dinner is even better!<BR/><BR/>All those people would certainly make me more anxious than I already always am, but a brain could live off memories like that for a long time.Angelinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05216322840161752535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726446.post-54574007370450571102008-08-26T16:23:00.000-06:002008-08-26T16:23:00.000-06:00Congrats!annahttp://www.abdpbt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726446.post-89638660096661695982008-08-26T15:08:00.000-06:002008-08-26T15:08:00.000-06:00Hi, me again, kind of in the spirit of the occasion I did nominate you for an award over at my place.

You are an awesome writer and a keen observer of life; I always leave here awed. I have especially enjoyed your x365, and think it gives even more insight into who you are. Okay so I've been reading you for a year (from Ninjapoodles), so looks like I have some serious catching up on the first 4 years.bikerchickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05858372511692527031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726446.post-51381957529678730822008-08-26T11:12:00.000-06:002008-08-26T11:12:00.000-06:00Happy blogiversary!!saviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08108928771098986012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726446.post-84600726701403364492008-08-26T10:25:00.000-06:002008-08-26T10:25:00.000-06:00I'm so honored to be included in your fantasy dinner party!

Of course, he wouldn't speak English, and the food would probably make him throw up, and our cutlery would confound him.
