Unveiled.

There is this thing in torts called Assumption of the Risk so that if for instance you touched an electric fence that screamed DO NOT TOUCH MOTHERFUCKER! the consequences of the touching are your own damn fault. But like everything in law there is an equal and opposite, and that equal and opposite is called Attractive Nuisance, so that say you have dark hair and eyes, or say you are ever so tall, or say you walk around with a paperback in your back pocket YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, then it's not my fault at all if I might have maybe kissed you right there at the bar. IN FACT, you are the one who is liable to me and I will be accepting apologies forthwith. Also martinis.

But say you don't know who you are, or maybe you know me but I don't know you, or maybe you don't know me but you'd like to, or maybe we all know each other just fine and dandy and isn't that nice? Well, have I got something to show you:

Tamara clued me in and Sir reminded me, and since I've got nothing better to do today (the law) won't you stop in to say hello?

    i have to admit that i was very relieved to hear that you won't be at TCon this year because i also won't be at TCon this year and i'd hate to miss out on hanging out with you. AGAIN.

    You probably aren't surprised to hear that I read your blog(s). That's right. ALL OF THEM.

    I misread her URL and momentarily thought that Tamara's blog was called tamaragravy and I was like, 'I need to meet this woman RIGHT NOW!', but no. Sadly.

    What's your excuse for not going to TC this year? Racist against the state of New Mexico?

    'sir,' my name is frequently misread for "gravy." good times!

    hello kat!

    well, gravy IS delicious.

    hi tam!

    hi kat!

    my theory is that most people are subconsciously thinking about gravy about 87% of the time, and thus when they glance at my name the misread just comes right out.

    Abigail, I'll definitely be showing up in Santa Fe for TC, barring any unforeseen junk.

    Well, kat!, I'm not so much "lurking" as "stalking", but, you know, use whatever term you feel the most comfortable with.

    (I'd tell you all a story about my attractive nuisance, but, you know, I'm in Texas where the pretty girls all have guns, so I have to step careful.)

    I'm around and reading, even if I'm not always commenting. So I guess I'm not a lurker so much as I am lazy and/or tongue-tied.

    hi kat.

    I'm a late lurker. But being law-geeky myself I loved your post.

    I don't really lurk. (In fact, I'm downright obnoxious what with the "Oh gawd, there's Shari commenting AGAIN" thing I've established for myself.) But I'm HERE! Hi!
