In no particular order: **Eve** - because she’s just mahhhh-velous **Zenster** - because he’s a marvel of contradictions **dropzone** - who seems like a wonderful, easy-going person **Hometownboy** - for the same reason as dropzone **Angel of the Lord** - a very nice, level-headed young lady with a good heart **Czarcasm** - who is smart and funny when he’s not being a mod, and flat-out funny when he is **Lynn Bodoni** - so we can do crafty-girl stuff together **MercyStreet** - I think she is gone now, and I miss her. She’s hilarious. **NoClueBoy** - because I think he’d be a riot There are at LEAST a dozen more Dopers circling around my brain just now, but I’m very prone to mixing up names. I’ll do some mental sorting and get back to you. ---

I’ve been lucky enough to meet a few Dopers already, and they’re a grand bunch! (Well, except for that old **swampbear** - such a scruffy specimen! 😛 ) Honestly, I’d love to meet all of ya, but my short list includes: **Rue DeDay** , of course - we’ve exchanged emails since the days of Uncle Rue, Story Guy, and I feel like I know him and his family already. **Cartooniverse** - we used to chat semi-regularly on IM and he cracks me up. We were within a few days of meeting a few months back, but we couldn’t sync up. **Eutychus** - I talked with him on line a few times, too, and I’d really like to meet him. **Aries28** - just to give her a hug for the Book Fairies effort. **Kallessa** - mistress of bad puns. I’m going to stop here, knowing I’ve probably hurt feelings by not mentioning someone. Honestly, I’d invite any Doper into my home - heck, I let **swampy** sit on my couch!! 😃 ---

Mods, please lock this thread as I’m going to cry 'cos no-one’s mentioned me. I’m a lovely person, honest. And I always get my round in… Seriously though: jjimm: Because he’s funny, and likes to drink and swear, which is pretty much all I require in a person. Since discovering he’s married though, my feelings for him are no more than sisterly admiration. No, really, it’s true! Angua: Because she’s also funny and likes a drink, plus she’s a TP fan. And she’s awesomely brainy, and I don’t yet have enough people in my life to make me feel inadequate. fizzygoodmakefeelnice: for mutual Bernard appreciation. ---

And I plan to meet you, **garius** , unless my business fully tanks. I’d like to meet just about everyone, so I don’t know whether I should join this lovefest. Maybe **Mastema** because every now and then he needs a good thrashing. And **Jonmarzie** (sp?) because I’m curious of whether he’s a boy or a girl. **Weirddave** so he’ll stop invading my countries. **Jonathan Chance** because he throws good parties. **White Lightning** and **Munch** because they’re both such avid football (American version) fans. **Hickory** to buy him a lobster and beer dinner and say “thank you”. See, this thing is getting long already and I haven’t scratched the tip of the iceberg (he says, mixing his metaphors). ---

However, I’d just _kill_ to meet **Eve** , and although we have been in the same room at the same time, I’d love to spend some time picking **Ed Zotti** ’s brain. Also on my list are **Qagdop** , **twickster** , **brianjedi** and the rest of people in chat whom I haven’t met yet. Robin ---

I’ve met scores already, but a few have either eluded me or are just too far away. **Eve** , I’ve nearly met several times, and I’d still love to just because I think she’d be a lot of fun just to chat with. I’d like to meet **giraffe** because he seems like such fun and I can formally apologize for not being able to come through with the t-shirt. **garius** definately sounds like a guy I can sit over a few drinks with. ---

Thanks, **BBJ** , and the feeling is returned. I feel pretty lucky that I’ve already met most of the Dopers named so far. I’d like to meet the Euro-Dopers, especially **jjimm** , **Yojimbo** , **Twistofate** , **Angua** , **Garius** , and **Coldfire**. Ditto for all the Oz Dopers, and also my lavender compadres **Esprix** , **Matt\_Mcl** , **MrVisible** , **Homebrew** , and **Swampbear**.
