Why things are awkward between me and Rupert Breheny

Do you want to know why I suck? I suck because I mistook Rupert to be a good friend of the obnoxious dude who latched onto our 43 Things meetup, so I barely spoke to him except to say things like “is there any way for us to uninvite this guy?” Rupert was innocent of any guilt by association, of course, but we got stuck at different tables and never really got a chance to talk. Yet, even in our brief interactions I could sense that he’s a very nice guy. Rupert, next time I’m in London, I totally owe you a pint or two and some friendly conversation. And thanks for being one of the fun and not at all obnoxious people who came to the party. Everyone enjoyed meeting you and appreciated your un-Julian-like qualities.

Julian's a mystery.

Someone – I believe it was Moose or Evenstar – told me that Julian was actually a banned member of the site, kicked off for flaming. But so many rumours abounded about that guy – mostly from his own mouth – that it’s hard to tell truth from reality. Something tells me that’s a problem he has as well.

That was me...

and I’m afraid I have to put my hands up to being a disgraceful rumour-monger, since I was only repeating what Alyssa told me and have no idea if it’s true or not!

He was certainly

very fond of The Devil Wears Prada :o)

Yes - about that...

He certainly was a handful, wasn’t he! I met him when he was half way through his drinking session, at which point he befriended me because I couldn’t find the 43ers.

I left him two bottles of wine later, and had hoped that he was going to behave himself in public. Kind of like one of those pups that gets over excited when you come home from work with a bunch of strangers who proceed to lavish attention on him.

I can’t say a bad word about him as he saved me from sitting like a lemon all on my own – but hope that you recover from all that puppy saliva!
