It’s Hell Being a Hermit Sometimes

I’ve been more of a hermit than usual these last few weeks, and that’s saying something. My headspace is still screwed beyond belief and the days are all running together. I can’t seem to focus on shit.

But my hermit days are coming (once again) to a close. As the weeks progress, there are all sorts of travel events on the road. TequilaCon, of course, is next month. I’m all booked, except for the hotel. And I’ll be heading home to Alamogordo for a few days after Santa Fe. Haven’t been back to Alamo since my 20th reunion.

Then there’s the possible FabCon, which I haven’t decided on yet. It just falls in between the other items on my list this year and, honestly, finances will decide my fate at that one. I know a lot of cool people are going, which is definitely an incentive.

Neil, Citizen of the MonthThen there’s BlogHer in July. This’ll be my 4th BlogHer. Hard to believe. And for the first time, I’ll have a male roommate: Neil Kramer of Citizen of the Month.

I’ve known Neil for a few years now, having hung out with him in California and New York. Oddly, he’s been fairly close by me in Florida recently but I couldn’t make my way over to West Palm Beach county.

And tonight on SecondHand Radio, Neil will be my guest. It was his birthday last week, so I’m sure we’ll discuss how he spent his birthday in the land of blue hair. He also celebrated a blogiversary, since he launched Citizen of the Month on his birthday 4 years ago.

Together we shall make hundreds of women melt at BlogHer. We shall be the center of parties, where women will giggle helplessly, saying, “I can’t believe it’s Neil AND Karl – together! In one place!”

Believe it, baby. We’re the power male couple, so to speak.

I hope you’ll join us tonight for an hour of fun conversation. There’s a chatroom available, which opens 15 minutes before showtime. And you’re all welcome to call in and say hi to Neil. While you’re all engaged in sexual fervor at some virtual sex toy party, you should tune into SecondHand Radio.

    If you’re a hermit, I don’t even know what kind of label should be slapped on me. I wish I could go to all those blogger events. I envy you!

    @Secondhand Karl, Aww, you are so sweet! But you’re going to regret you said that because if I ever make it to one of these things now, I’m going to be stuck to your side like glue. :)
