The Wrath of Dawn
I've just seen a face
I weirded out a fellow blogger yesterday evening. She's a local who now lives in the US and is fairly well known in the blogging world. I knew she was in the province because she's been blogging about it, but never expected to run into her. As I stood up to leave a theatre, I looked to my left and there she was, seated three seats over. It took me a second to put a name to the face (thank you menopause, you brain-stealing bitch), but I recognized instantly that I'd seen that face somewhere before. When I could recall the name, I leaned over and said, "Excuse me. Aren't you Blogger-who-shall-remain-nameless?" She said yes and so I told her how I'd recognized her and said, "Great blog!" She looked decidedly uncomfortable, so I mumbled something I hoped sounded like a graceful exit and exited, stage left.
Now I'm left wondering if I should have just kept my mouth shut. I'm sure she was wondering just how big of a nutcase I was and whether or not she should brace herself to run.
What think you, fine denizens of the interwebs? WWTID*? Should you say hi to fellow bloggers IRL?
*what would TEH INTERWEBS do?

Pay her no mind. Bloggers are weirdos with no social skills. It's a burden we all carry. :)
i agree with jkirlin...you may even have made her miserable day!!
Nah - you were polite and unstalker-ish. :)
It's a good thing I didn't say what I first thought, which was, "You're even prettier in person than in your pictures!"
Thus proving that there are still SOME brain functions not lost for all time.
Some people just don't know how to handle teh stardom...
But Pseudonymph, the mysterious blogger doesn't know about the candlelit shrine. Once they know that, it's straight to the ineffectual restraining order.
I think the right thing to do would have been to secretly take her photo, then post it on your blog with a bit "w00t!!!! Look who I saw!!!!!" type post.
Or maybe not.
You can find out what she really thought when she writes about you in her blog.
So...what did she say about you?
Nothing yet.
But no restraining order, either, so that's good.
Nah, you should have sidled up behind her and said, I know where you live (your name here), and sidled off again.
Ooh, Debter's evil.
Yup thats me
