When e-friends Meet IRL!

8:56 PM

Chaviva Gordon-Bennett

Tonight, @enfini and I got word that @Extended_Vacay was in the hood having dinner, so we decided to walk over and say hello IRL (in real life), which was a true treat. I love @Extended_Vacay's Louisiana accent and quiet reserve.

@enfini is wearing the radioactive shirt and @Extended_Vacay is rocking a stylish fedora!
(You know which one is me, right?)

And even as she and her friends offered us some nosh, I didn't have the heart to tell them I was fleishig (they were at Mocha Bleu, a restaurant I don't recommend)! It was nice to meet yet another friend from the invisible and vast online world in the flesh.

Drew said...: Aw, it was great to meet y'all and I'm glad it worked out! Also, I'm still learning to talk over other people in conversation. It must be a New York thing so I always come off way quieter and shyer than I actually am. :-); 9:44 PM
Chaviva Gordon-Bennett said...: :) Your quietness reminded me of a simpler, more silent place than the NY area. It was a breathe of fresh air. I've become very talk-over-or-die. Shabbos tables around here force me into that mode! Eeek.; 10:52 PM

About the Jewess

I began this blog in April/May 2006 shortly after converting to Judaism under Reform auspices in Lincoln, Neb., as a way to discuss my journey. After all, the Jewish journey doesn't end with conversion, it's where it starts! This blog winds its way through a variety of cities -- Lincoln, Washington D.C., Chicago, Storrs (CT), Teaneck (NJ), and Denver -- as well as a variety of jobs. I trekked through Reform Judaism to Conservative to Orthodoxy while living in Chicago and converted Orthodox on January 1, 2010. I've been married and divorced since my Orthodox conversion and would proudly say I'm denominationally "Underconstructionist."

The purpose of this blog is to share my story, my struggles, my ups and my downs, and to connect with others about anything and everything Jewish and social media. Write me, talk to me, comment, and be well!
