Help, all my photos are blurry.
1. The still photo setting on my pocket video recorder is a little tricky. Please email me your photos of the Meet & Greet with Jon.
2. Jon is way cuter in person than in photos.
3. I am a midget.
Thanks to listbonne, Elle, ifrico, Jeffrey, Ruth, jules, Watermalong, the chronicler of boredom, brewhuh23, atomic_bum, and Jon for coming to the Meet & Greet at La Cuisine.
Jon has just been named captain of the Manila Nomads rugby team.
Momelia, you were sorely missed. (I didn’t read your message until I got home so we figured you’d stood us up because you were horrible haha.) Apologies to the two who didn’t join the group (I tried to murder their books), but the point of the meet & greet was for the readers to mingle, not have the waiter summon me for a private signing. It takes effort to plan these things you know.
Cacs, bomberman and winespirits, you can pick up your orders at La Cuisine.
Random matters discussed at the meet: Favorite death scenes in movies.
listbonne: John Travolta’s in Phenomenon
brewhuh23: Obi Wan-Kenobi in Star Wars
Me: Boromir in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Jon: Satine in Moulin Rouge

I don’t have a blackberry anymore thank god. I’m not responsible enough to own that sort of technology.
I used to play a lot of sports besides rugby when I was younger: basketball, soccer, tennis, and ice hockey all pretty seriously but none appealed to me like rugby did and does. Maybe i’ll try to explain it sometime but I’ll probably get all gooey and sentimental if I do. One thing though is that the high risk really makes you feel alive and helps me concentrate and focus like nothing else does.

Great! Would love to read it on the next “Ask Jon” entries and please do include all the gooey and sentimental stuff.
In the meantime, have a happy Christmas!
