Wench says,

Believe. Long before the hats, I felt like we were on the same wavelength. I love all of the regulars on this site and enjoy our interaction, but there is a deeper connection that I feel like I've made with only a handful. I feel like Believe and I 'click'.

This is a slightly different question than the one Believe asked a while back, which Sixer are you most *interested* to meet? I'm most interested to meet hieronimo.

notjustagirlintheworld says,

Having met L2L3 in person and several others (Steve, CT via chat) I would love to meet Believe maker of hats and warmer of hearts in person and I'm also curious about some of our less regular regulars like Sarafina and BetsyJo....Betsyjo actually promoted the question. There are several folks who pop us irregularly and always seem to have something really great to say. I wish I had the discipline to only post when I had a *really* good one. I would like to give BJD a bear hug and see for myself if Loon's shell is as hard as would like us to think. I am sure I am leaving someone out...

notjustagirlintheworld says,

Oh and Tea Topper feels like a kindred spirit and CF is always there with a cheerful comment as is LL. I'll be back when my addled brain sees the next six (and sixer) I enjoy.

Dragonflower says,

I am having major flashbacks to 7th grade when no one picked me to dance at our mandatory dance class party. !!

This is a great question, though, on many levels for me because I am an introvert. Meeting people has always been hard for me because I am very quiet. This is something I am actively trying to overcome during this year of my "be bold" plan.

So, for now, my answer is no one. Yet. Hopefully, if my plan goes swimmingly, then sometime this year I will want to meet everyone! I know the PC answer is that everyone is great, but in this case, on this site-- everyone IS great!

notjustagirlintheworld says,

adding you to my list :D

Layne says,

I'd like to meet so many of you because of just the little comments or interactions we've had they have helped me more than anything.

I would love to meet primrose though. She comes around occasionally, kind of like me, with wonderful things to say. I think she's a teen too so I wonder how she gets her inspiration and if her life is anything similar to mine. I really hope she sees this:)

thesagittarian12 says,

I've long has a fascination (not to be confused with infatuation) with Contemplative. There's something about her that pushes my curiosity button. I'd also love to know if that iconic profile photo is actually her.

lillybrook says,

BanjoDan would get a bear hug from me, too. He just seems very huggable. Today I'd want to meet Bevvie and DDC and Believe and Amapola and Wench -- and njagitw, you too. And I would want to meet you, Autumn22; I think we'd have great, long conversations.

But I also think it's a beautiful thing that we all have these ebbing and flowing relationships here without knowing each other "in person."

maryjane31 says,

I would like to meet Larry Smith. Also BanjoDan, Dean, and jl333, and so many others. Actually I want to meet all of you at a gathering and try and guess who you were. I am very good at that.Also JAD and lovelylizard. Too many to mention.

Dean6805 says,

There are many I'd like to meet, as well. DDC, Believe, CT, Steve, KJ, Sag, BD, AT, Contemplative, Mary, Wench, Autumn, NJAG, Larry... The list could go on and on. The minds and the hearts of members here won me over very soon after discovering Smith, and I would consider it a great honor to count you all among my real-world friends.

Bevvie says,

I'll start with L2L3 since I almost met her. We did talk for a while on the phone. She kept me laughing the entire time. There are many more Sixers who have sent me messages. I would love to meet them. Of course I want to meet the maker of my Believe hat. One day!

canadafreeze says,

I feel like I've met many of you already. I feel a special kinship - it is as if we share a brain some days. I'd like to be a fly on the wall with everyone gathered in one place :-) and try to put names and faces together.

lillybrook says,

I see another SMITH get together in the works for summer???? (I wish I had a place to host). SMITH Convention???

JAD says,

Would love to meet all regulars. Won't name don't want to leave out anyone.

KharisJo says,

ditto JAD, would like to meet everyone at a sixer convention and play match the name tag to the sixer :)

Mourningdove says,

I want to meet all the regulars! I love the way you all make me laugh, I look forward to seeing what's new.

L2L3 says,

Davio and Oopsie. History counts.

accidentaltourist says,

Oh...match the name tag would be a fun mixer at Wordstock.

unknown116 says,

I vote yes for a sixer convention. I think it would be fun to meet everyone...maybe a guessing game of who is who.

ba_miracle says,

Not just a girl and I can gab about neural pathways and where we hope they take us. Canadafreeze can tell me her life story. I'll see Wench at a future Wordstock and try not to monopolize her time. MisKillie and I can chat about the dear ones we've lost and the cars we've loved. BanjoDan and I can share some comedy relief. Amapola can make me sweeter in a second. Jl333 and I will run a muck on some powered toys like jetskis.
I'll give Calliandralogyn, DynamicD, Hannahmo, oopsie and a few more.....big hugs. Illumnatrix can teach me few extra mysteries.
Dean & Jean just to see em hug. Believe because she gives hope. Dhani to share a discussion. I'm pretty sure I'll be spending multiple times with L2L3. Accidental tourist and I would have a nice day chatting. Rex3 is my kind of gal, Mzejay just to see that beautiful smile. Raised by Wolves and unknowncomic and loon, just to hear them speak....too many to list.

If you are quirky and open minded, you will be irresistible to me.

Dhani says,

I'm a loner in this case 'cuz I'd like to meet EVERYBODY!

TeaTopper says,

Sometimes I wonder why several "heavy hitters" on this site never comment on or favorite my stuff. One thing I've learned, though, is to leave well enough alone. It's so much fun coming here to read and write memoirs. I enjoy imagining who our contributors really are, especially those who like my work. (You know who you are!) Thanks, njgw, for this intriguing question.

Steve__Anthony says,

I have NO less than 25 favorites I would lo-o-ove to meet - mainly literary crushes like Mary, notso... and CT. But the ONE sixer I think I'd really love to meet the most is canadafreeze. She's insightful, thoughtful,deep, giving and very intelligent. She is the COMPLETE package, rare, beautiful, brilliant and one in a million.

ba_miracle says,

There was a question last year to write something about a Sixer...I went on a tangent story telling rhyme(ish. Anyone on that list are people I'd enjoy meeting in person and then so many more.

Of course Larry the leader of Six-Wordsmiths.
Red heads and of course fully reformed criminals.

canadafreeze says,

Wow. I am so flattered, Steve_Anthony. No one has ever been so complimentary. I'm keeping That one close:-)

ctgoods2 says,

gotta say I think I've most wanted to meet each sixer at one point. Everyone has had a story that has touched me in some way - some I comment on because I can't help myself, I am THAT moved. Others have stories so compelling that deserve comment, but I lack the appropriate words. I do think that I'd like to meet the creative guy that made the magic that brought us all together to give my personal thanks and wishes for success. I know this site and each of its contributors have taught me a lot of little things about myself, especially how to share.

BecomingLogyn says,

Is there an everyone option? Because I think it'd be pretty overwhelming but also awesome to meet anyone and everyone from here... just because I'm always creeping on everyone's pages seeing what they've had to say :-)

DynamicDbytheC says,

Thanks for the hugs ba_miracle. I would like to meet all of the regulars who are pretty much represented above. And SusanBreeden who posts infrequently.

Believe says,

There are quite a few. Wench. Marymc. Ctgoods. Notjustagirlintheworld. Banjoman. Loon. Solitaryman.

Believe says,

I accidentally hit Submit.
...Bevvie, DynamicD, SteveAnthony. And many many more!

elljay says,

I am pretty shy but I would love to meet you all and appreciate you in person ... spend a little time treasure hunting inside or outside ... find some bumper cars and go for a bumpy ride or maybe bake cookies or play a few rounds of gin ... any one of a million alchemical adventures in pursuit of: Six words alchemy - strangers become friends.

Redx3 says,

Think I've been fascinated by almost everyone here at one point or another!! September is hardly enough history to pick one.

marymc says,

I have this fear of disappointment. Not that I would be, but that you all would. I'm working on it.

notjustagirlintheworld says,

Oh Mary we couldn't love any more with a gun to our heads :D

jl333 says,

I would love to meet everybody! I love the guessing name tag game idea. Sounds like fun.
