She is interested in Lego and may eventually pull me into the hobby with her. Personally... I dunno, I didn't feel welcomed at all by the NWBrickcon by the AFOLs who I recognized there, and honestly I don't really blame you individually that much. I understand it's probably very hard to "get" if you haven't ever felt what I feel. All I ask is that you please respect me enough to call me by my real name (the name I am posting under now), and use the correct pronouns if you are going to talk about me.

Hi Molly,
Thanks for putting all those excellent models back up. I hope you do regain an
interest/acceptance in Lego again and wish you all the best wherever life may
take you.

Thanks, Tim.
I do have a feeling I will be back pretty soon. Vanessa has been talking about
Lego since the NWBrickcon and I think she's going to start building a castle
themed creation pretty quick. Once I see someone tinkering with Lego I know the
bug will bite me again. Its just frustrating to not have the parts anymore that
I used to have.
I do appreciate the kind words :)

Sweet more CASTLE! Has Vanessa found classic-castle.com yet?
I was a first-time attendee at NW BRick Con this year and I look forward to
meeting the two of you next year.

well, she has now :)

definately. I love cons; all the action, the giant multi-person layouts, the
utter geekiness of a room full of adults that love Lego so much and the wacky
conversations you overhear... some of my best memories are from Cons.
next year I'm going to be back on the other side of the table tho :) That was my first one as a lowly spectator and its not nearly as interesting as being involved.

I'm getting sneaky. A friend who likes LEGO saw the pics on Flickr from the Con
and I suggested she take the family down next year as spectators. Five minutes
in the room and I bet she we will be back the year following, as you say, on the
other side of the table! Mwuuuah ha ha [evil chuckle].
