Ok, sent, and yes, I think drink sounds better... I spent a good half hour typing it out, but here's what I wrote, more or less, somewhat edited for privacy:
I followed >>2's suggestions, saying I had a fun time, mentioned a topic of common interest, gave her a couple questions for something to answer with, and gave a reason to see her again perhaps, dangling that as a possibility, to see what she says...
I know how "e-mail chains" can become an entire relationship, where people never really meet, and it just dies off, and I don't want that to even have a chance of happening...
Hopefully, I did well... Now I play the Waiting Game... (Though Hungry Hungry Hippo sounds more fun...)

Hello again, this is (Me)! It was cool meeting you Saturday, I had a good time just talking! Hope the rest of your day was as fun, though I'm sure you were just as happy to get out of there later!! :D
Hope you got your registration in for (upcoming convention), I'm looking forward to it, and now that you've got me thinking about (show) again, I'm thinking about cosplaying as (character I've actually cosplayed as) again! ;) (Though this time I shall get (voice actors) to sign their respective characters!)
It's a shame they won't give you the proper time off to get a room at (upcoming convention), but at least it pays the way, eh? :( Have you been working there long? Hopefully soon enough you'll have the seniority to get some time off!!
I know when I've gone to (another convention), the first time I only took Friday off, and it was a miiisssssstake! :D The second year I went, I took Thursday & Friday, went down Thursday, and had a much smoother time, and much more relaxing (though ferrying five people out of that city in my car wasn't as fun, hehe!) I'm contemplating (another convention) thus far, thinking about it... I missed last year, but I intend to go again :D
Well, best get back to work for me (I'm a computer techie in the IT department up at (workplace) here in (town):D ) Gotta make up my guilt of spending on those DVDs this past weekend, albeit totally worthwhile! ^_^ Though I'm sure you'll do the same, earmarking what you're going to get come payday! ;)
Worst part was that even with (Convention) coming up, I've still bought things like Street Fighter IV and Condemned, Criminal Origins... (I love fighting games & survival horror, amongst others, though admittedly, Condemned was used, so I don't feel so much guilt!) Come to think of it, you said you've got a Wii, what all games do you have for it? I've got a fair amount, and I've been playing XBox 360 lately, admittedly, so heck, if I stop over there shopping, I could lend you some games to have some fun with, and we could catch a drink somewhere, if you like. (and yes, I'll admit, my xbox Gamertag is also (Gamertag) ;)
Anywho, thus do I become verbose and ramble once more, so consequently, thus, back to work for me! (though I daresay it's lunchtime... 0.o)
Hope ye have a fun day!
(me)
