hippybngstockng | Ninjas are NOT disco...

I ended up having a really good weekend, since my mom finally made up her mind, too late for me to throw a big party, but still in the way I had been hoping for. I got to spend Friday and Saturday kid-free. Friday was mostly spent with

uniquecrash5, adventuring and visiting with an old friend of his, and coming home and staying up late watching much silly TV and drinking booze. Then Saturday I popped out of bed still pretty bright and early, but it was a really damn long time before we were near useful enough to get over to the lovely

trinshadow's place where I abandoned

uniquecrash5 to the whims of

wefightforpie and

wefightfortarts. They apparently played video games non-stop until we returned for a while, and then again after we left until I came back and dragged him away.

trinshadow and I went to Value Village, where I displayed my inherent ability to enable in all things, and she introduced me to Zorba. I only left with a pair of fuzzy black cords and a hot hot hot pair of boots, but she managed quite the haul of sexy stuff (largely due to my intense enabling). Then, after coming back to her place and rolling my wonderful husband for cash I turned out not to need, we headed out again over to the still very lovely even when seriously bruised

persephoneplace's place. heh.. Say that ten times fast!!

persephoneplace's place,

persephoneplace's places, playsephoney's purses.... Ah feck.. Nevermind..

Anyway, while we were there, there were other LJ sightings. I got to spend more than 2 minutes actually talking to

halfwitted, and met a lovely boy with purple hair, El-jay named as

mtffm. I spent a great deal of time getting my black clothing coated in white dog hair and doggy love by Toby, who is just the sluttiest, lovinest dog I know, and it was good. Eventually I started feeling the twinge to spend more time with my wonderful

uniquecrash5 before we had to give up our peace and quiet for quite the next little while, at least as far as visits to see grandma go. I dragged

trinshadow back to her house, and dragged

uniquecrash5 back to ours. It was fun introducing him to the boots. Really fun. Like so fun we forgot to eat dinner fun.

We didn't stop there though, since we'd been invited and encouraged by

trinshadow to join her and other tribe folks at The Duke of Wellington, which just happens to be a hop, skip, and a jump from the grocery store right by my house. You mean I could WALK somewhere, and drink, and not kill anyone on my way home? I was IN, especially since I'd get to meat meet the much seen and heard of

much_ado, and

matthew_g who had invited folks out to visit with

foxyfiles who lives far away. I didn't get to talk to her as much as the guy who was

trinshadow's date,

quicktongue, with whom much geeking was done. Loads of fun and good company, and snickering at the antics of K-W Disco Ninjas. A very good night, after a very good day.

We came home after the party started to break up, and watched the largely truncated "Macross Plus", as in the feature length version.. We've watched the OAV a whole butt-load of times, so I couldn't manage to pretend to stay awake much past the first three-way conflict at the park (which we think was actually the end of the first episode of the OAV, though it's been even longer since we watched that, so we can't be sure.) It felt too brief and out of order, and it was bothering me a little. At first I thought it was the pacing, but eventually I decided it was just bothering me, but it'd never bothered me before so I decided to ignore it. Thankfully since it was subbed, I just rolled over and tried to sleep. Un-thankfully, it's a little difficult to sleep to people arguing in Japanese a lot, even if they are doing it to pretty pretty music, especially if you were mixing your booze with coffee all night long.

Further un-thankfully, this morning I was UP at frigging 6, which wouldn't be so bad except that I've been terrifyingly anxious the last, oh, I dunno, WEEKS now. I have days when I feel like I could curl up in a ball under a large heavy rock and just sleep for the next few years until everyone gave me up for dead. This'd be easier today if my mom wasn't expecting me to come get my son and meet her for lunch- Hence the "I don wanna" icon there.. I miss him, I'd just prefer it if it didn't involve needing to see my mom on my birthday. She just has too large a tendency to ruin it for me, usually by saying something she meant to say to be nice. She's special like that.

All that being the case, I had a great fucking weekend, and now I am all sad because it's over. Huzzah for great weekends doing lots of things with lots of fun people that I am getting to know and really like, and feeling like I could definitely be calling this place home for a long long time, if someone would just be nice and start paying us to stay here, and boo for that weekend being over. Booooooooooo. :P
