Things I (Re)Learned This Weekend in No Particular Order

1. faris_nallaneen has wicked sharp teeth.
2. Also, silvergirl is not as straight as previously suspected.
3. kayjaywhy is a font of bouncy, fun times.
4. I can now park at Torchwood, courtesy rm
5. wordsofastory is both elegant and eloquent, but not cute¹. She can, moreover, hula-hoop.
6. So can sykii.
7. I, however, cannot.
8. Rotgut whiskey is bad, mmmkay?
9. Playing pool is fun. I even won a few games.
10. magnetgirl and I can still elicit the 'thumbs up' from tie wearing douchebags whilst kissing. Really, how many times can I say - we are not the lesbians you are looking for. Move along.
11. I still am not cool² enough to know the electric slide.
12. Can't argue with diplomatic hurricane. It's better than diplomatic flu, 'cause you don't have to pretend to have been sick later. Hanna was a better guest, anyway. She scared away the weak of will, not to mention the other bar denizens. Ha!

I had a good time. And then hungover Sunday, with D. and the Bronx Krewe, and of course, the Doctor, without whom no party is complete.

Birthday loot now includes
(from magnetgirl and her boy) - tickets to Chamber Magic at the Waldorf, where I am told I will discover that sorcery is real. Also, it's jacket & tie. Awesome!
(from sykii) - opera glasses (I shall take them to the floating opera in redhook! it will be fabulous!), antique pulp - if there's such a thing - the Red Lily, by Anatole France, and The Imaginary Poets
(from askeladden) - a book called Creepers, which I hadn't heard of (but the flyleaf is a map of a memento mori cemetary; cannot go wrong with that!!!), and Bloody Jack, YA cross dressing pirate adventure.
(from rm) - the aforementioned Torchwood parking permit. Now a ticket to Cardiff, a pan-dimensional surfboard, and I'm all set...

¹This last part is a complete lie. She is totally cute.
²For a given value of cool...
