Friends and Fiends
Feb. 4th, 2003 12:38 pmGot back late last night from a trip to the west coast to visit my friends.
In Seattle there was happy drunkenness with Marilyn and her friends; hot cocoa and laughter with Lilly and Margaret and Lilly's son and Margaret's new baby girl; lunch, lattes, and a precocious two-year-old with Lori; rain (of course, it's Seattle); shopping for my favorite treats at the Pike Place Market (Milk Chocolate Covered Sun Dried Cherries from Chukar Cherries); dinner with the lovely and funny
jacynrebekah and
joyfulgirl41; a drink at the Wild Rose (a lesbian bar where I was by far the most girly one in the place); and more that I'm sure I just can't remember.
Then there was the train ride to Vancouver. Watching the water and the mountains and the beautiful sky (the sun had come out) was amazing.
In Vancouver there was an incredible amount of fun and laughter with
anathema666,
divafive,
eisakay, and
thamiris. There was lots of good food, The Sentinel, good coffee, the best sex toy shop I've ever seen (Womyns'Ware), the Muppets 25th Anniversary CD, The Daily Show, Puppets Who Kill, shopping on Commercial Drive, scaring
eisakay's mom without meaning to do so, unhooking of bras, sneaking pictures of those who don't like their picture taken, buying the Hot Hot Heat CD I've been wanting for months (I love "Bandages"), Purdy's Chocolates, Pocky, the SkyTrain, laughing over Margaret Cho's "gay daddy" bit with the waitress, and the desire to spend more time with all of the women I know in Vancouver...I adore you all.
And now? Back at home, I find I'm annoyed. Damn it all, coming back home to the bills and the laundry and the dishes and the not-recorded-after-all Carson Daly Show with MR and all that crap - especially after having so much fun - sucks ass. I'm stomping around in an entirely pissed off mood.
*sigh* I've missed you all and am slowly catching up on LJ.
Oh and...I'm considering making some Valentines Day Cards. So if you're not already on my mailing list and would like one, feel free to email me or comment with your address. If I'm not too lazy, you'll be getting some Valentine lovin' in the snail mail. (But you'll have to imagine the Valentine smoochies as I haven't figured out how to mail those yet.)

Date: 2003-02-04 12:41 pm (UTC)I've been taping the Sentinel on Sci-Fi and dipped my toe into the fanfiction waters over the weekend. I'm vaguely shamed about it, because the first season was so bad. I mean, I fast forwarded through 70% of the plots looking for slashy goodness. The second season appears to at least have improved the cliche-ridden dialogue somewhat, and I'm seeing more vibage between Jim and Blair. The way everyone talks about this show I was expecting first season Lex scorching looks right off the bat!
