"I'm funnier in the back seat."

Well, that was certainly a weekend.

--I toddled on up to the St. Johns Bizarre for a bit on Saturday, because I'd heard about a recent collaboration one of my awesome clients did, where she'd made jewelry using recycled camera parts. Naturally, I HAD to go to her booth and pick up some of those, and I'd been meaning to visit with her anyway, so it made for a nice excuse to enjoy some sun.

--I went over to marykae's after that, to watch a few episodes of Party Down with her and Andrew. I got some pretty unpleasant news while there, so I was distracted for part of it, but the show was hilarious and featured a metric ton of Veronica Mars alums, so I still laughed and enjoyed.

--Then, it was pre-W00tstock dinner, and W00tstock itself, which I've already covered to some extent. I am still finding it impossible to choose a single point of awesome to comment upon, but I figure that's a good thing. I also ran into several people whom I hadn't seen in ages, but, given that I've historically run with nerds, and we were attending a show geared towards nerd hilarity, that shouldn't have been surprising.

--THEN, it was saofoir's birthday party, which was much more relaxed-and-groovy than I expected, and that was perfect for the mood I was in. It's always nice to slow down and enjoy the company of others, without the wild-and-crazy-party atmosphere. :) And her new tattoo is beautiful!

--Sunday was a late breakfast and a fairly impromptu trip to the coast with katlyn and daemonwise. It was a gorgeous day, and I snagged some photos that I liked quite a bit, so I'll have to toss them up on Flickr soon. I got a lot of hugs, some much-needed barefoot wading time, and oh my LORD, did we have some good laughs along the way.

--Today's opener for Taurus: You've probably had enough communication snafus to last you for a while, so you are ready for Mercury's retrograde to end. Oh, horoscope. Why are you so eerily accurate these days?

In closing, I received a comment on the ol' Facebook, telling me that I looked "so pretty and happy" in a recent photo. This was rather amusing, because I was anything but happy, at the time it was taken.

Never let it be said that I don't put on a fantastic Stiff Upper Lip. I dare say I'm handling my shit like a rockstar, so far. And it feels good.

Always a bonus.

I had a really good time on Friday night drinking not-pints with you. Next time I'll try and tempt you to the Scottish pub!

I -am- funnier in the back seat. ;P It was good to have you guys in stitches; it made -me- feel better.

And yah... Mercury Retrograde inTaurus. Have fun with that, Taurus Kids! (Of which I am, partly. So. Much. Fun.) Attempted communication has sucked, quite a bit.

Yes! First Avatar showing this Sunday, if you and Mike are both up for it. :) I'm excited! I think we can get in at least 6 episodes a day... they're 22 minutes long or some such.

Very little coaxing is necessary when there's a Scottish pub involved. :)

It was really, really good to laugh that day. :) And it was awesome spending the time with you both.

Avatar is now on my calendar for Sunday! Huzzah!

It's been said that I don't give myself enough credit, so now's as good a time as any to start. ;)

Damn right!

I hope you're not "keeping a stiff upper lip" around me or our friends (the Imnaha/w00tstock crowd). If you are, knock it off. We'll like you even if you're having a crappy day, I promise. :-)

I endorse this comment!

[skeets.livejournal.com]

Trust me when I say that it was really, really not a good time or place to go into it. And really, after 4 1/2 hours of laughing one's ass off at W00tstock, I don't think *anyone* could stay in a completely bad mood, least of all me. :)

But still, thank you. I really appreciate the sentiment and the support, and I'll remember that the next time I have something worth wailing about. ;)

Oh, well, yeah. You also don't have to go into the sordid details of anything that may be causing your crappy day. Unless that would help. I just hope you feel like you can act naturally around me/us -- no matter what "naturally" means at that given moment.
