eek, strangers!

by

the evening started out with a far-too-fucking-perky waitress trying not to make me feel bad for sitting alone in a restaurant reading a book while i waited for my “friend” to join me. then progressed into presents (colene gave me redemption of althalus and survival of the prettiest: the science of beauty for my birthday — isn’t she the coolest?), food and gossip. then came the meeting strangers part:
richard is much taller than i expected him to be, so is mark (who doesn’t sound anything like i imagined). david still reminds me of craig and i can’t help but wonder if that is why i liked him as soon as we started talking. ritchie is hilarious and has the cutest dimples. greg intrigued me for unknown reasons. unfortunately, i didn’t get a chance to talk to lauren or steve at all, but i did have a few moments with callie while we waited to pay our tab and kent before he left for another engagement. tina is adorable and funny — it’s no wonder all the boys like her. i’m forgetting several people, but i’m old, so it’s okay.
all in all it was a good night and an even better experience. i’m so used to these meetings of net.people taking place in foreign locales that to have it happen in my own back yard is slightly disconcerting. i hope our group mirror shot turned out because most of my pictures didn’t. i’ll probably post some of the clearer ones when i get home later. or maybe i won’t, like i hope they won’t post any of the photos of me (i looked like crap).
p.s. sorry for the postcard dissing, derrick. it was in my mailbox when i got home last night. thank you!
p.p.s. we’re (derrick, colene & i) are planning on going bowling next friday (july 26th). if anyone is interested in joining the fun, let one of us know!
