I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Matt, it's never too early. My own thinking is, the sooner the big details are taken care, the more people can focus on the smaller ones, like, what you would like in the way of food in the hospitality suite when you arrive, and if you're planning on joining the freakfest that is Bay to Breakers.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

All your smonster is belong to us. We have wandered a bit of North Beach and Chinatown, but the pissing rain has made it difficult to wander much. Now, we may nap and then go out. We shall see.

juliana, on my way out the door with a futon for you. Will ring you up when I get there.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hi. Am back in NC. Am 2 for 2 getting sick in SF. Had stunningly fabulous time anyway. Must see if can muster up pronouns.

Dinner on Thursday was terrific. The teens were hugely entertaining and very sweet. I think C worships debg now, as is right and proper. Sparky tried to bet me $10 that JZ would look gorgeous, and thankfully I was smart enough not to take that bet. Katie Bee was unfortunately too awkwardly placed for us to chat - we'll have to remedy that next time, m'dear. Hec was witty as ever, and amusingly merciless in teasing the girls. Lexine is a dear, and funny, and I have so much respect for her.

After class on Thursday I was angry and upset and frustrated and quite the ball of negative energy, but y'all took me out of my head and turned my mood right around, so thanks for that, too.

There aren't enough thanks in the world to repay the generosity of Sparky and her DH, juliana, and debg for supplying the flippy bed. I literally couldn't have made this trip without Buffista hospitality. I must say that juliana's actual bed has a tractor beam-like gravity field, and I don't mean porn. For a while on Sat. I actually couldn't lift my head off the pillow.

Hope I didn't bore everyone with my talk of glute squeezing, isolations, and drinking the Suhaila koolaid.

I adore all of you and hope to see you again soon.

So, Sparky thought you were a total sucker...? NO one would take that bet. When doesn't JZ look superb?

Yay, Toddson! Book that room!

I thought she was tired, and if I spoke really fast she wouldn't get it and I'd make a quick buck.

What?

I wouldn't have taken smonster's money.

Really.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Uh huh.


JZ - Jan 30, 2006 11:08:28 am PST #6587 of 10001
See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

HAR. Y'all are grooming my ego immensely, which is nice because just twenty minutes before I walked in the door at Helmand, I was on the phone with my mom, stark naked and weeping about what a swollen bloated cow I'd become since going on the Marriage With Small Children Diet (a.k.a. all mac'n'cheese, all the time). (Logically I know this to be untrue, but that evening Logic was most definitely not steering the tugboat).

JZ, I seem to recall I was weepy, morose, and in rainsoaked jeans. My hair was plastered to my skull.

You, otoh, looked sensational. Of course, sitting at the juliana end of the table, I'd pretty much need a time machine to keep up....

Speaking of which, I ought to buy you lunch sometime this week. How's your schedule? Only no for me would be Friday.
