It's just that for one of the styles, in addition to the likes (facts, details, knowing what's next) there were the dislikes, which included "role-playing" (causing me to do a silent "AMEN!").
Oh, hell yeah.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
This morning while I was telling Leif to put on his underwear (we're in the middle of potty training), he responded with "Ok, Babycake". I'm not sure why he called me "Babycake".

Whimper. I gave my bridesmaids amethyst earrings. Real amethysts, but not expensive. We gave the groomsmen small spyderco knives (one of which I still have because the groomsman in question was flying home without checked luggage and I haven't gotten around to mailing it to him). I was a bad bride. I'd better never get married again.
We were invited to the wedding of the couple's shower people, but we didn't go because it was in Mississippi the first weekend of JazzFest. Who plans a wedding like that?

So I'm feeling a bit conflicted. I pre-ordered Harry Potter, but I can't possibly afford to read it until my classes are over for the summer. I may have to ask vw to confiscate it when it comes. But I really want to read it, and if I don't will have to avoid people's livejournals. Which I should be doing anyway, because, hello, classes!
Or maybe the post office will leave it outside at the bus stop and someone will steal it, neatly resolving the problem.

What is even happening?
The FAC brides whose weddings I was in (3 or 4; I can't remember any more) gave crap bridesmaids gifts. I went shopping with one bride for the gifts, which were really ugly $10 rhinestone earrings from Claire's that we were expected to wear with the dresses.
Heh. Earrings and gloves were my gifts to my bridal party. I got married in the year of the weddings among our family and friends. I think my own wedding was something like 8th or 10th in ~ as many months. I was broke. So was my bridal party. I can't remember if I gave them anything else, or not.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sure you did just fine, -t. Let it go!!

No, that's nice! Amethysts != rhinestones. Seriously.

But were the earrings just unrelentingly ugly? If not, then good gift.

Have I mentioned that I've been having a recurring dream that DH and I are having another wedding because the first one wasn't right?
Deep breath. Letting it go!
Thanks, Emily, that's reassuring. (And Tep. I thought they were pretty, so that will have to do)
