What did you end up wearing, Allyson?
Dark blue jeans, a black poet blouse and satin chinese slippers with little pink flowers stitched on them.
And an orange sparkly flower in my hair.
I felt okay. Some of the fans dressed up in, er, costume, and I think maybe that was silly. It was silly. I'm not going to waffle about it.
Cutest moment was when a fellow fan whispered in my ear, "Allyson, you've been to these sorts of Hollywood things before, right?"
I said yes.
She said, "Are there always a group of half naked blond women giggling and flirting and trying to get attention from anyone in the business?"
I said yes.
She said, "I saw two men holding hands. That's the way it should be, like no one should care about it, but I've never seen it happen."
I smiled and said yes.
I would have sat with her the whole time. She was just sort of quietly watching everything and taking it all in, and had the best things to say.
Aww, Nutty, I went to that article thinking I was going to read about baseball players actually throwing each other under buses. Now I will mope.
Dear Hec, while Emmett is undoubtedly the best 9 near old evah, aren't you worried about spoiling him? Signed, didn't get a shuffle and a bike for MY birthday, damn it.
and I'm not sure if something was wrong with the pill, since it seemed smaller than usual (blister pack you basically have to lick the quick-dissolving pill out of)
I took that one once. Maxalt? Orange thingy?

FTR, my coat was RED, not brown.
"Are there always a group of half naked blond women giggling and flirting and trying to get attention from anyone in the business?"
Welcome to LA...
FTR, I was neither half-naked nor giggling.
I took that one once. Maxalt? Orange thingy?
Mine's white, but yeah, Maxalt. It works more often than Imitrex, though less thoroughly.

No, that would be Carl Everett.

I tend to buy myself presents for my birthday. Like, a computer! Which, in the process of stockign with software, I discovered that I could download iTunes for free. In fact, I had to, because it was bundled in with Quicktime.
It is to whoa. Rafael Palmeiro attempted to throw his teammate Miguel Tejada under the bus. And failed.
Oh. A metaphorical bus. Maybe I can get my jaw off the floor now, if not completely closed.
Polish typists must be the most nimble in the world. Typing names like Rodziewiczowna and Przybysz all the time could only make you very dexterous.
You would really really be surprised. I'm no nimble typist -- as anyone who has been on AIM with me can attest -- but, given the motivation, I can spell Yastrzemski corerctly nine times out of ten.
Coach K from Duke, NSM, but I'm not a basketball fan.
Oh. A metaphorical bus. Maybe I can get my jaw off the floor now, if not completely closed.
I was in the same mental place.
