F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Are the lanes big enough to accomodate all the hoop skirts?

The petticoats I wear nowadays are easier to bowl in. IJS.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I have lots of boots! And a tiara.

And I've been to the frozen yogurt place, AIFG.

This one was called "The Lion's Den"

Ha! That reminds me of a Cory Branan song that, as far as I know, exists only on bootleg recordings that smonster and I and a bunch of our friends pass around. Something about an albino hooker with a tattoo across her knuckles that read sin, but she spelled it with two n's, and waking up in a kiddie pool filled with gin with three broke ribs and a grin. But they met at a club called The Lion's Den. With Cory's accent, all of that rhymes.

The status is NOT quo.

Liese, that story is AWESOME.

I added Rose Tree Cottage and Vroman’s to the original proposal post. Pix "F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us" Oct 21, 2011 10:32:51 am PDT

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee, Pix, you in particular can picture Dave sauntering into the cowboy bar, and the affect it might have.

Rose Tree Cottage looks lovely!

I may have chortled. Out loud. In a public place. The best part is that he didn’t just say, “Thanks, but I’m married. This is my wife.”

Btw, I know you have an interest in Asian history--I thought you in particular might enjoy the Pacific Asia Museum here in town. It has a stellar reputation, and I’m ashamed to admit I’ve never been. I think the best part of people coming to visit is that it forces you to be a tourist in your own city.

Our wings are not tired

Liese, you and Dave have to come to the F2F so that we can hang out again!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's a principle thing! She should just back off because he says he's not interested! It shouldn't take a pre-existing relationship!

Nothing would ever happen in bars if people followed this credo.

Well, I'll file you under "No does not mean no" then. I'm still sticking to my guns, though.

Fewer bad things would happen in bars if people followed this.
