Go, smonster!

To put it in Matilda syntax, "I wish for you to have it."

Shee-it, smonster, you must email me the deets!

Dana, yes, we're free on Sunday. Let me know if you prefer brunch or dinner, and if you have any hankerings and/or dietary limitations, and I'll set up something. (unless you would prefer to do so, and by all means go for it, and let us know where and when to show up. I just figured you have enough on your plate that organizing an outing might be a PITA.)

Dinner would be better, since my parents will both be off doing different things. We eat pretty much anything, and any suggestions you have would be lovely. Keep in mind that this will depend on whatever craziness is going on, and I might have to cancel on short notice.

I don't know if we'll have a car -- I might be able to drop my mother at her thing and pick her back up.

OK... we have a car and can pick you up if you like, or I can find something near the Canal Street streetcar.

Totally understand about the potential for having to cancel.

I'll ping your profile addy with additional thoughts. (today or tomorrow, probably)

I'd wear some of the spiky styles on the hair article, but I've been called "sir" wearing a pink blouse before.(Not by an attentive person, but I was really insecure then.)

Not to mention lots more face time with my dream(ish) boy.

Oh, god. So much to do. So much to figure out.

Nora, I'm at the gate waiting to board for another 45 min if you have a moment to call.

smonster, fingers and toes crossed for you, and thank you so much for the gift! It's hanging on the mirror in the hall. It fits in perfectly with the whole theme of my house, plus there a peacock feather! (Though that one may actually be a peahen because it's brown. Right? I don't know much about peafowl except they're loud, the boys are gaudy, and Hera and smonster like them.)

juliana, thanks! I never even thought of looking on YouTube.

Zen, I'm so glad you like it! I got it at this supercool reuse/upcycling boutique called Unique Products. It's an artist's co-op and they have so much cool shit. Like pendant lamps and chandeliers made from absinthe bottles, jellyfish lamps from Mardi Gras beads, etc. Very close to Nora's house.

Enjoy your time with the boy, smonster!

Got the first holiday order of my album. He wants to send an autographed copy to a friend so I'm off to the post office to check postage for sending this to the UK. Beautiful day in LA today so it should be a nice bike ride.
