I've been on Facebook and added more friends than in the past several years cumulative and here's what I've realized, I need to mute people that I know from places like ... not here. Sure, I went to school with them but they are the weird strangers on the internet. We're friends.
You gave me strength to move to the PNW. You gave me more strength to leave and be with my Dad as we were losing him. And I don't doubt you be on the next step as well. Whatever and whenever it is.
Aillean, I am so sorry for your loss.
There may have been some drinkin', is what I'm sayin'.
Pfft. The cocktail you were warning me would kick my ass wasn't even 80 proof.
But if you have 9 of them, that's like...720 proof.
Which is more than enough proof to prove that I don't understand proof.
Only 9?
I'm trying to remember if we went to Pat O'Brians for hurricanes. Things are fuzzy.
Also, weren't there, like, people having sex on the balcony across from our hotel?
Oh God, the people having sex across the street! I'd forgotten about that.
Good times.
I missed that, but I think Trudy held a watch-and-post party in her room.
Aillean, it's too young, and too tragic, and I'm so sorry, for you and for her husband and sons.
I have spent more time on FB in the last two days than I have in the last four *years*. I will probably check in more there, but it is not a comfy place for me, nor will I be greatly expanding my friends there. I'm happy here. Here is good. But the pictures are there, so.

With all the talk of drinks and proof, it took me a moment to parse out that you were talking about *actual* sex, and not some NOLA drink special.
Still kills me that I missed that F2F. I love that city so dearly, and I wanted so badly to be in it with Buffistas (to be fair, I honeymooned there with a Buffista AIWFG, but I am greedy and want more).
Oh, I was upset about missing New Orleans too, and then doubly so when Katrina hit just a few months later.

Same. The only two F2Fs I made were DC and SF. I wish I had attended more.
I also wish I had had the chance to meet ita in person.
