100% anti-embarrassment. Mine or anyone else's. Can barely stand to watch it on television.

Oh, I"m very in the "watch from the hall" contingent.

So, it's Pride weekend! And I am slightly hungover. Ugh. Things that did not help: hella early sunrise, neighbor mowing (??) at 7AM. Hoping my advil will kick in soon. BUT, it was a very random and interesting evening: went to the trans march, but afterward it started pouring down rain. Luckily ran into a friend at that point and got some food for a while, until it wasn't so rainy. Then went home (yay living nearby) and grabbed a coat, and hit up my usual friday night dance. A friend said he'd meet me there, and we planned to hit the lesbian bar after that. But apparently either I got there just early enough, or the doorman knows me well enough that I got in free, but when my friend showed up he had to pay $10! So we chilled there, but then he didn't want to go pay for the other bar also. But I had bought a weekend pass, so I went there anyway, by myself. When I got there it was pretty darn empty. I saw one person I only vaguely know (we met many years ago, but mostly see occasional FB posts?). And then she got up and went away, but since I saw no one else I knew, I plopped down at the table she'd been at and introduced myself to her friend. Sat there chilling with them for a while, which was entertaining, and then some girl grabs my shoulders and is like "She's NOT ignoring you, she just has to use the bathroom, she'll be back!" and I"m all "Whaaaa??" Then the girl was like "OH! You are not Betsy" so we chat for a minute--the "not ignoring me" girl was Betsy's ex. And was super cute. Sadly seemed very uninterested. But I ended up hanging out with her friends for a bit, and they said they'd point out Betsy at some point. And a few minutes later, someone else wanders by and said "aren't you coming to the basketball thing?" (there was a hoop and some kind of challenge?) and I was like "...no? Also I don't know you?" and lo and behold...someone ELSE who had just met Betsy and then thought I was her! So now I had to go have her pointed out to me and introduce myself. We DO have very similar hair (curly/brown/chin length), but I didn't think our faces looked much alike? But now i want to meet her again when I'm sober?? Then there was some booty-shaking with the new friends, and eventually stumbling home...

Primed all the patches. Still haven't decided on paint.

Go with lavendar, sarameg! Even for a ceiling!

I like surprises!

Duly noted, lisah. When's your birthday again?

I'm making butterbeer cookies.

Hah, no.

Cut a bit of trim. Realized I need an adhesive and clamps. Later. Embracing couch and a cuddly cat.

I've only ever had one surprise birthday party, and I loved it. (Yet another reason why my birthday -- the day after Christmas -- is the worst birthday to have.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm making butterbeer cookies.

I don't know what butterbeer is or how it could become cookies, but I want some.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Me, too -- but I disagree on the day! I've always liked it.

Watching an old Celebrity Family Feud, and when the question was "Name a president who appears on money," the survey answer they didn't get was Benjamin Franklin. Presumably because THEY KNOW HE WASN'T PRESIDENT. (They did guess Hamilton, and he was up there, unlike Kennedy who is on that half-dollar, which is now making me second-guess if it was specific to presidents or not.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Just got back from a pizza party one of our friends arranged.(She does this from time to time so she can see friends she doesn't get to see often.) Ate too much pizza.

So, our gym bought another gym that has an outdoor pool which is the best! The only downside is rec swim is only for 1.5 hours a day 3 days of the week (and longer hours on the other four days). So pleasant.
