blocks of time

My weekend seems to have flown by in several 12-hour chunks of time.

Friday into Saturday were two 12-hour chunks of migraine nastyness. Came home from work around noon-thirty and crawled into bed and didn't reappear (except for flying trips to the bathroom to be sick) until around 11 pm. Then back to bed until about 10:30 Saturday morning. Fortunately by then the migraine had retreated. (Although the pain left me with the fodder for an evil alien butterfly that I dreamt or hallucinated or something... I'll use it in a story yet :D)

Then 3 p.m. Saturaday to 4:30 a.m. Sunday I spent hanging out with mah pals watching about 9 hours of Firefly/Serenity. We hung out in our pjs and ate and talked and made "ice planets on a stick" [see the teaser to The Message for our inspiration].

Here's a picture of some of us curled up on the couch... me, my in-name-only wife, and her boyfriend [the vanilla bf gets a little nervous when I joke about the hospital billing error that sent her mail to her but with my first name and inital... leading us to conclude I was her wife ... or as we decided last night we were each other's wives. Anyway... it's great fun, although I think it does make the bf wonder about us/me. Really he shouldn't worry ... but it's kind of fun to tease him...]



Mah "wife" is holding the infrastructure for her "ice planet on a stick." I am holding my puffalump to protect me from the Reavers.

Hilarious that basically all of us were cosying up in our sleep pants and consuming large quantities of ice cream molded around string. And believe it or not there was no liquor or illicit substances involved. There was wine, we just never remembered to open it!

Ok, the ice planet thing is just too good not to imortalize for you... here they all are holding up the ice planet solar system. LOL.




So I'm working on about five hours sleep today... but totally worth it!!!

I know from time-to-time you post that you are lonely and wish for companionship, but damn woman, your friends look like alot of fun and you have six more real-life-right-there friends than I do. I think I am the one doing something wrong, not to have friends here I can do pj parties with, be myself with, be silly with. Sigh. This looks like lots of fun! Ice cream on a string, yo!

Eeks on that migraine, you poor poor thing. Wish you knew WHY, dammit! But I am sure you do too.

D'awww... I'd come hang out in my pjs with ya if I was anywhere close. *hugs*

Properly grateful for last night actually, as the stars aligned just right that all of us were free on the same night. this is so rare. which made it even more special. And it's a developing group of friends...so we're shepherding it along, and hopefully it will keep on keeping on.

OMG we had so much ice cream. and swapped clothes and books, and craft stuff... super fun. It's like 80% of the reason I do theater... to hang out w/ mah peeps.

this weekend was like the best and the worst.

here's to more pj parties for EVERYONE!!
