I'm about to sleep
Aug. 21st, 2005 01:23but I thought I should post first.
The party was lovely. Really good. I rarely stopped moving, but it was a happy sort of motion, and mostly due to the fact that I don't throw these often enough to just trust that things will go smoothly. They did, though.
We didn't watch any movies other than Kung Fu Hustle, which most of us came in on the middle of because
silverkun and the Weasel were watching it while the rest were in the hot tub just outside. I prefer what we did instead of watching movies: snack and talk.
The sacrificial fire went well, even when we had to add more coals to keep it going. Meat, and asparagus, and corn, and finally marshmallows. Then hot tubbing, then root beer floats and lemon cake with some of the lightest buttercream frosting ever. And more talk. Then the clock struck midnight and people started to turn into pumpkins, though I didn't guide
kuritzky out of the driveway until nearly 1. And now it's just me, the Weasel, and
foogod.
I was handed a few items (thanks, guys!), but for the most part I enjoyed the company. The trouble with inviting people whom you all like and want to spend time with is that you never know quite where to focus... I think I got a little time with everyone, though, and I hope no one felt left out. I certainly felt lucky to see all the people, and in some cases, just the fact that they showed up was a gift.
kuritzky,
eyeofcanaan,
emmett_the_sane with
caesia, and most especially a brief visit from the elusive Wayne... That added to the fun of being around people I see more frequently (or whom I can at least get a hold of more readily). Wayne in particular was one I had not expected, to the point of not inviting him until late because I was sure he wouldn't be able to come. And yet he said he could, and he actually did.
I missed those who couldn't come.
firestrike, you in particular have to make it up to me later. ;)
So... If I'm to make it out to Geyserville by 2 tomorrow I should go to bed. Thanks for the excellent birthday party.
