oiranI had the pleasure of the company of both ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rhiannonhero and gothphyle this weekend. The ever-accommodating misterglove made (South-Beach-approved) food for all of us, and we got a little bit drunk and laughed so hard that at least one of us almost died. If the troubadour job was still a viable one, I would elect Alee as the multifandom storyteller. Never before has fic of dubious quality been so delightfully recounted...
The three of us (minus the Mr.) had lunch at a nice outdoor cafe and inadvertently became the entertainment for a large portion of the other patio people, what with our discussion of real people with fake names, fake people, specifc portions of male anatomy and their forceful conjunction, and the punctuation of my embarrassingly loud and frequent braying laughter. There were actually two tables who seemingly stayed to simply watch us. One of the guys at those tables was really cute, fwiw...
Last night, Mr. G and I made Alee watch Olympics with us before allowing her to return to her hotel. For which, apparently, I now owe her that Harvey Keitel/Quentin Tarantino RPS that I threatened many, many months ago.
Apparently, people who know Alee in RL think she is a nice, homey, traditional sort of girl. Ha!
I love having people I love visit me.

After putting it off for nearly a month, I have just realized that I have to write a story in the next five days or risk being a fandom outcast. And it had better be a good one, too.

Working on a logo project for a friend's business. She does my hair; the work I do for her is in trade. While this will be good portfolio fodder (a nice, big, professionally-painted sign, as well as business cards and whatever else) there's only so much hair work I can get done. I need to find clients who pay in money.

I want to take a trip out west so, so badly. I miss the ocean. I miss pointy trees. I miss seagulls. I know there are fen in Seattle and Portland both, and I bet some of them would even want to see me...
