Party last night, one of those goofy gongshows that started out slow - which is always really funny, because everyone seems shocked that we don't start off shockingly drunk and causing scenes. Rumours were dispelled, the gin was consumed, the hookah was a source of animated discussion (movies! books! fabulous lifestyles!). I have to say it was a great time and I'm glad everybody who came, did. It gave me a chance to hang out with people like Caroline and Gloriee in a more relaxed setting, and the party itself was halfway between an intimate get-together and a big-ass drunk house party. It was comfortable.

Presents! John & Christian got me a faux-Boarding school notebook. Gloriee brought a Superman notebook (I'll be using it for class) and a bottle of this Quail's Gate white wine. A Riesling, I'm keeping it for a special occasion. Samara brought me beautiful orchids. A lot of really cool cards showed up from Joy & Matt, Brendan & Paton, and John & Christian. And Michael? He got me the wicked-ass director's cut DVDs for Hellboy, which includes this silly booklet with Lemurian text and illustrations by Mignola. I'll veg out the first chance I get with it.

So thank you everybody who showed! It was a vastly good deal. And tomorrow's my actual birthday...
