ummm i commented in your jounral already .. but i'll let the masses know. i'll be there cause it's basically my birthday, almost....

next mission, get penny to make a fucking appearance so she can play with my nipples all night.

Oh man, how i disliked this film, lol. *ducks and covers* If only more of us looked like Jonathan Rhys Myers, hahah...

OK I'm in anyway. That's how much i love Minimalism and Freyja! All said i think it will make a better party than it did a film.

Now, to shopping...

Penny we miss you.

Phooey, I'll be on my Hawaiian honeymoon when this party is in full swing...and in my old neighborhood, too -
I used to live on First Ave and 12th!! AAA!! Hopefully there will be more NYC events this summer that I can actually attend. Have a good time there for me gang, I'll raise a pina colada in your honor...

penny says she doesn't have enough money to come to the party. i think we can pull together 75 dollars to get this girl here. i will contribute 25 dollars.

EGADS...

(like, when did I become a valley girl...)
Damn I wish I was in NY.

The ever elsusive Goat and myself planned his trip to come see my with this event in mind. We will be there and will look so hot that you will all need a drool cup. We are ready....are you?

You should hook up with Penny and carpool to out to us, and while you're at it bring Hel.

Nicole, I'm trying.

We can always talk about meeting up for dinner after the party though.

I can offer door to door service and the attention you deserve.

Yeah, if people only knew how ironic that staement really was coming from you.

I honestly wish you would just stop saying that kind of shit already.
