absinthe

The other night I went with Scylla to sushi and drinks, yum! And then to a sort of "tupperware" party . I met a bunch of girls I'd never met before, Violet, Cailin, Serendipity and even some cute babes from limbo. And I got to see Riot too J Catching up with Venice and Scylla is always nice - the three of us went to Spartacus after which always brings out the hedonist in me, and late Scylla took me to Pix for glitter chocolatey gold leafed desserts and wine. It was really nice to see her and meeting so many cute cool girls reaffirmed my SG morale. I tend to forget sometimes that there's more to SG than just the internet.

Yesterday my housemates and I played Martha Stewart and made dinner for the subletters. We made pizza and salad and crepes, and I attempted to steam some artichokes. Lots of red wine all around. It made me feel like we were being grownups, sitting around on the deck just talking the way the grownups do when you're little. But I'm sure that if there'd been fireflies we would have run around trying to catch them. After dinner my housemate and I drank red wine and ate the rest of this chocolate cake that I got when my friend ran up to me on campus and whisked me away to his friends house to sit in the hammock and eat this cake she made. It's nice to be sought out.
"so what were you doing over at College anyway?"
"looking for you."

I've been in touch with some of the characters in my past and it's nice to catch up. A friend of mine from last summer may be coming through tomorrow and I'm filled with nostalgia at the thought of seeing them again. I've also been getting lovely emails from College friends I wrote to, and really great ones from my dear lessthanthree. Today I got a super cute and campy letter from the (now gray but still fabulous) Alohra. It's really good to hear from them and remember that I'm not alone feeling confused about my summer work.life and that I'm not alone going through the early stages of single life.
