had a super-fantastic weekend. fri was like '04 reunion nite. every one i was hanging out with at this time 2 yrs ago, right before i got preggers was back in town. it was awesome catching up w/everyone and dancing drunkenly to mj. it was not awesome puking in the sink and having a hangover until 1:00 the next day, but it was a small price to pay. sat, i had an overnite sitter and went to an absolutely horrible rock show w/my friend jenny. it was well worth it to be w/her, i see her far too little, but i have decided once and for all that i will never fit into that morose, slam dancing, cooler-than-thou indie "rock" scene. i'm happy and friendly, i have a real job and a fairly optimistic outlook on the future and i like music w/discernible melody. and i don't consider having a kid and being responsible to be selling out. ergot, i should stop trying to hang out w/jenny's other friends. i really feel the 3 yr age difference when i'm w/them. and not in an "oh, i miss my youth" sort of way, more like "oh, god, i'm so glad i've grown up a little". it was an interesting anthropological experience though. it's always interesting to watch drunk people when you're not. people will dance to anything apparently. and for the first time ever i had a not-weird conversation w/mary when she was driving me back to my car. she seems to have mellowed alot in the last yr. too bad that she's moving to new zealand now that she's nice. sun afternoon sera came over and she and kim and i drank mimosas and binged on belgian waffles and scrambled eggs and basically just sat around and talked. it was great. i don't see her enuf either. sun nite i went to liz's for xmas eve where isabelle was showered w/attention and gifts and got to pet kitties and a puppy. mon nite i went to my parents' for dinner and a movie and yesterday my fb came over before he went to chicago to help his sister move and i got to see jenny once more before she left the state. sigh. the thing that really stood out over this weekend is how awesome my friends are. none of them have kids and i kind of thought they'd all disappear after i had my daughter. but instead i've gotten closer to most of them and they love her as if she were their own. i'm really, really lucky. the only thing missing from this weekend was scrabble....
