Hello Hello!

[stoney321]

First happy birthday to my fellow Ewan lover, lennongirl! Glücklicher Geburtstag, Schatz! I had a FABULOUS weekend, one filled with food, drink, whores, and fandom. All of which translates into AWESOME.


I flew out Thursday afternoon to Alabama to spend the weekend with southernbangel and marenfic, except Maren was a 'ho and "hurt herself," so I didn't get to see her until Friday night. SURE. That limp? SO FAKE. I didn't buy it for a minute. (Except she had obviously hurt herself, and I was so glad that I DID get to meet her!)

Lee and I ate, talked, drank, ate, loved, ate some more, laughed, shopped, ate, drank, and... did we do anything else? :D Fabulous foods from BBQ to elegant brunches to a grilled feta, basil and tomato sandwich that made my mouth SPARKLE with the good. Lee's hometown is UTTERLY CHARMING. That was a word I abused, but I couldn't help it! Rolling hills, beautiful landscape, trees trees trees... I loved her town. Her home was so happy and lovely! Lee has this MASSIVE porch (for an apartment? I was SHOCKED at the size and awesomeness) where we spent most of our time when not shopping, eating, and drinking. :D What a way to start your day: shaded porch with a breeze, linen curtains blowing in the breeze, and an iced coffee. I want to start EVERY DAY like that.

We met up with Maren and Mr. Maren (okay, Lee. I get it. He's adorable and you clearly want to steal EVERY HUSBAND EVER. At least you're picking the good ones!) for some Dreamland BBQ. All conversation screeched to a halt when the food came. Because it's that good. I think I heard Lee growl at me when I reached for a piece of meat she'd claimed... Afterward, we hit a local bar and hung out swapping sex stories. How you can tell that someone is awesome: if within 10 minutes you've dropped F and C bombs, everyone's laughing, and there's "my worst sexual experience" stories being traded, you've met people you can love. If I could pack up Maren and Lee and move them here (I'm Texan, after all) I would do so in a heartbeat.

Saturday we girls went to lunch and to see "Knocked Up" which I will be seeing again. I laughed my ass off. Oh, note to you all: when I laugh, I freaking laugh. I... may be obnoxious to see movies with. They didn't hit me (they did designate me as the Popcorn Holder... FOOLS.) so I don't think I donkey brayed. But I was slapping my thigh. It's a veritable "who's who" of funny, first of all, and it's REALLY REALLY GOOD. Hilarious, obviously, but very sweet and lovely, too. I didn't think it was possible to love Paul Rudd more, but I came away even MORE convinced that he should be in my Sacha/Will OTP and make it an OT3. Later, we hustled back to Maren's place (I WANT TO MOVE IN, omg - the cutest house ever) where Mr. Maren grilled and Mrs. Maren made a delish pasta salad. We laughed and talked (and watched Buffy) until midnight. There's nothing like watching shows you love with friends, especially when they're FUNNY friends. <3

Lee totally indulged me and took me to the Botanical Gardens before I had to fly out, and it was SO LOVELY. The gardens were so well maintained, filled with fantastic plants, and there were swings! Like, every few feet there was a swing. !! I want a swing on my porch, now. And their botanical gardens were free, which blew my little mind. How cool!! Lee is completely gracious, she stocked her house to meet any need I may have (I noticed you didn't have a portable defibrulator, what's that all about? GOD. My heart doesn't matter to you??) and was just (as always) wonderful to spend time with. Maren is absolutely fabulous, and I was SO HAPPY to get to finally meet her, too.

YAY TRIPS!!

Today is the first day for 2 of my 3's summer camps, and I'm off to pick them up in a minute and hear all about art camp. \o/ I'm also dog sitting my folks rascally border collie, and I WORE HER OUT on a long walk this morning with my Sally Derg. Um... CLEARLY my folks aren't exercising their pup, because she is WORN OUT. Who noticed that she's a border collie? And that she's worn out from a 3 mile walk? o_0 Yeah. She's so spoiled. (But she has the sweetest, furriest face, and she's so cute and her ears are so perky, and she'll figure it out. <3) My garden is getting out of control and it's so hot today, I can't bear the thought of getting out there and doing anything. I'm going to have many peach sodas and read HP all over again, I think. I'll garden after sunset. :D

How is everyone? (I know I missed the "responsibility" kerfuffle, but I've caught up through the kindness of emails, heh.) savoytruffle is writing me a NANNY STORY, WHAT? And it's right here (I'm waiting for it to be finished before I comment, because I have issues about messing up the comment trees. I'm a dork, I know.) HEEEEEE!!! What else is going on? HEART HEART HEART!!!!

HI BETH HI! I'm sorry I didn't reply last night - family a'callin. And evidently, by that statement, you are no longer family. Man, I loved that movie. SO FUNNY.

Dad and Kate and Zack are in DC on a vacation while Annajoy is at camp. They've left me Lucky, and I'm training her (I'm Cesar Milaning her) and they will obey the rules when I explain how Lucky NEEDS TO BE WALKED EVERY DAY, OMG.

Ooooh, I hadn't thought of a Father's Day party! That's a great idea, though: BBQ, grillin', deserting... CHERRY PIE, because that's my man and our dad's fave. MMMMMMM. Let me figure things out and get back with you!

[lynnenne]

HELLO HELLO HELLO! I am so happy you had a good time. I am very jealous, reading about all the people who get to go visiting with other people. I can't wait until I can come and see you!

Kita and I wrote Spike/Angel RPG fic, over here. If you're still into them. I know your fannish interests have diverged lately. I'm sorry I don't have any Will/Sasha to offer you. *g*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

YAY FOR FIC!! Oh, I'm still into A/S, I just need it written by people I trust/love. Hence the \o/ at your having written some! WHOO.

I can't wait until you can come see me, too!!!!! *blocks everything on the calendar for months so I'm free for you*

[marenfic.livejournal.com]

Guess whose back is perfectly fine now that you're gone? Suckas! Seriously, next time I promise to be more fun and less distracted by SEARING PAIN OMG.

I bet Sally was happy to see you-- did she do the full on butt wiggle? How about Mr. Stoney- did he do the full on butt wiggle too? Strap it on, Stoney, strap it on.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Dude, if that was you on low, then I can't imagine how awesome you must be on high. And by "high" I mean crack. I had a PERFECT time with you, so shut yo mouf, foo. My husband salivated when I described your house/trees/amount of land. We might move in next door, mm'kay?

Sally TEWTALLY did the full on butt wiggle and whine and follow for HOURS until she was assured I wasn't leaving again. Mr. Stoney wiggled his front butt. YES I WENT THERE. *molests you until you come from it*

[marenfic.livejournal.com]

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WENT THERE. What makes you think I would fine that insinuation anything but crass and TMI? I am a delicate flower.

*taps that ass*

Oh, by the way, Mr. Maren told me you suggested a koi pond for our sand pit and got a panicked look on his face when I told him that would be pretty. He is so cute all panicky.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHA. Not only did I mention a koi pond, but I also thought a fire pit, patio, and waterfall (cascading on the side where the rose/arbor are) would be excellent additions, and imagined several succulents planted in the cracks of your retaining wall.

Um... I may or may not be drawing up garden plans for you... (All native, all low maintenance. Ahem.)

[marenfic.livejournal.com]

Seriously? I may love you even more-- maybe even enough not to pretend to be hurt the next time you visit. . .

HEE! I am nothing if not completely selfish and mercenary.

Really though, I love the idea of a patio with fire pit very much. The only thing I worry about is that it's such a high point in the yard-- what about high winds? We have a pretty extended tornado season here.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Aha, but see, that's why you put the firepit in the ground. Also, I have a list of trees/shrubs to put in against the far fence, which will also act as a windbreak and lower the amount of direct sun hitting your house, which lowers your electricity bill. \o/

(We have a crazy tornado season here, too. Girlfriend, I gotchu.)

I'm bringing a billy club on my next visit, so even if you're just starting out with faking a back injury? It won't end that way.

[southernbangel.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD THE ENTIRE VISIT TO BOTANICAL GARDENS WAS MERELY TO GET IDEAS FOR YOUR HOUSE. STONEY USED ME.

WHY does the world revolve around you?!?! WHY GOD WHY?!?

[marenfic.livejournal.com]

Because I am awesome.

shickashickasims

[southernbangel.livejournal.com]

My excuse for bitchiness is the fact that I'm bleeding from the cunt. What's yours?

Ahahahaha, ILU. But only a wee tiny bit.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I HATE THAT YOU SAID THAT. Now I'm going to start my period two weeks early, because my birth-box is totally wimpy and is bossed by every hormone within sniffing distance.

>:(

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHA. Inside jokes are the BEST.

[southernbangel.livejournal.com]

WHY DID YOU NOT MENTION HOW PRETTY I AM?!?

I miss you already! My bed is a cold, lonely place without your big gaping vagina to cuddle me during the night. *emo tear*

Did you see that Maren's "back" is all better now? WHORE. And LIAR. She's a whorey liar. I need to move to Dallas to move away from her. Totes.

*fingers you to orgasm*

(I HAVE NOW FINGERED YOU BOTH. \O/)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

*offers my vagina to cloak the WORLD*

I didn't mention how pretty you are because then EVERYONE would try and see you and then you won't be my bitch no more. I mean, you're clearly Maren's bitch, but I was offered a toenail, and I JUMPED ON IT.

Do you need me to mention how your natural chestnut highlights made me so jellis? That you have porcelain skin? and a gentle touch? I HATE HOW MAREN'S A FILTHY PIRATE HOOKER AND LIAR.

[southernbangel.livejournal.com]

Oh, Stoney, we'll always have Birmingham. To paraphrase the highly drugged Paula Abdul, I'm forever your bitch. *draws hearts around you*

TELL ME WHAT ELSE MADE YOU JEALOUS. DANCE, PUPPET, DANCE. I don't know, I'm high?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

*tap-dances with a cat, and by cat I mean a euphemism for your vagina*

I am jealous of your PORCH. And freedom. And Office S1 CDS. Is that enough for you? YOU ARE SO NEEDY. (And i gained loads of weight there, so now I hate you.)

[southernbangel.livejournal.com]

I LOVE BEING NEEDY.

Ugh, I don't even want to look at a scale to see how much I gained. *hand waves*

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

I am so jealous that I am weeping over here all by my lonely lonesone.

I feel so unloved. (The fact that I see [Unknown site tag] on Wednesday is immaterial)

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

that was supposed to say tkp. Clearly I am to bereft to type straight.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

...would it help to know that you were name dropped when we went through our litany of "you know who's awesome? ___ is awesome!"

In fact, I believe we may have STARTED with you. (We also said over and over how we want another WriterCon like, NOW.)

<3

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

I know your type. You'll just said that to get into my pants.

And it worked because I'm a ho.

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

that should have said y'all. My typing is still a thing of wonder.

[marenfic.livejournal.com]

You were gossiped about in a highly positive way.

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

see above.

I know you're just trying to sex me up.

[southernbangel.livejournal.com]

Hahahah, don't listen to them, they're lying. And by "lying" I mean "speaking the truth."

Yes, I've had possibly too much sugar today already, what?

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

no sex for you, meanie!

and sugar in what form? (I've trying to diet, so I have to eat vicariously)

[thepiratequeen.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a really nice trip. Knocked Up inspired a very similar reaction in me. And I may secretly ship Seth Rogan/Paul Rudd.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

It was a GREAT trip! And man, I may need to go see Knocked Up again this weekend, SO. FUNNY.

I may ship Paul Rudd/Anyone at this point. LOVE HIM.

[thepiratequeen.livejournal.com]

Hee! I hear ya. I've been shipping Paul Rudd/me since his Clueless days but I have no problem sharing him. I won't even try to figure out how he manages to make cocky jerk always look sexy.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

(And how great was it that Seth Rogan had the shirt your icon was made from?!)

I was telling Lee after the movie was over that I wanted Claire Danes to go for Paul Rudd, not Leo DiCaprio in Romeo+Juliet. :D

[thepiratequeen.livejournal.com]

(I did a happy dance in my seat when I saw him wearing that shirt.)

Me too! Shakespeare be damned, who'd want Leo when you can have Paul?

[anelith.livejournal.com]

What a great visit you had! You three are so fun to watch on LJ, I can't even imagine how great it would be to see you together in RL. I bet the wait staff were entertained at the restaurants...

Art camp today? My kids are so very eager to get out of school. 5 days left in the countdown. And I'll be glad to see it end too, I'm exhausted from all the end-of-school whirligig. Stop the school, I wanna get off!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

It was a fantastic visit. And I'm pretty sure that by the time we had devolved into gay sex/vampires/horribly politically incorrect laugh-fests over drinks that they were happy to see the backside of us. Hahaha!

The girls had a BALL at art camp - The Boy starts basketball camp next week. Man, we were ALL getting punchy that last week or two of school. All the rush rush, organization, need to stick to timetables? Gah. Summertime laziness has commenced! Ahhhhhhh. 5 more school days? It's all downhill!
