my moral standing is lying down

Yesterday was an awesome time with a bunch of people getting together for Will's birthday. We went to BBQs in the East Village. The large margarita went straight to my head since I hadn't eaten in 7 hours at the time. But luckily by the time we had to leave my legs weren't numb anymore, yay.

Raquel showed up to hang out with us, which was really nice since I haven't seen her in probably over a year. =D Later, we went to a bar called Cheapshots, which has (can you guess?) cheap shots. (Soco Lime is excellent, btw, but the Red-Headed Slut just tastes like sweet Robitussin.) But by that time my buzz had already gone away.

Angelica stole my scarf. Which she needs to give back right away 'cause it's the one that Maryann's mom made for me. <3

Went home with Maryann, so it was nice not having to navigate the screwed-up weekend-schedule of the trains by myself.

Tonight was also lots of fun, met up with Chris and Carrie and people. I was reading an interesting hard-cover comic in the pr0n section of Jim Hanley's -- printed by the company who publishes Heavy Metal; something about a corrupt Pope/Church? I don't remember what it was called, but I really want to go back to read more of it.

Also, I stretched my left lobe to 3.5mm with glass talons I bought recently. The right one, though, wouldn't go in all the way. I got it in far enough so that it won't fall out, but it's kind of freaking me out a little that I couldn't get it in farther. Since I don't have any lube or bacitracin in the house right now, I was only using a warm/hot compress to encourage the skin to loosen/expand. I guess I'll have to try again tomorrow in the shower. I like the 8g bone talons I had in for the past couple of weeks, but I'm getting kind of impatient to stretch. The unfortunate part about stretching is that you can't wear your old jewelry anymore. =(
