A brief update...

[valis2]

Home for one day (really). Will be staying at a hotel this weekend, so I won't be able to catch up much, unfortunately. Friends list is skip 750...I'm at 570 now...will try to finish before I go to bed.

Tiny update...the show was okay, not anything special. Did get to spend time with the ever awesome barda and met an interesting friend of hers, and ate at a wonderful tapas place (delish). Drank a big tumbler of sangria at the Mall of America and then drank about a third of a pitcher at the tapas place. It is now my new obsession.

So barda and I were sitting at the booth and a guy walks past us wearing a Slytherin backpack. Very surprising. Then it turns out it's his son's backpack. Father and son wander away. So barda and I start talking about what House we should be Sorted into, and then it somehow went into Mary Sue territory, and then I was babbling about Draco & Harry's twin sisters (Harriet & Dracona) when I noticed that father and son had somehow wandered to the other side of the room and were behind barda and the boy was staring at me with saucer eyes and open mouth as his father dragged him away.

I hope he doesn't really think that they have twin sisters. I've ruined a little child's canon world!

Even more amusing...I was unpacking all of the luggage from WI in the parking lot of my apartment complex a couple hours ago when I realized someone was shouting "Hey!" over and over again.

It turned out to be a three year old in an upper floor apartment window. I shouted "Hi!" and she said "Whatcha doin'?"

"Unpacking."

*unintelligible* "What you getting out?"

"Clothes."

"Do you have catsup?"

"Yes." (A complete lie. I hate catsup and have not a drop of it in the apartment. I'm going to hell now.)

*unintelligible* "...peanut butter."

"Oh, great. I like peanut butter too."

*unintelligible*

"Okay, bye!"

*unintelligible* "Bye bye!" (Also was waving at me, but I couldn't wave back, too much luggage.)

I've had an epiphany. I just don't shout "Do you have catsup?" at enough random strangers from my apartment window.

That was a fantastically presented bit - thank you so much for sharing it!

Well...glad to have you back, even if it is temporary!

Have fun this weekend!

Aren't 3 year olds fun! My 4 year old says bizarre things all the time. Makes you wonder on their thought process. :D

Welcome home, even if it is for one day... and yes, we all need to yell strange things from apartment windows. Just as I feel cheated that I am long past the age where I can walk around in public wearing a tu-tu or fairy costume.

Good luck getting through your f-list. If you'd like, I can try saving you some time by pointing you to those of my recent entries that might actually be interesting (they're usually the long ones, unfortunately!)

Sangria is a beautiful thing. Trying to make it at home is NOT. Even more suprising is the fact that Olive Garden has really good sangria. I hate myself for saying that, because the OG is neither spanish nor really italian. Just saying. I'm not interested in getting lynched by the ethnic libation/mastication front that prowls around here.

Aren't three year olds wonderful? When I had one she decided to tell the spotty-teenage-pitifully-shy-checkout boy this..

'My mummy has a hairy lily'

Yip.

Aren't they great.

LOL! I love you.

So, once again you come to WI and don't tell me that I can drive over and see you. :(

And what's with the twin sisters thing? Is that a fic? Can you link me to it?
