Happy birthday to me =)

[melaniesuzanne]

It is a dark and stormy day, just like most of my birthdays from my youth. What else could someone named "dark" expect?

So. The weekend: Successful newcomers' meeting on Friday with lots of members and two newcomers in attendance. James joked that the 'fink and I should host all the meetings because they get a good turn-out. Flattering, but no. :)

I caught up on monster movies Saturday with viewings of both "Cloverfield" (the first 20 minutes or so are dreadful, but once the monster shows up the movie turns awesome) and "The Host" (I wasn't interested in the comedy bits, but the scary parts were nicely scary). I also caught a modern adaptation of Henry James' The Turn of the Screw called "In a Dark Place". Someone please tells Leelee Sobieski to get out of the acting biz. Please.

On Sunday I recolored my brassy blonde hair to a much more flattering light brown. Must be a slimming color because lots of folks are asking if I've lost weight. ;) Afterwards, I spent a couple of hours up to my elbows in stringy pumpkin guts. I now have two jack-o-lanterns (one scary and one happy, but cautiously eye-balling the scary guy) on my front steps. I was so happy to see them lit up when I got home from the baronial business meeting last night. Yay spookiness!

Why didn't you ever tell me that you were familiar with darkness? Are you also familiar with ADVANCED darkness?

SB: This is not your average, everyday darkness. This is... ADVANCED darkness. Hey, if I close my eyes it doesn't seem so dark.

Thank you! :)

You expect a Scorpio to share all of her secrets? Silly mortal. ;)

Sorry I didn't get the chance to wish you birthday greetings in person on Sunday. Our (mostly) benevolent dictator decided that the meeting had run long enough and that we had to leave for home NOW!!!!!!

[melaniesuzanne.livejournal.com]

As warm as the room was last night, I'm surprised she lasted as long as she did!

[greta-k.livejournal.com]

She was sick last week and part of the weekend, so she wasn't her usual bubbly self. We've learned to pack quick and travel (semi) light for quick get-aways!

Hey, I meant to drop off something for the mini dictator but forgot to bring it to the Baronial meeting.

I need to go to an appointment in Fairfax at 7:30 and will be driving by your way. Do you mind if I stop and drop it off?

[greta-k.livejournal.com]

If it's not after @9pm, sure. I feed teh bambina at 9pm, and the Navigator usually is in bed right about that time or shortly thereafter (due to a 1:30am "restaurant call").

[pirategirleee.livejournal.com]

Oh..I was planning on stopping by before 7:30 since I was going to be on my way to my appointment...but if you prefer after 9pm.....sure I can do that!


:P













just kidding.

You're an evil, evil person. I think that's why we get along so well.

Oh, hey. Were you still interested in the Alexandria Halloween Ghost Tour on Saturday? I've reserved my spot on the 7:15p tour. Give 'em a holler if you want to join in.

[sskipstress.livejournal.com]

Definitely still interested, but have to see if the new boy is also interested because Saturday is the only day I'll get to see him for the next two to three weeks.

[sskipstress.livejournal.com]

I just called and got myself added to your reservation for the 7:15pm tour. It'll be just me as the boy is playing a concert in Rockville that night.

[melaniesuzanne.livejournal.com]

Sweet! Sorry we'll miss getting to meet the boy, but I'm glad you'll be joining in the fun.
