ok... a bit cheerier
thanx to seth, a high school buddy of mine, i am in a bit better mood. i was gonna go all hermetic and he insisted i go get the router for the DSL and that turned into getting the T.V. out of storage (since i cannot lift it) for my recovery room and then he ignored my comments about not accepting charity anymore and bought me lunch at a great mexican place and so i am feeling calm again.
eain, james_madison, giancarlo, nomilomi, goaskalice71, yessikaspaz showed in force with non-lj users: Seth, Kristy, Sandy, Barney(Mike), Dianna, Blue(Shannon), Janette, Ryan C., Ryan H., Dave(not minsky, that putz never showed), Charles, Sally, Trey, and Scooter, (and i think i might be missing two ppl).we gathered at the Islands Restaurant in Glendale and took over.
first off i had to take away the sugar caddies and give them to melissa (our waitress) to hide somewhere. not that ppl still didn't manage to accumulate their own sugar packet arsenals.
during the course of the evening i received calls from swingangel, George the Giant, Big Mike McKenna, and Cosmo(mike) all wishing me the best. all of this helped keep my spirits up even when a shorter than it had to be call came from someone who i care about who is mad at me cuz that person thinks i do not care at all (but that is other drama and i said no drama for the evening). George even told me that the legacy of "boo" (a character schtick i did at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights I) will live on through him. See, they made me a dead hippie. it is not easy to be scary as a dead hippie. so i decided to scare with a bit of humour and borrowed a lil rubber finger puppet of a bat and i would walk up to ppl through the crowd and before they would even notice that i wasn't a regular person in the crowd, i would stick my finger an inch from their face such that the bat was staring at them and say a very stoned "boo!" not loud, but abrupt. some would just laugh but some ppl actually got scared of this. as much as george doesn't remember ppls names, he said he will always remember "boo" (which is what he calls me since he cannot remember my name) cuz it entertained him so much to watch me do this lil schtick. and so whenever i see him he walks right up (all 7'4" of him) and sticks his finger in my face and sez "boo!" this can be intimidating if you do not know him or that he is coming. he told me if he ever gets a tatoo it will be of a bat with "boo!" written underneath it
Big Mike said he was too tired to come out and i understood since he was coming from an event and had a long way home. i was honoured that he tried.
so then Dianna comes back from the bathroom to tell us all that Mayim Bialik (tv's Blossom) is sitting at a nearby table. they then go over and tell her that i am going into surgery and have always wanted to meet her. now i do admit to a teenage crush on the girl but i had a bigger crush on the character Six (Jenna von Oy) anyways before they did this, goaskalice71 mentions that she use to go to Temple with Mayim. Mayim did not apparently seem too thrilled to hear about temple when Dianna mentioned it. and also said she didn't want to just come over.
next thing i know, they are dragging me over to her table to take my picture with her (ok, taking the camera was my idea, but it was to have something to say, i am shy around new ppl) i apologized to her for my friends as she took a pic with me and wished me luck on what i am sure she thought was life or death surgery (not that things COULDN'T go horribly awry, i am just confidant that they won't. i know he is messing with my spinal cord which is never great news)
so then i walk away to talk to *ifergetwho insertnamehere* and as i walk away from the tables (we had three) i pass the waitress heading back to my area with a cake and candle. i turn and look, figuring out what is going on and Barney caught my eyes (since he was looking for me) then i ducked down and started maneuvering through the restaurant. i felt barney grab my shoulders from behind and drag me to the table. as we passed Mayim's table i think i heard her giggle as she heard me saying "please tell me they are not gonna sing me "Happy Surgery" or something like that."
sure enough upon approaching the table, a chorus of Happy Surgery started by someone and joined in by everyone hit my ears. as much as i protested and looked embarressed, i would be hard pressed to find a moment in my life when i felt more loved.
see ya gotta understand. when i moved up north i gave ppl i knew a weeks notice to join me for one last dinner before i moved to be with my fiancee. the party consisted of me, Barney, Seth, and Kristy. Kristy came cuz she was seth's wife (she hardly knew me at that point) and seth was trying to rekindle our friendship that died a horrible death in college. barney has always been my constant friend, my bro.
but this time... with some ppl getting an hours notice... some ppl having to get released early from work... ppl came
and others that couldn't, wanted to.
i love you all for that and my biggest blessing in this life is my friends.
so then we pay up and because all the lights came on (hint from the restaurant) we headed to dave's house, those of us not yet done with the evening. the time their included a moment of scare for dave as james_madison and giancarlo discuss turning dave's basement into a real dungeon with sex toys and apparati, Dianna asking where Dave kept his porn after she got all hot and bothered looking at Beyonce Knowles in a recent Maxim, Barney being afraid to ever touch Blue again since she threatened if he tickled her again she would kick him in the testes, and all around fun. i left there around 2:30 and said goodnight to goaskalice71 and yessikaspaz as i got in my car, beaming about this night i will remember for a long time and i am ready for surgery now.
bring on the knife
quick, while i still have the gumption
Thank you all again.
