looong time, no recipe.
SO MUCH ALCOHOL and SOOOOO MUCH YUMMINESS at danielle's bbq a few days ago, i swear we still had half of what we prepared for breakfast the day after. it was... bodyshots, 50's-60's music, food chemistry experiments, domestic violence, ummmm among other things. A few of us got dressed up, but mostly people just came wearing whatever. Danni, carlos and i of course dressed up, as a hottie hippie, a greaser-boy and a mod chick respectively. But billie was the winner with the ass-kickingest accessories: hair extensions and a boy in the SHORTEST short shorts, joe. Pixies here! Cecile, chirpy, dre and mon came late, but with good vibes to share. Kian brought along a friend and his brother (TOTAL pimp in training, it's a scary-ya) I brought twister, but everyone else got drunk too quickly and it sat neglected by the piano. maria dropped by for maybe half an hour, and we had another non-talk. I actually enjoyed the party before it even happened. I guess i just got too worn out by all the running around all day, but i had a great time with danni just preparing everything.
so as not to be stuck with 7up and water all night, i made myself an entire pitcher of scrumptious sober sippin. But before i even fucking tasted it the guests had finished it all. yay. @_@ what i get for taking a year and a half to get ready, i guess. shitjesus, that twiggy makeup.

in other news, the mission's on its 13th day, holy carp. which reminds me, i met a man the other day named Mr. Miyagi. This was at a party of some of my dad's colleagues.
Of course it wasn't pat morita, he's DEAD. and i realize it's a fairly common name, but it disquieted me anyway. FURTHER EXPLAINED
