Lovely visit
Aleena and Caroline go away tomorrow. We had quite a good time, though! Friday night, Melissa came over, also. Lots and lots of pretty good wine that Caroline brought back from wine country in California. We played board games, Caroline and Aleena against Melissa and myself, and I have to say that with our blatant, rocking superiority over those two, we should have given them a handicap, so they wouldn't have felt so terrible about losing as much as they did.
Speaking of losing, that's what I did a whole lot today while playing pool. We played four games among the three of us, and I lost each time. I have never ever claimed to be good at pool (except when I'm in the heat of it all and I'm about to miss and I proclaim I AM AWESOME) for the world (or bar) to hear. For a really terrible pool player, I think my ego's actually quite healthy. Caroline gets the award for hitting the most balls in. She also gets the award for consistency, as roughly 90% of those balls she hit in were the white cue ball, over and over and over. You rock, Caroline. I salute you.
Tonight, Melissa came over again, and we four had another tension-filled board game night. It ended in an incredibly thought-provoking game of Taboo, the result of which was a satisfying, Everyone-In-This-Apartment-Is-Outstanding tie. We shall not speak of the game of Cranium which, it is rumored, a couple of us might have lost. I won't say who. The tale is too sad to be told.
When Melissa left, she kept the door open too long, and a moth flew in. I want you to know, Melissa, that we named the moth after you in honor of your letting it into the apartment. Melissa the Moth was rather irritating and stupid, but I let it live anyway. I tricked it into flying back out the open door, after many unsuccessful attempts otherwise, which involved much frustrated swearing on my part, and repeatedly blinking and gazing around my apartment, asking, "Where is it?" In the end, though, I remained the champion in the Human v. Moth standown (or run-around-or-fly-[depending-upon-whether-one-has-wings-]down).
I forced Aleena to join Seven Kingdoms. This was done at gunpoint. But Suzanne! you are thinking. I did not know you had a gun! In truth, I do not, and that only makes the feat all the more remarkable.
