Sometimes I just love my life.
I had such a fabulous evening. I met up with Connie (lj: connikins still? Maybe?), and got the BPAL from her I requested months ago, and we briefly geeked out about clothing.
Then I went to swing for the first time in months, and we worked on 40s charleston (YAY).
Afterwards Jus and I walked to Elizabeth St (I love walking and talking with people, it's one of my favourite things). I told him about the fact that I'm changing an important detail in my novel which will require rewriting the whole thing, but that I was resistant to it, and why. Then I went to sit in Hungry Jack's (I was early for drinkies) and begin the rewrite...on my phone, which was the only writing equipment I had. I started to get a ways in, and I feel like I finally KNOW Rhiannon (a character who had previously been a bit of an enigma) and like her (another first).
I tore myself away from writing (because I knew I'd be there all night otherwise) and went to meet Chris at 1806 (one of my favourite bars) for his farewell drinks, as he's moving to Canberra. In attendance was Mme Omega, who is always fantastic to talk to, and we geeked about clothing and steampunk and geekery in general. Another of Chris's friends appears to know many amazing bars that I have never visited, and I now have a few more to make pilgrimages to. I had a Twentieth Century cocktail and it was marvellous and almost perfect for what I wanted.
And now I am home, and have made Drunk Food (although I was only really tipsy). Since I just bought cheezly it is fantastic junk food: little tubes of white pasta (it's not macaroni) with garlic, dill and chive pesto, spinach and cheezly. And a little bit of Massel's "chicken" stock for salt.
NOM NOM NOM.
And now, to bed, to virtuously get up far too early for work tomorrow. But at least it will be Friday! So yay!
In conclusion: So much awesome for just one night. Especially when I was home by 11.
