Three Skunk Night! (Well, three skunk & one bear weekend, actually)
The more time I spend in the world the more I value being able to spend some of it with my friends. Especially the ones I haven't seen in awhile. There's no quality time like catching up with pals that have been distant for years and really getting to talk to them. I know, you can keep in touch all kinds of ways nowadays, but nothing beats hanging out together iRL. :) Two of them are back in the Bay Area, so hopefully I'll get to see them more often... the big huggy Fuzzybear and the almost-as-huggy Dingus let me buy them lunch on Saturday and I got to catch up on all the stuff that's been going on with them since they went up north. I've been able to see them (briefly) at FC the last few years, but finally I really got to talk to them. Ah, for the days when these two and Kev and Rain were all local and we could strike fear into the hearts of... well, when we could hang out and have fun, really. But the big bear and the sly skunk are back, and this is a Good Thing. Then this morning (Sunday) I got a surprise visit from my longtime pal Burlington and his fiance Moonlight! I haven't seen Burlie iRL in years and only met Moonlight for a matter of minutes at an Anthrocon so far back it was still Albany Anthrocon then. So we had a HUGE bunch of things to catch up on. My two mephit 'migos were out here on the West Coast to deal with some family legal stuff and had to head off to LA in the late afternoon. But it was soooo nice to really get to see them again. Some people can make you happy just by the positive energy they give off. (Moonlight credits me with helping her and Burlie stay together back when her folks disapproved. I don't really take credit for it but they make it kind of hard to argue with them. ^__^)
Now I've been through LJ and I see that the mighty Mako has secured a solid new IT position! After an undeserved and undue stint in the unenjoyment line that's the best news I could hope to hear. So.. a vastly-better-than-average weekend? I'd say so, yup. :)
