w00t. Tonight I went back to McFadden's -- greatest Happy Hour EVER - $10 all you can drink -- yes, it's limited to the cheap stuff but all I ever drink are screwdrivers anyway -- with my friend Kristin. Kristin and I were pen-pals first... a mutual friend wanted me to be her penpal so I could help "witness" to her because she was a democrat. She went through a fundie phase too -- although my fundie phase lasted about 18 years longer than hers - so we can both relate to that very weird phenomena. We only met each other maybe a dozen times IRL, but we've always been able to bond with each other. When we were both in college we drifted apart for a while... but now that we both live in the area - she goes to AU for at least the next year - we (hopefully) will hook up more often. I had a fantastic time tonight. She's really, REALLY cool.

*snicker* Why does Mr. Ngige... manager of the Union Bank of Nigeria... have an address from Yahoo! Canada? Do people really fall for this? It's ridiculous.
Hmmm. Next week is Baby Emma's first birthday party! SO exciting, especially considering she almost died in utero. She certainly shows no signs of that now. She's very... robust. Some old lady in DC pronounced "JUICY! So JUICY! Look at those JUICY LEGS!" once. :D
I am very sad that I know exactly how to count to 31 on one hand.
A Current Affair (hey! I'm drunk, I'm allowed to watch these things) is having a segment on people who are possessed by demons. Yeah, whatever. Just more evasion of personal responsibility. Oooh, satan made me do it.
