life in general
Hey I forgot to mention the last time I was here I had back surgery (again) that sucked, but the upside my therapist is really cute and funny. I really enjoy going there.
Okay so the parties!
Okay so I go to the airport and get on the plain after begging a kiss from my daughter who was snubbing me for leaving. So, I get to sit by this little girl who's name was Magan. she told me all about her family and her naborhood and her dog and how old everyone was and what they all wanted to be when they grew up and, and, and.....
WHEW!
so we make it to Memphis. I am DYING for a stogie by this time. so I go find my gate and get a bite to eat and then I REALLY needed a cig. so I found the only place to have one. Whew, Then I figured I best waddle back to my gate since my foot isnt cooperating with the rest of me. so I grab my crap (note to self dont take alot of crap on a trip) Okay, so they finally call for us to get on the big plane I waddle my way to my seat. and I feel like I am on Air China! no shit! all these oriental students and none of them spoke a lick of english.
Anyway,, I thought I was going to get freaky about the flight, but no, I actually fell asleep. at the end of the flight this Japanese lady turns to me and says " you have a nice nap? I wish I could sleep on a plane."
I smiled to her and told her that it was my first time in a big plane like that so I was surprised that I could sleep. SOOO wel all make our way off the plane and I finally get my bags and waddle outside. I wait for the SUPER SHUTTLE> which finally stops to tell me they pick up a block up and then he makes me walk up there.. and I finally get there and tell him I have just had back surgery and could he please put my bags in the car for me since he made me run a block with 75 pounds of luggage.
*sigh* SO I get to the Westin Bonaventure (note to self cheep hotels have tons more room in the room) and I am in pain at this time with my bags and the bell hop comes to rescue me and I thank him graciously. and I hobble over to the desk to check in. The hop takes me to my room and I get ready for the party and call home to let them know I am there and okay. but then I cant remember the addy of the party and the armenian cabbie finally gets me there. I go into the party all shy and stuff since I dont know a soul so I wander aimlessly about and get a drink to loosen me up. and I am looking at all the really cool costumes and stuff, checking out the art and the wares. the auction tables.
I met a man who was dressed like Bilbo Baggins. he and I struck up a conversation. He was really neet! he loved my costume. he and I got our pictures taken so many times and they are posted all over the net. I also saw a friend from the net.
She showed up and we talked, we all decided to go to brunch at Barney's beanery because I got a tip that a certain beautiful hobbit was gonna be there.
SOOO we go home and sleep and get up and go to the beanery. I of course get lost on the way. after taking a bus to hollywood and gettin off where the concierge told me to , I headed the WRONG way up the street. so I hail a cab and he takes me there
but alas no hobbits to be found, but really good eats! (makes another note to self, stay IN hollywood next time!)
Anyway the girls I am with decide to take me back to my hotel then decide that since I am going to the same party as two of the other girls Why dont I just grab my things and get ready there.. so I do and thank them very kindly.
They leave to try to see the Red Carpet thingy and I stay to chill and get ready. I take a bath and get all dolled up and put on my dress. and they come back and get ready. and then we go.
We get to the party and I feel as tho all eyes are on me. What a rush. everyone remembers me from the night before when I was dressed in my hand made Rosie Cotton costume and asks if I made that gown as well. they fawned all over me. It was grand. more pictures and a few exciting moments later the oscars are won (11 to our guys !! WOO HOO!!)
Okay so I go to bid on my things and circle the table to make sure that noone out bids me. me and this guy, Chris I think , no Chad are both bidding on LOTR Map games , and we are circling the table as it gets closer to 10 pm. then it is and we gather our things and pay for them and I take my wares to the car and get my smokes and sit outside for a bit. the head of security comes over and starts flirting with me. and I flirt back .
Well the excitement for the evening was this New Zealand news crew that showed up because NewLine had told them Pete was coming to our party. Well he never did show but it was so exciting none the less.
so as the evening ended and we were being kicked out Elliott gave me his card and asked if he could take me sight seeing the next day. I said that yes he could and then I went back to the hotel and fell out
upon waking the next am I called Elliott and met him for brunch and we had a blast.
More details later it is late and I am getting sleepy.
