T minus 6 days

flexagonWell, in theory I don't have time to write this, since work is still absolutely sucking (because I have to be here today, because I didn't get here as early as I meant to today, AND because there are just all these screwball issues that have suddenly come up that I need to resolve as much as possible before Tuesday or face the continued wrath of J). I would guess the stress of that is also why I'm now on my fifth day of middle-of-the-month spotting. Bleahhhh. However, yesterday was cool and I want to write about it.
I started off in a kind of grouchy mood because I'd been trying all morning to get stuff done--I did manage an hour of random exercise at Fitness First, which although I did a pretty lousy job at cardio, weights AND stretching, still got me feeling about 20 times more human than I'd been. But by the time the hordes started showing up at 3:15 or so, B was over doing my hair (a trial run for the wedding day) and I was feeling a little better.
My first worry about the party (that they'd dress me up in some loony way I wouldn't like) was mostly dispelled when I saw that all of them--five people--had all arrived wearing all black, without consulting one another. How nice, they dressed themselves up funny instead of dressing me. So I dug out a black leather halter top I hadn't worn in years, put on my stretch jeans and blended right into the pack. My second worry, which was more about the long drive home, was dispelled when we went outside and... *gasp* ...I saw that they'd rented a limo. I said something clever like "Oh my God, you rented a limo!" and off we went. In back it was the perfect size for six, and we got to face each other and talk as a group and not worry about the driving... definitely the way to travel.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bluechromis is pretty clever, not that we didn't know that already. So after that I relaxed.
On the way down we played party games, drank, and picnicked on some excellent food made by AJ. I also got my first sex toys of the evening, as gifts... a dog collar, a cock ring, nipple clamps and a bunch of flavored condoms (not that HLM and I use them, but they were cool anyway). You can probably guess that the conversation tended toward the detailed and raunchy when we weren't playing party games (my favorite: the true/false questions about me that everyone had to guess before being shot down by the real answer. True or false:soyfetus has slept with 10 people. True or false: soyfetus is afraid of spiders. Tee hee. Maybe I just liked that one because I knew all the answers and couldn't lose.)
We got to Ptown in good order and got our drag show tickets, and went to the waterfront for a few minutes to watch the sun set--I had to borrow a cigarette from someone to take a funny picture, and shocked the hell out of everyone by taking a drag before giving it back. Naughty, nasty, and the first time I'd done it since I was 16, but I swear I saw a new respect in a couple people's eyes. :) Then we hit the sex toy shop. Here my lips must be more sealed, but I will say that the most unattached person in the group bought the most expensive vibrator in the store, but a person with a fairly new SO spent the most money. *snicker* I was somewhere in the middle with 3 new toys for $75 or so, including one of those awesome one-finger vibrators that clip onto a finger. Yeehaw. After all that the vote was almost to go straight home and play, but no, we went on to the drag show and watched funny men impersonate celebrities for a while. Dunno what to say about that except that it was funny and that the guys, when changed back to their normal selves, were remarkably normal-looking. Sometime a picture of me with them will probably come into my possession, because we took one after the show.
We found a cool puzzle & game shop while looking for a coffee place to warm up in, and I think I must have the right friends, because I wasn't the only one who went right in there (though I may have been the only one to buy something). Then it was about time to catch the limo home. We played dirty Pictionary, made great time on the way back and got to my place at about 12:30 AM, not too bad since I'd been expecting to be out til 1:00. Yay. HLM came out on the porch with the cats and looked down at us. I hugged everyone (all of whom I was feeling very warm and fuzzy towards by that point), told them not to treat me any differently once I get married, and staggered inside to have some desperately needed sex with HLM. Between my business trip and stress and stuff, it had been ages.
His parents are showing up tomorrow, so, not surprisingly, one of the things on this morning's to-do list was "hide all the sex toys." Now to just remember to also throw away the list itself before they see that!
And now to morph back to thesoyfetus who writes code, preferably the one who makes it stop having so many bugs. There's so much to do. I guess it will just be nonstop now. At least I haven't gotten sick, despite the stress, despite most of my friends doing so. I'd like to formally thank my immune system for that, while I'm thinking about it: THANK YOU, dear system, and please please keep it up.
