i dreamt i saw you walking
up a hillside in the snow
casting shadows on the winter sky
as you stood there counting crows
one for sorrow, two for joy,
three for girls, and four for boys,
five for silver, six for gold, and
seven for a secret never to be told

there's a bird that nests inside you
sleeping underneath your skin
when you open up your wings to speak
i wish you'd let me in

from "a murder of one" ~ counting crows
Why did the pirate wear a steering wheel on his penis?

Hi, guys! Guess what?! My stripper name is 'Jasmine'! Ra's stripper name is 'Ariel Moon'! We decided that every girl should have a stripper name, and since i have some real jasmine in my hair today from a really sweet lady on the floor, i chose that one and Ra and i discussed hers at length until we came upon the perfect one for her.

We are not sure WHY we need stripper names, but we felt that we must be prepared for anything . . . what if we are on vacation in Vegas and we accidentally witness a murder by the mob and we're running for our life and stumble into a strip club and get shoved onto the stage and see the bad guys on the other side of the smoky club looking for us and we're on a side stage and we need a stripper name? That would be a REEEEALLY bad time to have stripper name block, now wouldn't it?

In other news, my sister was successfully baptized Sunday and the little gathering afterwards was nice . . .

i don't remember Monday, or Tuesday, very well right now, but Wednesday i bought a bed, cleaned and rearranged the apartment some, and Thursday was great fun!

i had a huge (for my apartment) dinner party thing on the spur of the Tuesday's moment. Since Uncle Wedgie and the Jaunty Little Elf are leaving us and running quite far away to shaky town, i was having them over to feed them and buy their possessions when i thought of My Rabid Baby and her man, The God of Entertainment and thought they'd like to see them, too. Abby had not yet met them and Louis is a great friend and fellow partier, and they brought along Mr Dirty for fun! We had nachos and cheese dips and chicken and other things that happened to be around along with the beer and mudslides (Roni came home early, so it was light social drinking, but that was fine as the group was perfectly mixed and conversations were the real attraction for us all) Roni was a little wild but it worked out fine and i think it was pretty successful for my first real party in my apartment (i have been there 3 years!) and fell asleep, exhausted when they all left.

Friday, i got up and took Roni to school and came back to bed to wait for Wedgie, The Elf, and Abby to show up so we could go move Abby, but Abby was up much later than the three of us and was running behind. We got a late start and basically packed up most of Abby's bedroom and some kitchen before calling it a day. i was supposed to see Christine, but she had to cancel at the last minute so chilled out, ate dinner, and went to bed early.

Saturday was the official Move Abby Day. We woke up a little early and got all distracted but made it to Abby�s with pigs in a blanket for her to eat and were only 15 minutes late . . . It took only one trip with two trucks and two cars, i cleaned her new bathroom, Angel worked on her new desk, and then we all went to Applebee's stinky, sweaty, and tired for a lovely lunch provided by Abby's parents who rawk totally! It was getting late when we left the restaurant so we said our good-byes and good-lucks, hugged everyone, and went home to shower and change. After that, Angel and i watched High Fidelity, got into a tickle fight, goofed off for a little, went to get Amy & Sam, cooked and ate dinner for them, had some drinks, watched SNL, and went to bed in preparation for the long day we had planned for Sunday.

On Friday, Abby gave Sam, Amy and i four tickets to Six Flags so that we could all have a last hurrah before they left and since we were moving Abby on Saturday, i called Ra and asked her if it would be possible to take Sunday off and it was fine, so the girls spent the night with us and we all went to Six Flags! We got up early, went shopping and ate breakfast then got to the park to find out that it was not open until 11 due to some goofy artsy crap. They opened the gates at 10 or so but blocked off the Titan and Giant until 11. We rode Titan first and then played around the rest of the day, riding all the rides we could and most of them twice! The lines were short, the water was free, and it got cloudy and cooler by 1pm with a touch of rain for an hour.

It was so perfect and we stayed all day and had such a good time we were dead tired and hoarse by the time we got back to my place. i took a quick shower and gave my feet a break. They hurt so bad from all the walking we did that i was crawling! Angel went home and then out to The Village with his room mates to party while the three of wimpy girls stayed in and watch Pretty in Pink until Roni came home. That's when they left and the two of us went to bed . . .
