Ladies night - Friday night, Carolyn brought over a fantastic Austrian Riesling and we sat on the couch eating tons of snack food and catching up. It was a lovely evening and there's just something awesome about lazing around with a glass of wine and your girlfriends.
Friends with good news - Saturday I heard some really fantastic news for a friend. She hasn't shared it with everyone yet so I'll keep it to myself but I am so insanely happy for her.
Changeling - Saturday night, I headed off to a new LARP with a fantastic character that I created. The entire night was everything I wanted it to be. The other players are fantastic (and most of my very dearest of friends), my makeup and costume worked out perfectly, post-game diner food with lovely people was a ton of fun, and I'm just super thrilled to see where the game goes. My biggest accomplishment of the night, though, was in the post-game shout-outs. It's a LARPer tradition that once we wrap game, we go around and give shout-outs to people who were particularly fantastic that night (like my friend, Elise, who cut her hair IN GAME). I have always been a bit of a sideline character and have never been particularly noticeable. Apparently that has changed as I got shout-outs for my super creepy character and my awesome ability to sneak up out of nowhere and stare you down. I really love my character and I'm glad she's giving off the right vibe.
Starting the week off right - I started the week off waking up next to a pretty fantastic guy who then took me out to breakfast before driving me to work. I'm pretty sure it was the best possible way to start the work week.
Barriers to scientific progress - My Behavior Genetics and Evolutionary Psychology has an odd sense of humor and I'm not entirely sure the rest of the class always knows when he's joking. Tuesday night he suggested that we all have children and then switch kids so that we could do adoption studies on them. When the majority of the class declined, stating that they had no intention of ever having any children, he shouted that we were all barriers to scientific progress. I kind of adore his crazy.
Ivy loves Ivan - At Christmas, I got Ivy an adorable stuffed monkey from Build-A-Bear. This morning, I got a text message from Sarah that Ivy had played with Ivan on her scooter all night last night and then insisted that Ivan put on a dress and come to the nanny's with her this morning. Kind of made my heart melt a little.
Halfway there - Once I head home after class tonight, I will be halfway done with the summer quarter. It's going quickly but I'm doing well, I'm enjoying them and I am so ready for August.
