Honey Put On That Party Dress.....(RL and RP Post)
Okay, actual update time!
Holy fuck. It's 2:30, and I'm exhausted. Like ready to fall asleep exhausted. I think I did doze off watching a movie I've seen a dozen times, actually. I haven't even finished unpacking, I have no clean clothes to the point where I'm wearing my autographed Twisp and Catsby (PA) shirt because it's the only thing clean. That isn't a giant sweater, but it's 85 degrees.
My uncle went home this morning. He didn't even say goodbye last night, to me at least, he just left before I was awake. Classy. But he did take us out to dinner last night, and it was...really good. The food was delicious, and finally! A mexican restaurant that understand when I say 'just cheese and sauce' I mean 'just cheese and sauce'. I don't mean 'just cheese and sauce and the onions, tomatoes and peppers that are also in the dish but not listed on the menu'. I had these amazingly yummy little chicken taco things, on the most delicious tortillas I've ever had. And delicious refried beans, and Spanish rice, and since it was my uncle's dime, I ordered dessert. I don't even particularly like cheesecake that much, but it was the most expensive dessert on the menu so I went for it. I ate the delicious strawberry topping, and my dad ate the actual cheesecake. I also had a bite of my mother's flan, and it was to die for. We ended up buying a bottle of their homemade salsa, too, because it was that delicious.
For those of you who have not heard the stories of my uncle, there is a reason that we order the expensive food when he pays. He's very wealthy, and shares his wealth liberally with random waitresses - including buying one of his regular waitresses a bracelet that cost $1,500, just because he thought she'd like it, not even for her birthday or Christmas - but never gives us any money, even when we're struggling to get by. He also uses my parent's house as a hotel, eats their food, uses their gas, water, electricity, etc and just assumes that whatever we have is his as well. And never says thank you.
I have a lasagna in the oven, and I need to do laundry. The washing machine is finally free, but I feel like I've melted into the couch and can't get up.

damned since NS has started. Tamaki's got the clinic going, Eileen is still trying to grasp what's going on, Lust will be burying her sorrow in killing things and clinging to Gluttony, and I believe Valyn and co are going after files tonight!
Am still enjoying CU, it's a great break fromdamned. Not that I'm saying I need a break, just...something lighter. Not so much doom and angst and massive, massive thinking. I've only got two characters, and they're easy and it's a more open scenario. It's a good balance. And oh, the web of lies and manipulation! If Dante weren't already kind of in hell, I'd say she was so going to hell. She's screwed if any other FMA characters show up, though. It'd be hard to play the poor, grieving, bereft mother/widow/whatever with people spilling her real story.
Henry is still bumbling along, getting used to being a social creature, and trying to untangle his overly-complex feelings about Eileen. I kind of want to shake him and yell 'you like her, you idiot, that's all there is too it!'. But it's Henry, and he overthinks things. He's also dealing with the OMG!PANIC! of Walter showing up. He still needs to sit down and have his chat with Alessa, too. He is a busy, busy boy!

chaneystarr, ranchangrnl, chocomimi! I think there's only...um...well, I've only got two threads planned for pre-fete. One with Valyn and Lorryn, one with Rena and Keman? I don't know if there are any other threads planned, but.... When chocomimi's back and settled in, shall we move on over there?

Hahahaha, yeah, he is in the swanky place! It's like a penthouse apartment, basically. (I'm sure Metatron will lend a hand if he needs it!)
I'm making dinner right now, but I should be around this evening!

It's going to be interesting to see how things pan out when he finally gets to Asgard; I don't even have any plans of what to do with him once that happens :o
Sure, just poke me via LJ if you want me to hop on Gchat for a bit

Yes! Hopefully he can make it there for the party! He should. Because that would be awesome, from what little I have seen of him. :D
OKAY! When I am on, I shall ping you!
