it was a great party

Last night's party was quite a special one. I'm glad I went, though having a couple beers with my medicine made me a wee unsteady on the legs. But then, Gene showed up and gave me a hug so maybe he was drinking all day? He spent a lot of the night slapping other people on the ass, as did so many other people in the front yard. I don't think we've ever had a party that generated that sort of insanity before. It was like a virus, or a meme.

My husband inflamed Sarah by describing how he would work Johnny Depp's ass, Melynda very loudly used the word whore to describe someone else at the party, James did his booty dance a couple of times, Micah took off his shirt, and I punched Gene in the kidneys. That was only a small sampling of the various bits of insanity that occurred. Nick was running around, several underage lame highschool girls showed up with Al's jailbait girlfriend, Jim appeared out of nowhere, and Sam gave me vicodin when my pain started to resurface. At that point, I lost whatever tact filter I had and began trading caustic opinions with Melynda. Rachel made several kinds of delicious kolache, and sent some home with me. Sarah slapped both Alan and Brett on the ass in one fell swoop. I laughed a lot. Gene and I had a conversation in Czech, Russian and French about why he thought Melynda didn't need babies. Tyler offered Melynda ten minutes and some babies. It was all very wrong!

We were quite lucky that it didn't rain. But there were eight million snails in the yard to crunch underfoot.

EDIT 10:54AM

I keep thinking of other odd bits, like Alan, Brett and Sam lighting a fire in the metal trash can in the back yard, and having a little too much fun with the lighter fluid. I am surprised no one burned their eyebrows off. Elisa tripped on the power cord and turned off all the white christmas lights in the backyard, and for a moment we stood in the dark. It was like being eight again, when we would sneak out and play Ghost in the Graveyard.

I told the sheep fungus story for the first time in years! I'd almost forgotten that. Thank you high school. Melynda also tried to sell her youngest sister off with a dowry of many sheep. I don't think anyone can afford Heather, though.

I don't believe in sin taxes. It's discriminatory, and it's bullshit. Why on earth do we allow subjective moral stances on things that are perfectly legal, such as strip clubs and cigarettes? Why not tax the vegans for not supporting our nation's beef industry? I want a five dollar surcharge on every hippie who steps outside reeking of marijuana, patchouli and a week's worth of unwashed stench. How about a special tax on all cars that earn less than 18 miles per gallon, or trucks that are too big to fit in the parking spaces at the grocery store? Can we tax the stupid just for being stupid? How about a tax on all people who have annoying little dogs?

Or maybe we could empty Governor Good Hair's bank account and solve some of the budget woes. I shouldn't read about local politics so early in the day.

I've taken more pills, more painkillers in the past twenty four hours than I have in the past year. I avoid pills and such unless I'm in serious pain for the most part, but this has been agonizing.

The upshot is that I think it may be okay. The tooth looks like it is coming in straight and whole. The pain right now appears to be concentrated in the gum, and soft tissue in that corner of the jaw. I'm praying it's not infected or anything, just an exceptionally sucktacular entrance.

We gamed a bit tonight, a slow D&D session. Alonso didn't show and we were short a sorceror which made things difficult as all get out. It gave me a bad headache. My only real problem was Jason being so dice and rules happy, and how our characters had no real reason to be doing anything. That was a little frustrating, but perhaps my pain addled state caused me to miss something. Combat is quick and dirty as it should be, we just need to find some reason for these characters to come together.

I've got a better idea of who my ranger character is now, however. He's perhaps the most lawful character I've ever played.
