Yes I just came home and yes I've been running all day in these high heeled boots. Yes I should be going to bed, but I have so many notes to make.
My supervisor gave me a little gift, colorful candles with a glass holder. So fragrant I could smell it through the wrapping paper. During work, a SWAT team along with snipers and ambulances camped out behind the store. I have no clue as to what was going on but the road was blocked off.
Melynda and I watched Harry Potter again tonight. The buttons on the pants please me immensely, as do those odd shoes. Kind of like my old oxford wingtips. Madame Hooch has these wonderful boots on, and I do like her. We laughed and sighed longingly. We went to Metro afterwards, and I managed to race Melynda down there. My car shouldn't be forced to endure that kind of speed, but it was worth the look of shock on her face when I pulled abreast of her on Mopac. Easily a triple digit speeding ticket.
There was much card playing, coffee drinking and smoking. Such a good mood. Matt appeared for a little while, before he went home to watch The Hunger. Micah took his place in the epic rounds of Shanghai Rummy, and Melynda definitely had her game back tonight. She pulled some amazing hands, and I think I set a record losing score on the last round.
She also used an incredibly awful middle school bit of slang I haven't heard in years, and I almost fell out of my chair. That's what happens when television has a 90210 marathon in the middle of the day.
Micah and I wound up staying after she left, with a sudden burst of alertness. We attempted to play Spice & Malice, but the decks rebeled in a creepy way. When we flipped cards to determine who had the first move, we both drew aces. With much confusion and laughter we shoved them back into the middles of the decks. Then we both flipped twos. Terrified we tried to sort the decks back out and stuff them into the boxes. Definitely a sign we should go home and to bed.
Spent a lot of time watching a dark haired boy write and smoke. His friend stared at me and I talked to him a little from afar. Silly girl, to even think about it.
Now I should sleep. More work later today, and then I have two days off in which to play.

It was going to be, but then I saw Potter again, and I was like, no, no this is too funny.
settling cut disputes...
the ranking common to almost all games is:
spades
hearts
diamonds
clubs
the middle two are interchangable and comes down to one of the ultimate questions (what's more important to you, love or money) but spades are pretty universally regarded as the highest trump and clubs as the lowest. (which is why 2 of clubs leads in spades)
so when we cut for deal, ace of clubs gets it automatically. my most common draw is the ace of diamonds, leaving only one card in the deck that can beat it (the people i play with have taken to calling the ace of diamonds "my card" when it comes up).
I know you asked me this earlier...but I forgot where! ; )
joy!

Re: settling cut disputes...
And 4am, it's a hell of a lot more amusing to imagine that my roommate has cursed the cards so we can't win. Plus it happened twice! :P
Re: joy!
The way I have it in my head for my little monster (but there are a million ways to do this pairing, all of them terrifying), is that the back story there was they used to argue constantly, got into a really violent, just for the hell of it, fuckbuddy arrangement, which eventually led to him getting spooked by something and telling her a little bit of his death eater past, and then she got annoyed and decided he was getting sweet on her, and dropped the whole thing and now they grouse at each other about who was inappropriately into who and messed it all up.
Re: joy!
A million terrifying ways, yes. Well said. I can picture yours rather well, especially the grousing. Heh.
Re: joy!
Yay!
I think I've figured out how to work in that bit of backstory, but it will have to hold until the post-party drama that's going to ensue. Ch. 32 has just gone live, btw.
