Friday night with friends
Aug. 23rd, 2008 08:53 amYesteday I'd arranged to meet
fireun at the mall, so we could go for drinks after work. As I was walking in from the parking lot, I saw
fireun and
djkc driving away. Waving to me as they giggled. I stopped in the middle of the lane, head hung down, a picture of dejection, wailing "Oh noes!"
A kind woman stopped and asked "Did you miss your ride?" in a tone of voice well-suited for dealing with a distraught child.
"Err, um, no. They're parking," I replied.
Turns out that
fireun had scooted home so she could pick up the souvenir she brought me from her trip out west--an awesome beer glass that proclaims the virtues of interspecies love: 
Safely reunited with my friends, I called
jpsorrow's cell phone and left him a message stating our intent to proceed into Ruby Tuesday's, begin devouring brains, and asked that he bring bail money. Surprisingly he showed up not too much later. And he'd brought freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, yum.
With friends like these, how can you go wrong?

Date: 2008-08-23 05:39 pm (UTC)i was impressed at the sheer number of fruity drinks our dear server (she deserves some sort of sainthood) brought to the table. it was fascinating. an endless parade of froofy indulgence.
i love the fact someone stopped to make sure you were ok. adds a bit to my faith in humanity gauge, and also provides an entertaining story to tell friends and family for years to come.
we must needs to this on some manner of regular schedule.
