Oh, there’s a stunner. JC flirting? DOESN’T HAPPEN.

My sister liked the pictures, even though I had to assure her there was NO PORN on the site like her firewall said there was. Stoopit GNWT.

Good god I’m one ugly SMF. No wonder the kids stayed away from me. Hell I’d have stayed away from me. I hope I didn’t give to many people nightmares.

Well at first she did hide from me, but then she needed help with the computer and didn’t seem too afraid. Mrs Chance was afraid of me though, especially when she thought I was kidnapping Baby Kate. 😃

If she’d actually thought that we’d be checking the body in the woods now.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

**Meros** was supposed to be our ride. His class schedule was changed and he had to cancel.

As a result, I miss truth or dare. Sadly, the SDMB has no weeping with anguish smiley.

On the upside, I attended last wednesday’s D&D session in partial costume and **Meros** did have a digital camera

[Voila!](http://www.livejournal.com/users/thanos563/21577.html#cutid1)

The final costume will not have a brown cloak, but large mylar wings and a beaked faceplate will be attached to the front of the helmet.

Sorry for the unusual format of the above post.

That and the lack of clarity in my costume description.

“The final costume will not have a brown cloak, but large mylar wings and a beaked faceplate will be attached to the front of the helmet”

Makes it sound like I’m attaching the wings to the front of the helmet as well.

Rather than the cloak, the final version will have a large pair of silvery mylar wings attached to the back of the cuirass. Instead of the mylar mask, a metal faceplate (complete with beak) will be attached to the front of the helmet.

☹ I missed truth or dare and you missed the opportunity to see my award winning adaption of Wagner’s Ring cycle using my genitalia. (Note- On the advice of my urologist, Fafnir no longer breathes fire)

I was not wearing a lace-up bodice. There’s a tiny bit of lacing at the top of the dress, but I hadn’t even bothered.

Had a grand time, kids had a grand time. Frankie and Kate were both so pink they could be seen from space.

How I managed to NOT meet people who were there, I don’t know…but I did. So, hi there.

Huh. I’ve been at two parties with **Hamadryad** now, and haven’t introduced myself.

Hello there. I’m **ultrafilter** , the guy who had marker on his face.

It had laces. Thus it is lace-up. 😛

I prefer to think of it as ‘being gallant’.

Gallantry is good.’) I’m afraid I’m also among those who are still searching for a photo in which I do not look like a total dork. **JC** , it really was a wonderful party, and the gentlemen (and ladies) were every bit as charming and handsome as I hoped they’d be. **Gobear** , you still leave me wishing you were straight on occaision, even if you are taken, but on the other hand, having to choose among \*\*ultrafilter, Scuba Ben, \*\*and **Avi8torMike** would be a wonderful dilemma indeed!
