Is anyone averse to throwing a couple of more candles on - wait, I’ll bring another cake. Never mind. ---

Anyone with hip waders is advised to wear them. You have to cross Lake Anita to get into the house today. Well, it’s better than ice! :eek: Anyone who needs my phone number should shoot me an email. ---

I’m off to buy beer as well. Two cases enough? The bf punked out on me, so that’s about as much as I can carry, I think. ---

> [@gobear](#): > > The bf punked out on me… Sure, that Ashton Kutcher is a cutie, but he’s got nothin’ on _you_. How could your bf do such a thing? [/shameless flirt OFF] On to our ETA update… **tdc** is rinsing off the hard-earned _eau de construction worker_, and then we’re on the road. See y’all round 6:30-7 p.m. Save some fun for us. 😉 ---

Ahh, good to not stink anymore. Well…except for my shoes which reeek of **moi** ’s perfume, which broke in the bag. Still, there are worse things. We’ll be on the road directly. ---

NOOOOOOOO!!! Here I am, back in my humble dorm room, and I forgot my pot/towel for the food I brought! Is anyone going to be around tomorrow in the early afternoon for me to pick it up? Golly. I’m so embarassed. :o ---

:throwing caution to the wind, AnitaVacation gives the keyboard to the crazy MADs: ultrafilter says moo. Airman Doors wants to know when Olentzero is going to lead the proletariat in an overthrowing of the capitalists. Probably after he’s finished oppressing the Hungarians and Czechs, methinks. MsRobyn is laughing her ass off listening to **danceswithcats** and **Olentzero** swap stories of the dumbness of Pennsylvanians with respect to fire. Her opinion of Pennsylvanians’ collective intelligence isn’t as high as it once was, and it was never that high to begin with. OpalCat is a doodie head. (sez OpalCat) danceswithcats wonders why Anita Vacation opens her home to this bunch of drunken miscreants. Then again, some of us bring pie. **Olentzero** is a drunken miscreant currently having the nape of his neck iced down by **Aureos**. She is an evil bitch. Aureos: I am sweet innocent and pure, contrary to what the drunken sots say! Especially helium sucking, drinking sots (seen above) GingerOfTheNorth: Anita’s neighbour is drunk and has given my son Critter-Bug a guitar and stand. As a matter of fact, one of my fellow choiristers has shown him a couple of chords tonight. I expect that I will learn to hate both the neighbour and the choirister within a matter of days. Brian the not-a-doper is sitting here, and giggling at everything I say. Gefilte-fuck would be a good name for a band, says MsRobyn. There is a hue and cry at such a suggestion. Including a punk version of Hava Nagila! Olentzero (the red bastard) figures that it would rule the universe. It is way too late. I’m tired. I have to sing nasty Episcopalian music in about 9 hours. Hell. There’s a punk “Dreidel” song being sung behind me. Shitfuckdamn.
