Yeah, wanna hook me up with some chai, too, **sunspaces**? I like it with lotsa milk. Yummy! ---

**Sunspace** If you can’t say ANIME at the top of your voice here, where else will you go?? I’d actually be in the mood for a little anime. Moreso than watching comets impacting. But we can always watch both. Time is of no importance to us. And then it’s time to bring out the gaming cards, **Kn\*ckers**. What’s the game of your choice here? ---

_setting out several card decks_ Hearts? Poker? Go Fish? Solitaire? That last one was a joke… 'Course, if you actually _do_ want to play Solitaire, there’s enough decks. But that would be weird. ---

What a terrific idea! Thanks so much for inviting me. I have found a cake mix that makes a snack size cake. It even includes the pan and frosting. You just mix with water, bake and frost. It makes about 4 servings so I don’t have a whole cake to try not to eat. At least some companies out there try to cater to us singles. ---

HoKAY! **Anime anime anime**! That feels better. 🙂 I have the first few episodes of _Arjuna_, also _Project A-Ko_, _Akira_, _Wings of Honneamise_, and I’m overdue to return to Amine Extreme shop. There’s also _Video Girl Ai_–oh wait, that’s relationship-based, never mind– \ Chai for those who want it… ---

I didn’t even realize that Hearts would be ironic, but I guess it is, for us Singles. Fun, too. Deal me in. I popped some popcorn, if anyone wants it. ---

I’m always partial for a good game of Pass the Shit. But we have to play for real money. No point in gambling if you’re not going to take real chances. ---

Pleased to meetya, Stella. Why won’t you sit down at my table…I’ll introduce you to my Gin & Tonic. I’m also in for popcorn and chai. No point in dieting today. Not that chai was bad for your diet. ---

Hey, popcorn’s not _that_ bad, either, **Einmon**. It’s not like, say, ice cream. Speaking of which, anyone want ice cream? We could set up a sundae station… ---

I come bearing Ben and Jerry’s! They’re like a sundae in a pint jar, don’tcha know. Now for baking, I like to share. I take cookies to work and am instantly hailed as heroine of the day. My friends are packing on the pounds, but not me, so much, heh heh heh! Now, is this cut-throat Hearts or will you take it easy on me if I get to play? Keep in mind I’m a very amusing bad loser. ---
