plumtreeblossomTuesday after Diesel, I had an extremely fun dinner with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beowabbit, joyeous, barodar, and our new friend Damon (don't know if he's on LJ, but vee haf vays of making heem join). I'd never had an actual full meal at The Burren before, and in fact I keep forgetting that it's ever anything but a hangout for Tuft's kids. Yummy food and great company, and best fries evAR. (which would be "chips" in the UK, but the menu called them fries). Damon gave Wabbit and me a ride to my house, since it was as cold as the Kuiper Belt. Having access to a Wabbit in winter is a thing to be most thankful for. :-)

On Wednesday, I came home to a mysterious package from my mother. It was narrow and almost 4 feet long, and I couldn't imagine what it might be. Upon opening it, I got the awesome surprise of:
The Women Writers Umbrella!
Isn't that cool? Jane Austen, Mary Shelly, Emily Dickinson... I hadn't been expecting a gift since it's nowhere near my birthday or anything, and I called to thank her. She said she just saw it in a paper catalogue and though I would like it. I definitely do. My Mommy rocks!

Last night,vanguardcdk and I got an all-too-rare visit from jimmystagger. There needs to be an army of Jimmystaggers so that everyone can have one. Ostensibly he'd come over so I could help him revamp his OKCupid profile (which we'd originally scheduled for Monday but I was still under the weather), but mostly he just treated me and CDK to The Inimitable Jim Show. We barely had to talk at all -- Jimmy has enough stories to keep 10,000 campfires entertained. And we found punk rock personals! Ladies, look for him there once his new photos are taken!

If you have any tips on writing good OkCupid profiles, I'd love to hear them!! I might be able to incorporate them into the "How to Write a Good OkCupid Profile" survival guide thingy I'm writing for Thursday...
