Late night babbling
Mar. 15th, 2009 11:06 pmThis afternoon Tai and I headed over to
neuraltube 's place to celebrate Blue's birthday. Tai had a blast, playing with the big kids and checking out all of Blue's cool toys. It took him a minute or two to warm up, since we were (almost) the last ones there, and he'd been sleeping in the car. But pretty soon he was flirting with
janisfan and
artemis_rich . Unfortunately, I was not as adorable. I'm not too sure what my deal was, I just got an attack of the awkwards. Every now and again I get overly self-conscious and I start over-thinking how I'm coming across to people and I start to feel like a big dork who is just lurking around the edges of a group. Which makes me act like a big dork who is lurking around the edges of a group. Lame. I certainly didn't make my best impression, but I showed up - which is a much bigger thing than it sounds. Usually I'll just hide out at home. Tai, on the other hand, always loves a good party and I didn't want to deprive him. Plus, I wanted to wish Blue a happy 4th birthday. He's such a big kid, and so amazingly sweet to Tai. When Tai arrived, Blue gave him the nicest hug and kiss. I wish I'd had a camera.
While I know it's good for the state and all, I am so bummed that it's raining again. Tai and I have been enjoying running around the neighborhood and haunting the playground every day. What are we going to do with ourselves while it's raining? Maybe I'll have to find him a raincoat to go withe the boots I got him and we can see what the city is like in the rain. Tai loves to make the covers over PG&E meters clank when he stomps on them - I bet he'll dig stomping in puddles.
I've been doing a lot of reading on Livejournal lately, trying to keep up with RaceFail '09. A lot has been said, some of it batshit insane, but some of it well-written and insightful. I especially found both parts of Mary-Anne Mohanraj's entry on John Scalzi's blog really amazing. More to say about this soon - but not tonight. It's too late for using of the brain.
Also - Mel is coming to town next month. I cannot wait!
