The blushing bride has returned! Go say hi already! 
I've had 2 bottles of Mike's and I can barely keep my eyes open. I honestly don't know how you drinkers do it. I had 5 years of living hell with an alcoholic stepfather, so I've never been much of a fan of the drinking scene. I do like a glass of wine or some Mike's now and then, but that's about it. Oh, and a Smith & Kearns or two around the holidays. It simply astounds me that alcohol is legal and marijuana isn't. Alcohol has ruined more lives, directly and indirectly, than every illegal drug combined. Don't worry though, I'm not going to get all Carrie Nation on yo' ass. I'm just pondering what seems to me an injustice and an inconsistency.
But forget that now, and go look at Lilith's set (again, if you have already)!! She is truly one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. If I ever met her I would be totally intimidated. 
Beauty is a gift but also something of a burden - I'm just glad I don't have to worry about it!
G'night, kids. Tomorrow is Summer Solstice and Harry Potter!

I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with you on the pot/alcohol thing: pot has ruined plenty of lives too, it's just that smokers tend to fade away rather than burn out so you don't notice it happening so much. In the end both are abusable substances which only enhance self-destructive behavior which was already there if used in anything much beyond a casual way. Everything inmoderation as they say. (However the occasional blow-out is quite healthy, hence we have New Years, St. Patricks, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and birthdays. Everyone gets shit-housed on those day, right? Right?)
Edited 'cause the damned smiley didn't work. And to add that I shall be celibrating big time, and probably soberly tommorrow. I am so looking forward to the Solstice Parade. I shall take many pictures and post any good ones I get.

My girlfriend's seen some problems with alcohol in her family, so she doesn't like to drink too much. I, on the other hand, am far too much in love with beer I can't really afford to ever be anything like a teetotaller. (Yesterday I had a cranberry maple wheat ale--yum!)
Happy Summer Solstice! (It's frickin' raining here, but no matter--these days I've time to wait for the sun.)
