So.
Went to a ScarredAngel's bday party. Hilarity and fun, even if I had to duck out about an hour early before I suffered more irreversible hearing damage. Something inherently cool about a C&W duo that can do covers of Michael Jackson and Bone Thugs, but no ZZ Top.
I will get them for the wedding. Of course, since I'm still minus one female for that, I've got planning time.
In unrelated news, the woman who I've been playing text message tag with called me up out of the blue today, asking if I'll be at a gaming event in a couple weeks. We also compared jobs (how the fuck is it that pharmacy techies are coming out of the woodwork all at once?!), meds, oddness of lovelives, and our reactions to various drugs. Personal-ish stuff. At the end of it, the woman says she's spent her lunch break chatting with me, and that it's the best one she's had in a while.
She laughs at my jokes. She got in a fight with her (then) boyfriend over something he said about my long-delayed books. She pretty much told me the exact methods needed for me to do something under-handed and get her into bed.
She lives in Topeka.
Naturally, I'm now making plans to be there anyway. Fuck it - not like I'm committing to something I'm not semi-expected to show for anyway.
Edit: I also heard back from my boss of bosses. They've got so many applications for the recently-opened position, they're going to cull writing samples and post them anonymously for fan review. That alone should whittle it to near nothing, and frankly, I've got one hell of an edge over most of the others who'll be submitting. Been doing this for five years.
