sleepytime

so traveling is not terribly conducive to posting. nor to sleeping, apparently. i'd forgotten how late my big h friends stay up.

anyways. being here has been enormously fun thus far - i've seen many many people, visited all my favorite haunts, and generally had a glorious, if exhausting time. kong three times in as many nights - it's been completely redecorated and looks a swanky now, though the food is still as greasy and groan inducing as ever. tealuxe makes me happy, as does curry chicken soup from le's and mojitos at casablanca.

the show was glorious - i'm so proud of hrgsp and its production values, even if the board is apparently falling apart at the seams. all japaned out - gorgeous kimonos, beautiful set, lovely voices - it was so odd to sit down and realize i'd had nothing at all to do with it. for the first time in four years, my name was no where in the program. actually, that's not quite true, as i donated enough to be listed as a patron. but still, that's only on an insert.

ball afterwards was quite fun, and though i forgot to take any pictures, plenty have been posted on facebook. they remind me that i need to start going to the gym and eating only cucumbers or something. but oh well. we danced and sang and drank lots of champagne, then danced and drank some more, and finally ended up with only grads (plus apope) at the kong before finally heading to bed. the last two nights have been 4am bedtimes.... such ridiculousness.

apope decided mid ball that we were each other's default date, so, as with last year's qball, we danced and held hands, followed each other around, and generally behaved as though we were on a date. which is always fun, though i don't think i would ever actually date that boy, despite his sweetness. i don't know that he'd actually date me, either. mel g and i crashed in his room, which, in my overly champagned and vodka'd state, i had rather hoped i'd be crashing in by myself, so that if nothing else, i could get a nice cuddle out of him. in the long run, it's of course better that that didn't happen. but still.

i apologize for no photos ... oh well, i'll remember to pull out my camera in ny and dc. tomorrow is library day and tonight i am retiring early as my throat hurts and i can barely keep my eyes open.
