Well, I WAS going to post an update tonight

[cupcake_goth]

But Dreamhost is having file server and network problems, and the GCS site has been down aaaaaalllll day. I am a bit miffed about this, but am hoping that everything will be fixed by tomorrow.

EDITED TO ADD: I swear I meant to include this in this post when I wrote it! Welcome and happy birthday to Thekla Lovely! Congratulations to Jen and Bryan!

I had a very social weekend. cass404 was visiting, which meant Running Amok with minim_calibre, dressing Cass up in gothy clothing and going to Club V, and general silliness, which included stroppy_baggage and cass404 shooting things on the XBox.

Speaking tangentially of gaming platforms, tolkiencub is very kindly loaning me his Wii and Wii Fit for a bit, so I can figure out if I'd actually use one with any regularity. Thus far, I have determined that my sense of balance is dreadful. stroppy_baggage hates the voice of the Wii Fit and the cutesy animation of the balance board, but says that watching me make cranky faces while trying to play a balance game makes up for it. Thanks, dear.

4 weeks until the Vampire Ball! Roll call! Who will I see there?

*raises hand for the roll call*

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaay! You and your boy, I assume?

[benevolentia.livejournal.com]

No, the handsome one won't be coming this year. I'm excited though because it will be my first year. I'm going with some of the Ladies :)

[icprncs.livejournal.com]

Us.

If I can figure out what to wear.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

It's about damn time you two attended one of these events, missy!

Dreamhost rarely goes down. In my now 10 years I think with them my site was done once for an hour and has been working fine. I hope they fix it lickety split!

I will be there!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Oh yay! I look forward to seeing you there!

[cass404.livejournal.com]

Clearly I will.

So, you got to watch me die horrible deaths and I don't get to see the balancey thing? I call shenanigans. (Things! Shooting! Glee!)

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

You may have missed me on the balancey thing, but stroppy_baggage waited until I went for my bath before HE tried it. Thus depriving me of my chance to giggle at him. So I call shenanigans, too.

Yes, Vampire Ball, I'll be there with bells on... or at least feathers. Don't let me forget I have tickets to sell you.

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Yes, tickets! I haven't forgotten that I need to buy them from you. :)

I am stomping my wee foot in frustration that we can't come AGAIN this year...but we couldn't really say no to a free cruise with Drew's family. Alas. Have so much fun. You'll just have to dress me up some other time!

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Free cruise?! Well, that's absolutely worth missing the Vampire Ball for. But whaaah, this means it will be even LONGER until we see you two. Bah.

[m-cobweb.livejournal.com]

Vampire Ball is looking promising indeed (even if I'm still nervously waiting for something to derail my plans).

[aprilstarchild.livejournal.com]

Me! I just found out yesterday!

Now I just have to decide what to wear. Oh no! *lol*

On the Wii Fit: Are you using the boy-trainer or the girl-trainer? I found the girl annoying, so I went with the guy. . . still kind of annoying, but at a lower pitch.

My Mom was visiting, and I got her hooked on it - she needs to improve her balance after having her hip replaced.

[mineke.livejournal.com]

I'll be there for both Friday and Saturday night festivities!!
