Lis and I blew off my cousin [livejournal.com profile] kyshwn's birthday party tonight, because we were just too wiped. We managed to get to [livejournal.com profile] roozle and [livejournal.com profile] sunspiral's party in the afternoon, though, which was good.

The stupid thing is, right now, I'm hungry, and I want GOOD food, and I don't want to cook, and I know I could just go a third of a mile over to their house to the party which is going to have good food and good people. . . but I don't wanna leave the house. Even though I want to see folks. And I want to eat food their food. It's the Hot Foods Party, which is one of those times during the year where everybody makes their best show-off potluck dishes, and it's fantastic. But I'm too wiped to head out.

I met [livejournal.com profile] sinboy for the first time in person at the party, which was fun, since we've known each other for several years online. [livejournal.com profile] rosefox was going to be in Boston, and dragged him along, because, y'know, hot foods. Which is a good reason. [livejournal.com profile] mzkero was there, and I haven't see her in YEARS -- I mean, this is the first time I met her son.

I dragged [livejournal.com profile] vonbeck with us, because he just moved into our downstairs apartment, you know, where [livejournal.com profile] any_contingency used to live. For that matter, [livejournal.com profile] any_contingency was there, and a bunch of our old co-workers from the Harvard Club were going to be there, who I haven't seen since I got fired. They are probably there right now, and it would be great to see them, but, again, tired.

I also dragged another friend with us, and she has an LJ name, too, but she tries to keep her online presence totally separate from her real life, so I'll let her decide whether to decloak and mention who she is on LJ.

[livejournal.com profile] tigerbright, [livejournal.com profile] teddywolf, and [livejournal.com profile] browngirl were walking in as we were leaving, which would be another reason to go back. Although, given that they were traveling with a Small Human themselves, there is a strong possibility that they've already gone home.

Anyway, in conclusion, I am feeling so incredibly lazy that I am giving up an opportunity to track down really, really top-notch free food eaten in the company of hundreds of my favorite people.

It was lovely to see you. *)

[livejournal.com profile] tigerbright et al. were getting ready to leave as we left, I think. There's still plenty of good food, though.

Tigerlily brought me and the baby home a bit before 8, then returned to the party and remained til about 10:30 or so.

I was exhaustipated, and the baby was overstimulated. I did Daddy things and otherwise was low energy for a good five hours after coming home.

I skipped a bunch of parties down here that I really wanted to go to because I needed the soliitude. Always good to listen to the heart.

Hey next year can I come to the hot foods party?

Sure! Roozle and Sunspiral gave Lis and me the right to invite third parties to their house, because they trust our taste in friends. And, so far, everyone who I've brought to their parties has only confirmed their trust in our taste in friends -- on our way out, Roozle told us to continue bringing them cool people.

You count.

Do you particularly like hot&spicy foods, or just want the chance to socialize with this crowd?

Because [livejournal.com profile] sunspiral and [livejournal.com profile] roozle have two other parties during the year -- start and end of summer.

Those can feel a bit less crowded because it's warm enough that the party spreads over the whole lawn.
The Hot Foods Party (being February) is the same number of people crammed inside the house, and can sometimes feel like a game of Rush Hour.

Don't be put off by the hot foods theme if you have a tender tummy or palate. There were plenty of "cooling off" foods there, too, and all were delicious. Even the hot dishes ranged from just barely warm to incendiary. Besides, the people are great, so even if you don't feel like eating, it's a wonderful party.

Decloaking

I've "kinda" decloaked... When I signed the party-goers list I used my real name and my LJ name. I figured that anyone who'd be reading that list is someone I don't mind knowing who I am in "real" life. I'm not quite ready to put that out there for everyone on the 'net, though.
