name dropping

argh! hangover city and i can't fall back to sleep. am determined to go to yoga at 10:30. just need this headache to subside so my head doesn't explode during my five breaths of downward facing dog!

so guess who was at my house last night. i'm going to majorly name-drop because i think it's funny. i'm not sure how much i name drop but in the past few days i've been announcing it before i do it so it's not like i'm really doing it - in announcing it i appear to name-drop just for the sake of name-dropping. ok. so. last fall my family had a fire pit constructed in the back yard. it's huge and surrounded by rocks and pine trees so an unknowing outsider might think it's some kind of cultish sacrificing ground. i swear, we only burn wood in it! last night was the season's inaugural conflagration (con-flag-a-RA-tion as my dad would say) and my sister's boyfriend's family was over (they're in town because her bf graduates from college... today.) and some of the neighbors showed up too.

so yeah last night at our inaugural conflagration were in attendance:
a doctor of the king of Some Arab nation and of the late president reagan (Dr. P, sister's boyfriend's father),
a great-great-grand-daughter of Mrs. O'Leary, the woman blamed for the great chicago fire (mrs. L, neighbor.)

*************
resolution: not going to social smoke anymore. except to scandalize people. (why i say this - last night i went out with CC, an old friend from middle/high school and the one responsible for the brainwashing that took place during my freshman year who "fell away" that same year and was later ostracised by the group that temporarily brainwashed me; her little sister is getting married in june; little sister is still under the influence of the brain washers and wants to get married and have babies - CC was telling us about her sister's sex questions, as little sister and groom-to-be are both virgins (!). anyway CC asked if we were invited to the wedding and i told her, giddily, that i would go and be her smoking/drinking buddy and shock everyone there (b/c they're getting married in the church de mi desgracia and i'm sure many people from youth group days will be in attendance not expecting to see me smoke or drink or BE HOT.) my throat hurts today.
resolution: not going to stay out late on fridays or get intoxicated knowing full well that i also really like doing yoga, but yoga with a hangover is out of the question.

so i have to go eat something to convince hangover to go bother someone else.
