zana16Ivy made us food. It was good. Yay Spanish food. It is good for the angst-weary soul.
Came home this afternoon to find the livingroom taken over by the dads to watch the football game. The shear stereotypicalness of it made me laugh.
Played foozball for the first time today. Either Tom let me win or I'm pretty good at it.
Discussed evolution of characters with Katie. Darcy is a OC in a fanfic that, I realized after awhile, was not really a fanfic in that the actual canon characters had nothing whatsoever in common with my characters, except names and descriptions. She described a swordswallower who evolved into a sexgoddess. The inevitable "so she's still swallowing swords" comment had to come up, and we collapsed into giggles.
I've realized I haven't been laughing much. I only noticed because these last few days I've laughed a lot with a lot of friends. Paris was lonely. Even great works of art and the Luxembourg Gardens don't fill the void in one's heart when one just doesn't have many people who they really connect with. I'm still getting used to being around people I'm choosing to be around. It means getting out of the habit of just going off and doing the things I want to do by myself. I may have seen the biggest museums of Europe that way, and it may mean that I can spend seven hours in the Prado without anyone saying "You want to sit in the Titian room again?", but it is lonely still. I've been so used to going it alone that it's odd getting back in the habit of sharing experiences with other people.
Katie's brother may be joining me in my movement to take over the world by organizing hackers into a form that will subsequently take over the government and instigate a revolution. Good thing, since that means there'll be an actual hacker in the movement. I'm just along for the revolution. And the hacking-into-Bill-Gates's-credit-account side benefits.
