Today was a good day in history...or herstory if you please.
My best friend, whom I've known since 1994 and still lives in California, turns 38 today. We still talk at least once a day and it's like we live next door to each other. Pretty good after being away for 2 years.
My best friend here in NY, whom I've know practically all my life and we joke that I was her first (non-sexual) husband, turns 44 today. She bought the house next to where I grew up (and now live) so I get to see her and her family quite a bit. Yesterday, I was invited to their house for a pizza party and went over about 5. Had the chance to have a couple glasses of wine and Pizza Hut pizza that I haven't had in ages. I LOVE IT. My ex and I used to have it once a week for years. Mmmmmmmm, pan crust with green pepper, sausage, and pineapple. Now that's some heaven right there. "Pizza Hut, apply directly to my tummy."
I ended up being over there until 10. The gathering broke up after the fire went out and everyone was finished making s'mores. [I'm not a marshmallow-on-fire type of guy — I have to wait until there is no flame and just glowing coals so I can toast my marshmallows to a fine golden brown on all sides. Burning marshmallows...yuck!]
Lots of folks were there, mostly her teenage children and their friends. I'm a popular personality at these parties since the kids appreciate me and my sense of humor. I'm cheaper than hiring a clown. I was pretty quiet last night, though, and they kept asking me what was wrong and that I wasn't being funny. Not sure since I felt physically and emotionally fine. My wit seems to be in reacting to others and there just wasn't much fodder for my clever repartee.

Wow. Is that your first spam comment?
I know the feeling. Often I feel I get invited as the floorshow, and if I don't perform there's the incredulity...
Happy birthday to your friend. I have a dynamic like that with my friend Karen. I also know what you mean about your wit being somewhat dependent on the vibe of those around you. If everyone is a complete dullard, I'm not as engaging or funny, etc as I can be if everyone is on the same level and working of that energy.
To those reading this after I post, I deleted the comment that MSM is referring to...I usually catch them pretty quick and delete them but this one slipped through.
For a long time I was getting stuff from China but that stopped and I didn't get anything for a long time. Now I've gotten a couple in the past few days. I've also had spammers sending email to my gay.com account. I've had the account for 2 years and now I've had two spam emails in the last week.
Arrrggghhhh!
Will you please roast a beautiful golden crispy marshmallow? Sounds like you know how to do it right.
