I will be at the chocolate-tasting gala in Oakland the evening of the 5th of February. It's a fundraiser for a wonderful dance company, Big Moves. cassidyrose will be performing, and stonebender's partner will be the emcee. It's a lovely cause, and who can beat a bunch of chocolate and a bunch of half-nekkid fat chicks?

I survived the LJ Blackout of 2005 -- stonebender, I thought you would love this.

Such generous friends and loves I have.

I don't love my friends because they give me stuff, but people have been so sweet about giving me stuff recently that I wanted to post some thanks.

Thanks, mactavish, for the way-cool writing desk, which has already made my life easier.

Thanks, Carol, for the little black dress. I feel so purty in it.

Thanks, stonebender, for the wonderful anniversary and the wonderful presents. You rock.

Thanks, firecat, for the dress. I love batik, and I feel like a total hippy in it. someotherguy had to put daisies in my hair today to complete the look.

Thanks, TOTGA, for the picture of you with your family. Your happiness and theirs are a huge comfort to me.

Thanks, klwalton, for holding on to my computer for me when I was unable to pick it up at the wombat gathering. I liked the break from constantly being connected, but I also liked getting it back.

Thanks, kalmn, for the card and letter that came just at a moment when I was feeling lonely and missing friends far away.

Thanks, porcinea, for the postcard. I love getting mail from my favorite Sophisticated Big City Girl.

Thanks, someotherguy and sogwife, for all your cheerful help with our home lately. I am so grateful that I have you.

Thanks, sogwife, for all the beautifying elements you've added to the place.

I am certain I have forgotten some of you. Thanks to you, too, and please forgive me for my bad memory.

onionsniper posted a survey where one is supposed to list twenty bands/acts one has seen live. ( I'm not sure I've seen twenty acts live in my life, but I'll try to make a list anyway, in as close to chronological order as possible. )
