(no subject)

 My best friend came to visit me over the weekend!  We hadn't seen each other in over two years, so it was great to be able to spend some time hanging out and catching up.  She was here for four days, and I think we were both pretty worn out by the end of it.  We did get to fit in old traditions like hanging out in a bookstore searching for the best word:cost ratio and hanging out watching a movie and drinking beer.  I missed those times.

We put purple streaks in her hair, and I decided (at the last minute) that I wanted to do something drastic instead of doing streaks again (I did them three years ago and really liked them... but I wanted to do something different this time).
I think we both turned out really well! (I just realized I don't have any good pictures of her completed streaks!)





I took her to a party Friday night with our typical Friday night/Earthdawn friends, and she didn't kill them! It was a miracle.
I find it funny that it's possible to be friends with people with such varied personalities that there is little to no chance of all of one person's friends liking each other.
The party was fun, though. Much vodka was consumed.



We went to the Detroit Zoo on Saturday, along with Jim, and wandered around for a couple hours. It's a small zoo, but they had some fun stuff.  As always, the giraffes were my favorite.



In other news, I finished Melusine!  And dyed it!
It's smaller than anticipated, and the colors are darker and less obviously placed in a scale-type pattern, but I really like it.

There is a possibility someone on Ravelry will buy it, or at least give me more yarn in exchange for it, so that's pretty awesome. I mean, it's not like I needed another shawl for myself. :-P
