Much fun last night!
While Prairie stayed home to sleep (and sleep, and sleep) after finally finishing off a two-week-straight stint of work, I headed out to Captiol Hill for eckstacie‘s birthday party. Got to her apartment around 6:30-ish or so, met up with some people I’d already met (surviving_moth, oblique_ref, sgtjesse, spookygrrrly) and some I’d not met before (art_geek, dyslexia, and others whose names I’ve spaced on and whose LJ accounts I didn’t snag, if they have such), and had a very pleasant evening sitting around, talking, and generally being silly.
As the evening wore on, we moved the party down to the_vogue, losing a few people along the way until it was just myself, Sam, April, Elizabeth, and Ellen — “Four girls and a man in a skirt!” We snagged a spot by the couch near the sound booth, and I bounced over to say hi to gracesine and rainfromheaven. On the way to the club I’d called xementio to let her know that we were on the way, and she showed up a while later, so I got to introduce her around and show her the Vogue for the first time (yay for new Alaska transplants!).
Later on Kris, Suzanne, and Noreen showed up, and then Jillian (who I’d met and flirted with a bit months ago) and her boyfriend (er…Chris?). I actually got to be a social butterfly last night, bouncing around with all the people I knew there! I haven’t really been able to do that since I left Alaska, but my social circles are finally expanding enough to allow me to do so…quite a lot of fun (“You’re such a flirt!” Melissa said at one point).
Eventually, of course, I had to wander on — due both to having to work this morning and promising Prairie that I wouldn’t stay out too late — and so I made my goodbyes, came home, and fell into bed.
All in all…not bad. And one last Happy Birthday to Sam! Yay birthdays!
