Some sleep will take care of it, hep. Hopefully tonight.

Oh, LG! Do you need a hankie?

It doesn't help matters that I am FROM New York and my sister still lives there.

Of course, if I lived there, it wouldn't be like spending time in "Dreamland." Maybe it's better NOT to live there.

I'M SO CONFLICTED!

I totally understand, Miss P. I feel the same way when I go to DC... I want to move back to be close to my sister and all the activities and energy...

And then, DD, you remember that you have to deal with and live among the politcos and it makes you go, "I think I'll just stay here." Right?

(DC is a beautiful city though.)

That and I remember the summers, where as someone put it in another thread about another city, you have to swim to work.

Then I look out the window here... mountains, water, blue skies, great summers...

I loved DC when I lived there, though. I miss it every time I go.

I guess it's a really good thing to go to where you're from and then miss it when you're gone. It would be sad to feel resentment and bitterness about the place you call "home," you know?

[DayDreamer]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 5:58pm

I still consider DC home. And I've lived in Seattle longer than I lived in DC. Go figure!

New York City is the only place I really feel is "home" to me...no matter where I've lived and no matter for how long. (I haven't lived in NYC since 1990, BTW.)

Wow... I thought you had just recently left the city.

My dream is to live in New York. It's up there in my future plans. It's just making it happen that's proving tricky.

Okay, Undi, I'm bi.

With very exceptions, those drag queens were not inspiring lust in me. I'm sure they looked much better as the evening began, but by 2:00 AM, they were all sagging a bit. (The blonde in the indigo dress--the one sitting right next to the image of Gwen Verdon on the wall--was very pretty though. Remember?

Hi Penny!

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 6:31pm

Rathy! How ARE you? I can't believe I saw you guys only 3 days ago...it seems like weeks!

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 6:32pm

I'm fine, sweetie, how are you?

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 6:35pm

The dresses were all outstanding. No argument there!

How am I? Fatigued and melancholy mostly.

Am I cheering you up?

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 6:39pm

Melancholy? Oh dear. Can I help?

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 6:51pm

Well, I'm melancholy because I just left "home" (i.e., NYC) and all my friends to come back to...WORK!!! And since I was gone for a week, there's a lot of catching up to do.

I guess it didn't actually help that the last show I saw was The Drowsy Chaperone because I was hysterical for the whole show. It's like I'm going through post-partum depression or drug withdrawal (both of which I can only imagine because I have never been through either.)

So make me laugh! That'll help!!!!

Posted: 4/5/06 at 6:52pm

On cue???? Who do you think I am??

[DayDreamer]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 7:03pm

You are now laughing...

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 7:07pm

Rath, dearest, think of this as "rehearsal."

DD, Thanks! That did put a huge grin on my face. I am such a cheap date.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 7:10pm

Here you go, sunshine.

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 7:17pm

Am I THAT transparent, Rath?

Between DD's "mesmerizing cat" and this PARADE of "happy drinks," how could I be despondent?

Thank you, guys! If only life were always this easy...!

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 7:20pm

You are, a little.

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 4/5/06 at 7:23pm

Did you know that hardly drink alcohol at all? (I just have one of those personalities that always seems "intoxicated." Or maybe it's just that I drank so much when I was young that there's still a lot of booze running through my veins. LOL.)
