>The Junebug is 22 Part II

Ah, I'm so tired and a little bit drunk, but I had a good Juney birthnight at the science and law geek party. I can't say I talked to any law students, even though I had my eye on this one guy in double denim who was hotter than heck, but I did talk to some interesting science people. For most of the night I was in "transparent eyeball" mode, which is when I am feeling good with drink but mainly observing rather than participating. Nevertheless, feelings were good, and during this period I found that an interesting place to be around the lads was near the keg. I also learned about the workings of a keg tonight (the effort of typing correctly right now is so strenuous). I spent most of my time talking to Juney and her friend Emi who is visiting us this weekend.

But! At one point in the party, when it was getting late, I found myself talking to this Dutch guy who made me guess where he was from and kept touching my back, til I removed his hand from me but he didn't care. I explained my accurate life story to him 100 times, but he wasn't paying attention or something, because he was convinced that I was from Germany and that I was a PhD student, so I eventually just went along with that. I kept trying to get away from this guy, and eventually was talking to Jelly Boy (the Croatian, remember I told you?) and quite enjoying myself, talking about alcoholism and the scientific method and generally bullshitting, and suddenly I found myself gathering men like a moth to a flame. Well, OK, it was getting late and the party was thinning out, but nevertheless I had a crowd of FOUR LADS around me, including Jelly Boy and the Dutchman, as well as a very enjoyable boy called...oh, let's say Tom. Tom was chatting me up!!! He even tried to save me from the touchie Dutchie at one point, after I had explained that I was indeed not German, but in fact from Connecticut. It was a nice change from the menfolk not buying my particular brand of sexy idiocy to have all the lads clamoring about me. How it came about I have no idea, but beer goggles or not, I had no trouble being in the epicenter of that scrum, mm hmm, cause it was scrumtious. Ah, Tommy.

In other Juney birthday news, I made the Thai red curry tonight, and it was really good! Hooray for me. Chocolate shoofly pie, which I purchased from an Amish boy in a straw hat, was also delightful. Between the three of us, we finished a bottle of red wine, then headed out to drink beer at the party.

Also, Juney Birthday Mystery #1 was solved today. We invited Landlady Ellie up to have dinner with us, but she already had dinner plans with a friend because YESTERDAY WAS HER BIRTHDAY. Hence the mysterious birthday banner. Get it? I'm too drunk to have paced that sentence right, but it was quite the revelation, proving that I am not crazy.

And I changed my template this afternoon for no good reason. I hope it continues working and that it still seems like me even without the blue keyboard design, which I'm sure I'll ressurect soon.

In conclusion, boys like me, I didn't drink too much, I am a wonderful cook, and everything is going my way. And I'm from Berlin, apparently.
