I am way too excited that today I am going to take charity items to charity and semi-hazardous items to the county drop-off. I get to play with the new computer.

Last day's party was really neat. Conversation was smarticle, yet vulgar and insane. Talked to a guy who is doing a PhD on ... well porn, basically. So the girl with the PhD in Madonna has a friend with a PhD in porn. Christie did this really cool mojito - made with mint leaves from the back yard.

The party was kid friendly, had like 8 of them - which continued my spiral of kid-based mental exploration. How can I think about kids if I don't really know kids or what they're like? I was talking to a 14 year old yesterday (nofca's lil sis, not so much the 7-9 year olds, who were quite entertaining) and realized...she was in a very different mental area than myself. That may sound like a duh to those of you who have exposure to kids, but I'm in a state where I just recently realized that I had age-adjusted my memories. Those kids I smoked pot with, got drunk with, fucked and fought with at 13-16 in my mind act and honestly look like they're in their 20s. Yesterday I was realizing I've age adjusted my memories so ... well I think having to spend multiple days with teenagers would SUCK for me. Talk to them, like them, try to give them guidance, take some amusement in their perspective and remembering I was like that once too - fine. But for how many hours? My biggest recurrent fantasy was to take my knowledge as I have it today and put it in my head as a child...now with more exposure to kids recently I think that could be a nightmare of boredom. On the more amusing side of kid-thought I got his angry-baby-head-ball which if you slam it on a hard object, starts making baby-crying noises...

The party was oddly full of PhDs and lawyers. You wouldn't know it from looking at them. The weirdest thing was running in to Jhonna, yes that one from Roxy days. Like fuckall everyone, she's married now (been shacked up for years too). I totally didn't recognize her at all, as she wasn't wearing long flowing black neglige. Worse, she just graduated GMU law in 2007...and I never saw her, not once, during the 3 years she was there at the same time as me. Granted, she was day section while I was night. However, after not recognizing her in normal clothes on the porch of a friend's house it really isn't surprising I wouldn't see her or recognize her if I did. A lot of old Roxy peeps are lawyers - it's downright creepy.
