#fangirl weekend

Fangirl vacation: excellent so far! Saturday evening I had dinner with polarisnorth, everysecondtuesday, the_wanlorn, oliviacirce, and reflectedeve; there was much sharing of fannish history and yelling about Kink Bingo in public spaces. I really, really love having dinner with fangirls.

Yesterday I wandered about with anekdot, and also had brunch with littledust and her roommate J. Somehow over the course of brunch, which was rife with X-Men talk, we invented the drink version of the Pieta on the Beach. It is made like so:

Pieta on the Beach
White rum (to represent Cuba)
Muddled strawberries (to represent Charles -- littledust says it is to represent his blood, but mostly it is because he has an adorable blush)
Champagne float (to represent, according to J, the happy times gone by, drifting away in a sea of bubbles)
Simple syrup (to represent ... something in this drink besides alcohol)
Edible ball bearing (to represent THE BULLET)
Ground-up edible ball bearings (to rim the glass)

Drink until you can't feel your legs.

ANYWAY I AM HAVING A BRILLIANT WEEK.
