I've been hanging out at UMass with Amethystmoon, Tashari and crew for the past few days. It's so good to be able to hang out in Amherst, as it always feels as though my best friends are here. Plus - it's just fun to play with Sarah C.'s (Tashari's housemate) cats :-)

Amethystmoon made Tashari, Tetron, and me breakfast the other day; today, Sarah C. made Amethystmoon and me breakfast. Friends who enjoy cooking rule. Especially when they enjoy cooking with someone else - Amethystmoon and I made some very tasty cookies the yesterday for one of her parties. These are the reasons I keep escaping from my dad's appt. - I need people, especially those with whom I can relate.

Amethystmoon's party on Saturday was awesome. It reminded me of my weekly "Friday night gatherings" that took place senior year of highschool, except with the addition of a bit of alcohol. There were lots of people, all geeky in some manner, both outgoing and somber. Everyone having a good time, playing on computers, video games, card games, or just chatting. Most parties hosted by Tashari or Amethystmoon are this way, which is good. We as a collective need to make sure these kinds of parties are held over the summer, so people don't lose touch.

Earlier that Saturday, Freya and I met up in Northampton and picked up the pottery we painted before. It was good to see her before she ran off to France (...lucky people who can make it to Europe *grumbleJulie,b1o,Freyagrumble*). Her tea kettle turned out nicely, and my mug turned out OK, though a bit rough around the edges. Some day I'll learn to paint better; someday I'll learn how to draw a straight line without a ruler :-)
