christa asked "when was the last time *you* felt real joy?" i say...last saturday. splendid time at the b&s pic-ee-nic at rock creek park. then laini and i jumped over to see this amazing band longwave [my third time] at the velvet lounge [the epitome of the word 'dive'] and then to the mousetrap! belle & sebastian were played at least three times! and what fun it was. i met up with a sinister boy who i had apparently met a few times before. and i had completely forgot. now i remember a little. i think that is the number one reason i don't drink the alcohol! 'cos my memory is already rotten and i'd rememember even less if i drank! ha! okay pertinent information about make-out party will follow, but i am also going to add that the wonderfully entertaining steve[walkn10]'s band, callow, have been asked to play the next make-out party; just in case you can't come to this one. sure it's before the cure, but the cure is at night and make-out party takes place during the day! woo! voyeurism hoy! evol, maddy!
