justhuman's where a MOST spiffy weekend was had. I managed to make it to her house in spite of going down completely the wrong highway at one point and - and this is the important part - due to me being what amounts to a GUY because I would not stop and ask for directions because BY GOD THAT WOULD MEAN ADMITTING I WAS WRONG.
Can't have that.
So basically did a side trip to Ikea, where I can assure you JH does not live, righted myself, and kept on going.
JH did the monumental task of teaching me how to sew. At this she was incredibly patient, informative, helpful, and did not mock me once for what were undoubtedly thousands of stupid questions on my part. By the time I left her house I actually felt excited about the process and wanting to practice and do more. This is, of course, a vast change from my previous feelings about my sewing machine and sewing as a concept, where I was very certain one or both of them was going to eat me.
We also did fannish things such as watch some DVDs of Joss and Tim giving talks, rewatching the finale of House which I think I need to see approximately one billion times to fully appreciate all the layers and symbolism (note: I say that as a compliment), and watching X3 which I utterly adored both as a movie and because Rogue (aka Willow's roommate over in FH) and Jamie Madrox were in it and while the first was obvious the second was a happy surprise and I squeed like a squeeing thing.
My one weetiny complaint about the movie is for the love of BEER AND SKITTLES Kitty would you CLOSE YOUR MOUTH?? GAH! I'll grant that Kitty Pryde has never been my favorite X-character, and I'll also grant that it was cool watching her go up against Juggernaut, but KEE-RIST the girl is supposed to be smart! Even I know that and the few brain cells I have devoted to knowledge about Kitty Pryde are largely devoted to how FRIKKIN HARD it is to kill her, especially if you're a vampire.
But one thing I do know is that she's supposed to have something resembling a brain in her head and as a memo from me to the actress and/or director you do not convey that by having her jaw open all the time like she's waiting for somebody to put a quarter in. Drove me NUTS.
But the rest of the movie was awesome and I loved it like a loving thing.
Now to sit back, relax, and assure my cats that I still love them even though I oh so cruelly abandonded them for two days.
