Big surprise for some people!

alludes to it, but I think we want people in suspense first.

so post here or there saying “What is it??!?!!” already and support our need for external validation. 😀

1. Jasmine
2. Lavender
3. Any Citrus (especially. Limes, Lemons)

Name four random facts about yourself:
1. I adore semantics

4. Corrallary to 2: my favourite way to annoy people is to dicreetly mock those who “Take things too seriously”

Name four random facts about your family:

2. All my extended family is in Wisconsin, and we do not speak.
3. I am most likely one of the only members to have the ability to carry on my Surname of “Hermann” — almost no boys in my extended family.
4. I know close to nothing about my family history.

So I got lazy and made photoshop do the work. Sue me.
Here’s the party pics!

Back at work. Blah.

The party was a huge success, a fun time was had by all, and there wasn’t even a huge mess – most people were quite kind with their trash and bottles.

I have a digicamera with some shots on it that I’ll make a gallery from and post the link to soon.

I missed KyleKyle and Britefox and Pat, though!

You’ll want to tune in, because you never know what may appear!

Well, it’s about t-4.5 hours till the party starts.
We have a webcam set up for all of you who cannot join us in person. To view it, get yahoo messenger, add “elenadan” as a friend, then select elenadan and (option | right | control | whatever) click it and select “view webcam”.
wee!
Right now it centered on our tiki statue.
fun!

Back at work, very very tired.

Pride was a blast, but left me feeling empty — I think I’ll do a touching, personal post on that later this week, but I currently have no time to wallow!

Met Sir Ian as reported, saw Marc Almond and Dead or Alive in concert, watched the parade. Fun.

Work missed me, so I suppose that is a good thing 😉

Did anyone miss me? 😀 😀
