I was at the restaurant. I was done with work. I saw the way you couldn't even see the other side of the street through the rain, and then I thought about how my home is in every possible way a better place to be than the restaurant, and decided I didn't want to wait for the rain to stop.

By the time I'd walked the block to the gas station, I was soaked to the skin. Over the last 1/2 block to my house, I was giggling and stomping my way through all the puddles. I reasoned there wasn't anything I could do to get any wetter, so what the hell. I felt like I was about 8 years old. It was the perfect stress reliever after a crazy busy day at work.

Tash was over last night. She's been in Florida since graduation. She and her lifemate, Katie, wanted to finally collect some stuff that had been in a storage locker in Tasha's hometown for the past six years. Since they had driven all the way to Wisconsin, they decided to make a grand adventure out of it, and visit all the people Tash hadn't seen in forever. They didn't get to town till 9ish, and I absolutely had to be in bed by midnight, but it was so great to even see her that much.

She and Katie are apparently even more into the Sims than I am. Scary. She had her laptop along, so she showed me all the crazy stuff Katie had found online. Mmmm. Summon Technology. Yes, I think you DO want to come over. Yes. Right now. Hee hee hee.

Tash also plays with the BuildASim program a lot more than I ever did. She has one whole neighborhood of Taus. A lot of the Sim Taus were close enough that I could recognise them without even seeing the names, and Sim Jake looks exactly like Jake. Cool. All the couples live together (D and I get to live in the wacky floating house! Rawk!) and everyone else lives in a family called The Gamers, which amused me muchly. Oh, and Sim Daven and Sim Edie are apparently married. Teehee.

Tash also brought me a boxful of books. Those of you who have faithfully committed all of my adventures thus far to memory already know why that's funny. If you haven't, I forgive you, but travel back in time with me to here, here,, here, and finally here. Oh, and ignore the part about how you don't recognise any of the names. I'm feeling much better now, honest.
