Face to face time with the marvelous and talented ladies of First Draft!
Scout!
Athenae! (with the honorable statesman from Louisiana)
The reunion of Athenae and Maitri at the wedding of a mutual friend was priceless. Dinner was over, cake had just been served and I placed my camera and purse in a chair before getting down on the dance floor to the Hometown Sweethearts. Eyes focusing in the freshly-dimmed lights, I noticed a familiar, solitary figure standing by the entrance to the reception hall (also conveniently where the bar was located). One of these things is not like the other … process process … she told me she wasn’t coming … process process … but that’s totally her. And I was off, sprinting in my heels, “Atheeeeeenaeeeeee!” Initially a blogger caught in headlights, Athenae jerked her head up with a WhoWha? look on her face, and then came the smile of recognition. The rest was all Hug OMG Hug Squeeee Hug HandSwat HandSwat OhYouLookSoGoodInThatOutfit Hug!!!!!!1!! Almost immediately after that came the Politics Sucks, Madison Rocks, Babylon 5 Was The Best, Who The Frak Is The Last Cylon and We’re Tired But Let’s Dance Like Olive To Superfreak In Little Miss Sunshine Anyway discussion among A, Mr. A, D and me. I love my friends.
