Happy freakin' solstice, everybody

[triadruid]

So after some slight confusion involving such foreign concepts as "bedtime" and "wake time", a bunch of us suckers got up this morning at Ergh:22 and tromped over to the football field by the TCP to watch the Solstice Sun come up. The Beatles were invoked and everybody got to see the sun peek through for the 3 minutes it was up before it disappeared behind the cloud cover. So yay! Disaster averted for another year through due diligence. agrnmn now knows we love him because we'll participate in his stupid morning-person ceremonies.

However, I will say that the breakfast casserole afterward was tasty, even if we couldn't cajole him into chocolate chip pancakes. Princess Boredom and I may put an interesting surprise in his shoes before work on Saturday, we'll see.


After much ughs, bundling, trudging, viewing, trudging, unbundling, a small cocoa volcano, minor gift-giving, and Warhammer 40k (don't ask... well, don't ask *me*), I'm at work and tromping away at the usual. See some of you tonight for the inaugural Wild Hare protogrove Yule ritual at SMUUCH, to the rest: Have fun, stay warm, and kiss somebody, under mistletoe if you can manage it.

Hey, I'm a druid. What did you *expect* me to say?? Besides, it was apparently a sex symbol for those sexy druids and vikings. Me, I just thought it prevented lighting strikes, although I suppose the Celts and Norse were... well, furry enough that they might have caused a static-sparked fire during their lovemaking. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Did someone Say, Sexy Viking!!? *Drummel points out his Norse bloodline* I'll be attending tonights ritual, wouldn't be right to let the Druids get all the loving.

sounds like a splendid way to mark the day...much better than my crackpotted idea last Summer Solstice to stay up for 24 hours....(its a long story involving crepes). Is Warhammer 40K freaking everywhere now? My housemate is throwing regular game playing fests...you should talk to Roger and come join the boy posse at the House of Payne...

hope the rest of the solstice was lovely for your druid-ness...

Actually, it was R's game. He'd brought the 'puter over for the Solstice Sleepover last night and got Princess Boredom hooked. What a prince.

Nah, it's not my WH40K, just saw it on R's computer... I'll be happy personally if I can get my computer running NWN and Diablo II next month, after the holiday rush dies down.

Hope your day is going well..see you...when I see you...
