squeefulfishLast night was the 21st of one of my classmates, out in the wilds of Clonsilla. Lots of lovely people in various costumes, lots of corsets and fishnets, a few sets of very discrete devil's horns (it being a devils and angels theme) and a few sets of wings. I was somewhat uncharitable at the start of the night and may have mentioned that I wasn't exactly swimming in the deep end of the gene pool, but then when your night starts off with having to explain who Lucifer is that's a not entirely unjustifiable reaction.
The music was unfortunately far too loud to have any sort of conversation over and the venue was hot. Very very hot. Me wearing my cheap ass polyester suit and refusing to even loosen my tie for most of the evening probably didn't help matters. A number of vodka and cokes later I gave up and went for the "just enough buttons closed to be vaguely decent" look, which I repeated today on the way home. I think I got more stares today, but more comments yesterday because obviously girl wearing a tie is just too OMGful not to pass remark. Rather happily stayed at the "merry verging on tipsy but can pull self back anytime" stage of alcohol consumption, which made it much easier to play up my flirt blindness.
And then everyone got home safely, eventually, and I grabbed three hours sleep before heading to the airport to say a quick hello to two lovely, if tired, travellers, though I sulked too much at not being able to get breakfast Guinness. Collapsed on my bed an hour ago, might get another hour's kip before the kids come down with Martha's duck that I've to figure out how to cook later.
