minutes. monday. july 11, 2005.
never known for my timeliness, i belatedly offer you this....
(to be read in addition to beth's notes)
here's what i started writing on paper the following day....
last night's nhwc meeting dissolved into ravenous eating, occassional wine sipping, ridiculous and oft-times obscene conversation, and an accidental nature adventure. it seems steveross is our anchor, further proven by the fact that he is the only one who wrote anything. without him, we are just some girls hanging out under the guise of being an essential part of the literati. sometimes we use big words and this justifies us.
we met a number of insanely cure creatures - bam'ba, the tiny orange kitten with concern-inspiring eyes and an excellent demeanor (his pending name was zorro, and part of our mission going there was to give him a proper moniker); the cat the blended in with the frond-yard flora in which it lounged; zipper, the friendly family cat (who i immediately insisted on referring to as "zips"); and the giant beetle (that is apparently named leon, though i kept referring to him as "bugaboo" during the transport. i was on a role with awful names) who sat on the beth's garbage-rescued plate (that makes it sound the garbage rescued it, doesn't it? some writer i am) to be brought away from the curious paws of zips. i have yet to determine what sort of beetle mr. leon bugaboo is. i could not locate his kind in the book i looked in today.
hmmm....that was rather repetitious. how annoyingly self-centered of me to insist on posting my own notes. oh well.
two additional moments:
*while beth lamented trying to tell someone a story they've already read about in her blog, siri says, "that's why in conversation you say, 'refer to my blog.'"
*"i can't date a boy who's allergic to cats" - sarah
"yeah, there's no future there" - siri
(this was recorded by siri in order to reassure me that i, too, contributed funny moments to our meetings after i told her she had the most funny moments in the minutes. however, while this was funny at the time, it does not seem very amusing now, plus it is not funny without siri's comment. thus proving my point that she reigns supreme in nhwc comedy)
i think i ought to resign.

Why are you so sexist against those of us with allergies? It's just as well because I don't date booknerds.
my booknerd heart just broke into a thousand little papercutted pieces.
also, sally, those minutes rocked. never ever contemplate resignation. much like the scientologists, we will never let you leave. ever. questionably legal means will be used to keep you in the fold. nhwc forever!
siri is the official nhwc tune-up fairy. she fixes all those little html obstacles i cannot surmount by my lonesome. (translation: thanks for putting in the link to beth's minutes)
I once wrote a story about a lady in love with a man who was allergic to cats. and she had a lot of cats. a problem of the ages, really. and I concur with steve ross about not dating booknerds. that is my new rule: 1. talented 2. not in what I am talented in. I am really caffinated on my french press. sweating bullets, spazzy. and sally, you should always write minutes.
