which_chickBack from the Ben function, which was a rousing success. All of the brownies got all eaten up and everybody that I brought specialty items for showed up to take home their specialty items. Huzzah! I'm sorry that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ksleet didn't make it due to being chained to his desk for work purposes by his obviously insane workplace bent on world domination or whatever and I was hoping to see sara_merry99 but she couldn't make it either. Hopefully there was no chaining at her work -- I wouldn't want to think there was an epidemic of that sort of thing going around. Real life should not mimic Jade's Bad Porn Series (a piece of writing which got a mention at the function).
I have also been buried in a stack of Lois McMaster Bujold novels from sundry sources... so there will be reading material for me for a while. That's always a bonus. I also managed to get a number of rounds done on the eyestrain purple socks which are really getting close to the exciting ankle part. (Excitement is relative.) I remain optimistic about being able to get these finished in time for MD Sheep & Wool. (This is so that I can wear my nice hand-knit socks while shopping for more yarn and sticks to make more socks with. No, I don't know why this looms important in my mind, but for some reason it does.)
Also Ben gifted me with some Korean Death Spices from Good Korea. They're for pork. Ben spent the last year and change in Good Korea teaching English to Korean schoolchildren with more or less success. Apparently the kancho thing (that's what they call it in Japan) is popular in Korea too. (Wikipedia has an entry.) Truly, it is a different world over there. Anyway, Ben gifted the children who attempted the Korean version of kancho on him with swirlies. The kancho discussion, which mostly took place while I was not in the room, precipitated the following exchange that illustrated my rather unique view of the world to all and sundry:
Ben: Hey Jess, what would you do if somebody stuck their fingers up your ass?
Me: It depends. Can you tell me a little more about the circumstances?
*sigh*
Look. It's NOT that I'm defective. I am not defective. If I walk into a room and you ask me that question cold, I'm going to need more to go on in order to give you an answer. The way the question was asked, it was not immediately clear to me that this was sort of a Surprise! thing. Honestly. Nobody would like that as a surprise.
