Some surreal observations from our evening out on Saturday:- a woman at least seventy years old dancing among the college crowd. She danced alone, and she appeared to be sitting alone. She had the figure of a prima ballerina and she danced beautifully. It was difficult to take your eyes off of her.
- two young women with serious big hair, dancing suggestively with drinks in their hands. Did I say suggestively? It looked like they were about to switch into lap-dance mode at any moment. One of them appeared to be pregnant; however it could simply have been what she was wearing. Still, the surreality of it all was too much to bear.
- a young woman with dwarfism who was with two very tall friends. Perhaps from our vantage point up in the balcony, the height difference among the three of them was exaggerated, but, added to the other incidents, it bore retelling.
And now for the piece de resistance....
- as we left the warmth of the building and walked out into the brick wall of frigidity (we're still in the deep-freeze here), we passed a rather dumpy young man bundled up from the cold, speaking into his cell-phone. The phrase we overheard as we passed?
"Yes, but you hurt me too, Mother!"

I think someone spiked your drink.
Katy - I bet Venice Beach is a great place to watch people. Maybe someday I'll get a chance to find out.
Mist - That's exactly what it felt like!
Good heavens!
What a night:) There sure are some interesting people out there, eh??
I could yap more, but I am off to help Princess write out her #$%~*!*!* Valentines. Seems so tedious to me. Is this what you were trying to point out the other day??
*grumble*
I'm with Mist on this one.
=D I missed you.
Lowa - I'm with ya on the valentine issue. We were almost finished, and our stupid dog chewed some of them up, so we have to re-do a whole bunch. Bleccch!
Hippo - Missed you more!
BlondeMom - Hah! What a great idea. If #1 had been with us, that's what he would have wanted to do. He's totally into YouTube right now.
Hi LM,
With all this characters, I think you've just written yourself a theatre play. :-)
Happy Valentine's Day and a big hug.
Ha, you're right, Susan! Feel free to use any of these characters in your play if they fit.
Happy Valentine's Day to you, too!
Happy Valentines Day..
I would stop going out if my evenings were like that, ha,ha..
oh..oh...just spotted my error a day later! How embarassing! :-)
Meant to say, "...with all these characters..." and not otherwise!
Wow! What a night!
It does have the hint of a spiked drink to it, I must say. ;-)

Happy - So great to have you back! And luckily not many our our evenings out are like that.
Susan - You and I have know each other long enough that I knew exactly what you meant to say.
Pissy - You can say that again! ;-)
