I went to Dobromir's bachelor party on Saturday (it made sense for me to be there - there were about twice as many girls as guys). We "sat around and watched porn." The groom got very drunk, and "his grandfather was there." The "plot" of the "porn movie" might have involved a bartender giving a groom a tequila body shot and perhaps lots of dancing at a place called the Buddha Bar. It may have also involved chains and bowling balls, but I don't really remember much beyond that. It was a great "porno flick", and I met lots of nice and fun people. There was Bon Jovi, too, so you know that makes it an automatically good night.

I personally will now no longer have peppermint schnapps in anything other than hot chocolate. Taste of toothpaste + (Jager || other hard alcohol) = bad. In this case, a liquid cocaine shot almost did me in, but I persevered and woke up in the morning with a hang over predominantly from not sleeping enough (and not the alcohol). In order to counteract this, I then stayed in bed until about 530pm, at which point, I took a shower (coz, damn...) and went to play world of warcraft, where I got really distracted by backstory writing and didn't contribute much. It kind of makes me sad, because I love my character, but she has no idea what the hell she's supposed to be doing and is now in the Twisting Nether, looking for an old friend.

And today, I've gone to brunch & eaten pancakes, had a corset fitting, and am now at home, debating on the wisdom of things like cleaning my apartment, going to borders and buying season 5 of Buffy, getting food, visiting the grocery store, reading a book, or watching Star Wars (IV-VI) or Rome (season 1).

It is not a bad day to be me.

Man, sounds like a crazy bachelorette weekend. What's with the quotes in the first paragraph?

[shadowyvern.livejournal.com]

What, don't you put quotes around "fiction" that happens in "movies?"

[liberateanimum.livejournal.com]

I, uh... no. No, I don't. I've never done that. I don't think most people do. I guess I didn't get the reference, then. What movie is she alluding to?

[prismakaos.livejournal.com]

It's equivalent to saying something like:

So me and this really hot guy who I had been dancing with all night went back to my apartment, where we sat around and "talked."

"Talked" in this case is in quotes, and thus implies that perhaps I didn't *actually* talk with the guy, but may have done something else. In the case of this bachelor party, the text says that we did nothing but sit around and watch porn. The implication is that in fact, this isn't true, and we actually went out and did things.

Hmm. I get what you're saying, but I guess I didn't see it that way. O'course it could be just me, but I think you used too many quotation marks for me to think you were simply using innuendo.

Mike suggested that you parodying a movie though? Was there some party movie where there's a bachelor party and everyone watches porn and a grandfather is present? (Or maybe it was a porno movie about a bad bachelor party?)

I think Mike's statement should have been interpreted such that "fiction" = real events and "movies" = real life. Thus: What, don't you put quotes around "fiction" that happens in "movies?" should be read as What, don't you put [intentionally awkward] quotes around real events that happen in real life? ie, don't you sometimes disguise what you're saying by enclosing clearly fictious things in quotes?

BACHELOR. Not bachelorETTE.

[liberateanimum.livejournal.com]

No, I meant you, not the kind of party you went to. Like, you went out and had the kind of fun that a bachlorette with no chains could go out and have.

were you going to include a translation for the phrases in quotation marks? :p i gotta agree with you on the peppermint schnapps part.

ooh, show us the corset!

I just bought Buffy Season 5 this very morning. I have nothing else of value to say.

[prismakaos.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It was really fun finding pictures of Giles drinking tea. Strangely, there were a lot to choose from...
