A surfeit of strawberries and smegma, oh my!
The Richmond Crew crashed at Eric's for a bit while we waited for him to finish making pasta salad - we got started on some birthday cards. I better remember to take the next batch to the June membership meeting, for sure! We joked around in the car about keg parties, saying "You're my boyfriend!" when K says he loves me next time (I did that just now, to some confusion), BCAA trucks, telling Eric that I loved him since it's one of those things you have to say to a significant other when you end a phone call with them (auto-pilot), and other things. Talked about training, Auntie Beatrice's proper English accent, the funeral tomorrow, the Parisienne, hockey, dinner on Tuesday (I'll see a lot of Pastor John - this past Friday, Sunday to Tuesday!), and more. Got to Jen's, and talked about smegma with Nathan / Jeremy / Jon / Eric - I have NO idea how that was brought up! We figured Chuck would know about the cheesy stringy discharge that's seen in uncircumcised children's foreskins, but this potential doctor didn't - Ivan did, as a general family doctor! Karen showed a distinct lack of listening skills when Auntie Beatrice was offering us coffee or varying kinds of tea (decaf, caffeinated, Earl Grey, chrysanthemum) - filtered water from the sink was NOT on that list, haha! (LISTENING 101, indeed!) Discussed Elaine's church in Hawaii - they have dancing in the aisles of the sanctuary!
Talked about dessert wine, being red, ice wine, vodka / Scotch and high alcohol content being good for storage, wine not good beyond a couple days after you open a bottle, special properties, Jen's sister Alison, Auntie Beatrice's interesting trips, tolerance, personality, Nate taking the fall when the room was silent, surgery, residency, not getting a lot of sleep, sparing Vania's innocence, Vania's cousin Christine getting active in IVCF in Victoria (Eric became a Christian there!), beer, Rail Ale, bitterness, India Pale Ale, hops, Steph's RCMP ambitions, Auntie Beatrice remembering my name and Eric's out of everyone's, Oregon being a forward-thinking city with free public transportation in the downtown core, and other subjects. The dachshund dog Hamlet was walking around, too - he's deaf, and Steph played "hard-to-get" with him. Once she was talking to the dog, and Nathan thought she was talking to Chuck - HAHAHA! It was an alcohol-fueled discussion on smegma based on what Nathan learned in his Biology 11 textbook, hahaha. Auntie Beatrice showed us some pamphlets on sexuality / culture / singleness talks being held at Tenth - it all sounds very interesting, and Jon's Michigan friend Matt is one of the speakers!
Watched the guys play Dutch Blitz, and got Jon to ask a favor of someone who was already washing strawberries. We took carrot cake / Nanaimo Bars / salad / other stuff home - the Irish stew was pretty good, for sure! Nathan had a washroom fiasco when Karen walked in on him as he was washing his hands - she's married, but at least he wasn't doing anything else! That reminded Steph of Moises Alou, who's publicly gone on the record as stating that he pees on his hands before games to make them softer so he can catch balls easier... EWWW! Discussed Dawn and her "maybe" response on the Evite - Auntie Beatrice opines that there's a generation gap with the nuances of "probably," "might," "possibly," and "maybe." (giving a reason, as opposed to "probably" meaning YES - set deadlines before MAYBE becomes a NO!) Sure, you might not treat a business partner like that, but we can do it to our friends for some odd reason! (then there were the politically-themed inscriptions in their guestbook - Jeremy wondered if he HAD to date his comment like everyone else did, haha!)
We talked about cocaine / heroin / speedballs / uppers and downers / crystal meth / a documentary Jeremy had seen about a woman who took differing strains of marijuana over thirty consecutive days. She decided to go back to alcohol as it was more predictable: the varying strains of pot had vastly different effects on her! (being giggly, being paranoid, being totally mellow, etc.) Chuck said that he was very sensitive to caffeine, and more so now as he was older. Jeremy says that he has to cut himself off at noon, otherwise he'll get jittery and can't be productive! One of his drivers may be on the green as he has a LOT of nervous energy, heh - the people I know who have been on it seemed very mellow! Cannabis can be interesting, that's for sure!
Eventually, people got going since they had to work - Jer took the day off, which is good. Auntie Beatrice congratulated me on my engagement - it's unofficial, but liking to talk a lot isn't a bad thing! As Jon was telling his friend on the phone earlier, it's technically not true, but it is in all but name. ("I haven't asked her yet, but...") Then he told us what his friend said: "If you become one of those boring married people whom I only see on Sundays [increasingly bound to happen to couples if they have kids], I'll go over to your house and SACK you!" Talked about epic hockey playoff overtime games (Dallas / San Jose), Dallas' stuff, saunas, white men, music, Sarah Swann's dad being a pastor, Steph's friend Hermia keeping in touch on birthdays only, Jessica Lam, underwear / Fruit of the Loom / Ms. Pellegrin and "cottage cheese in your vagina" (yeast infection description to a Grade 8 kid) / "moves" as "boobs" on the way home. ("I can't control my MOVES [when buzzed]" is NOT boobs! :P)
CRAP - THE RATS ARE BACK HERE AGAIN!
