Well that went drunk well.

UPDATE: ZZ’s fine. Thank you all so much for not only supporting me but my dog too. You guys are the best. Anypoop, she had food bloat (BEEN THERE) and now she’s all sleepy from the binging and purging. I blame her father and the way he withholds love from her when she gains a couple of pounds.

It was fine! It was just fine! After all my bellyaching and my fussiness about my hair being too hot around my face and I forgot a rubber band and Alison loaned me hers and then Megan loaned me hers too so I stuck Alison’s rubber band in the pocket of my dress and forgot where it was and now she probably thinks I’m a rubber band thief.

Which I am.

But it was fine! Alison told a really funny story about going to France and breaking up with a chubby guy back home via email because, hey, it’s France and everyone rides bikes while smoking and drinking red wine and that is HOTTT.

And other people told other stories that I pretended to listen to but really I was just managing my mild panic attack and FINALLY was ushered across the street by my best friend Sy Parrish to a nice bathroom with mirrors and water with which to wash down my klonopin.

CRAP. More later….we have to take ZZ to the emergency room. She ate a plastic bag this morning. Hang on internet.

I’m glad that went well for you. Did the venue comp you any drinks? That’s the only reason to do anything; free booze.

It was great! At least what I saw on Melissa’s blog. I hope ZZ’s okay.

God, I hope ZZ is okay. I felt a little like I swallowed a plastic bag last night. Still do.

Kiala! It was great to meet you last night at the Back Fence event - primarily to finally realize that in my head I’ve been pronouncing your name with an extra syllable. How embarrassing for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed your tale of kinky zoo animal love and am so thrilled to find another person that was equally as peer-pressured by the Sweet Valley High books. Cocaine kills, people!

You went with the babydoll dress!

And didn’t I say to put your hair up?

I would like to take full credit for how fabulous you looked because I suggested the outfit. Or maybe it was what you were planning anyway, but I must find a way to make your smashing success all about me.

So there.

I did.

And ZZ will be okay. That plastic bag will just fly right on through her.

Alice eats stuff like that all the time and she’s just fine.

I thought it went well. You looked and sounded great! Thanks be to Melissa for putting it up on her blog. I was too sick to attend. Hope ZZ is okay!

I forget if I told you this or if we’ve talked about it already (thanks, whiskey!), but Regina Morrow was totally a factor in why I didn’t try cocaine until I was 22 or so. One line! And she DIED! And she was so pretty on the cover.

You looked very cute! And I loved your story. It sounds like it went very well.

10 Nels { 06.20.08 at 1:05 pm }

So now we need the dirty laundry! What kind of shenanigans went on back stage? Any cat fights?!?

11 kiala { 06.20.08 at 1:57 pm }

I did put my hair up, Kristen! But I had a blemish on my um, boob area for some goddamn reason. So I covered it with my hair. Thank you for your advice. :)

Alison - it’s like we’re the same person, but with entirely different faces.

Thank you everyone else and oh! it was so nice to meet you Aisha! (Did I spell that right?) Thank you for coming!

Kiala -
Did you quit Kath?

13 kiala { 06.20.08 at 2:33 pm }

Oh yeah…maybe a little. Too much obsessing about food. But I’m still here!

14 Robert { 06.20.08 at 3:51 pm }

I saw you on the internet! I saw a video of you on the internet!!!! (great job)

I ate a plastic bag once. Like, 4 minutes ago. Just trying to keep that weight down.

15 KevinS { 06.20.08 at 8:21 pm }

You did really well. It was such a heartwarming story about going to the zoo and the joys of Coke.

16 melissa lion { 06.20.08 at 8:52 pm }

Nels: Well, after we stuck our fingers down our throats, and put vaseline on our teeth (makes you smile better) we then put pepper spray in each other’s clothes so we’d be in pain up on stage. It was all in good fun.

17 Charley { 06.21.08 at 1:31 am }

Glad the dog’s ok, and awesome story. The things I learn on the internet…

18 Jessica { 06.21.08 at 1:14 pm }

I am such a prolific rubber band thief… And the accidental booty is all stored up in a drawer. I guess I’m hoping I’ll regain the memory and return them all someday.

19 chandra { 06.21.08 at 2:46 pm }

LOVE the video!! You are such a doll, and you’re funny and I totally want to hang out with you but I can’t because I don’t live there and I’m shy in real life and I would probably just sit there holding a drink not knowing what to say. But I could maybe chug a few drinks… drinking makes people comfortable, right? I have no idea where I’m going with this I make no sense sometimes.

On another note, I cannot check your blog at my work anymore which makes me sad. :(
