Oasis

I cannot fully describe to you how wonderful it is to have a group of friends where we can tell incoherent, rambling stories, or stories of embarrassing things we have done in the past, and then we all collectively feel better about ourselves because we are awesome. I actually think this process has to do with the idea of personal narratives that I have talked about before. It's very nice to write out such stories in the dark chasm of the blogosphere, but it's even nicer to tell them in person (even if in the process I get really mixed up about people and declare that certain persons are more interesting than they claim to be).

Oh, and to have friends whose idea of a great time is going out in the back yard to scrounge around on all fours looking for jumping spiders. I cannot think of a more splendid way to spend Sunday afternoon.

trifold_flame and I also tried out the cupcake stencils for the second time and had decent success. Unfortunately, my camera is in the lab for taking pictures of leafcutter ants, so I cannot post any new cupcake photos until tomorrow at the earliest. So sad.

And that is all.
