Yesterday was a big, big day. At 3:30 in the morning (adjusted
for EST, so it felt like 4:30), I stood on the back porch and said to
The Boyf that it felt like it had been a long, long day – that, in
fact, that morning felt like it had been the morning of three days
previous, and I’d been awake the whole time.
But hot damn, was it worth it. First there was the unbelievably beautiful marriage of Katastrophes and Mr. Pink Eyes.
The sun came out, the little league football game ended, and under an
unseasonably warm, clear sky we watched two people we love dearly get
married in fine fashion. One tear-filled ceremony later, they
were wed. When the officiant presented them as a married couple,
I later told The Boyf,
it was something I could feel – it was done, a ripple had passed over
the crowd, and we’d all seen magic happen. How often do you get
that in life? There’s always that moment in a wedding when all of
a sudden you realize that history just turned a page, when the Earth
has unmistakably turned, and it’s magnificent.
It was also hella fun to be in the Bride’s Posse. 
And after that? The only way to celebrate, naturally, was Kath & Bascha’s
renowned Halloween party, something more akin to an explosion of horror
and joy – tons of fantastic food, a yard turned into something to give
nightmares to Romero and dozens of friends. I took away the “Most
Obscure/Geeky Reference” prize for my rendition of Leon from Resident
Evil 2 – a tie with Trish, who came as a runaway zombie process
(priceless!) and had an absolute blast. There was karaoke.
There were homemade crab rangoons. My gods – it was a night and a
half. It ruled.
I love Halloween. (more…)
