so looking forward to the party tonight.
it’s a throwback to highschool, reminicent of lan parties and late night taco bell and boys loving the geek in me.
that’s right, it’s a magic party—magic the gathering, that is.
e played a bit this summer, and tonight a few his friends are driving down from redding to draft with us all. i wonder if they know just how many girls are going to be there? me and ally and am and ame are all looking forward to this in a way that is seriously not right.
we’ve been badly planning this night for a few weeks now. the only thing that was ever seriously decided on and never changed was the night. other than that, people have come and gone and come back, location has changed, timeline moved. we suck at planning, but at least we’re finally here, and it’s too late to turn back.
it’s going to be wierd, to be sure. i’ve never drafted, but i’ve seen it done (and poor e when he tried to explain it to me in depth, and i was like “dude, i said i’ve never done it, not that i didn’t know how it was done. after all, fat boy was all about drafting. i’d spend all day in the card shop. it’s why i know how to knit”), and i don’t know how many blocks magic has moved passed ursa’s. but i miss it. and my cards. and my decks. and playing in general.
i wish i had jacob’s number still. i’m sure he’d have driven up from sacramento to play, even though i haven’t seen him in ages, and we haven’t played even longer.
so, i’m looking forward to this geek party, in a seriously bad way. we’ll see how it goes. and here’s hoping a girl wins the draft. would totally serve the boys right for underestimating us.
