I had SUCH an amazing start to my weekend. First I went and did my final teacher eval, then met with my professor for the final time, and she had lovely things to say about me and my contributions to the classes I took with her, and such constructive things (and positive things) to say about my thesis. It was a really bitter-sweet parting, but wonderful, too.

Right from there I went across town to pick up emilytheodd who I have known via flist for a few years now, but whom I'd sadly never met. She is even more sparkly awesome in person :D We drove to Berkeley to meet up with miss_begonia and ericaplease for dinner and some musical theater. Dinner was delicious: salad, pizza and chicken satay, and great fun. We saw Girlfriend at the Berkeley Rep. It was DELIGHTFUL. It's like everything I love about super-well-written, schmoopy with just-the-right-amount-of-angst fanfic, only on stage and featuring music played by a band of REALLY REALLY HOT dykes. YES. PLEASE. We were squealing into our flists, clapping, giggling and laughing (which annoyed a man sitting near us who seemed to be seriously sense-of-humor impaired, but whatever) and there was at least one point that was soooo gorgeously sweet that I literally could not breathe.

We then repaired to miss_begonia's for cake, wine, gifts, and High School Musical. I am no longer a HSM virgin! (I'm still not sure if this is a good thing or not.) We watched a few select songs from 1, and then all the way through 3 (which i kind of dozed during, but I don't think I missed much). We then stayed up until 5:30 in the morning talking about slash, and bandom, and music, and politics, and voting, and law school, and grad school, and writing, and family and other VERY IMPORTANT THINGS. Then we all got up at 9:30. (I mentioned the exhausted, right?) During that time I had a dream that I was working for Zach Efron in Connecticut (on some campaign, I think) and he and I had to travel to VT to fetch Lea Michelle so that she could go to Boston and marry Kristin Chenowith. IDK either!)

This morning I had a lovely chat with Miss B about Adam and AI and writing and all sorts of lovely things, and then came home to collapse. I'm more than 24 hours behind on LJ, and I've tried to catch up, but I can hardly see. Sorry!

I essentially have 4.5 more days to get ready for my road trip. This makes me want to vomit a bit, I have to say. Hopefully I'll get there?
