Last night was Danna's birthday, great success! We threw a balloon/dance party which would have been a surprise if Chris knew how to keep his damn mouth shut. Oh well. Much fun was still had by all. Though the ex-lover was there, and as of last weekend I think we've agreed to attempt to be friends, at least in public? He can be a lot of fun, I admit, though just because we're going to be friends doesn't give him license to try and put his hands on me, even at dance parties. We've actually had the discussion a few months ago, but I believe he was too drunk to remember it. *le sigh* I think what was most uncomfortable about it was that the party was at the Red House, aka Gary's house, as in "Hey, dude, it's waaaaay disrespectful to try and feel up your friend's ex-girlfriend, especially in front of him, especially in his own home, regardless of how long it's been since she was seeing either one of you."

Perhap's that's just my view of it though. Whatever.

Today I had a meeting with Dr. S about my Mayan research paper from last semester. Pretty much I'm converting some of the information to be viable for this semester's linguistic research paper, and then utilizing that paper as fodder for a different paper, all about the Pan-Mayan movement and class issues and whatnot. The big joke is that I'm not going to receive any class credit for the final product; it's all just for the sake of *research*, *academia*, and potentially getting published. So, I've concluded I'm stupid because lord knows I have enough shit I'm not taking care of already, so let's throw an independent study project on top of it. Yay!

Tonight is my tasting, which I am really excited about, provided I have enough time to cook everything. So I guess I should get off my lazy ass and start some cookies then.

(But all I really want to do is take a nap.)
