If you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you

Or at least that's how I feel after looking at my bank balance. Financial vertigo, anyone? So... sorry jilavre. We may not be going out tonight after all.

I should probably stay home and read a good book, anyway.

You see, I have a party to go to tomorrow night. It will be full of wonderful, witty, creative people.

And I am deeply, deeply intimidated.

What I need is the five turtle-sweatered geniuses from Smart Eye for the Dumb Guy to burst through my door, give me a crash course in Derrida, quantum physics and 21st century dandyism, and then send me on my way with a wink and a catty remark.

Guess I'll have to sette for being nice.

(What? You haven't seen that show? Much better than that fairy-godmother rip-off.)

Maybe you could look at the party *as* the crash course.

and when you walk in to the party there will be another wonderful, witty, creative person to talk to..

Er, I hope you're not talking about my party. On the off chance that you might be, that's funny because I was wondering whether or not you'd be bothered coming, and was utterly stoked when you said you could. I rather feared you might be above that sort of thing.:) So, if you guys can make it I'll be happy and my usual sort of shy and possibly waffle a little about how damn talented you are, and your flair for poetic concepts. And if anyone mentions Derrida, I'll pour champagne on them. Nothing ruins a good party faster than French deconstructionists.

Jaysis, I'd never have described you as nice. Not that you aren't, but I think the torrent of imagery that pours forth from you, and the fact you've 'gently wistful with a tinge of magic' into a fine art would rate a mention before nice.

You are too kind. And too modest.

And even if what you said were true... have you ever tried being wistful with a tinge of magic at a party?
