that meeting with the gamers was like the worst parts of a job interview and a blind date combined, as one of them commented. and i totally blew it. thanks to medication follies (there's a cascade effect, see -- if i miss one dose of something, i start forgetting to take other things, and over the course of a few days that adds up to Crazy Meredith), i got so anxious that i babbled, went on and on about the cats, and broke out in a nervous sweat. it was clear the guys weren't impressed and were thinking i'd be a disruptive addition, and they said they had another guy they needed to talk to and they'd let me know by the end of the week.
it's not the end of the world or anything. i'm already in one game. and i did get to try a new appetizer at Pacifica Thai: fresh spinach leaves topped with a crunchy mixture of fresh ginger, flaked coconut, and dried shrimp, served with a honey-garlic sauce that also contained chunks of tamarind. one puts a spoonful of the sauce on top, rolls up the spinach leaf, and eats it just like peking duck. delicious.
the waitress was extremely skeptical when chris ordered his curry thai hot, and from his reaction to it i suspect what they served him was not
truly thai hot, although he did break out in a bit of a sweat. i went for the praram long song with beef, which is always very fine there, since i'd eaten spicy flavor ramen for lunch.
on my way home from the restaurant i managed to forestall a full blown panic attack, but i'm still feeling pretty shaky. i need to call and ask the doctor to refill my ativan. either that or buy some pot. or maybe both.
addendum: one of these guys had a jaw to rival

tongodeon's legendary one. funny -- he doesn't like supers, but he definitely has the jaw for it.
