An Ambush Friending

This is what Bird did to me. Out of all of her friends, this year she chose me as the object for her ambush friending.

Instead of the blindfold, handcuffs and loud music, which usually accompany such a shindig, she actually asked me if I was free Friday night for 4 hours, and if I wouldn't be willing to go somewhere with her.

She ended up telling me what the plan was, and we changed it a bit, but it was so much fun. First, Brokeback Mountain...for which I have no words. Second, Irish Lion for a Guinness, which was lovely, and much fanatical conversation. And I discovered how much I love Owen for loving Ireland so much. We definitely discussed it for at least 30 minutes, which is mild, considering he was just there over the weekend (jerk!).

I hope that I can plan ambush friendings for people in years to come. It was so lovely and I was so relaxed...after two months of unending tension, it was a welcome relief.

Thanks, Bird!
