ignore my grumpy face!

notes on the outfit:
i felt very professional without the stiff snobbery. these tights are my favourite (so is the skirt, and the top, and the jewellery...). my bracelets clanged against each other all night and it was wonderful. i wore practically this same thing out blues dancing in fort collins last week, though it was much less appropriate and dancing in a pencil skirt is a difficult task. tonight however, warranted dressing up.
tonight was guy fawkes night, affectionately known otherwise as bonfire night. fireworks! burning effigies of the pope! general debauchery! i was invited to the member's-only naval & military club with an acquaintance held in high esteem, where we had hella fancy food in a library/dining room (apparently the dining room proper was booked for an event). it was all quite historical and very, very english. to put it mildly, it was decadent: stimulating conversation in an environment so fancy that i felt a bit uncomfortable— and i'm usually really good with that kind of thing!
of course, i'll be celebrating for the next few days along with the rest of the city. it's a holiday commemorating [the thwarting of] an attempted explosion! it's all about fire and religious tensions, so count me in. it's hard to say, but i think guy fawkes day may have hallowe'en beat in my book.

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,notes on the night out:
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

silly kiss-blowing shoe shot; relaxed morgan is relaxed.
