Between Christa and Mandy, I think I spent most of my final night in America being a deep shade of crimson. In particular, Christa made me blush so hard that I could feel my cheeks straining. Mandy couldn't do that, but did manage to create an image that will be impossible to scrub out of my mind without many years of therapy. It's what Eternal Sunshine is made for...

A good night then, although I wish I could have spent more talking to my friends instead of our stranger who took a shine to my accent and tried to talk to me about Formula 1 all night (I even got told off by a German couple for being to polite with him). Still, most of the gang was there: Heather, Emily, Christa, Eric, Mandy, Collin, Kaelin, Stacie, and Laura, and we had a good time, even if I got told off for buying my own drinks! I'm going to miss them all terribly once again...

(Incidentally, it was also the first time I've heard the word 'retcon' being used in a public area. Which only occurred to me afterwards)
