I made a deal with a dear long distance friend of mine this New Year’s Eve that I would toast him at midnight if he would toast me. As the venue I was at was ten minutes late with the midnight, and I didn’t have anything to toast with anyway, I instead made a post to him<\/a> in reparation right before bed. <\/p>\n

This was my reply: <\/p>\n

“That’s really sweet, if slightly creepy. You were toasted at the Radegast Beer Hall in Brooklyn by about twenty people in a rolling, gregarious mood. The majority were men. Tequila had occurred prior. It went, word for word, like this:<\/p>\n

VS:<\/b> And to Jane with an H!
\nTim:<\/b> Who the heck is Jane with an H?
\nVS:<\/b> She’s a good friend of mine.
\nTom:<\/b> Why should we toast her?
\nVS:<\/b> Because she’s my friend.
\nDanny:<\/b> But why should we TOAST her?
\nVS:<\/b> Sigh. She has breasts.
\nAll:<\/b> To Jhayne!<\/p>\n

What can I say, I know how to work a crowd.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s nice to feel so appreciated.
