Sounds like everyone had a great deal of fun at the various parties. I'm surprised, though, that you'd never met zpdiduda before. She was at the party at our place last weekend, though it's possible she'd already left by the time you arrived. LJ is cool, though--I don't think I'd describe MYSELF as having met her till she posted something right before Loving More. And she'd been in my pool SEVERAL times by then. *sigh*

Good luck with the tests, cars, and school meetings!
