(I think people without ties to Hong Kong don't really realize how shocking this disaster is. As of this writing, the death toll has climbed to 156 (and, unfortunately, might rise as the search for victims continues). This is HK's worst fire in almost 80 years, since 1948.)

out they had the same exact thought process, down to the people we wanted to avoid 👻 (as I expected, one of my jr. high bullies was there...)) As soon as I walked in to the cozier bar area someone shouted my name and I turned and it was Dillian and I thought, "Oh thank God" 😂 It's so great

seeing old friends (and not making any small talk but basically picking up where you left off), and it's even better seeing them coming into their own and thriving! I'm so proud of who you've become! So many pleasant surprises too, like seeing friends from elementary school 🥹

And when I got home I

left my childhood best friend a bunch of voice messages relaying all the gossip from the night, as she'd requested 🤭

(tl;dr even if you're like me (a huge nerd who couldn't wait to leave high school), I'd recommend going to your 20-year reunion)

Thanks for the selfie, Dillian! 💜

I waited for my last few pieces to dry for

trimming, and there was some leftover #porcelain clay, so I decided to give it a try and play around with it ^^) and glazed it in September. Before this, I'd been using reclaimed stoneware, which is Lillstreet #Art Center's default #clay. After this little experiment, in the fall session class, I

decided to try B #clay (a mix of reclaimed stoneware and #porcelain) as a bridge of sorts. And now for the early winter session class that just started, I bought my own block of porcelain clay for the 1st time—we'll see how this goes. 😅 It's a challenge, but I like it!

Jesus, can these companies relax with their hourly Cyber Monday emails?
