greenstormMan, you know you've been ljing too long when all your titles are repeats.
I'm home! I was at Juggler's last night, and the lovely Devon's the night before. I worked today, was on the Drive yesterday, and the sum total of time well spent was still too much time for me to be away from my babies. I missed them! Lots.
Starting from the beginning, Saturday was mostly a lot of sitting around in grey weather. That was fine, cause... well, it was grey weather. I got some roleplay in, and headed over to the Juggler's house for the afternoon, and with him to Kynnin's party for an hour or two in the evening.
The party was cool, in the everyone's-gaming-but-friends-are-here-so-I-can-sit-and-chat sort of way that hasn't happened for awhile. I got to see Ellen (!!!) and Adrian (it's been a long time) and Tillie and _locke with his head shaved (!!). Didn't see much of Kynnin, since he was busy gaming, but I figure I'll catch up with him another time. My brother was there. He's growing up fast.
I dressed up for the party, which was fun again. It had been a busy sweatpants-only week, and I got to wear my sparkly suit (I see you, Estry!) that I got when sari shopping. It's really very lovely, all sparkles and grey, with a pair of very interesting side-slits (because of course the tunic part is supposed to be worn over those pants).
Juggler and I headed home before too long. We had a really wonderful time. We didn't get much sleep, but we did manage to nip some of this budding re-angst-talking in our relationship in the bud, I think. Got some info sorted out about safe sex stuff and me dating, which... is frustrating for me, because it takes so long to get that kind of info out of him. But! I'm not gonna worry about it too much, at least not for two months, at which point it'll be stressful again but we've had a break, and he's going to get back to me soon with what the situation right now actually *is*, which will be much appreciated. Lesigh.
I'm definitely ceding a lot of power and control on this issue ('what do you want me to do?' vs 'this is what I'm doing, how are you going to deal with that?') and it's perhaps the wrong way to go about it. Gotta think about that.
So Sunday Devon and I met up at the Commercial Drive festival thingy. It was *packed*. The Drive from about First to Venables was closed to traffic, and there were bands and... I dunno what they call them, DJs? MCs? Rave-y sort of music people. There were tons of stalls selling things and being political, there was a hula hoop contest at one point, there were tank rides (in a pedal-powered tank) and just generally fun stuff and noise. It was a lot of fun. We ended up spending a while in Womyn's Wear bemoaning our lack of funds, though that didn't stop her from getting a lovely rosebud dildo in pink. We both were dressed up, me in my pink princess dress (thanks again, Estry!) and her in a green polka-dot fifties dress.
When it ended, we bought a watermlon and headed back to her beautiful apartment (okay, hardwood floors and windows, I'm biased) and had a picnic in her livingroom and hung around and chatted all girlie-like until it got dark, at which point we got stuff for supper and collapsed into bed. It was too much fun to head home, really. I got to introduce Devon to the concept of poly-molecule-drawing, and she got to introduce me to her cats and new corset.
Then this morning we sorta-kinda-got-up (bah! for weekdays and work) and wandered off our seperate ways, me to work (still lugging my big coat, which I'd packed Saturday, despite the fact that it was REALLY NICE out) and her to school. I half-slept through work, and now I'm home! Yay!
Now I'm really looking forward to the next commercial drive festival, and I also want to wander through La Vie En Rose at some point, and I also want to buy the snakeskin harness from Women's Wear and the snake dildo for it, though I've no one to use the snake on. I've had my eye on that thing for a year or more now, though. *sigh*
Oh, woe is me, what terrible trials I face. :)
