All right, so I've been slacking off on posting here and apparently people have noticed. To all those of you who actually care (all two of you), I apologize profusely.
So what the hell have I been up to? On many a front, you don't even want to know, but mostly I've been insanely busy trying to get ready for the month of October. This past weekend was Renaissance Faire and it was a blast. Mr. Puck and Kobold's girl, The Jenn came up from Phoenix to stay with us and have fun times. The nice thing about not camping out at faire is tear-down. Holy crap am I glad we didn't have to load a whole u-haul again this year. On the down-side, we did have to drive home. Saturday night was a late night for everyone, and around 4am I was VERY tempted to just knock on Geatano's tent and tell him to roll over and share the blanket. Turns out, he was freezing to death. Poor guy, I totally could have fixed that, as anyone who has ever shared a bed/sleeping bag with me can attest, I am a human space-heater.
At any rate, a good time was had by all and I bought a new bodice, which I will be wearing for the wedding that's coming up this weekend. I'm flying back to Michigan (for the first time in about five years) for Lisa's wedding - which, incidentally, is my birthday as well - and it's a themed wedding, so she's asked me to wear my garb. I'll have to say, it's most certainly a far cry from what I was wearing going to the Michigan faires. It'll be excellent and uncomfortable for the first bit, but then I believe I'll be doing a costume change for the reception. Can't dance too well in a bodice in which the front busk is made from heavy duty fiberglass and DOES NOT bend.
The best news, of course, is that I get to see my friends and family again. I have seen my brother, father and mother but none of the others have been brave enough to make the trip out to Nevada. This of course, has to be remedied soon, as Nevada has a lot of fun things going on, even if you're not on the strip. Hear that, folks? Come visit me!! You'll have a place to stay and I'll show you the inside-scoop on what to do. Also, I'll get to see the people whose writing I've been reading and vice versa. Apparently the writer's club is DEMANDING that I make a guest appearance for their meeting - and even setting up a special meeting just for me - so that they can all shake me and kiss my hand or something. I'm not sure if this constitutes a following, but I'll go ahead and say it does for the ego-stroke involved.
Moving on, the weekend after next, my Denise-y-poo (aka: snatch) is going to be in town for a concert. She'll be staying with me and has promised a good time and some girl-talk. That's one of the things that I really miss about Reno, the female friends I made up there. It's all well and good to be 'not-really-a-girl' but every now and then you just need to dish about guys and bitch about how dumb they are with another female.
Also, I've been working on my schooling, which means I'm taking classes, working, getting mobbed by people that want my attention (in-state and out), and generally being a good kid as best I can. I've only got a few more classes and I'll be done with my degree (yes, finally) and have that all-important piece of paper. Sidenote: did you know there is a whole job dedicated to social media for a PR/Advertising perspective? I want it so badly... mom said she's got one of these people at her University and I've got to say I wouldn't mind doing that for a career, believe me!
So all in all, life is good. Look forward to a few observational posts forthcoming on the ethical treatment of Rennies and a few other topics. For right now, I'm duck-and-covering for the holy crap stuff that's going on in my life.
