Ok, really, I love you all but I'm about ready to go off into the desert and live under a sagebrush. I have oh-so-many things to post but I want visual aids for these things, and most of them reside on a camera for which I have no reasonable (aka: free) way to get said pictures onto my computer (anyone have a mini usb something-or-other cord?) for said pictorial explanations.
Just so that you are all aware, October has been unusual for me, in that everyone and their brother has wanted a piece of me this month. Generally speaking, this is sort of nice as an ego boost/social life sort of way, but you people are wearing me ragged! I haven't had a day to myself (without work or school) since the last weekend of September. Usually I'm complaining about nothing to do, now I'm complaining about no sleep and having to 'pencil people in.' What has the world come to?
So, in general, this is how my month has gone: Weekend 1 of October (and prior) was preparation for Renn faire/going to AZ to visit the Puck and the Jenn. This was nice, a way to sort of get away from the trials and tribulations that have been happening in my life lately (lots of drama, we won't go there, being that this is a public journal and I like to protect those who may be offended by my saying they're generally being a-holes). It was good but it wasn't really much of a vacation. It also consisted of me going to Momma D and helping/begging her to help me make some garb up for faire, being that there was a distinct lack of pretty garb going on in my collection.
Weekend 2 of October was Renn Faire. A good time was had by all, Jenn and Puck were in town, as well as most of the Gypsies and we had excellent fun with them. Puck took 2nd place in National Steel and 4th in the Renn tournament, which is awesome (being that now I'm officially his squire, I can brag about this sort of thing!). We had drinkings, we had adventures and we got to introduce Jenn to the fun of Faire without the hassle of helping setup/tear down our ungodly cool/wicked-to-put-together-and-take-apart campsite. More on this later.
Weekend 3 of October was my birthday weekend, which included a plane trip to Michigan, a Halloween themed wedding and my first visit back to see my family in 5 years. There is SO much more to post about this, including a call from my ex regarding his loss of a certain article of my clothing, Michigander graffiti and more... it will be its own post, I promise
Weekend 4 of October was a visit from Snatchypants (aka: Denise), one of my best friends who happens to live in Reno. She flew in on Thursday and left Sunday afternoon. Denise is a wonderful, awesome, exuberant, excellent person and there are definitely more things to tell you about her visit. This is just an outline!
Next weekend (aka: weekend 5) will consist of my hours at work being changed - on one day's notice - from 11:30am - 8pm, to 4:30pm - midnight. This starts Wednesday (aka: tomorrow) and ends Friday.. and I have the distinct feeling that my new hours of operation (10:30am-7pm) will begin Monday. So now, I'm in a quandary: I was supposed to do Karaoke Thursday night for Momma D's birthday and also, was going to go to 2 parties on Friday night, each before 12am. AND I've got a Halloween party on Saturday that's bound to be at least quasi-stressful given the guests attending.
Needless to say, I'm going to just curl into a corner and cry for the first few moments of sweet, sweet November.
