Its getting on for five in the morning, which means I have roughly six hours before I need to leave the house and go to Pride in Manchester. It also means the weather has six hours to turn itself from Hurricane Whatthefuck into a glorious Bank Holiday Summer-type-thing. In these six hours I still need to find at least three outfits which dont make me look like an elephant seal/dont make me THINK I look like an elephant seal until Im on my fourth drink and several insane drag queens have complimented me. This is no small undertaking. I also need to do my nails, my hair, tidy the shit out of my room and make a valid attempt not to kill everyone with the waves of embarrassingly stressed out behaviour I will be exhibiting until, again, several insane drag queens have complimented me. This last is in part because unlike in previous years Im headed off to Pride with various different factions of friends, none of whom I believe will completely gel until, like me, theyre on their fourth drink and several insane drag queens have complimented them.
Were I to go hang out with Lady Insane and her friends as I did before Id relax, because I had a fantastic time last year just chilling and being dyketastic (and getting laid) on three separate nights. Were I to attend with Taz (as I do everything else) Id relax because shes a very small, compact party machine, and can be relied upon to go fag-hag-tastic at the drop of a sequin. However I am attending with neither, so can become neither, and am very unsure as to how things are going to progress.
or whether Ill look like an elephant seal.
Vodka? Insane drag queens? Bring it on. Please.
Fun Felidae Fact: I am not actually as shallow as this entry has just made out to be, but its all the stuff thats currently at the top of my mind. Lurking beneath the surface are such piffling little issues such as contacting my former university regarding the huge debt I owe them before they sue me into oblivion amid other hideous financial messes into which I have gotten myself into but have no real ability to get out of, andokay, no, the elephant seal thing just rose up and eclipsed all.
Post Fun Felidae Fact: I know this got posted about three days late, but I didn't have time BEFORE Pride, what with the seal issues and all.
