Keeping Busy
Tuesday, nothing terribly interesting happened. At least nothing that I can remember through the haze of the weekend. The same goes for Wednesday.
Thursday I got my paycheck so I was able to afford to actually get out and do something. So I took Brenda out for coffee at the Starbuck in Barnes & Noble so I could also make us of the coupon I had. I love sitting and conversing with Brenda over drinks without distractions. Good conversation is essential for a good relationship for me. Then after my date with Brenda, I took wyspurr out for dinner at the Majestic where she and I were also able to have some really great one on one conversation. So I had a really great night having a one date each with both of my loves. I felt a little spoiled.
I was only scheduled for a four-hour shift Friday morning, but it was a nightmare. I got rained on the whole way to work. It was busier than Id ever experienced it with phones ringing so constantly that I was barely able to stave off an anxiety attack. I have a hard time keeping up with six phone lines ringing at once while being expected to answer them.
Friday was the night the SGATLiens were celebrating hasselhoffs birthday at RuSans. BigBlack81 volunteered to watch the children since they were already in bed so that Brenda could come with wyspurr and I. We got there and the place was very crowded and a lot more people from the group were there than I think were anticipated. It took us a good while just to get the nearly twenty of us seated. It was really noisy and cramped but we had a really good time and it was great to see everyone. I cant wait until the warm seasons come back and SGATLien meet ups become more frequent.
Saturday afternoon I went over to holierthancows to celebrate our getting Roth & Earl going again after months of neglect. I got to see some of the stuff hes been working on for SMASH! Comics and showed off some of the pencils hes done for our own project to Brenda and wyspurr. We drank some booze, talked a lot of shop and other good conversation. It was great fun and I hope we get to hang out more often.
Saturday night was Hexxt. BigBlack81 was our babysitter and work kept him late so wyspurr, Brenda, and I didnt end up making it out there until 1:00am. I was sad to have missed so much, but we had a fantastic time nonetheless and got our moneys worth by staying until 5:30am. Familiar faces I saw there included Oz (very briefly), Draquanni, Roy, and Evil Mike. I was acquainted with Shawn, the photographer Elvis, and a few others whose names I didnt get. Im making it my resolution to try to have a conversation with at least five new people at every event I go to so I can try to break this tendency of mine to be able to count the number of people I know by name at any non-SGATLiens related social event on my fingers with often a hand to spare.
This morning I woke up with a killer hangover from pounding too many drinks that were more vodka than juice. wyspurr, Brenda, and I loaded the kids into the car and tried to find Phoenix & Dragon for some pagan parent meetup but we never found the place despite the fact that wyspurr and I have both been there several times before. That was a pain in the ass.
Afterward Little Kendra and her boyfriend Brett came to visit. We hung out at the apartment and all the adults watched Terror Firmer while the kids watched a more age appropriate moving in the other room. Then Kendra, Brett, Brenda, and I went to the Vortex for dinner and a drink. As we were waiting for the check my I had the idea that since whenever I see Kendra or Onie they ask about each other I should call Onie and see if she was doing anything. So we got a hold of her and the four of us ended up heading over to her place and hanging out a while, which was an awesome cherry on top of an already awesome weekend.
Now Im home and I really need to get some sleep but I didnt want to put off my journal entry any longer. I was so busy having fun this weekend that I didnt get a lot of stuff I wanted to do done. Too much of a good thing, I guess. Not that Im complaining.
