So it was Arizona Gay Pride 2009 this weekend...
I had been wanting to go out since Thursday, but when you live at home still and need your mom to take you every where eventually it gets to the point where she dosnt want to do it. So this week she was getting to that point. So come Friday I really wanted to get out of the house. Its wierd cause now that i'm starting to get more of a social life built up. Its like now that I have people who want to see me, I cant wait to get through the week. The story behind this is that I had a bunch of close friends from highschool and we had a falling out so then the friends that followed really only used me for my car, and once it was totalled, they vanished. So as sad as it was I went without like friends for a few months but now I am making up for lost time...any way off track.
So Friday was an interesting start of Pride weekend. I got sent home early from work after only working an hour of my shift. Which was so weird cause I had a 6 hour shift that I had the intent of staying the whole time (I have a rep for leaving early especially when Linda is working) so that was super confusing I had to walk home and I had no key to the house so I was stuck outside listening to like my ipod till some one could come let me into the house. Dede and Zach said they would come take me out, and ended up coming inside and doing my make up for the night. So ended up going to Crusin 7th met up with Divinity and Jason. Drank what didnt seem like too much, even got a free drink from the bartender (not sure why but felt honored) but by the end of the night I wasnt doing too good, I ended up deciding to just crash on this side of town since thats where Pride is and I would meet up with Vivica and everyone in the morning....
So the morning came, and I wont lie I am super nervous to meet this girl Vivica, we had been texting like for a few weeks and talked on myspace before that. It's wierd cause when I find friends that I think I will hit it off well with I tend to get like really shy, which usually means I come off as being overly shy which never tends to work out either. So my friends drop me off at their hotel room and Vivica is as sweet and down to earth as I thought she would be.She introduced me to everyone who seemed just as nice, then helped me with my all my make up for the day. Her friend Sean even gave me this butterfly clip to put in my hair. So we head out to where the parade is, and since I staid the night on this side of town, I was in my heels, so I am stumbling all over the place lagging behind everyone lol. Got a few great shots, but really wanted the main focus to be like later in the day. So we decide to hit back up the hotel, Brian offered to let me wear an extra pair of shoes for the day (which I cant say thanks enough) I would of been so worn out if I had to keep wearing the heels. So after that we head to where the festivel is and everything. As soon as I walked in I saw one of my favorite people who I dont get to see all that much Drea (who was the one who gave me a bunch of earrings and necklaces a while back) it was really fun to see her. Vivica and I walked the booths to find more transgender releated things (which really werent any) as well as tried to find the prettiest tranny (other than us) So it was really nice, I played tag along (not that I minded), ran into Marc and Shane a few times, which is always fun to see them, though I tend to see them a few times in the week. There wasnt really much to do at the festival, so we kind of just decided to call it a day and go back to the hotel.
Sean was doing Rocky Horror Picture Show, and since I for one never been to it really, and lived on that side of town anyway I asked if I could tag along to that. So we went back to the hotel and tried to order pizza for like a few hours and finally succeeded in that. We created our own kind of inside joke "holy gettho" which is now alot of our ring tones for our phones. We walked around the hotel while Sean was doing his make up, which also turned into a lot of dorky and silly random momments. By then I was starting to open up a bit more but I think sort of missed my window a bit. Rocky was really fun, I managed to sneak by without doing the virgin stuff, which I know is kind of bad to admit too, but I was looking really cute, and I am extra self concious when I am like that, plus I was self concious about being in a skirt and with new people. So with the help of Vivica I managed to skate by.
I am kind of sad now, cause everyone is back up in Tuscon. I really wish we could of spent more time with each other, not that I think this will be the last of seeing them, but that its just really tricky for me since I dont have a car.
I couldnt find the cord for my digital camera, or the booklet on how to work my digital camera, which I got for x-mas, but still never uploaded anything from. the span of time this camera has on it is amazing. I still dont have pictures from anyone else's camera either so it might be a while before I get a pride folder created.
