1780Craft nite, etc.

Dec. 11, 2003

 

 

I went to craft night last night. I brought the EZ up tent and
folding chairs for sineater & skye_ds to set up their booth at faire. sineater
was there for a minute, just long enough to put the stuff in his
truck & give me a longish speech re: politics, politicians,
unemployment, & why everything in the US sucks.

Apparently he is just along for the ride on this Ingleside stuff,
too. Has no idea what skye_ds plans as far as being 'entertaining' or
what she's going to do in the booth, and is having trouble figuring
out how they're going to wrangle 2 horses, bird, round pen, etc. (AND
VEND!!!) just the 2 of them, because they've usually got one of
skye_ds's pet boys in tow to be an extra set of hands. I made
sympathetic noises, but I am NOT going to be their slave for the
weekend. I have my own plans (or lack thereof) and I intend to have
FUN. Not wrangle animals, bird-sit, booth-sit, or what-have-you. I re-
iterated this to sineater & he seemed cool with it.

The high school kids left Craft night early and I was left in the
awkward situation of being there with Sharjinka urging me to stay, me
knowing she needed to study for an exam, but with me there, she was
talking to me.

Rather selfishly, I did go ahead and stay. I had a bunch of little
stuff I'd been waiting to get my 'round to--buttons that had come off
of stuff, pants that needed a hem fixed, new elastic in a peasant
blouse, etc. So, I got all my little stuff done, Jinx blabbed at
me re: ex boyfriend, HFS politics, and other sort of sad/boring
stuff ,and then I left around 10:15.

Tonight is bellydancing at Cafe Mundi, packing for Ingleside Faire,
and hopefully I can get a batch of Lynn cookies done.

I love 3 day weekends!

J-Law to me, re tonight & the weekend:

Sounds like a busy night, but I am glad you're going to have fun. I
have thought of taking belly dancing lessons.

Good luck this weekend! I sure hope sineater's understanding spills over
to skye_ds and she doesn't go all drill sergeant on you.
---------------------
me to J-Law:

Okay, here we go: sineater was worrying last night about whether or not
they'd be allowed to set up their portable round pen for the horses.
I found a photo of last year's faire with sheep & a camel in what
looked like a similar portable-fence type enclosure, and sent it
along to both of them, with a note that it looked like a round pen
would be acceptable, but possibly not RIGHT NEXT to their vendor
booth.

Got an email back from skye_ds a few minutes later regarding "an
unpleasant experience" involving "two hours of unplanned driving"
and "rescuing" someone who will then be coming to Ingleside Faire
with them to "help".

Wooboy, here we go. Fuckwittage shall abound shortly, I can just feel
it in dese ol' bones.

I suspect the rescued person is one "Aeris" who is a very
helpless gay boy who keeps getting himself into bad lover/roommate
situations & keeps having his stuff stolen, thrown away, himself &
his stuff thrown into the street, etc. He is a very very queeny drama
queen. Not that he's not entertaining in small doses. And he *can*
sing. But...gah.

More than likely he will try and glom on to me because I'll be more
fun than the two people who are getting up at 3 a.m. Saturday to
drive to faire, and who will be wrangling horses, bird, furniture,
tent, chair, oddments of crap to try to sell, bla bla.

And the glommage will naturally be all my fault, shame on me.

And there will also probably be some wierdness because I'm
interesting to him and he's "HERS" even though he's gay.

feh.

edit: well, I *did* offer him crash space in my room, so that
obviously shows what a sexual predator I am.

Um, no. I am offering crash space to homosexual man and if she comes
back and says it's some other HFSer, if it's a girl, the offer still
stands, if it's Sonar0 or Kaleon or any hetero guy, forget it.
