evile: I think they're gone. Now my machine is insufferably slow.
UGH@!!!!
SkyeDS: <hugs>
evile: I just want to do my job and go home. That's all.
evile: ANYWAY, how is YOUR day going?
SkyeDS: nods
SkyeDS: it goes, will be happy when it's over
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: Randy looked at the first helmet that came in and said that
regardless of what it was represented as, it isn't heavy field legal
SkyeDS: which isn't a problem for sineater but is for sonar0m
evile: Oh, no!
SkyeDS: Eq helmets do not have the same requirements as Heavy, so
I've sent off pics to Laura and Linda, and if they don't Approve then
I'll try to get my money back, or resell them on ebay, and get
fencing masks
SkyeDS: but the boys will have to borrow masks for Bryn Gwylad
because of time
evile: *nod* Well, that's too bad about the cool-looking helmets :(
SkyeDS: if they're good for boffer we might as well keep them
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: wonder if sineater might like to go to TRF Saturday
SkyeDS: Hugh is going
evile: 23rd?
SkyeDS: nod
SkyeDS: anywhere/way to get discount tickets that you know of? I
think like Taco Bell has discount tickets...
evile: Maybe a grocery store--albertson's or HEB. I don't think
online would get to you quick enough, plus the $2 handling fee makes
it not much of a discount
evile: onyxlynxx is going to TRF this weekend, but roninjedi isn't anymore.
evile: http://www.texrenfest.com/tickets.asp
evile: the 23rd is the last bellydance & fire show at Natural Magic
for this year. More decisions. ugh.
SkyeDS: well now he doesn't think he wants to go. sigh.
evile: oh feh.
evile: I need to make up my mind about what to do this weekend SOON.
Too many options.
SkyeDS: he asked some time ago about TRF
SkyeDS: I asked him if he wanted to drop an event to go which would
be fine with me
SkyeDS: he said no
SkyeDS: so this weekend opens up, and I ask him if he watns to go,
and he says, no, I'd rather stay home, build fence and clean house
evile: Oh well.
SkyeDS: (which we could do sunday but anyway)
SkyeDS: already decided to give up Drandmir on Sunday because I might
have two lessons and $60 is worth staying home for
evile: that's cool.
SkyeDS: and while most of one day is enough for either fencing OR
cleaning, it isn't for both
evile: *nod* I get that way too, sometimes it's nice to just stay
home & putter, get things done, get caught up.
SkyeDS: last night I got a little annoyed
SkyeDS: Marshall spent 50 minutes of his hour lesson asking to ride
Jezebel rather than Mirage
evile: oh?
SkyeDS: so the last 10 minutes, I relent, and put him on Jesse.
SkyeDS: and he spent the entire time whining he wanted to be on Mirage
evile: Oh, for gods sake.
SkyeDS: and the worst part is then when his mom and dad come to pick
him up, he whines to his mom that I MADE him ride Jesse, he didn't
want to.
evile: whatever!
SkyeDS: well, I don't need parents believing that I would force a
child to ride a horse s/he wasn't ready for.
SkyeDS: and she's just nuts, so I never know what she's going to
believe.
evile: *nod* I remember her. ick.
SkyeDS: she wants to switch to every two weeks and not every week
SkyeDS: I can't say that I'm disappointed. even with the loss of the
weekly income.
evile: *nod*
evile: onyxlynxx's ride to TRF keeps waffling, so I told her I'd be her
backup. If you wanted to make it a girls' day out, we could always do
that. leave sineater home to do his thing.
evile: Just a thought, we don't have to decide anything right this
second. There's still a few days before the weekend, so, whatever.
evile: At this point my default is home & NM bellydance show. If Sweetie
acts like he really wants me at the VW campout, that would be #1. But
so far he hasnt
SkyeDS: HK was my first/only fire show. Fire show = pretty damn cool
evile: *nodnodnod*
SkyeDS: belly dance I can take or leave depending on how good the
dancers are
evile: You should let me light you on fire sometime.
evile: The Typsy Gypsys aren't that great, to be honest. I dislike
their leader a bit. (obnoxious yankee bitch)
SkyeDS: I don't know that I want to be lit on fire, but I wouldn't
mind playing with fire toys like poi, fans, and staves
evile: But the fire is way cool.
SkyeDS: those were the other dancers I take it
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: one of them got drunk and jumped my case
SkyeDS: I was very cold
SkyeDS: so I had my khafiya wrapped all the way around my face, and
was huddled down in my abaya and two cloaks on top of
SkyeDS: apparently she thought it was a burqqa and she flipped
evile: Oh for gods sake. How intolerant of her, even if it WAS a
burqua.
SkyeDS: well yeah
SkyeDS: I was so cold and so muffled initially I didn't hear all of
what was going on
SkyeDS: and the boys managed to get her calmed down before I realized
enough to respond
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: "you don't understand, I'm a bellydancer and I have negative
associations with the burqa (and some other very strong language I
didn't hear all of)"
SkyeDS: ok, so, don't look.
evile: how rude.
SkyeDS: she was very, very drunk
SkyeDS: all three of them appeared to be when they were dancing
SkyeDS: Dracone put them in the shade.
evile: good for him :)
evile: He and 2 of the 3 Typsy Gypsies were performers at Extravagasm.
evile: not together, but each had their own dance
SkyeDS: <wrinkles nose at Gypsies>
evile: The leader, Memserate, or however she spells it, used to be
inthe VW gang. Nobody liked her, all were relieved when she sold her
orange bug & quit showing up.
SkyeDS: she apparently isn't popular with the leadership of the CMA
either (as she was complaining to Seneca of the ESA)
evile: poor dear.
evile: I have no sympathy for her. she's rude and unpleasant to be
around, so why should people be polite and pleasant to her?
evile: Just to be fair, her dancing has gotten better since she
started at Cafe Mundi
evile: she doesn't do as much of the ungraceful, ugly 'belly/slam-
dance" thing anymore
evile: oops, it's 4. Gotta go. More trash talk tomorrow ;)
evile: *hugs*
