I opened my package--HILARIOUS! I can't wait to do our pumpkin!!!
Thank you! :) That's so cute! [she sent me a mr potato head pumpkin
decorating kit!]

I'm working through lunchtime and leaving early today. I have a ton
of stuff to do before leaving for faire tomorrow morning. I admit,
camping in the Vanagon has spoiled me a bit. I'm all like "crap, I
have to dig up the tent, the stove, flashlight, sleeping bags, bla
bla" and all we have to do for the vanagon is load in groceries and
pillows and go. Oh well. It's gonna be fun.

I don't hurt as much today as I did yesterday. That's a good sign,
too, I think. I could use a soak in a hot tub, though. Hopefully I'll
find/make time for that today, too.

Krav Maga last night was pretty cool. Not quite as intense as the
intro class I took at the studio in far south Austin last summer, but
still good. [Cousin B] hits HARD! He started out being partnered with me and
another girl, but the instructor moved him to sparring with the guys
pretty quickly.

He started class stoned but sobered up by the end. I told him how
really boring and stupid I found stoners to be. Whats sad/scary is, I
like him drunk and I like him on extasy but...I have to probably be
unilateral in saying "drugs and alcohol aren't for everyday, and
nothing is legal to you right now, so can you quit with the
substances?" *sigh* I plan on being sober at faire tomorrow,
hopefully that will show him that people can have fun without being
fucked up. It's so wierd, because one of the things he told me about
a month ago (before making friends at school) was that all his old
friends in Boerne were substance abusers and he liked being with me
and Sweetie and our friends because we are fun and have a great time
without substances...ahh, the joys of peer pressure.

Tonight is a bellydance show at Casa de Luz, which should be fun. One
of my favorite dancers, Leila, is going to be there, and Elena is
meeting me and [Cousin B] there, so it ought to be a fun evening. And then
he's spending the night and we'll get up bright and early tomorrow &
go to faire!
