evile: I'm back :) Greencastle was....Greencastle. But it was nice to
see everyone.
SkyeDS: how's [sister H]?
evile: Doing well :)
SkyeDS: I was a little disturbed when I saw the bad weather in
Indiana from the hurricane.
evile: *nod* It was pretty dramatic rain & lightning, but we were
fine.
SkyeDS: I'm glad
evile: [G/Dad] likes to sit on the porch and watch the storms.
SkyeDS: I remember being disappointed for a decade or so that Austin
doesn't have spectacular lightning shows like Texarkana did. I like
to watch them from safe vantage points.
evile: yup. Me too.
SkyeDS: Rockdale has spectular lightning shows. can also see the
stars better. Must be an urban thing.
evile: *nod*
evile: Sweetie went fishing in the gulf while I was gone. He got seasick
and didn't catch anything. But he does want to go back to the beach
sometime this summer.
SkyeDS: I told our evergrowing little group I wanted to spend time in
the water as well as on horse this summer, and they were all agreed
that we will drag each other hither
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: swim party after drandmir next sunday
SkyeDS: can't find my damn suit
evile: having D, the kids,and [cousin B] all here for the summer is going to
mean we spend a lot of time playing in the water.
SkyeDS: big open field next to the apt complex, hopefully good place
to tie the children in the meanwhile
evile: hope so.
evile: I have way too much to do before D gets here. And there's a
party Friday and another one Saturday.
SkyeDS: Saturday = take white truck to get brakes done - a once a
year occurrence (3 years for most peoples) and go to Home Despot to
get materials for toy making
evile: cool.
SkyeDS: I entered the boys in the most expensive competition this
year, and they need to practice
evile: *fingers crossed* sounds like fun :)
SkyeDS: 8 hour round trip to tyler tx not really, but the rest,
hopefully
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: and we might get paid jousting jobs at 4 winds so that would
be cool
evile: that would be :)
SkyeDS: Malikai aka Prophet aka Steve invited us, and I am always
knockdown tickled when someone cool invites us to anything
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: I didn't have the courage to tell the Mayor of Milano when I
ran into him and his wife unexpectedly that we couldn't make their
parade this year
SkyeDS: that was bad of me
evile: aw.
SkyeDS: I need to call his office, get the address, and write a
formal note.
evile: *nod*
evile: I didn't realize Steve was in charge of anything at 4 Winds.
SkyeDS: he isn't.
SkyeDS: he told me to contact who was
evile: Oh, Ok then.
SkyeDS: but I wouldn't have known anything about it if he hadn't made
the effort to think of us and say hey, I'm doing this, wanna go with?
evile: *nod*
evile: there's another new faire starting up near DFW, Ravens Loft or
something. They have a yahoo group but no website. I don't think
they'll make it, but it could be a good 1-time gig for y'all. Another
for the resume.
SkyeDS: I'm sorry Hawkwood didn't make it. Great site, great hours.
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: little gigs are great for resume and don't put us in danger
of losing love for the game in order to profit by it.
SkyeDS: I learned my lesson the hard way about that very early in
life.
evile: yup
evile: Anyway, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ravensloft_faire/
SkyeDS: tante grazie :D
evile: sure. :) Assuming it actually happens, and on a weekend I can
go, I'd like to check it out.
SkyeDS: how long did it take them to approve you
evile: them?
evile: Oh, ravensloft. Like...a day or so, I guess.
evile: it's pretty busy, several messages a day.
SkyeDS: wasn't able to do crw because I already had something planned
the last Saturday of August
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: on the other hand, if we get accepted into a renfaire I'd
rather do that than a chamber of commerce thing
SkyeDS: even if the chamber of commerce thing might net me new
business
SkyeDS: it didn't last year.
evile: I haven't been reading long enough to know exactly when ravens
loft is going to be.
SkyeDS: last two weekends of august
evile: oh. OK. All I got was "Target Opening date is Fall 2005"
SkyeDS: I googled it, and ended up with both red river faire and
raven's loft
SkyeDS: and found a post you made, lol
SkyeDS: red river is the same weekend as elfsea
SkyeDS: and very much further away
SkyeDS: however if we get paid...
evile: Oh, OK, I didn't remember posting anything.
SkyeDS: you posted a question about ravensloft and someone named
otter responded
SkyeDS: I dont' remember where
SkyeDS: google ravensloft faire and you'll fi nd it
evile: Oh, that wasn't in ravensloft yahoo group, that was in
otterpond, or whatever.
SkyeDS: I haven't been accepted to RL yahoo group yet
evile: OK. sometimes the newsgroups are google-able even if you're
not a group member
SkyeDS: apparently so. got to be careful bout what you put in
writing ;).
evile: yup
SkyeDS: I remember a big hullabaloo over the fearsome four finding
something in Sharjinka's LJ apparently through a perfectly innocent
google search
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: did you see what I posted for your benefit and onyxlynxx's in my
LJ yesterday?
evile: saw it. you & I have already discussed this via ICQ, and I
feel like I've said all that is productive to say. Whatever goes
forward from this should be between you and Nikiyoy
SkyeDS: right
SkyeDS: that was my final word on it, and I thought you might like to
know, because as far as I'm concerned, that's the end of that
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: I wanted to ease whatever awkwardness was there.
evile: *shrug* this shouldn't be a 'my friends vs her friends' gang
style encounter, and as far as I'm concerned it's not going to be.
SkyeDS: it made onyxlynxx feel better, and that was a good thing.
evile: good.
SkyeDS: was hoping it would help you rest easier too
evile: We talked it out in ICQ already.
SkyeDS: nods, but the last I remember you saying was the word awkward
SkyeDS: so I wanted no more awkward
evile: *turns off teh switch* Better?
SkyeDS: if that was the awkward switch yes.
evile: sorry I don't work that way...but if people will quit poking
hte sore spot it will eventually heal on its own.
SkyeDS: I think accepting an apology is necessary to start healing a
sore spot. Shouldn't leave one hanging, you either accept it or not.
evile: it is/was between YOU and NIKIyoy. you and Nikiyoy have traded
apologies, it's over. Quit trying to prod me about it. I like you
both, it bothered me that you were at odds, give me a while and I'll
get over it.
evile: (this is me trying to disengage and change the subject,
please do NOT back me into a corner. bygones. over. no more.)
SkyeDS: fine, whatever
evile: I will not pick sides, I willnot fight with youon her behalf,
i will not fight with her on your behalf. It was between you and her.
SkyeDS: fine whatever = disengaging
evile: there is/was nothing to apologize to *me* for.
SkyeDS: I don't remember offering an apology
evile: there is/was nothing to post to LJ to me about, then.
SkyeDS: I remember accepting an apology offered to me, because I feel
it necessary to accept one or not, but not leave one hanging, the
person who apologized deserves as much
evile: *nod* that was graciously done.
SkyeDS: and because you mentioned things being awkward, I thought
they might be less awkward if you were aware of said acceptance
SkyeDS: it was, as stated, merely an FYI, requiring no response on
your part, I just wanted to be sure you saw it
evile: Ok. saw it. let's talk about something else now.
SkyeDS: again, fine, whatever.
evile: I had a nice 4 day weekend, a nice trip to Indiana & a good
visit w/my folks. Definitely a good way to step back and re-assess my
priorities in life.
SkyeDS: I'm sorry if I miscommunicated what I was after there, I
wanted a simple yes or no, you saw the fyi or you didn't.
SkyeDS: no discussion was intended.
evile: I saw it. I didn't feel any post on LJ was needed because you
and I had discussed it on ICQ already.
SkyeDS: I didn't expect a post
evile: Ok.
SkyeDS: boss gone, time to eat, brb
evile: OK

she was n/a from about 12:30 to 3:57. I sent her this and logged off:
==========================================================

evile: Well, It's time for me to go and you're not back from
lunch...so I'm going to have to leave you with this thought: You'd
think that with as many pleasant, happy-making interests we have in
common, we could stick to talking about those. I hope so, anyway. I
don't want to upset you any more than you want to upset me.
Anyway...hopefully we can talk tomorrow.
