Life...I think I'll keep it.

[reprobayt]

Had an odd weekend - lots of ups, some downs and some drama.

• Went to Frolicon as the "devil on the shoulder" and designated driver to a friend who needed a great time. I was successful, which makes me happy. Had a blast watching a great burlesque show put on by Big Mamma House of Burlesque and the Syrens of the South. Made me want to hire them for a show for me and my friends...who am I kidding - it's for me and everyone else is optional. Mayhap a birthday or Christmas gig? *ponders*


• Had an old friend come back into my life after two years - she, felishathekitty and I were like the Three Musketeers (even after she moved to Utah) until she just disappeared. Finally found out that she had an issue with something L and I were doing and for 6 months she didn't know how to react. The other year and a half was her not being able to swallow her pride and admit that it was silly. After much talking, I hope things will be closer to way things were.


• Had an unsolicited call from a cousin to tell me how bad a person I am because I'm not in St. Louis and doing the family things that they think I should. And a heaping amount of guilt. I mean a Heaping Amount of Guilt. It almost ruined my night - but with friends, I shook it off. Not sure how long I can keep my head straight, but trying.


• Also had someone who has been slowly closing doors continued closing doors for unknown reasons. I got nothin.

What does the week hold? Who knows. :)

I loved loved loved seeing you this weekend. Maybe we should try doing that more than every six months at cons? LOL.

Yeah, I know...back to that job-huntin' grind for us...

**HUGS** Had fun seeing you at the con. I'm hoping you'll give me a rain check on that time I mentioned. Sorry about the drama. I respect you and your actions.

[reprobayt.livejournal.com]

Rain check accepted, of course. :)

*hugs* Family is so good at pushing buttons.

*still sniggering at the "devil on a shoulder" comment. srsly. >:)*

[reprobayt.livejournal.com]

Thought you'd like that...

*snigger* how could I not??

boo to guilt laying family members. i like to remind people that love does not include things like making people feel guilty when they try stuff like that. an honest "i miss you and wish i saw you more but respect that you have your own life and circumstances" will suffice, ya know?
also i hate when people go away without telling you why. it seems like a sad waste of potential, either to fix the situation or at least understand where the other person was coming from. no communication does no good for anyone.
burlesque shows are fun! i know a bellydancer who sings at a local one

*snuggles* life would be boring with out drama; but yeah some drama is harder on the soul than others. I really need to get to Frolicon one year.

[reprobayt.livejournal.com]

You have the ability to be your own Frolicon...one of your superpowers. :)

[msanborn.livejournal.com]

I certainly was Frolic-ing at Zack's this weekend.

Great to see you my friend. I couldnt believe all those people were being naughty around us... I was totally scandalized!

[libidoergosum.livejournal.com]

If YOU were scandalized by the naughtiness, I'm definitely going to have to kill some insurgents for making me miss the party!

[muffle1969.livejournal.com]

OH puh-LEEZ, Gnomeo! You did your very own scandalizing...I know for a fact! :)

*giggle*

[reprobayt.livejournal.com]

You know for a fact? Do tell...

:)

[reprobayt.livejournal.com]

I'm glad we were there to set a better example.

[libidoergosum.livejournal.com]

good to hear that the weekend went well.

How's Theresa?

[reprobayt.livejournal.com]

Saw her yesterday...she's doing pretty good.

[libidoergosum.livejournal.com]

better take care of her. Don't make me have to sick Asiah on you.

[reprobayt.livejournal.com]

Now that's a threat I agree with you on.

Dang it...

[alladinsane.livejournal.com]

Thought I spotted you a couple of times, but as too usual at cons I was going Direction A and you wer going Direction B(or is that vice versa) not to mention I was also as usual for me at cons nice and inebriated...apologies to you for my being lacking in social grace...I promise to do better in future...

Know the feeling about family guilt tripping...I've had extra doses laid on me this past year or so...best of luck on that and know you're not alone...
