pipistrellafelixGood lord what a weekend...I keep doing this thing with my life, where I feel like I'm really really busy but if I look at it I feel like I'm not actually doing anything. Anyone else? Privileged middle class first world problems? (I think so.)
In any case: Friday I spent waaaay too long fighting with printers. I'm afraid I behaved badly for a work environment, but then so did they. BOTH PRINTERS. One out of toner despite my McGyvering it into printing more three times, and the other would jam literally every single page it tried to print. Given that I was trying to print programs for a show that night, this was, well, dumb. I brought a few programs over, and went to see You Never Can Tell, the SPT kids' show--it was cute, and they were clearly having a lot of fun. (Seriously...I knew some of these kids when they came up to my knee, almost literally. I am becoming an adult. I am becoming a person Kids Look Up To. I only hope this is useful when I SM at a highschool!)
Post-the play, I went over to Gabe's with Elliott, Zoe, Kayla and Kaya. We ate a little food, I played with one of Gabe's enormous dogs, and his sister's crow Stella, who was fascinated by my shiny shoes and even more so by the key on a chain that I pulled out from under my shirt. Oh Stella (STELLLLAA) I love you! It was so strange to see a creature I normally see everywhere outside, being wild, inside on someone's bed, just hangin' out in a room. In a house. Although it just confirmed my (illegal sans permit) desire to raise a crow and teach it awesome tricks and ways to communicate with me and we will be secret partners in crime. Or something like that. And then I went back out to Capitol Hill, where I found a posse of the SU crowd at Barca and got to see people, which is always good.
Saturday I ran about trying to make more copies--which I succeeded in, no thanks to the printers at the office--and then spent a little time just reading at home, before getting all dolled up in Talia's summer Elf costume. It's yellow! And adorable! I can't wait to get one of my own--my color will be royal blue, and the costume is rain boots, striped tights, a skirt over a fluffy white petticoat, white shirt, and shrug, plus umbrella. Adorable. I met up with Sprinkles and Roxie, and we went to what might be my favorite elf event so far--guest callers at Gay Bingo for Lifelong Aids Alliance. So much fun! We watched the first half, sipping cocktails, and then did our little medley as a second-act opener and called the bingo numbers. Roxie and I harmonized some of the numbers, and all three of us chatted with Alexa Manila, the fabulous MC; the crowd was enormous and raucous and fun, and the space was amazing--we were in Fremont Studios, which I didn't even know existed but know I really want to use it for something. It's the old TV studios--they have all these old sets crammed into the back room, and a WB Seattle 22 sign against a wall, and huge open spaces--it feels very classy and like we're important, because we're on a TV set. Really this is all in my head but I don't care--it was tons of fun.
Then back to the hill to see NIKKI! Nikki, my old roommate from junior year, who was back for just the weekend, and it was so good to see her. I went to Chao, where they host no-cover dance nights every Saturday. A bunch of SU kids were there, and Nikki (hooray!) and we danced and drank and partied until late. (We were going to head to the Cuff after Chao closed, but the cover was $15 for ladies...no thank you.)
Sunday...I slept till noon. And was slightly hungover, and remembered why I don't drink very much usually. Oh well! Perez and I combated hangover by going to get ingredients and making a giant pancake, strawberries and bacon breakfast/lunch and then watching the entirety of the second season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia which someone had burned for him. Yeah, I know... it was an entirely useless day.
BUT I am back to being ON TARGET today. At work, being useful, and then going home where I will be useful on personal things like prepping for SMing and being organized. Yep. Go me.
