Long, long update

Sleater-Kinney was great last night, but they didn't play "One Beat" :( I had fun hanging out on the roof of Suzy's apartment (right above Oodles) with dad and his friends. I met some new people, got a nice compliment from a very prominent Knoxvillian *blushy* and was stalked by a group of dorky skaterboi tweens who kept flirting with me and taking snapshots when they thought I wasn't looking. That was good for a laugh.
Met up with C&K at the Pres Pub later on and some others showed up. Cutthroat Shamrock was awesome! I talked to a nice lady(?) who I later discovered might actually be a man... and it was all because of my RHPS bag. They said I'd make a great Magenta and I told her/him I've dressed as her before and that S has been in it for ages. Another guy freaked out that I was wearing a Skinny Puppy shirt and was surprised when I told him there were other people in town who know who they are. Interesting as the night was, I started feeling disoriented and sad and painfully sentimental. My mood swings have been horrible lately. The Quest for Salt made it all better though...
It's been a pretty lazy day... hot and rainy, so I figured I'd wait until later when I was ready to go out to shower and change clothes. I just realised I have a massive rip in the back of my pants though and I wonder when/how it got there and if I was showing my ass to everyone at the concerts last night. With my luck...
I talked to C earlier also. That went well. I think enough time has went by that it would be nice to see her again and maybe it will all work out this time for us. A lot of things have been happening lately to remind me of her. I look at S and see her. It's really weird.
Anyhow, Kelli and I are going to see a Neil Diamond cover band tonight just for shits and giggles. We'll be seeing the real thing in October. Mmmmm... have a good weekend guys.

I had a nice weekend. I miss having my own computer though...
*On Friday night, Kelli and I went to see Denny Diamond and the Longfellows: a tribute to Neil Diamond (thank you Jason!!!) and we danced our arses off. Then we returned to Jonathan and Rachel's for Poker Night and some wonderful hot wings.
*Saturday night Kelli, Chris and Mikey came over for dinner and my first attempt at grilling by myself was a success! I was very pleased.
*Sunday night I got to make dinner and hang out with some friends... poor K was sick though :( I got home around 11:30 that night and had this huge energy burst... decided I'd go running (for an hour!) and talked to mah Kimmie, then spent another 2 or 3 hours rearranging furniture and sorting and putting away stuff I've moved in. I finally crashed around 5:30 am.
*Yesterday we saw Madame Butterfly and went down to the World's Fair Park to see the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra and fireworks. It was really beautiful and I had a great time.
Despite some pretty icky situations that have come up lately, I think overall I've come closer to finding contentment. For the first time in I don't know how long, I can think of things that make me happy and that are accessible. My friends have manners and are intelligent. I look up to them because they're bettering themselves and not stagnating. They are considerate and inspiring. This is all very new to me.
