Missing my friends on this Halloween weekend
Man. Back in Birmingham I had a BLAST with my pallies. I had a month-long gig at Sloss Fright Furnace, where I was paid to dress up like a sexy freak and play with fire. It got stale sometimes when the crowd was boring, but I was with my best friend, thus happy. Another one of my friends throws a party every Halloween-- that must be happening tonight, I bet.
I went to visit last year because I couldn't stand the thought of missing out on all the fun. I ran a gig with Pyro Salto at Sloss and made it to the party too. This year... this year I stayed in Brooklyn and I'm BORED. Sick, and bored. I could have gone to some parties, but it's just not the same when you don't know everybody. (Note: I am an introvert to the end, but I managed to make lots of friends in B'ham, thanks to bf Celeste; that, and I know pretending to be an extrovert pays off.) I guess I'm homesick. Most people get homesick around the Christmas holidays, but not me- Halloween was the high tide of fun for me and mine. I miss everyone and everything.
Tomorrow is the big parade in the Village. I will be joining the Bear Posse on their bus. Safe, fun, seated drinking at a nominal fare- I just have to dress up as a bear. *sigh* It's just not the same, man.
