summer update
so i've been home for over a month now and have yet to properly update. let's see...
i'm quite busy which is not surprising. much of my energy has been going towards carver people which i'm pleased about. a lot of time with michelle, ben, lili and leah. i hear that kate poole is home now too. we must execute our intended method of spending our money this summer. sculpture barbeque is on thursday. cypressi made a new grill and is growing back his facial hair for the occation.
yesterday ben and lili came to a king meeting and took headshots and portraits for us. at first i was a little nervous because i wanted it to be a positive experience for them and i wasnt sure how scatterbrained the boys would be, especially since it's pride month and there was a lot of business to attend to. but it went off smashingly and we all had a good time and afterward we went to kiss cafe and got lunch. then ben, lili and i got tcby in woodholme shopping center. i'm about to go drop off the film now.
speaking of the troupe, i performed last show and will be performing again this month. it was a lot of fun and a big adrenaline rush and i'm glad that i did it. now that the first real performance is over it'll just get easier. eddie, dix and i went to the great big the day after the may show and i got to see what the back back backstage drag world is. it's intense, man. lots of politics. it kind of reminded me of the mafia but in a glamorous kind of not bad way. it's hard to explain. i'm pretty into it though.
last thursday was shavuot. first i studied with david at beth tfiloh for an hour or so. we read midrashim about devarim. i like studying with him. then i meant to go to babus's and study with owen but i gravitated towards morah rosen's and ended up staying there. this year's theme was environmentalism in judaism. many of our conclusions were that the rabbis dont actually care about the environment as long as you're not bothering your neighbor. my soul loves those nights of just staying up and studying and discussing and praying with dawn. i felt bad that i semi-ditched my friends, but i was like a moth to a flame and that was where i needed to be.
i've been in training for my job for almost a week now. i think that i'm really going to like working at the ymca. everyone is really nice and is putting in their best effort to make this a great summer for all. it's really interesting playing camp games with people who i have never played them with/have never played before. saturday we played mafia. it was splendid and everyone loved it. wednesday i'm going to teach one is the sun to the group. i like that little is there too. i think that we are somewhat of a comfort to each other, but we (and by that i mean i because she has better boundaries than i do) arent clinging to each other. it's just good to be in a camp setting and get louise flashbacks and for someone to know what they mean. i'm proud of myself for my decisions about this summer.
babus is leaving on wednesday. i dont want to deal with that yet.
hannah is leaving in a couple of weeks. i'm certainly not dealing with that at all.
i've also been talking to a boy who will be here in less than a month. we're going to cook dinner together and cuddle and actually get to finish a conversation before his phone cuts out. it should be an interesting time.
oh, and ari will be home (kind of sort of) in like a week. that's some good stuff. i like that kid. and dinah got home yesterday and i'm going to dc this weekend and we're going to make shabbos and go to dc pride. then the weekend after is baltimore pride. leah gave me new rainbow suspenders.
let the good times roll.
