Whoa, there goes my weekend
--I should have updated earlier but I didn't. Oh well. Anyway, Bubblebrain came over with her mom from Montgomery so they would only have a two hour drive to New Orleans in the morning. That was fun, but Bubblebrain kept me up all night on Friday talking to me. Or I guess I should say we kept each other up, but she got a two hour nap in the car I'm sure...if there was room for that which it looked like there was. Hmm, it was nice catching up with her and everything. Apparently everyone is doing okay in Montgomery even if they think the curriculum at the church sucks (I warned them that it would but no one wanted to listen to me, blah).
--Then on Saturday we woke up and said good bye and about a minute later I was shuttled off to LeatherDragon's house to get into some medival garb. That's right, medival me. Heh. It was a lot of fun, I wore a ...burlap(?) tunic with brown trim, brown pants, a cream colored hat with a side flip, and my black cape. Apparently I looked pretty good in it so that's cool. We went to the Saint Martin Community Center at around 12 after everyone got their shit together (Leather dragon and her parents, Mohawk, Mohawk's sister, LazyAss, Ye Olde Wench, and Bienville). We hung out together playing backgammon and getting henna and looking at everyone's garb until about 4 or 5 when LazyAss, Bienville, and Mohawk left because it was getting dark and they were driving Mohawk's parents' car. They left a mess after making a summer-sausage and cheese man. You know...for vegetarians they sure did waste a lot of good sausage. I mean, I'm a vegetarian, but i see no need to waste good food when it happens to be meat..and summer-sausage is really awesome if you're into the meat thing. So anyway, they left and more people started showing up for the feast. People started sword fighting until someone's "sword" (basically a wooden tube reinforced with duck tape, hah) got broken over another person's knee. Let's see....at about 6 or 6:30 everyone who was going to feast was here and socializing or setting up their tables or helping out in the kitchen. I was kind of lost and afraid that my pants were going to fall down but I did help out as much as I could. The food was pretty good, they didn't have much for vegetarians but that was okay, LeatherDragon's dad made sure there was _something_ for us to eat. Hmm, probably the best stuff was the desert, but I guess that's a general rule of thumb. As the night progressed Ye Olde Wench became what she is now...Ye Olde Wench, as she flirted and I guess made out with "Wesley." I was a little surprised about this but good for her. I'm not really pissed off that she did that but it's kind of hard to tell what the reaction of the barony would have been if they had found out...which would have reflected on LeatherDragon's parents. I don't know, I also felt shunned and left out, like "Oh, you're a good friend but I would rather have this 15 minute fling than a good friend." I know that's not what she meant by that but that's what it felt like. Also the guy was kind of giving me bad vibes, don't ask me to explain them, they're a lot like the ones I got from Annoyo-Boy at church. So i don't know, but good for Ye Olde Wench. We stayed around for awhile and about the time the dancing started it was time to leave. So we found Ye Olde Wench, loaded up the car, got IN the car, and left. I decided it would be a good idea to stay the night at LeatherDragon's house and I did, we watched Rocky Horror. Unfortunately, I was so sleep deprived that I couldn't remember most of the call-outs and I was never very good with timing. By the end part of the movie i was getting bored with it (I knwo, sacrilidge but it's true). We woke up, got to church, stayed there for awhile, came back and I feel asleep for an hour or two. So that was it. That was my weekend. As much fun as it was, I didn't exactly do what I wanted to, which was hang out at home and sleep, but I feel it's important to force myself into activities with people that I might develope an okay relationship with. So, that was it, and it fun and I'll probably become an SCA person now....Who wants to help me pick a medival name?
