Kateryn
I said goodbye to Kat today. There was a going-away party yesterday, and that was good, but it was pretty impersonal, so I was really glad I got to see her today and say goodbye.
Kat, Andrea, Luther, Astrid, and I went to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in theatres today. If anyone is wondering, I recommend the movie very much so, at least if you're a turtles fan. It was cheesy and whatnot at parts, but then.. let's be honest, the turtles have always been cheesy. It did keep the spirits of the turtles very well, though, and one particular fight scene (you'll know it, on the roof, in the rain) was very cool. The plot was a little iffy, though, it felt sort of rushed, like the movie should have been longer, but whatever, I don't think the plot was really the point of the movie, it was more about the inter-character relations.
After the movie, we went and hung out in the Cottonwood Mall food court for a bit, then Andrea and I went and had supper at this cool Vietnamese place. The food was tasty. Then, because we couldn't think of anywhere to go for an hour before we were supposed to meet up at Kat's place, we just sort of drove over to a parking lot, watched the sunset, and spent a little time together. That was good. *At this point, Sleet spaced out and reminisced for two whole lines.*
Anyways, so then we went over to Kat's place. She was doing some packing still. The original plan was to play some Munchkin, but everyone sort of got sidetracked by reminiscing over various things, and so pretty soon it was time to go.
Oy.. I'm such a sap. It pisses me off sometimes. It took a long time to say goodbye. I felt a little selfish, really, but Kateryn's an important person to me, you have to understand. A lot of you who are reading this are in the SCA, and that's how you know me. You and I, we probably would have never met, if not for Kat, ok? It is her fault, see.
July 14th, 2004, I started in a training class at a new job (some of you know, and hate the place. I'll give you a hint, it starts with an 'S' and rhymes with.. bream. Yeah, like the fish.). Kat was starting in the same class. I thought she seemed like an interesting person, and tried to get to know her a little better. Found out about the SCA, and went to my first practise, not really because I was interested, but just cause I thought it would be an ok way to become friends with this new person. Met Richarde at my first practise, under the overpass in Lionsdale. Met Pierce and Tomas there, too, come to think of it. I actually introduced myself at the time as Madoc.
This past year (that is, 2006), she's been practically the only thing keeping me alive at events. If she hadn't been there I probably would have either starved, frozen, passed out from exhaustion, or worse.
We've had some good times, and some awesome times. Most of my favorite memories from 2006 are of hanging out with Kat. Her and I meeting up with Cordell at Sir Eddie's, eating crack-cookies and drinking whiskey.. Her and I coming back from some event, figuring, "Aw, what the hell? We don't need directions!" and getting lost, going in an hour-long freaking circle that lead back to that damned A&W! Gah! Stupid temporal marketing campaign..
Oy, the first time I met Astrid was while I was hanging out with Kat, well, obviously, them being sisters and all..
My point of view: Hanging out with Kat on New Years Eve, 'round three in the morning her parents get back, come say hi, and behind them is some weird little girl who looks sort of freaked out, then goes back upstairs.
Her point of view: Comes home on New Years Eve, sees some weird guy in her basement... What the hell?
Wouldn't have met Andrea if it weren't for Kat.
I've got no one to wrestle with or beat up on now, either. I have no urge whatsoever to throw any sort of blow at Andrea. Astrid would be too likely to actually get hurt, not because she's fragile or anything, but just because she wouldn't react at all and would just stare blinking at whatever I threw at her. Alejandro's too much of a girl, and would whine more than anyone else... Oy. >.<
So Kat gave Andrea a set of care instructions, and officially passed off her self-appointed 'charge'. I got all sappy and looked like a fool. And I won't see Kat again for over a year. Wow.. that last sentence was very hard to type out. Writing all this didn't help at all. I was really hoping it would, but now I just feel worse than before.. God I'm selfish.
Goodbye, Kat. I'm really going to miss you. You had better not do anything stupid, I mean it. If you get yourself hurt or anything, I'm gonna kick your ass, you know I will.
Oh.. shit. I've run out of tissue..
Look, I know you know I care about you, but I mean it, you come back in one piece.
I'm going to miss you. It's going to hurt sometimes. There are places and times that just.. aren't, without you there. You know them as well as I do.
See you in a year..
I'm going to miss you.
Goodbye, Kat.
