foibey and I went to Manchester Bi Fest and I found it really rather 'fun' orientated, which made me feel uncomfortable and somewhat out of place. However
bethanthepurple was there (only the second time I've met her IRL - fantastic woman), and she helped a fluffing lot. I did lots of minor panicking throughout the event, and
bethanthepurple took me for walks and was nice even when I couldn't speak.
Met
flippac and her partner which was great.
flippac also helped me to not panic. Other peeps too; but I found the socialising even more difficult than usual. I think this is due to the pressure I am under looking after
foibey. We need some support - we'll be trying to access that this week and in general. Tired now, hence not particularly well-written post.
Amusing/frubbletastic/voyeurtastic to watch .... and .... getting it on in front of rather a large audience... (giggles).
Tourist info: we stayed in Hatters hostel
http://www.hattersgroup.com/ was really nice and friendly, plus they played good music in reception (I think we heard Nirvana and The Smiths).
I was sober - yay!
