There are a lot of lj-users in this post.

Somewhere in the course of this weekend (which was not long enough, I mean, really, two days? Come on!) I did a bunch of stuff, though looking back I can't really see where the time went. This is likely to bore everyone to tears, including myself, but on the off chance that you're one of those people who sits around at work desperately clicking LJ for something to do, I'm happy to oblige.

On Friday night, Jen and I went to dinner with doulamel, and then went to Union to meet up with loudestprincess (addicted to card games) and lemur68. We ran into nowatpeacebrad and ebeth and some other kids. Later, after a phone call urging us out, we went to meet crushinator and tandex at Coffee Table. The Mels showed up later, too. Heh.

Elsewhere in the weekend, I found clothes to wear to Carina's wedding. (Note to self: buy wedding gift!) Clothes shopping was the most miserable experience of the week, and I am forever indebted to Jennifer for enduring with me. So I have clothes. They're not nearly dressy enough for a wedding, but at this point, everyone should be glad that I'm not wearing cargo pants. So there. I had the stamina to clothes-shop only because earlier that morning I had a very insightful, deep, and wonderful conversation with Jen about gender and ourselves and I learned that some of the things I thought I knew about her were assumptions. And I was wrong. And it's awesome to reveal ourselves to each other. So after the dredgery of clothes shopping, I went back to Coffee Table with prettyvacantone and we caught up on things for a while (I think sometimes Brandie and I forget that we can talk seriously until we do.), and later went back to my apartment and watched Girl. It was... okay. Brandie's a much better groupie (Band Aid?) than Dominique Swain. I did something I don't usually do (turned on IM), and chatted for a bit with kungfoogirl, tobereal, laurajones, and another Laura. Then I called Kelli and tortured her with sexual pictures of Sesame Street koosh balls (Thanks, auntiesiannan!).

Yesterday I got up on the wrong side of the bed, and grumped to the laundromat with Jen. Then I got into a heaping dallop of an argument with Jen and ruined all chances of her getting thesis work done. Then I sat in Goodale Park to staff the Faith Mission table at the Homelessness Awareness Concert, and she joined me later and that was nice. We drove Coworker Jennifer and Tiffany back to their car downtown and then had dinner at Aladdin's. I love their vegetarian chili. Mmmm. Jen and I got home, unwound, had a nap, and then went grocery shopping. (I can't tell you the last time I had food in the house.) We watched Chutney Popcorn (on doulamel's recommendation) and then went to sleep. Oh! And in the middle of the movie, there was this song, and I was like, "Hey, this sounds like Frogpond." And it /was/! I am so obsessed with Frogpond currently. (Thanks, wasted_breath!)

Jen's still sort of congested, so she was breathing really loudly and I slept on the couch. With Daedalus on top of me. After he jumped from somewhere else. Oof. I'm so stiff. And tired.

It's that kind of day. It's Monday morning and I haven't even gotten to work yet, and I'm already thinking about how I get to leave early on Friday, and have next Monday off. Agony!

Hey, I was going to email you but I'll respond instead. I saw in the Columbus Community you had expressed some interest in that ladyfest meeting thang at Victoria's Midnight Cafe. You goin? I'm thinking about it and would definitely be more into it if I knew someone else there. Yes, that's being a follower, gak, but ah well. Lemme know!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd thought about going. I'm trying to remember when it is. Some night at 8pm. Tuesday? Thursday?

Re:

[grrlpower.livejournal.com]

Tuesday. I work til 8 so I'd be a bit late. Thurs I wouldn't be able to make it at all (class til 10) :)

How girly is this?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I'd go tomorrow if you were going.

Re: How girly is this?

[grrlpower.livejournal.com]

sure. I'm excited about it actually, I wanted to go to Ladyfest midwest back in 2001 and was looking at the one they're havin up in Canada this summer. Also I haven't done any sort of event-planning/organization for years.. and it seems to me you've done lots before so it'd be coolio if you were involved too!

Re: How girly is this?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Just what I need, more commitments! HA!

I have Secret Date Night on Tuesday, but I'll be at Vic's at 8. Whee!

Re: How girly is this?

[grrlpower.livejournal.com]

Ok, cool. well we can always check it out and see if it's somethin you're interested in.

[shadist.livejournal.com]

I do hope everything worked out with Jen and you.

Re: How girly is this?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Ditto.

See you tomorrow!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Of course.

Greatest thing in my life, she is.

Re:

[shadist.livejournal.com]

*smile*

I am starting to feel the same way about a diffrent Jen.

Re: How girly is this?

[grrlpower.livejournal.com]

yuppers!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I do hope you're pacing yourself. I know both of you have a lot going on.

Re:

[shadist.livejournal.com]

I am doing that the best I can.

It really quite scary for both of us. The fact that I do love her, the fact that she does love me in return.

Also the fact that everything seems so natural with both of us, we are both so comfortable with eachother. . . so alike in so many ways.


And what kind of Pacing did you have in mind?

[prettyvacantone.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad we got to hang out on Saturday. I had been thinking about you a lot lately..that I never get to see you, and I sincerely missed your company. Thanks for listening to all my teenage girly girl drama, and making me feel better that at least there's one groupie in the world worse than me...even if she only exists in MovieLand. Hopefully next time I get to see you I won't be nearly so needy.

[zuzubailey76.livejournal.com]

Gah! You do this to taunt me, I know. I will have you know I am catching up to you, my friend.

Note the following: Last week, I played phone tag with planewalker. We were planning to get together, but never seemed to have the time. I did, however, spend a lot of time with dolphingirl99 and pantagruel. Good conversationalists, both of them. I then left goldfishfrank alone with a feeder to come home for the weekend and hang out with redthread. [Stopping by Oberlin to see eengah, of course.] For a hermit, I've been quite sociable lately!

[I'm working my way up to smurfchickness!]

[prunesnprisms.livejournal.com]

You never mention my name in your posts. :P

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

You are my favorite teenage fangirl. Especially because you're my fan. And now there's a picture of you stuck to my computer. Yay!

You should hang out with me more. Yup.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

And I secretly confess my love of prunesnprisms.

(p.s. I mentioned your name on April 28th (http://www.livejournal.com/users/smurfchick/350074.html).)

I'm so proud!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I have to tell you that I think goldfishfrank is my favorite LJer ever.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

See email. :)

Re:

[shadist.livejournal.com]

the one you sent or a new one?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I mean, our impending email conversation.

I won't likely reply to the new one until tomorrow at the earliest. :)

Re:

[shadist.livejournal.com]

Not a problem at all Milady.


Hummm you can respond to LJ quicker than email right?

*looks thoughtful*

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Milady

*cough*

(Sometimes I respond to LJ comments faster, because they require less thought. The longer LJ comments, like the one you sent me eons ago, sit longer.)

Re:

[shadist.livejournal.com]

Oops. . . its a bad habit.

Re:

[shadist.livejournal.com]

Sorry.

Re:

[shadist.livejournal.com]

The point I was going to make before I screwed up was going to be this.

*smiles*

If you don't check email often but do check LJ more often I was/am/could make a new group with just you in it and we can comunicate there as compaired to email.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Nah - the problem isn't that LJ comments happen more often, it's just that I can put less thought into them. ;)

Re:

[shadist.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

Ok I will wait for email then.

:)
