Not Going to C5 Support Group <rant, poll>

I'll get to go. Nope. Not only do I have the complications of my job, now
that I am seriously dating someone; there is no way I could possibly go
without him. *sigh* Perhaps next year...
there's always next year...
So what's everybody that's not going doing?

>So what's everybody that's not going doing?
I'm not going mainly 'cos I have tentative major travel/moving plans for this
summer + autumn and I really can't afford it...but I can't say I'm too upset
about missing it. I can't think of anybody going who I'm dying to meet, I'm not
a huge fan of the bands that are playing (well, I like Clan of Xymox, but I've
heard they're not so good live), I *really* detest the authors that will be
present...New Orleans would admittedly be very cool, but I think I'd rather go
on my own sometime. I just don't really deal well with big convention-type
things, I don't think, even if it does involve a bunch of goths. ;)
But...if I can figure out a way to go to autumn Whitby, I will be a giddy girl
indeed...

Much as I would've loved to go, I'm not.
It's not even the principle of the thing; it's that it's in New
Orleans, which is my One True Love as far as cities go.
What I'll be doing instead is no doubt far more intriguing than
attending a Convergence;
I'm getting new tires put on my car.
I'm going to Belmar for a couple of hours to watch the Atlantic shimmy to
and fro.
I'm going to sulk because Emily will be out of town with her family.
I'm going to listen to a new Slowdive bootleg that came in the mail
today.[1]
I'm going to maybe get a domain of my own.[2]

Large groups of people make me want to find a corner and not talk to anyone but

Yep, I'm interesting.

The only one I've ever been to is the one I organized. :) I'm not sure that
even counts.

Spring Cleaning. Yippee! Plus probably regular weekend stuff... groceries,
laundry, maybe a movie. And rollerderby... I cannot miss rollerderby.

I will perhaps clean. Maybe unpack some more (those boxes repack themselves every
night- I swear it!) I'll probably just end up going shopping for a lot of household
things that I really can't afford, but have always wanted. Oh Yeah! I'm going to
paint all of my crappy old wood furniture black. Yup.
Then I'll probably go hang out at the local club on Sunday. I walked in last week,
the lights were going- but no music! They were alll watching The X-Files on the TVs
at the bar.

Makeing easter dinner if any body shows up.
I might go to my moms but I bet her boyfriend will be there and I really do not
care for him or how she acts around him.
Maybe a easter egg hunt in the cemetery down the street. At least those friends
can not get up to leave.

I think your right, I keep finding more boxes full of stuff that I swear I
unpacked already. I moved 2 years ago ;-)
I think my easter is going to be an all-round non-event. No useable wheels (got
to do work to my car) and nobody's coming to visit. Oh well.

Rufus will be visiting me this weekend, so I'll be kind of busy,
but I do intend to stick around a.g. and post as much as I can. Let's show
that we can keep this place going on our own. You have three days to start

My sister is coming to visit for the weekend. Shes a frosh architecture
major and is so *fashionably* lonely and depressed at her school. So we
agreed to take her in and let her join us for Easter (always has been a
pretty significant holiday to our family).
Hubby was going to let me and a pal go to C5, but once I found out that
I was expecting baby #2, I told him that I needed to stay around here.
Also I needed to save some $$ and if I went to C5 I *know* I would have
little self control. I really wouldn't have gone though if he didn't
come with me...but then again it is Easter weekend and like I said its a
holiday that is very big with both our families. We also thought of
taking a family vacation (with AJ) to NOLA during C5 and possibly
attending some of the daytime activities that would be acceptable for AJ
to go to, but then we thought "Nah, need to save $$".
Someday though...someday.

Thursday - sleeping in...

Saturday - SCREW New Orleans (no offense); I'm getting up early, slamming down
a couple cups of ridiculously strong coffee, and a friend and I are heading to
Manhattan for a weekend of what I hope will be filled with unrepentant
debauchery and wanton hedonism...
Sunday - sleeping in...

Well, right now I am reading a.g. and missing my favorite
regulars right now.
*waves to the gals hoping they'll see this when they get back*
Friday, I will be in physical therapy and comparison shopping
with my mother. She's taking me to all the local stores to
price items I need for my posture and sunprotection since
the damned car accident that is STILL having an effect on
my life five months after the fact.
Saturday, I will be reading a.g. and hoping my favorite regulars
are having a good time. I will also be hoping that time goes
quickly until they get back. I will also be working on
finishing up my kickass bodice for the next SCA campout in
two weeks. I'm hand sewing the thing, so it should be done
by then.
Sunday, I will be working on crocheting that wool shawl so
I don't freeze my ass off at that upcoming event. I haven't
touched it since last summer and I merely started it then, so
it will be a miracle if I have it done by then.
Maybe some gentleman will take pity on me and loan me his
cloak ;)
I will also be attending Divergence. I didn't know if it was
happening tonight, so I worked on my homepage instead.
It's alot better than it was when I started it a year ago,
but I still need to add more content. It's getting there.

Friday: Went to see Love & Rockets. Very good show, they played a nice mix
of new and old (which, joy of joys, included "Yin Yang and the Flowerpot
Man"). All looked wonderful, especially Daniel who's wearing his age quite
well. ;) A great show, however, the opening band - a musical plague
called Lenola - sucked. I dunno if they were local (Philly) or on tour
with L&R, but they were the most mismatched opening act that I've seen
since Spiritualized opened for Siouxsie back in 1995.
Saturday: Spent all day listening to CDs and playing Diablo on my
husband's laptop. After a trip to the cinema proved fruitless (all Matrix
tix were sold), we hung out with some of the spouse's relatives who are
visiting from Manila.
Sunday: Plans include Easter dinner with more relatives and watching good
Sunday night TV like the X-Files and HBO's Sopranos.

Thursday: Hooked off work at noon and met Greg for lunch. Went to the One of a
kind Craft Show where not especially much of anything was one-of-a-kind. More
stuffed bunnies and children's flowery dresses than the eye could see. And
jam. A fuckload of jam. Ended up not buying anything... except jam, but did
find a few things I wanted, in particular a sculpted metal spiderweb necklace
where the web sits across the upper chest and the spider sits on one shoulder.
But at $135, I figured it might be better to think about it a bit first.
Thursday night we hung out with our downstairs neighbors drinking spiked
coffee and chatting.
Friday: I hate religious holidays. Not a damn thing open... watched a "freak"
episode of Jenny Jones about goths and punks that wanted to be famous, then
rented a couple of movies. Watched Homefries.. it's cute, not fabulous, but
pretty cute. Got cranky when my fave Rollerjam team lost to Greg's fave team.
(I'm addicted, what can I say?)
Saturday: Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Met a friend and his new girlfriend
for lunch, then wandered along Queen St looking for fabric. Bought books.
Didn't buy the $90 Leigh Bowery book I really wanted, but will probably go
back for it. (Bowery was a performance artist/club kid in the 80's and used to
appear in magazines like Details and Paper, back before they went all
mainstream.) Found the TaeBo tapes for sale at Blockbuster! Woohoo! Went to a
friend's place in the evening wher we ended up listening to Steinski and the
Mass Media, how old skool! Smoked pot for the first time in about 5 years and
it hit me like a ton of bricks. Had to stop for donuts on the way home. :)
Sunday: Dammit, I will clean out my closet today! And I've got fabric to cut.
Plus there's "Easter" dinner to cook. But it's just Greg and I so it won't be
a big fuss.
All in all, just a regular weekend, pretty much. Admittedly I have spent some
time looking at Ruhiel's and Christine's C5 photos and longing to be there.
<pout> But I hope they're all having a good time, and someone better bring me
back some Blackened Voodoo!
