"Do something..."
Sep. 10th, 2006 09:55 pmThis weekend was going to be my weekend of getting things done. It ended up being my weekend of socializing extensively. Jasmine, Sharai, Kat and I went to Westport yesterday. Kat and I ended up in one of the booths at the art fair for a total of about an hour. I'm not normally an art person, and it's difficult for me to find a painting I can stare at for a long time without getting bored, but these were truly amazing. The guy only does the one fair each year, and he doesn't have a website, which kind of sucks. I'm glad I found him at all, though.
Jasmine spent the night and we went to church this morning. We played the Pictionary-type game I learned at Chainsaw's party. Ann and Colin were there, and the four of us went to Jerusalem Cafe for lunch, then picked up Sharai and hung out at my house until Walk As One. (Hot tubs are fun in the rain.) I didn't actually go on the walk, because of miscommunications regarding where Kat was going to meet me, but I got to see Emily and Terrance and Ashley and Manal and Mikhala and Deth (Deth is running for city council!). Calvin was supposed to be there, but he didn't show. And there were oranges. Overall, it was a success. Except that Theis Park is not wheelchair-accessible, so things kinda sucked for Colin.
Ann had to go home, but the rest of us (Jasmine, Sharai, Kat, and me, plus Dan, whom we picked up at some point) went to my house and hung out until around nine. My entire family plus Spencer, Denis, and Christian were already here, so the place was pretty crowded for a while. I burned a bunch of copies of a Hellogoodbye album, because we listened to a song from it in Ann's car and everyone fell in love, and I burned Sharai a Muse mix. There was food. I showed off my gymnastic skills (whee, I can lean back into a backbend), taught Kat a couple of techniques I learned in karate class, and nearly fell asleep on Dan in the car on the way back from dropping off Jasmine.
Now everyone is gone, and I'm eyeing my "to do over the weekend" list with some trepidation. There are consequences to be paid for partying.
