is it really friday?
ugh!
wednesday night was fantastic. we decided to stick to JUST fencing instead of alternating between that and heavy weapons for a bunch of reasons, but my main reason was to not further injure my tail bone. We learned a bit of the basics, got to play around a bit. i'm really excited to learn more and improve.

yesterday we spent trying to get ryan up to date on his ac electronics class, which basically meant doing a whole semester's worth of homework in one day. my brain is absolutely fried, but i think he's getting it at least passably. we're going to work on his labs tomorrow. it's hilarious that if this were my class i wouldn't grasp a concept to save my life. so we did that until 9 or 10pm before we headed home for sleep. i kept waking up from dreams of sinusoidal curves.

today i was supposed to go to nyc for a game show audition. i woke up sick and it was snowing like mad out, s i opted not to go. there's another one in 2 weeks, so i'll go to that one. i just got out of bed. still feeling a bit sick, but no longer puking. now im just angrily hungry...off to the kitchen to forage!

This weekend was, well....busy...
Friday night we went to Ryan's parents' house to play poker with his stepdad et al. I didn't do as well as the last time we played, but he came out $8 up, so not too bad. It had been decided earlier that his cousin was coming along to Saturday's SCA event, so as soon as we got home (aka 2am) I was put to work at the sewing machine making garb. bah! Eight squinty eyed hours later, he had an outfit fit for...well, a sleep deprived peasant. We we're, however, already running late and none of us had slept. Our only saving grace was Ryan's 7am Mcdonald's run. I'm pretty sure that's ALL we were running on. In any case, we headed out, but not yet to the event. We had two events that day if you remember correctly from previous posts.
Before the SCA event we headed over to Unbridled, an alternative wedding expo. It's great when three people show up at a wedding event. It'd even more fun when they can't really tell who is getting married. We got some really good ideas. That's the great thing about not really having a date and knowing it's sometime in the future...we have time to gather ideas. Oh, and free food is always good. We did have a bunch of people assume we're having a Renaissance themed wedding, which was really funny to just respond, "no, what makes you say that?" heh. I did come to one realization in this whole affair. Gods help the poor bastards we interview to photograph our wedding. Hah. We did see a few stunning portfolios though, so I'm optimistic we'll find someone. It might just take a few before we find one. :)
Once we were done there we headed over to the Winter Brawl where we gathered information about fencing and heavy weapons fighting. OOOhhhh I'm excited! That's really all I can say, hah. We spent some time talking to the Baroness and gathering random contacts. It was a good time. We had planned on seeing a movie afterwards, but we all decided we'd be paying $10 a pop to take a nap in a movie theater, so we rented a few and watched movies until we passed out.
Yesterday we were supposed to have the baby, but Ryan was sick and afraid of getting Lyam sick, so we slept until it was time for gaming at Rich's.
Today I'm supposed to be getting some things done...but honestly I don't have the energy.
I've been up and down all afternoon, and it sucks. All it takes is one offhand comment from someone to spoil my manic. I hate days like this.

I'm going to go find something to do...

(I know I didn't quite fix the look of my site..but Chris is the one who does this kinda stuff...I just wanted to make it legible!)

So I got all gussied up, with tiara as requested, and we headed out to dinner. I still didn't know where we were going, but we ended up at the restaurant at the hotel the holistic fair was at in Reading. The food was wonderful, and it was cooked at our table, which was really neat to watch. They gave us a cute little heart cake, too!

Ryan really liked his poem and the chocolate anatomically correct heart I gave him (complete with a little sign that said "This heart of mine is ever thine". It won over the lungs that would say "You take my breath away" hah). I'd ordered Good Luck Chuck, but it hasn't arrived yet. That was the movie we saw on our first official date.

Today I'm making him pants for the SCA thing we're doing tomorrow. Poker at his mom's tonight. Baby and Serenity on Sunday. full weekend. Now if only I could lift shit!

cake!

So it's already been a doozie of a day. I finally got to call my dad and grandma. It seems the whole ordeal was because I showed *gasp* a breast! *oh no, you filthy whore!* Heh, if she only knew anything else about my life...a breast really wouldn't be that bad now, would it? In any case, I worry about my dad. It' not often he enters the realm of hapless-hopeless-complain-lament, but today he seemed really depressed. I got reprimanded for not calling earlier (as I figured I would), and honestly I don't know what to say to him. I'm not used to my dad being like this. He's my dad. He's Dave. He's a generally upbeat guy even when things are destitute. I think this tinnitus thing was the last straw. Everyone please keep him in your prayers and good blessings.

I still don't have any clue where we're going for dinner. I love surprises! I got my present last night. it's a massage shower brush thing. I can't wait until we have a warm enough shower to use it!

Anywho, I've got a few things to accomplish before dinner tonight. Happy valentine's day, everyone! I love you all!

Just for reference...if anyone tells you to make a tea from wormwood, I don't care what it's supposed to remedy I assure you whatever you've got isn't half as bad as ingesting a tea made from wormwood. Ugh! We almost both threw up from it.

In other news:It's a miserable shushy mess outside today. It started last night as one big sheet of ice. I know because we were carsledding down Manayunk Ave on it. This morning it's slushy and nasty and cold! Ugh. The dog had a time goin out today. In any case...gettin my hair cut today. That will be the highlight. Stuff to prep for tomorrow. I had lots of weird dreams last night. That's not what the tea was supposed to do. I hate when I have a dream about an ex. They're never even sex or reality based. They're always something completely irrelevant to anything. This one was a Model mayhem meet and greet, and he was there taking pictures at a group shoot, and he was naked, so I decided not to shoot anything because I didn't want to be near my naked ex. So odd. Also had a dream about Ben, my guitar instructor from Pinole. I keep losing his number. I miss Ben.

I guess that's about it. My wrist hurts really badly, and the doctor says it's an ulner neuropathy which mens it's not really going to go away. I just nee to learn to deal with sharp stabbing pains in my hand and wrist. Great.

In any case, I'll talk to you all later
