My weekend!
Apr. 27th, 2009 04:18 pmSo, this weekend I went to NEFFA. YAY! I decided to go the entire time without Vera. YA...oh, wait, BOO!
But! Before going, I set up my phone to receive twitter messages, from mom and the people who were gonna be at NEFFA, and more importantly, set it up so I could update my twitter from anywhere I got phone service.
Tweets are in italics, and ( under the cut )
So yes. NEFFA this year felt largely more like a convention than a dance event, but I'm pretty okay with that. I spent several hours doing multiple kinds of dance --I got to do a bit of swing with a really talented lead --he led me through a couple jumps and dips, which was rad.
Volunteering went reasonably well, if dull. Dancing was not enough but quite good what there was. People were utterly amazing --I should really make a point of talking to SpringIsWrath more often, as he is wonderful, plus keeping up with Jesse (known also as Boy-I-Kissed-At-Flurry) and
ncarraway.
Soyes! That was my weekend. More posting on more things eventually.

POSTSCRIPT: My twitter is here, if you want to actually follow it. Let me know offlist who you are, so I can follow you back!
1: I like boys in skirts, oh yes I do.
2: Tall. Painfully skinny. Long hair. I don't find everyone who fits this trope attractive, and there are certainly other tropes I go for hard (my height, something like twenty or thirty pounds more of curves than I have, dark hair, female -oh yum!) but both my dating track record and my eyecandy track record reeeeally like the gangly ones.
3: Pets, with the capital letter, are different from pets, without. The capital letter denotes ownership of some sort --it's very not my kink, but not to the level where I'd call it an antikink4 or anything. I find it a fascinating power dynamic, from both sides.
4: I feel that the most acceptable word for the opposite of a kink is a squick. But the word squick (and its original meaning)...well...squicks me, so I try not to use it. I'm working on finding a better word, expect post on this later.

May. 3rd, 2008 02:58 pmGood Stuff:
*I e-mailed Blue Canary (my ex-girlfriend) on a whim a couple days ago, and she replied in a nice long e-mail chock full of her usual brand of twisted silliness.
*It's free comic book day!
*It's also, apparently, Naked Gardening Day!
*The latter of those was told to me by Magus randomly calling and being all "Guess what today is!". Or, in short, I really like having impulsive friends.
*I wound up being dragged to the welcome dance last night for the highland ball that's happening this weekend. It was pretty much just a whole lot of SCD, which was awesome. Alsoalso, we ended off with Australian Ladies, which is still probably my favourite dance ever. (Although whatever it was we were doing on Monday that had the dolphin reels was kinda awesome --dolphin reels rock. Not as much as allemandes do, but still, a lot.)
*Alsoalso, BDan was there last night, which was cool, especially because BDan has the best birth name of absolutely anyone I know. Unrelatedly, at said dancing, there were exactly six people in pants. That's less than a set (usually) Gleehehehe! *bounce!*
(For reference, there were generally seven or eight four couple sets going at a time, and a fairly even male/female balance. Sorcy loves kilts, yes she does.)
*MST3K tonight!
*Good lord, you lot annhilated my lyrics meme. Or rather, you almost annhilated it --I expect once Tho finally gets around to it, two of the last three will suddenly and magically be guessed. As for the last one...go see the last badstuff thing.
*************
Bad Stuff:
*Finals
*Packing
*I left my coat at the danceplace last night, hurr.
*I still have a cold, make it *stop*
*All you people who got the rent lyrics right off the bat? Go listen to "tick, tick...BOOM!" It's awesome, by the same guy, and sounds a bit like Rent. Also, has the song 30/90, which is one of my current favourites.
ALLFORNOW!
