slacker anyway
So, actually I am a slacker. I should be commenting on some poetry. Or emailing a couple people. Or, well, hell, I should be sleeping just now, I'm already down from 8 hrs of sleep before tomorrow. But it should be a longish drive down to Clinton Co (our new jobsite) and if needs absolutely be, I could snooze on the way down there.
Goin' to Toussaint with Mom last night was an absolute blast. The oddest part wasn't drinking sitting next to Mom -- been used to that for a bit now, though not usually drinking any more than I "should" -- but rather the fact that I had a designated driver, and so didn't have to cut myself off at a certain point like I usually do. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't like, smashed or anything. But without a DD, I would have stopped three, four -- maybe even five beers before I did.
Feeling a bit better about how the drive to FRFF is going to stack up -- now if I can just nail down with Talcott if he is indeed going, and if he is (I think he probably is) what time he'll be able to get off work on Thursday. Really really looking forward to it, actually. Mom asked tonight if I thought it was going to be worth it. I think about FruCon, and driving (or, to be fair, more often so far) taking the train up to Tronno in February. I think about what that time is like for me.
I really expect FRFF to be worth it. And I really hope I'm not disappointed. I'm trying not to expect too much. I don't think it'll be like FruCon can be. If only by virtue of the venue, and the differed population, and, well there's a bunch of things that'll be different. I'm just hoping that it has a few important things in common. Just please universe, let me win on this one. Let this be the weekend I need it to be. I don't want too much, just to not feel too terribly out of place. To sing, and to be happy, and be with people who for some bizzare reason tolerate me being there and thinking I almost belong. Sleep out in a tent, states away from home, and see live music, and be around happy people.
That isn't too much, really. Is it?
