Weekend Update

i do realize that it's Wednesday.

The weekend was good and fun and the visuals were... well... interesting. Ate meals with S and other dear folk i knew, and a couple of new ones. Attended a panel about "Paranormal Romance Novels" which was cool, and another on "What Not to Wear to a SciFi Con". Considering what i was planning on wearing to the dance that evening i thought it was a good idea (prudent, if nothing else). *see pic above* Sounds harmless enough, yes?

Ha! Never thought an actual... um... heated debate/arguement/conflict would happen... but it did. Heh, i was amused. One woman stated that she would take it upon herself to tell the "offendingly attired" person just what she thought of the get-up, and then proceeded to give us an example. wow. Where DO people get the idea that they are imbued with this weighty responsibility? i can't imagine.

In any case, S gave her an ear-full (probably a deaf one, but nonetheless) of a LOT of sense... how the convention as an entity is the responsible party, the venue's role, etc... i added in the physical legalities which, thanks to my exposure to the D/s world, i am familiar with (dangly and private bits and girl nips must be covered, feet too if there's a food license in proximity). It's a fairly liberal state where this is concerned! Ah well, it was the high point of the morning. LoL

Drumming was small but fun, the dance was enjoyable... not the music, just the people watching - and of course wearing what i was wearing!!

All in all a good time.... save one tiny thing...

i started getting a cold/sinus thing on Saturday evening. :( Begged off early and went to sleep. Got up Sunday and taught my classes, then to a Ritual planning meeting from 1-5 - came home to go to dinner with T, 1 & 2 and FINALLY to fall down.

Taking the best care of myself that i can. Taught last night, including a music session for 50 kids and then my private student. Had to laugh - i stood in front of the sea of kids and said "i'm sick and i'm in a bad mood - so behave!" Then of course i smiled sweetly and proceeded to sing and, well... cheerlead, energy raise... whatever it took.

Don't know if i'm on the up or the down swing yet.

As always... Time will tell.
