24 days, 16 hours, and 34 minutes

I have gotten into complete Pennsic mindset now. I’ve actually tackled the gut-wrenching task of sewing with a gusto…. unfortunately, I’m stuck.. I have a chesise.. sort of.. but don’t know what to do from here. It’s very frustrating.

I spent a few hours in the last two or three days talking to Ari on the phone… She’s so much more fun to talk to without weird little doomcookie children on her heels every moment.

I even have come to the decision that I am going to drive to Mass. on the 1st of August to pick her up from the camp she’s going to. Then her, Chip and I will drive to her house near Philly and go to see the Rocky Horror Picture show that night… and then we’ll leave caravan-style with her family the next day to reach Pennsic.

So.. I only jsut find out today from Josh that Kat.. you’re on your own first week of Pennsic?? I’ll make sure to stop in OFTEN to keep you company.. and I’m sure I can get you some meals so you don’t have to cook every night. The extra company will be nice… very few of the crew is going to be there starting week 1.

I asked a certain wonderful Canadian friend to try to get me a certain age of ID for Pennsic… because I like having the freedom to go to whatever party I want, whether I choose to drink or no.

I think I’ll practice a measure of control, after my interesting drinking incident a Saturday not long past. I can’t rememebr if I wrote about it. Let’s just say that I have learned some measure of moderation.

Only some, though.

My sister is going to help me sew some more garb for Pennsic. I’m actually going to look vaguely feminine this year… merely because skirts are easier to sew than pants and tunics. Also, I feel like being a bit flirtatious, and I am so much better at being giggly and flirtatious when I’m wearing a skirt. I have no idea why.

And I can flirt all I want to, dammit. I’m not dating anyone (much to their loss, damn men). I doubt I’ll get into any serious relationship.. for the obvious fact that I’m done with long distance relationships, dammit.

Speaking of long distance.. Zak will most likely make it to Pennsic this year.. I’m utterly thrilled!!!

Everything about Pennsic makes me happier than anything on earth. Hurrah!

See you in 24 days, 16 hours, and 34 minutes!!
