Aug. 20th, 2001 12:20 ami'm caught up! ...and it's past midnight and i have to get up tomorrow. crap. you won't be getting a pennsic review for a while yet.
my fencing shirt is now offwhite, after going through the wash twice, with bleach. :P and another button fell apart off my doublet. two, actually, and two shirt buttons, but i'm missing an inside piece from one of the doublet buttons, i'll have to figure out some way to fix it, and then figure out how to glue all the bits together.
i was going to take another shower tonight, but it's already after midnight.
i haven't started unpacking, really, except for the smelly clothes.
jen slept over last night and we sat around while our fencing gear got washed, and then headed out around 3.30. not surprisingly, no one was at the park. if they weren't dead from pennsic, the rain (the ground was still wet) must have scared them off. so i went to green springs and got to meet olga. i ate olives and cheese and cookies and berries. yum. olga started to draw me something but didn't like it and then ran out of time. drewsteve went for a walk, and then came back when just olga and i were there and fell apart at us. i'd like to think i was able to help.
jen came over about an hour ago and got a hug, after venting over email. a lot of the things she had to say i'm sure i've said before, practically verbatim... it was about being homeless (not houseless). and about how when you're a different person with different groups, you start to wonder if there's a core underneath all the shells. no home because you ignore parts of yourself to fit in with different groups that you feel partially at home with.
i am incredibly tired. i should probably get a new pair of contacts. i am sunburned, and sore, and yellow/brown/purple in places. i suppose that means i had a good time. :)
