thedarksiren2What a F&^*$#% CRAZY weekend it has been.
Friday I met up with deep-voiced Kevin for breakfast. It was nice to see him, to just sit and talk to and listen to him. He shared a wonderful short-story he wrote, and then expanded on it to the point where I didn't want to leave -- I just wanted him to keep telling me the story, to keep telling me where it came from within him. He's this incredibly talented, creative person whom I wish i had more time to know better. Then again, I am allowed to know what I am allowed to know, I guess, so why fret over something I cannot control, right?
riiiight.
After, I went to CCC for a tutoring session with Kira, and by some blessing of some god/ deity-thinger, she decided to only ask me to finish the chapter of theory I am in before I leave, take the test this Tuesday and then be done until I get to Rome.
9 days.
heh, NOW today makes sense to me.
well, kinda.
Race to Parma, practice #3 with Desiree...it won't get any better. No one will know anyway except for the few other music students we know will be there.
Home-bound...what to wear, what to wear...Friday was hot, muggy, perfect day for the make-up to sweat off my face, into my eyes, stinging, blurring a bit of my vision. I wiped it off, helped pack up Fairuza and Jay's truck with artwork and musical equipment and then we were off to the Phantasy.
Setting up began a bit chaotic, but then people just started moving, and there was so much amazing artwork up on the walls by the time we were all done. People brought so much equipment to help out, and then I realized that the one guy, Dave from Save Your Heroes, I knew him from Brady's in Kent. We met doing open-mic night there years ago...an almost surreal reunion, really. He was a tremendous help though, being the one person who really had any clue (to my knowledge at that point, anyway)
how to put up the sound system David K. had brought. I think we'd have been up a creek had he not been around to help.
The crowd wasn't huge, but it was apparently better than last year's Night Gallery. I saw so many people that I might not have seen before I leave, which made me very happy. I was super-excited that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
renwick showed up with his art, and several pieces that I hadn't seen before no less! It was just great seeing his work and him after much too long a time. I miss the boy with the sexy-mess hair!
I was bummed that I didn't get to meettheta_waves, which is totally ridiculous because I looked right at her and didn't even know it was her! LOL She took some way-silly pics of Jay's freaky baby dolls, especially the one with the black flaccid penis!LOL Maybe next time we'll both realize who we're looking at and have an actual conversation. I am so bummed we didn't get to that night.
My senses over the past few weeks have seemed more keen, except for my sense of smell, which is really odd. All my life my sense of smell has been the strongest sense I have had. But recently, my eyes and ears are much more in tune with the universe it seems, along with theoretical senses which I could elaborate on but have no way to do so other than to explain the other night.
My eyes were candied-apples, glazed in rapture and delight.
My taste-buds like hungry lotus blossoms, lips to the sky and overflowing.
My ears were raised and focused, much like a rabbit about to make chase
or a deer in headlights
My hands were eagerly reaching, lifting, touching, holding, hugging; chenille pillow scraping past each inch of the art, having to touch, to know more intimately what each artist touched until they grew as raw.
Wow, I am so tired. I have a great deal more to say, but I think I will just go to bed instead. More perhaps tomorrow...too many emotions in three days.
and only 8 days, 22 hours and 21 minutes.
yes, it's like that now.
and, I can honestly say I am a nervous wreck about the whole thing. But that, my friends, is for tomorrow.
sweet dreams...visit my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
abstractions baby and feed her well in the next eight days...I want to see what is going on beneath the surface of everyone's mind.
toodles.

Date: 2003-06-16 07:18 pm (UTC)It still doesn't quite feel real. I think it will once I am at the airport, like it'll come crashing down and I'll need a tranquilizer in order to sleep on the flight LOL
I will try to find a cyber cafe while I am there, although I highly doubt I will spend much time in it. There's so much to do while I am there, both at the operafest as well as in the area. Besides, I hear they are pretty expensive.
But...send me your snail-mail addy and I'll see about sending you a postcard, OK?

I just hate to see someone who is trying so hard to do good by herself feel guilty or worried about how that is affecting others, especially when it seems she needs to take care of herself the most right now. People who love someone will not condemn them for doing what she is doing, especially since it is what is best for her.

I agree completely.
She is having a hard enough time getting through all of this as it is.
She needs what support we can give.
And good advice like yours.
