i seem to have caused myself to become too used to being monogamous. i have allowed myself to become complacent and have absorbed too many societal monogamy-assuming opinions to the point of developing jealousy-type issues that i never really had before and that really piss me off because they are so very unreasonable. gah. i am determined to figure out how to become happily polyamorous again. i'm pretty sure i can do it, i just have to clear the cobwebs out of that part of my brain. it'll be good for me.
in other news, i spent the weekend in Pennsylvania, in order to go to the PA RenFaire. a huge group of us went [total 17, 19 if you include people who are currently living there], and it was grand fun. i think i got a bit peopled out by Sunday evening, but that is unsurprising, given that whole introvert thing. i tend to need to take breaks from parties, even parties i'm greatly enjoying. once during high school, i took an hour long walk in the middle of winter away through a mostly unfamiliar neighbourhood in Golden Valley, MN in order to get away from a party for a bit. i named all the trees. not that i can remember what i named them anymore.
unfortunately, i did not find the cloak i was looking for there. and i really need one, to use as a winter coat. and i know which one i want, except i don't remember anything about it except most of what it looked and felt like and that i tried it on at King Richard's Faire probably 2 years ago. and i know it's not a Half Moon cloak, as i looked at their website and i'm pretty sure that its just not that style. argh. so, i'm now trying to do this insane rearrangement of my Thursday, Sunday, and Tuesday schedules just so that i can go to King Richard's Faire on Sunday and look at cloaks. it does rather amuse me that if i make it there on Sunday, i'll have gone to three different RenFests/Faires in three different states. i find that i still think the Minnesota one is the best, but that may be simply because i get to see people i know working there.
i really hope i make it there and find The Cloak, because otherwise i'll have to find and purchase a winter coat, which really just sucks.
i need to acquire some paperbacks to read on the way to work. i go through them so quickly, it's actually fairly difficult to keep supplied.
i have been informed that i may be in one of the pictures on the new Dar Williams cd. clearly, i must check out this rumour by immediately purchasing the cd. :)
