dreaminghopeGood weekend, but crazy.
I honestly don't remember Friday night. No idea what I did.
Saturday: Cleaning, packing, baking. Then off to Topless Wish Faeries, which was wonderful and fun and magical and exhausting. Maybe more on that later in its own post. Then to Illuminaires after that, until way later then I should've stayed up.
Sunday: Cleaning at Shannon and Dallas' old place. Their new place is gorgeous - congratulations guys! Then Silver Spiral Lammas in the evening.
Had a little nervous breakdown on Sunday night, just getting overwhelmed with all the moving, Gathering and work related things that have to get done in a very short amount of time. Russ calmed me down, and we got a lot done Monday night, which helped a lot. I also managed to get some Gathering stuff done, so everything remaining on that is actually dependent on other people finishing their stuff first. Hopefully that'll all get done on Wednesday night.
Just an apology, partially in advance: I'm not on LJ much these days. I read about four days worth of posts today, but hardly commented on anything. Then I'm away for the long weekend, and my home web access moves to the new house on August 5th, while the computer may not move for a couple of weeks. All in all, I won't be a good LJ friend for the next couple of weeks.
OK, I'm going back to packing.

Date: 2005-07-27 07:01 am (UTC)I'm catching up on my flist right now, so there's a real possibility that you explained that in a previous post that I haven't yet seen. If you didn't, however, I must ask that you tell us what you refer to.
Best wishes on he moving process.
:D

Date: 2005-07-27 05:24 pm (UTC)Topless Wish Faeries is a Vancouver tradition. We're not actually sure how long it has been happening, as the previous Faerie Queene (who "retired" this year and passed her crown on) can't remember when she started the tradition. This was my second year.
Every summer there's this massive lantern festival, Illuminaries, in a park in East Van (sort of the funky, hippy, artsy part of town). It starts at about 8 PM, but lots of people are in the park all day, setting up installation pieces, having picnics, etc.
In the late afternoon before the festival, a troop of topless faeries, men and women, go through the park granting wishes. We get all dressed up in all kinds of faerie costumes and homemade wings with lots of glitter and body paint. It is a lot of fun. I'm sure to do a post about this year's experience soon, because it is one of those things I like to remember.
THAT ...
