Holy Effin' Crap, I'm tired.

The Solstice ritual last night was quite good. Mad props to axiom.

There were two concerts today. I was way more nervous before the first one. I did a double-take when I saw attackdesire in her concert clothing!

5minutelimit attended the first one. She used to sing in Aurora herself! After the concert I kept looking for her in the lobby, and when I finally gave up and went to the "green room" (the kindergarten building at Catlin Gabel), there she was! It was fun to see other singers recognize her and hug her. Lots of them asked when she was coming back. *lol*

The second concert, I had seven people in the audience! Cherie, Tyson, singswithtrees, my parents, ruby_wings, and sagcat sitting all by himself. I put in my contacts for that show, woot!

My poor dad. His view of me had a mike stand directly between him and my face. So, alas, there are no good pictures from my dad. He did, however, break a few rules--he's got video of our "encore" song.

The song Honolulu seems to be the universal favorite. Although after we sang Alleluia for the first show, I saw someone wiping their eyes in the front row. People like Ode to Joy too, but hearing people laugh during Honolulu just makes me grin.

After the show, I managed to find everyone and hug them all. I got flowers! sagcat stopped by Zupan's and bugged galactogogue at her place of work. Sho pretty. I likes me some gerbera daisies. They're in a vase now.

After the show my parents insisted on going to Rite Aid and buying a Christmas tree. They're putting lights on it. They've also broken tradition--so far, no argument. *lol*

Also, randomly, I now know how to say "orgasm" in American Sign Language. Yup.

In theory I will help decorate the tree. Hopefully I won't get cranky. The house smells nice though.

aaaaaaaaaaah after matt left i was kicking myself, looking around the store at all the flowers that look like vaginas. i could have made you an enormous YONI BOUQUET!!! dropped the ball on that one. next time, next time. hope those gerbs are working for you. that was fun, putting together something for someone i actually know.

pleeeeease describe this ASL sign, i'm totally curious.

So what are the berry-looking things? Are they rosehips?

Vulva flowers. Kick ass.

It's hard to describe. Hm. Make an "O" in finger spelling with your left hand. Put your right hand on it, flat, and then move it away from the "O" with kind of a waving motion. Hm.

ha ha, thanks. i'm glad there's waving involved in the sign.

the berries are hypericum, i'm rawther fond of them.

next time: orchids and calla lillies. seriously - those girls are kinda, um, forward.

How come I now feel like I was just delivering flowers from someone else? Which I coulda done by the way. "This is from me, and these vaginas are from galactagogue."

what! what! it was all you, man.

i'm gonna need you to stop by every day i work, just to break up the parade of fur-wearing rich bastards with a real human.

it's cool. It was unintentional, but it kinda worked out that way, and it's not a bad thing.

And if I stop by every day, can I make fun of the people in furs?

Since you're not the one working there, you could even say horribly rude things to them, like "Wow! I didn't know that fashion was so important to you, that you're willing to have animals get metal rods shoved up their asses and be electrocuted!"

Ooh, maybe that came off a tad harsh. *LOL*

I was pretty sure we had the whole fur battle won like 30 years ago. Fucking amazing the gaul people have.

it would be awesome if you just found a spot in the corner of the shop somewhere and made fun of everyone who came in. i'd tip you for particularly good disses. it would be sweet.

I knew orchids would be involved somewhere. Just no stinky lilies. Easter lilies literally give me a sore throat. Someone in my office had lotion with lily in it, and everyone was using it, and I had to ask the person who brought it to never bring it again!

It's less of a waving, and more of a fluttering, really. I'll have to show you sometime. Something I've learned, though; don't do random obscene sign language in public to show to your friends. You either amuse or piss off any nearby deaf people.
