The 1st of March has been and gone

I have a backlog of posts in my head (and a list of titles on the A0 paper on which my laptop rests at work, some of which make no sense to me anymore, hah), but I'm starting with what's freshest in my mind's eye.

Which would be last Saturday. That be purdy day right there, and no mistake.

I woke up at an ungodly hour (8.00), and went to the high-school, where I got to take part in a Forum Theatre workshop held by the EVS volunteers. The new kids... are not Impact kids. That much is clear. I have problems adapting to new environments. That is also quite clear, albeit a bit unexpected (for myself). But I did get that little jolt of anticipation for what the future holds, jolt without which my beginning-of-sprin would have been more than a little incomplete.

The weather was bliss - clear skies, sunny, but more than a tad on the coldish side. My iPod newly loaded with purdeh, purdeh V-kei music, I set off to buy Martisoare. Even though my plan was a bit foiled by the lateness of the hour at which I set out (I was also planning to stop by the Palace of Parliament for /another/ Martisoare exhibition), it was glorious to finally have myself to myself for half a day (work days are excluded. I'm too braindead by the time I get home to be able to enjoy doing anything but reading or gaming. On the other hand, I foresee that, as the day will keep growing longer, my joy for haunting the streets will return. I think I've just had enough darkness for the time being. And this, coming from a winter-born. The horror!)

So handsome boys were yelling in my ears, the wind was playing with my flowery skirt, and I was walking along Kiseleff, being a tad put off by the huge queue, reading while waiting in line (and getting into a small fight with the stupid bitch behind me, who, for the entire duration of the queue, kept yelling into her mobile. And I listen to music /loudly/, in general. It's good to be evil sometimes ^_^), then spending an obscene amount of money on the prettiest trinkets you've ever seen! (and I loled when I saw that "Daddy" [my boss, the GM] bought the exact same Martisoare I did. What were the bloody odds?!?!). I bought myself cotton candy on the way out of the fair, and walked along the sunny street at a sedated pace, dragging a huge and decidedly /heavy/ purse and stuffing myself full of pure sugar :D <- *grin with cavities*. Oh, and enjoying myself as I was returning everyone's "um, wtf?!" looks. It's good to be orange and purple and with your mouth full of cotton candy ^__^.

I barely got home and ate when it was time to leave again - back to the EVS-i, this time at their place, this time to play "mafia". Lovely, amazingly fun evening. I love this amazing group of people, they're very very dear to me right now :P. And yay! for the sweet wine and Jantine's mom's jellos! And generally, you know... "Baby shark" :))

It feels good. It also feels quick - I mean, time is passing much too fast, I feel. It's already March. And pretty soon it'll be "already May", then "omfg, it's August!". I can't think past August. But I'm doing my best :).
