Leaving for Pinewoods!
Jul. 12th, 2013 01:31 amAll week I have been super-excited for Pinewoods, and suddenly POOF! It's here! Oh gods, I'm not ready yet!
(For those of you looking at me funny, saying "but Kat, you said you were packing last night, you should totally be ready now", yeah, that's not how it works at all. You guys know that, jeeze!)
But at any rate, I seem to have something like eighteen bags, and twenty hula hoops, and a fan and a hoodie and some sandals and a paddle ball game, and that's all pretty good except for the part where I have to try and cram it all into jere7my and Kendra's car. I expect this to be exciting!
I'm feeling nothing but bubbly about Pinewoods this year --I've pretty much cut out all the plausible polydrama I have some years, by stopping dating so many people. Oh sure, there will be lots of cute people there, some of whom I would like to kiss, but I am crossing my fingers that I have mostly smoothed out any relevant messy feelings that still remain.
And I made a list of addresses, and theoretically maybe it should be on Pippalotte, who is coming to Pinewoods with me (slightly against my better judgement). I think the goal is to leave her in the room as much as humanly possible, but still, it is nice to have a device for typing on that is better than Nyota's tiny screen. And Vera is far too inefficient to lug into the woods, tyvm.
I am freaking out a little bit about being the jobs coordinator --I really hope I do a good job! And clothes, auuug, clothes! My gender has been so much less dysphoric lately --it's still shifty and sometimes I realize I'm one or the other, but I haven't had the ridiculous and overwhelming sense of wrongness like I sometimes do (like I was all over the place last year). I think a lot of it is just growing a little more confident in my masculinity, and ability to portray the gentleman. That being said, I think I'm bringing hardly any "boy" clothes beyond the kilt and one pair of breeches --pants are just irrelevant at a place like Pinewoods, where I fully intend to spend half the time in a swimsuit in the lake, and the other half dancing.
(I will say this, it's a lot harder to pack light when your gender fits a wide spectrum and you want to be prepared for all eventualities. Add that to the fact that it's been humid as hell lately, and you have me wanting to bring something on the order of two t-shirts a day, and six pairs of extra panties and stuff. It's ridiculous, but I fully expect to go through every single piece of clothing I brought, and have nothing clean to wear on the way home, and feel very put out about this fact.)
I am also freaking out a little bit about the fact that I have two tomato plants that I have already been a very bad plant mommy to, and now I am going to go away for nine days, and I hope they do not die while I am gone. I should beg my roommates to water them occasionally, and then when I get back, I need to be proactive about replanting them into a container big enough for them to actually grow.
My remaining todo list is pretty small though, and it seems likely that I'll actually get seven or eight hours of sleep, which is rare for me. My list, to be done before eleven AM tomorrow (or thereabouts) is as follows:
Finish words
Get laundry
Pack rest of stuff
Close windows
Pack fan
Wash hair
Tell 750words I'm going on vacation
Pack more hoops
Wash dishes.
That's not too horrible. Fingers crossed that I can actually make this all work!
I am also going to try and use Pinewoods to implement some New Habits that I want to start. I figure being out of my comfort zone in the first place is a good time to shake up the rest of my routines. Nothing big, but little things like flossing when I brush my teeth, and doing my goddamn pushups (if I have any arm strength left). I will keep you all posted, by which I probably mean "never write about this again".
Oh, and of course it's worth mentioning that I will be maintaining pretty thorough internet silence between now and the 21st or so. (or 22nd, because I slept all of Sunday, or the 23rd...) If there's anything important you have to tell me, you can feel free to email me (kdsorceress, gmail, you can fill in the rest), which I will probably be at least glancing at, despite this being supposed to be my vacation in the woods. I blame the fact that I am currently jobhunting, or something like that.
Love you all!

MOOP!
