pyrosgfI honestly meant to write in this thing more often while I was here, but I fail. So now I get to recap a few things publicly and do a whole other entry privately because there are a lot of emotions and things I don't really want to share in public forum.
Anyway, lets start with February 2nd.![[info]](https://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=r88.10)
technicolornina and I went to see The Goo Goo Dolls. I was a huge fan of Dizzy up the Girl. I had it on cassette tape and listened to it over and over again for a long time. Seeing them live was a really interesting experience. I hadn't heart any of their full albums since Dizzy up the Girl, but knew some of the songs that had gotten airplay on the radio. Honestly though I think the ones I liked the best live were Iris, Black Balloon, Name, and possibly Let Love In (pretty sure that's the name of it.) The concert was part of a golf tournament thing or something so I'm not sure exactly how many Goo fans were there as opposed to people who had VIP tickets for the event and just happened to be there. I just know it didn't really hold a candle to the crazy that and Adam Lambert show is. We got there again at like 6:30 and still ended up just a few feet from the stage and it was GA. I have pics and vids from the show, but honestly, I'm too lazy to mess with upping the pics.
February 4th my step aunt and I went to the dog park. While we were there one of the ladies said they were having a fruit/vegetable market and gave us vague direction to get there. We brought the dogs home and then all of us piled in and headed to find it. Turned out to be kind of a bust, but on the bright side afterward we went to The Old Spaghetti Factory and had lunch. I had veggie lasagna and it was fantastic. Last Saturday made a month of no meat for me. Last year I gave up soda, so I wanted to give myself another challenge this year. Ironically giving up meat has caused me to eat more, but I've lost two pounds. Not complaining. After that we heard about a Chocolate Fair on the radio and went looking for it. It ended up being WAY too crowded so we brought Peter and Sandy home and I went with my step aunt to the supermarket. It was nice getting out in the sunshine and just enjoying the day in a city that is so unfamiliar.
Super Bowl Sunday... I'm not a football fan I should probably say first. Went to Apollos Sunday night and they were still showing it when we got there so I know who won, other than that eh, I don't care. ShowGirlz was that Sunday and they were doing a tribute to Madonna... honestly I'm not a big Madonna fan at all so I could've skipped it but Sandy wanted to see it. I'm kinda glad I was there now though. I always forget how much I like Coco until I watch her. The show was decent even tho Madonna does nothing for me. After the show I got my picture taken with the 'girls' and sat back down to wait for the strippers. Peter and Sandy went outside to smoke and I was sitting at our table with a girl that had come to watch the drag show as part of a research thing for school. Didn't ask what about. Was sitting there kinda awkwardly talking to her when someone come up behind me and brushed my side. I thought it was my step dad because they hadn't came back in yet and when I turned around I discovered it was one of the stripper and his lips were on my eyelid. He'd come over to say hello. After that everyone came back in and got settled and we watched the guys. At one point I held out a tip for Baby Dai (I have this thing with touching them. I think it's rude unless they initiate it. I'd much rather hand them a tip than have to put it in their underwear.) and instead of taking it with his hand he bent down to grab it with his teeth and caught my finger in the process. When he realized it he quickly let go and moved further over to grab it between his teeth. Then during his second dance he came out with his underwear on inside out which cracked me up.
This is the part where I say most of the rest of the week I only really have a vague memory of. I'm not even sure what happened until Saturday the 11th. Again this is why I should update more often. Saturday everyone decided they were going to go to a gem show in Tucson and I decided to stay home. Before they left I had them look at a place on my head because it had started bothering me and they couldn't see anything. They previous couple of nights I'd woke up in the middle of the night and sat up for a couple hours because it hurt so bad I couldn't go back to sleep. This has become a trend I should add. Minus Saturday because I had the house to myself and I don't like being up in the middle of the night when I'm alone. So yeah Saturday I spent a lot of time online reading. I also watched Prom which was VERY cute. First time I'd sat through a movie by myself and stayed awake in a long while.
Sunday the 12th was of course Apollos night. They had drag queens and for the first time kings there performing. Can I just tell you how fucking interesting it was to see a chick dressed up as a man. Totally fucking awesome. One of the drag kings actually performed her song live which was kind of amazing. Had pipes! After the drag show finished one of the drag kings came over and was trying to hook me up with her guy friend. I had to laugh when Baby Dai came over to say hello. Only straight guy I've met since I've been going there and the adorable gay stripper comes up to say hello. Left straight boy looking confused. He continued to try to make conversation with me until the drag queen that hosts the stripper show introduced the first stripper and then he ran for the hills. Watched they guys do two dances each and then when they started go-go dancing I just waited for Baby Dai to come back out from giving someone a lap dance so I could tell him goodnight and get a pic with him. I'd wanted to get a pic with him before the show while he was still in street clothes, but because my attention was divided between straight boy and Dai when he came over I didn't get the chance. It turned out that this time I actually got a pic where my face wasn't almost level with his crotch, which was what I wanted. He had hopped up on the box nearest me to dance and I stumbled over (I hadn't had any alcohol, but the strobe lights fuck ability to function.) and crooked a finger at him. He got down and I asked if I could get a pic. I'd already gave Sandy my camera and she had to get me to turn it on so I stumbled over to her and got the thing turned on and when I turned back to Baby Dai he was taking off my purse. By this time I'm wonder why the fuck he needs to take it off in order to get a picture. Before I could ask he turns back to me and before I know what's happening this tiny lil dude has picked me up. I should probably give you a size comparison and say if you're familiar with Queer as Folk US he's built a lot like Justin. So I'm gaping that he picked me up because I know without a shadow of a doubt I weigh more than he does. I finally get my composure and Sandy takes the pic and he puts me down. I thanked him and he hugged me and then we left.
Monday I have only vague recollection of anything happening other than a phone call with Michael and purchasing a ticket to see one of the contestants for this years RuPaul's Drag Race. Pretty sure there were other things. Yesterday was Valentine's Day and the 7th anniversary of my grandpa's death so I started out my day with my mom having a meltdown on the phone and she got me crying. Ugh I hate Valentine's Day. Michael being the sweetie he is surprised me with a lil something. Was a stuffed dog in a lil car and it was filled with candy. It was adorable, and sweet. I think it's honestly the only time I've ever gotten something like that for Valentine's Day. I'm kinda the anti-Valentine's day girl, so it was a nice surprise. I am thankful to have him in my life. I called and talked to him for a bit yesterday. Spoke to my mom again after that and then spoke to Scorp.
And I think that leaves things caught up to the present.
