Yesterday there wasn't too much going on - I'd gotten my hair re-colored in the morning, and I did take some pictures.
However, please remind me that the next time I get it done, ask for something that doesn't look so "slutty". I said that I was trying to avoid looking "soccer mommy" and wound up getting my hair styled just like that. :-/
Afterwards, I did get the new ball for my earring - with no grief from Eldo, who told me that it happens from time to time. (Apparently, I'm not the only one that gets curious and fucks things up.) Then, I went to Pride, just to pick up the goodies the day before things got apeshit crazy. I ended up skipping the BBQ (sorry Jeska!) because my knee felt like it had been kicked really hard, and I couldn't do much walking around.
In the evening, I did go to dyke march, which was rather anti-climactic. (That totally sucked, because I just felt like, "That was it?") After that, I avoided the party in The Castro - again, the whole crowds thing, went to dinner and went home.
Today, I went to the parade - but left that after an hour, because there's only so much standing that anyone can do. Also, if you want to walk around to the booths, it helps to be able to withstand all the walking. I'd told our friend, Jenny, that the parade would probably take about 2 hours - and I was so, so wrong. The parade started at 10:30 a.m. - and finished at 3 p.m. Seriously. But, by that time, I'd left to get some "real food" (read: non-fried county fair eats) and go home.
It was still fun - and I think that I left right around the best time, since I'd done and seen what I wanted - and managed to leave right as the crowds got more insane. Oh, and that sunblock that I'd applied? The SPF30? Yeah ... didn't really work. I've got some red on me - right where I'd put the stuff on. Unfrackinbelievable.
Now, I'm going to kill the cat for being such an asshole. (Well, not really - but he is being an asshole all the same)
