This weekend was pride. It was also a weekend after AF left for a week with his Aunt. It will be weird with two whole weeks without him broken up with a couple of days between there.

I'm taking the day off from working because I need to complete a few things for my last class and work on a few other things for my next one.

Pride was okay, I volunteered in a couple of booths on Saturday and went to Dyke night. Toshi Reagon was really good. She has an amazing voice and wonderful ability to handle anything that comes her way. This was evident, because during the chatter between songs, a woman spoke up and starting talking about vegans and how Minnesota is full of Nazi's and etc. It was pretty weird. The woman did get up and walk out before Toshi had to have her escourted out. She did it in a way that focused on the fact that there is a time and place for everything (and she had the mic tonight) versus dealing with her message.

Sunday was the parade. I went despite the rain. I really wanted to fly by the seat of my pants that day. I went to find a couple of my friends(never did). I could have run into RD, TK, TS, AT or J but didn't.

I did run into D from LJ, which was weird. I totally recognized her from her pic, because of her eyes. Yeah, so impulsively I said hello....but because I didn't know what else to say..I felt like a dork.

Later heard, Ellis who's a wonderful local singer/songwriter. I've heard her song "Freedom" which is a really great song from a peace compilation. She sang song and it made me really happy because I could sing along. I ended up buying one of her CD's because one of the songs.

Gosh this was a long post...and I suspect, I should get to my homework.
