day one

this past weekend was entertaining

saturday was what people now call valentine’s day. does no one remember that the valentine this day is named for is a saint. i’m not catholic, not by any stretch of the imagination (and mine is pretty stretchy), but surely we should show a little respect for the man. he was, after all, a pretty nice guy to be named a saint. he earned the title, so we should use it

due to a prior gauntlet malfunction, the tournament did not go as well as it could have. the ones that i was borrowing were good, but they did not allow my hands to close properly. this might not sound like a big thing, but adding forcing your hands closed to hitting someone with a stick while trying to stop him hitting you and you will see that it is rather tiring. i did manage to attract the attention of two of the ladies present. admittedly one was the lady gracious enough to allow me to champion her for the tourney. this means that when i organise the white day tourney next month, i will have reciprocate their gifts

speaking of attracting the attention of the ladies, that night was a little different to usual. i had been invited to several different events, with the plan to pop in to each of them. that didn’t happen, but meh. decodance was running a hippy party, so i decide sarong with no top. hippies do that, right? then after being at decodane for not that long, we are marched of to go see il tornados (in one’s worst mexican accent). the place wasn’t too bad, the warmup band were inoffensive and them tornadoes were pretty damn cool. the most notable part of this, for me at least, was the large number of young ladies that were peering in my direction or coming up and asking me for a light. i had left the sarong in the car, but i hadn’t put a top on. this clearly had some sort of positive effect. the only downside was the attractive ones weren’t single. meh

we returned to decodance and the music was at the point of taking a turn for the better, although there were fewer women approaching me. on the plus side, there was no crazy telling that i should kill myself. this was entertaining. then the rest of the rable rousers went to gotham, but i stayed with some of the other people i knew. things were fun for a bit. then i felt the need to go home and sleep. somehow i ended up joining the gotham crowd to go get steers, which i had planned to do before going but somehow failed to do. so supper was had at about 04:00.

sunday saw werewolf the character creationing. gods, what am i letting myself in for

p.s the evil day star burninated me again
