OK so it’s been about two weeks since the Fistful of Fifties show, it didn’t go quite as planned but it was a turning point in my life where I finally started turning things around and being happy with myself for once. It was great.
Meg came with me to the show, the minute we walked in I saw Chris and Tatiana cuddled up next to each other, that was like daggers in my heart, but I pushed through it said hi to everyone else but them and went to get a drink, a strong one. The rest of the night really turns into a blur of tequila shots, margaritas and a couple random shooters. Mark ended up being there and we managed to bury the hatchet, about time right? Karma seemed to have roundhouse kicked me in the face after all this time and just called it even and water under the bridge (I think I also thanked Chris for being a jackass so Mark and I could bury the hatchet, haha…). Caleb, Shanna and one of their friends came by and shenanigans ensued. I was polite with Tatiana, we even took shots with other people, ok it still made me bitter, but I was trying. At some point Chris and Tatiana, leaving me to my belligerence, which thankfully only few people witnessed but I feel like I handled it well and didn’t do anything too stupid. All things considered the night went well, I was happy, upbeat, polite and there was no throwdown. Oh and I had a good time, that’s the most important part. I woke up the next morning around 7am still drunk a bit, tried to sleep a little because I was going to hang with Hannah later in the day, dreading the sure-to-come hangover. I talked to a few people to piece together the night, had some laughs and the hangover never really came which was fantastic because I really didn’t want to feel like crap meeting a whole bunch of new people. I even looked great for my lack of sleep!
The part was great, I picked Hannah up and we made our way out. Everyone was so friendly and inviting, it was easy to merge into the group. It was way too cold in the pool to jump in so I was just as comfortable watching others hangout in it and listening to the stories. I by accident started a relationship with some hot dogs because no one could see that I was on the phone while I was getting my hot dog, haha. A family showed up that had 3 young boys and the oldest (who is 14) was completely smitten with me and even blew kisses at me as we were leaving, oh jeez…But I went home in a great mood, watched a movie and actually got some sleep.
Sunday the amazing weekend continued with Chloe coming down to go with me to the Vintage VA Wine Festival. We put on pretty sundresses and bought floppy hats to wear, it was just loads of fun and I missed Chloe a lot. We tasted a little wine, shopped around, tasted a little, met up with Meg, shopped a little, it was just a great day. It was nice for Chloe to finally see me happy again too.
The last couple of weeks have been rehearsals, hanging out with Meg, Hannah and Phil which have been some amazing nights, and VERY entertaining. They have quickly become great friends and have almost taken over the roles in my new transition as ‘advisors’. I’ve currently been banned from boys for the time being until I can be trusted dating and not getting attached haha. They really are a life saver because my nights would be so uneventful and they have made me feel alive again and also helped to bring out a part of me that has been dormant for many years.
The whole, not talking to Chris is actually going fairly well. I’ve talked to him a couple times but I’m really trying to keep it at a minimum. I actually tried to get today off so I could decompress before the play opens but those two are off and because Tatiana is out I couldn’t get the day off. They’re taking days off together now…how cute (barf). Needless to say I was a little pissed off about it. But Oh well.
I started hanging out with my friend Boom Boom a little bit more, I really love the company. The last couple times we’ve had drinks it’s just been over an hour of laughing and good times, I really enjoy his company which is refreshing. We actually went to see The Hangover (FUNNIEST movie ever) and nearly died laughing and spent about an hour in the parking lot talking. I also got to see Austin that night so I was happy to finally see her, since I will only see her tomorrow and who knows when because of my moving to Texas.
Actually that Saturday in a whole was great, Robert, Kendall and I went to the Va Renn Faire and enjoyed some good wine and festivities. I did a wine tasting a a vineyard for the first time ever, no different from the wine festival haha. I had a 13yr old follow me around and ask for hugs (he worked at the faire, but still, I mean 13?!), Robert and Kendall of course egged the kid on, sheesh. But I had a great time with them, just talking about life and stuff and enjoying the Faire.
This week has been Hell Week, so my soul belongs to Elden Street Players for this week, well up until today, they just own it on the weekends now. But, show opens tomorrow, it’s crazy that it’s finally that time. Scary at the same time because the weeks are seeming to fly by and before I know it it’s going to be time to move (sad face). But this weekend should still be fun, I’m looking forward to it, I love looking forward now and I love feeling good about myself for a change and not caring about Chris anymore. I’m a much better person for it.
Until next time… A
