Terri's incredibly busy weekend, part 2

[mslulu]

I notice I never actually updated again after Saturday Morning, so here's the scoop.

I joined Elli and Gabby at Elli's place just before noon, bearing crumpets and jam. The next trick was calling Laura, giving her incredibly detailed instructions on how to navigate the downtown grid, and waiting for her to arrive. Then, the fun began.

I did hair and make-up, then Elli squeezed me back into the corset from Friday, only it was done much tighter since I didn't have to worry about walking around a lot. Then lots of "costume" changing, and hair rearranging, and posing, and changing of film and transferring digital to the computer and more posing and oh dear gods this corset is starting to hurt, finally, hours later, we were done.

I've got the prints from Laura today, which I'll scan and post (the good ones at least) on my annoying Geocities page (One of these days I'll get around to finding a more permanent place to rebuild my web pages, but I just seem to have lost the drive after my Webprovider and Angelfire fiascos.) Elli is having fun with Photoshop on the ones she took on digital, and I think Gabby is sending the digital ones from her camera today, too. I'll get my favorites of all of them posted and out there for anyone who really wants to see them.

After the pictures, it was time to gather the Michaels and get ready for Karaoke. We staggered down to The Townhouse. Elli and Michael #2 and I sang. (I flubbed my first song badly, but the second went okay... Michael #1 at least didn't hurt me for dishonoring Patsy Cline). Then we staggered back home. We hung out in the living room talking for a while, it was kinda nice getting to know Michael #2, then Michael #1 drove me home and I collapsed into bed.

Sunday Morning on the Bike Trail didn't happen - too much Saturday night partying to get out of bed. I spent Sunday mostly alone. I decided I'd go rent some movies and order a pizza. So I went downstairs only to remember that Michael had driven me home and my car was five blocks away at Elli & Gregory's house still. I hate when I do that! Talked to Elli and Gabby for a bit when I picked up the car, but mostly, it was just a me day. Oh, and a good movie - Hit and Runway. It's a gay man/straight man buddy flick, about writers and writing and friendship and love. Very satisfying. The New Guy was pretty good too.

Yes, sad, it's one of my secret joys. I'm too shy to talk to strangers, but put me on a stage with lights and a microphone and I'm happy.

Me too. Usually way to shy in small groups. But give me an audience, and usually I'm an extrovert.

Ahh, townhouse. Did I tell you that we stumbled into there on 4th of July because we were hungry and they were the only place that was serving anything resembling food? They were half-steamed grocery store hotdogs and bbq ruffles.
