It has taken me this long to post because i've still been recovering from last weekend. So, Saturday: first day of clitfest! What is clitfest you might ask? Well, its basically a festival (which was held in Inglewood) of punk/alternative feminist and lesbian types. During the day there were awesome workshops (like guerrilla gardening, machismo in the punk scene, surviving a natural disaster, etc.) I met the most awesome people and went out of my way to make friends and exchange numbers. Emily came along with me, though she had a headache most of the day so i don't think she had such a great time. I picked up some awesome zines, and chatted for a while with Nina (of the SMC feminist club). We seriously have a fuckton in common and need to hang out more. Emily and I didn't get a chance to eat the whoooooole day (except for a small pack of almonds i brought and shared with everyone in one of the workshops) so by the time we got out of there we were STARVING. After wading through awful traffic on the 405 we eventually made it to the Japanese place near my house and had two huge orders of salmon teriyaki. de-fucking-licious.
Sunday was just me heading to clitfest (both Caitlyn and Savannah had said they might come, but neither ended up being able to). 405 traffic was only slightly better. There were way fewer people there on Sunday, and it was thanks to this that we got to have a lot more in depth conversations about really important issues and ideas. Such a fucking amazing time. At the end of the day there were bands, but I didn't stay for them. Talked to some girls about gardening and one offered me a tomato plant, must remember to pick that up. I left shortly after getting to meet one of the organizers; I didn't really have any interest in seeing the bands.
Monday I spent in bed, feeling like ass. I probably caught something from one of the less-hygienic punks. I also sprained my finger somehow, but I think that was from giving massages. So...what else? Well, tomorrow I have a job interview to intern at the Gay and Lesbian Center. I am SO. FUCKING. EXCITED. (part of the reason I can't sleep right now). I must have tried on like 5 different outfits for Chris to look at (the man really does have better taste than I do, plus he is more familiar with the interviewing process). My resume is updated, all is ready to go. Epp. I wish it was tomorrow already (Well...it sort of already is).
Hopefully I get this job. Anyway, Babyland is playing @ the Smell on Friday, and I really want to go, but I don't think Chris will be up to it (has to be up super early on saturday) and I don't really feel like going alone PLUS I am dragging Chris, Colin and Colin's (polyamorous!) date to the Partyline! show at The Smell this Sunday night. I'm SO fucking excited that at least a few riot grrlish bands still survive. Seriously.
Am also excited about my upcoming date with Danielle (though of course no one calls it a date). We are going to see Margaret Cho and then grabbing chow at Toi.
My summer vacation was way too short; I feel like it is almost over (just two more weeks...sigh.)
