Back on the writing bandwagon…
OK so I am going to be brief with the months that I have missed, so that I can keep this in less than 20 updates, you ready for it.
End of December:
Sadly, I do not remember Christmas. If someone remembers what I did please let me know.
January:
Started the New Year with a bang. I would like to say I co-hosted a party, but really it was all the fabulous Miss Lisa, and I just invited people to her place so it felt like “our” party. We had a number of people come in and out of the loft and at all times it remained a small party amongst friends. A small party with good friends is my favorite way to bring in the New Year.
Poker Ride! Amy W. and I went on a bicycle Poker Chase. For those who do not know what it is here is a brief explanation: Bar, card, beer, ride to next bar, card beer, ride to next bar, and so on until you have a full hand, and play your hand at the last bar. It was raining, caused much laughter and we both lost with grace.
All my spare time I was living by lists. I was moving, I did not want to forget anything crucial. Lists.
Packed my stuff in a pod to be taken to San Francisco and flew to Portland to hang with Cathy and Susan, where we chilled out, went to wineries and played with pups.
February:
SAN FRANCISCO!
I spent the beginning of the month walking everywhere and looking for a place to live, outside of Jeff and Christopher’s guest bedroom. Thankfully I found a wonderful place, quickly.
I live in a large studio apartment with a partial view of Twin Peaks, and I have a deck. Huzzah, for outdoor space.
Went to LA on a whim. A friend in Southern California called me and asked if I was going to another friend’s party in LA. I said, “umm, I am a 6 hour drive, and I do not have a car.” Then I went to the airport and asked for the next flight to LA. My first trip to LA (outside of the airport) and I spent most of the time with friends never leaving the hosting home.
March:
Month of general running amok. Keep walking, nothing to see here.
April:
I finally got a bed. I had been sleeping on a wonky air mattress. The thing I learned about air mattresses is they do not hold heat. So, even though it was not that cold here I spent most nights cold.
I went out dancing quite a bit and I won tickets at one of the dance clubs to see Ladytron. I found a group of people via Craigslist to go tot the concert with. Then I spent the entire weekend frolicking with that group. I went to a BBQ at the house of another woman named Tia, I went to a afternoon dance party in a state park and explored Golden Gate park.
Molly and Eric visited from Santa Barbara. I tested their physical limits with walking them up and down tons of hills. Laughing lots and walking filled our days.
May:
Chris and Brian visited from Seattle. Another weekend of lots of walking and laughing and the weather smiled on us.
I went to a house concert in Oakland. Corinne West, country bluesy music. Had me smiling all night.
I spent one Saturday at a neighborhood Progressive party. It was a roving party that went from house to house. So I met a number of neighbors and I had the opportunity to see 5 houses in my ‘hood. It was a beautiful day.
Jeff and I found a roller skating rink! We went skating, me with my blades, until one of the wheels came off. Bummer for me. So then I had to rent the real skates. If you want a chance to laugh at me, I suggest you get me on a pair of roller skates.
June:
Most of you are probably thinking: she hasn’t mentioned biking, yet, is she feeling OK? Rest assure, I am feeling fine, I am just a wimpy hill rider so I have not been riding as much as I like. Most weekends to the present I have been either taking a long walk or a short bike ride most weekends. Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy.
And that leads into this, I volunteered at both the Opening and Closing Ceremonies for the San Francisco to Los Angeles AIDS LifeCycle. I went to LA to pick up 2 of the cyclists and in the process I decided that I will be riding next year.
Four months to go. I was going to make this one update, but I think that would be a mistake. This is going to be a two part update. The next update will start with my Birthday.
