It’s been an insane last few days. Aside from the drama llama invading on Thursday, Pride was a lot of (expensive) fun, granted, full of mistakes.
Friday night, was the White Party. I, of course, wore blue. Besides, the only reason I went out was to watch John compete in the Mr SEVEN contest, which he won handily. But, at the same time, I was also trying to get out of my rut, and actually trying to be nice and social. It was fun, except, it comes with the usual creepy old guys thinking I’m their best friend. Which reminds me that I’ve now been to invited to a party with them on August 16th. Here’s to praying that they don’t want it to be an orgy.
Then comes Saturday. I tried getting Kory to come out, but he threw out his back, so what was to be craziness, ended up with Chris finding a way downtown, and us checking out THE Fashion Show (yet another John production). We missed about half of the show, becuase, well my roommate wanted to finish his drink and whatnot. Caught the show (was awesome), then we found our way to SEVEN, where the madness continued. I got to hear plenty of things that I needed to hear, and went home with someone who will likely cause that damn llama to come back when word gets out.
Anywho, we woke up the next day, and hit up the parade. Normally, I’m not a fan of these things, but I just didn’t want to sit at home and do nothing, so parade it was. This year’s was a lot bigger than I ever remember London Pride’s being. While sitting at Dundas and Wellington, my phone rang. It was Ed, calling to say he was on his way to London, which was kickass. Anywho, as the parade came to a close, we tagged on at the end (like evryone else), then found our way back to the grounds. Chris once again found his way over, then Ed. We all went for dinner (with John), then went back again to SEVEN for Drag Queen Binggo (personaly, I thought the charity should have been “Literacy for Queens”). Then we all went our separate ways, and the work week began.
Next weekend, I get to go to Montréal, which should be fun. Some of us from work are going to kidnap our favourite Team Leader. And I’m always up for a road trip.
