So I haven't blogged since my last, quasi-angsty piece a little more than a week ago, but I had good reason.  Mardi Gras holiday was spectacular.

The night after I blogged all of that last, my best friend called me crying and almost hysterical; she had worked herself up into a frenzy about things I might have thought or said - none of which turned out to be the real way I felt - and wanted to talk about her decision for us not to sleep together anymore.  So we talked it out, and I wasn't mad, just a little bewildered at the so sudden decision; we worked everything out and now things are almost exactly the way they were before, just without the sex.  It's still fun to role play in person, of course.  We got a lot of funny looks at the mall the other day.

We've started some new role plays, too, with all three of us - bonding, you know?  We made a whole slew of new characters and an interesting new setting for them, and I have some more angsty writing to do later... It feels like the end of the week is going to be pretty good, especially if I can manage to get all my work done and still have plenty of time for writing. That would be very, very ideal.

Today was kind of boring; we did our customary seven-hour car ride from home to home, and now we're back in Louisiana until spring break... I can't wait until spring break.  It's going to be awesome.  It's just so disappointing that we have a different break from like, everyone else in the world.  Or at least, everyone else in the United States.  Okay, fine; everyone else in Texas has a spring break this coming week, and we don't.  We just get Mardi Gras and then more break in a month or so.  Give or take.  I wish it was now.

I wish I wasn't on my period, though.  Sad face!  That means no sex, and while I hate to share the gory details of my excellent and lesbian sex life, that means I won't be getting any until like... next week.  And with the new and exciting array of helpful 'toys' we have obtained, next week could not come any faster.  No pun intended.  Lol, do you see what I did there?  Pretty clever.  I crack myself up.

But all in all, life is going pretty well.  We didn't die en route to college, Mardi Gras was awesome, and we even got to eat some pretty delicious foodstuffs and have an awesome picnic.  I'm really pleased with the way things turned out, and while I'm disappointed that all these new characters don't really leave too much room for working with our old couples, at least for a while, it does give us the opportunity to expand and include there people in our role playing.  We're going to have lots of fun!  We've already got a sun elf, a rogue, a human, a vampire, a Bible thumper, and a siren... and we'll probably have a gypsy or two soon, and a healer, and maybe a couple bad guys thrown in?  It's really going to be fun. 

But, as it is late and I have yet to do important things like shower and get ready for bed, I'm gonna have to be outta here.  First day back at school tomorrow, and I have to look decent.  And by decent, I mean not exhausted.  So - maybe more important drama will happen later this week.  Hopefully not.  I like my life to be drama-free and slightly angsty.  Lol not really.  

PEACE.
