I'm in double trouble this weekend. Annex is throwing not only Hothouse, but Spin The Bottle and an important company meeting. I really, REALLY want to attend all of these events. People I love are in them, Ben is going to do his Alien V Predator remake(!), Erin's going to play the marimba on the stairs and almost everybody I know is going-to-be-in or has-worked-their-ass-off-on Hothouse*.
But I got invited camping 3 weeks ago, and since I haven't had a day planner since I quit stage managing, I said "You fucking bet, bitches!" and did my excited-about-camping dance (which involves a mentionable amount of butt shaking and some invisible maracas). My father gave me my favorite sleeping bag of his (it's a double and it has that weird old hunting fabric on the inside. red and tan with pheasants and deer, you know what I'm talking about?) and an ancient Coleman cooler with aluminum sides and a hook clasp. I bought some grey courderoy pants and a thick pullover hoodie at VV yesterday, and I'm so excited to romp about the woodlands that I'm about to burst. ABOUT to BURST, I tell you!
I hate having to choose between them. While I feel more obligated to Annexercise all weekend, I've also been feeling that the encroaching winter has decided to make me pay for the beautiful summer I just had. It's the first day of October, and I've already had the mean reds for 2 weeks. Usually, this time of year, the only escape from the reds is to get out of town for a minute to catch my breath. I wrote a nasty dishwashing note yesterday, which means that accidental dish-breaking is only a week away and falling-down-face-scraping is only a bit behind. (Thats just what happens. I get crazy, I start breaking things, I start falling down.)
So camping has been chosen for everyone's sake. I hope annexers will forgive me. Derby Girls and Camp Vassar are going to take me into the woods and romp all the sad out of me.
Really, it's in all of our best interests.
*I'm especially proud of you, Trixie.
Posted by Sonya at October 1, 2004 07:45 AMWell, we're going to miss you this weekend, but considering the immense sacrifice you're making on our behalf, I personally (not speaking for the Company mind you) wish you "Bon camper!"
And ooh, that bag sounds a lot like the old White Stag I used to sleep in when I was a wee camper...
