Party weekend

Okay, so last Thursday's blog entry was a tough one, but we can't let these things get us down when we have a whole long weekend of birthday party party party. Last Friday night was one of the bigger karaoke nights I've attened. With invitations sent to all my friends on Facebook, and keeping it private so I had no Corey Worthington gate-crashers, I had the best night. Lots of friends showed up, I did a number of my favorite songs and I caught up with people I hadn't seen in months. I also decided that I would do a very special version of Filthy Gorgeous. I took my seriously ripped pants and my gold shirt, and it was basically a softcore strip tease. the worst people saw was a trace of my butt. But it certainly got people's attention. For my readers who are on Facebook, I will soon have a fan basis there and you can see picture evidence for yourself.
For Saturday, well, one can only go to DT's and be entertained by the drag queens. I have made friends with a number of them, including Slash Darling, Anita Beer and kaye Sera. Slash Darling agreed to do a request for me. Slash gets stuck doing the same songs all the time, so I cut her some slack and requested the first song I ever saw her do, "I Touch Myself." Being the dirty girl she is, it really got kinky. But it was great to be surrounded by friends and having a good time of it.
Sunday, what is there to do on a Sunday? Well, the Midsumma Carnival is always a good option. All the information you could want on gay rights, plays, events, locations, help lines and so on and on. I was lucky enough to run into some more friends who I rarely get to talk to at Midsumma, so I certainly made a day of it.
But just because I am sitting here falling asleep while writing this does not mean to say that it is all over. While Monday doesn't hold a lot for me, Tuesday I am off to visit Jane and Dion, as it will be exactly 10 yearts since we first met. Where does the time go, I ask you? But they have been my most long-standing friends, a few hitches here and there, but it is all good. So that will be exciting. Wednesday (my actual birthday) is also payday, so I get to do some shopping on my birthday. I will be buying another one of my books to go on my collector's shelf and my usual foodsyuffs. I also need to buy internet credit, come to think of it. I ahve a friend dropping around for lunch and then, og boy, come evening, we are out on the town again. Mum and Greg are taking me to Crown Casino no less for dinner and Gold Class tickets to see 'The Lovely Bones'. Oh god! I have read the book, so I am hoping that the movie hasn't f**ked it over. If it has, there will be a full-on rant on YouTube. But that is something to remember.
But it still isn't over. Me and some friends are going to Eildon for the long weekend (even if it isn't that long) for a few days of video games, card games, movies and gas bagging. I am making sure that Eildon is not under threat from bushfires before we go, and that an emergency plan is in place. But it should all be good.
I do have a few other things on my agenda for the upcoming weeks. The Midsumma Festival has brought forth two shows I want to go and see. Mum and Greg have (last I checked) decided to come with me to see Romeo and Julian, and since I know the actor playing Julian, I must say that is a major highlight for this month and Midsumma. The 30th is jane's Birthday party, and she will be turning 50. If you ask me, she doesn't look a day over 37, but there you go. That will be at an Indian Restarunt which jane really likes, and I am covering part of her meal and doing the invites as her present from me. lastly, but surely not least, is 'Ladies First,' a show to dedicate the talented women of the ages who stood out from the norms of society. I don't know when I am going, but I had better book it quickly because I might not get in otherwise. But I am sure I will get something. Anyway, I better jetset to bed. Happy Birthday Party to me,
