luciazephyrHave been working very hard since getting to Florida. Half the point of coming was to get money (I make a full $3 more per hour here than back home) and it'd been rough, but good. I'll be off Monday through Thursday and will likely be going to the beach and writing MoC in that time. I cannot tell ya'll how excited I am about the White Court arc. I mean really. John Marcone, I preemptively apologize to you, honey.
And Florida is so crazy. THEY HAD GELATO AT THE STORE. I BOUGHT SOME. IT WAS DELICIOUS. I feel like I'm either going to lose a ton of weight from working in the heat and barely eating or I'm going to gain a lot because I am turning into a bit of a foodie and this is the only place I can actually get interesting food. They have multiple Whole Foods around here. To a rural Missourian like me, that is very exciting. 8D
I ALSO SHOWED UP HERE RIGHT BEFORE THE LOCAL PRIDE PARADE. This guy, David, invited me along with him, his partner, and their adopted kids. I am so so so so tempted to go but... Grandmum doesn't know I'm gay and I'm not sure I want to tell her. But it's nice to meet someone who's been gay and has good things to show for it. David seems so completely in love and happy, I'm kind of crazy jealous. It's just... nice to sit and talk to someone who gives me a little hope that hey, maybe being gay doesn't completely suck. You know?
Anyway. I saw this on the FList. Doubt anything will come of it, but whatever.
THE FANFICTION LOVE MEME

Lie if you have to.
(I've never been to a pride vent - I'm not that interested - but if you want something this much you probably need it to happen.)

Helps keep you electrolytes and blood sugar up, and you keep some of that water you're drinking. Hint: for heat and sweat induced foot blisters, put mole skin over the raw part. It keeps the worst of it controlled until you grow callus.
RE: Parade. You might say you have to go along to help babysit?
