(no subject)
Mar. 9th, 2003 01:49 pmWell, the masquerade was a pretty bizarre day, all in all. The big moment of the night, for me, was that I cut my finger while helping to cut the bread for snacks. Lots of blood. Very interesting situation, and I now have to run around with a big old bandage on my pointer finger on my left hand, and wear a latex glove in the shower and fun things like that. And I won't be able to play the guitar until the bandage is off. But at least I can still type... and I didn't have to go to the hospital and get stitches or anything (very happy about that, since I've never gotten stitches before and I've got a feeling it would've freaked me out pretty well.) We think the flap of skin might even be salvageable, so I won't have a great raw spot. I'm hoping I get a cool scar out of the deal, personally.... it'd be kind of fun to have a story to tell.
The rest of the night was pretty good. I got to work with one of the local scribes and learn to paint charters, which I've wanted to do ever since I joined the SCA. I'm hoping I'll be able to get into this and learn to do the real stuff, too, like making the original scrolls and all. And I had some good fun dancing and talking to people, too, of course. The bad news is that the guy I kind of like didn't come... very sad. I can't figure out for the life of me whether he's interested in me or not, so I was hoping to chat and dance with him to try to get his attention. Oh, well... there's more time for that later.
Plans for the day: astronomy homework, trying to find a subject for little extra credit project, reading more out of Fortune is a Woman (interpretation of the works of Nicolo Machiavelli), possibly some French homework, and working more on my story. I've got some ideas for one of the scenes that's been giving me trouble, and I want to rewrite it to see if this new take works better.
Quote of the day (in reference to a dream Cora had--she gets all the really good dreams): "Evil bake sales!"
