The anticipation is killing me!
Jul. 9th, 2010 10:16 amAnticipation for my vacation that is. In less than a week now I will be boarding a plane and heading out to Alberta. In fact, this time next week, I will be passed out in a tent with my lover, sleeping off a night of revelry and dancing, and it will be glorious. I've been obsessively checking the weather forecast for the area, frantic every time it calls for rain. As of this moment, it says sunny during the entire festival, but hovering around a cool 20'C. I can deal with that, that's actually a really nice temperature and I would rather that than rain any day. Especially since my love's tent is quite small and not exactly made for extended hiding-from-rain stays.
A part of me feels a little guilty because another old friend of mine lives out in Edmonton and so far I have basically been avoiding talking to her about my trip... Last year she and I met up and she joined me at the festival and we spent time together etc. But this year... I've yet to actually contact her about making any concrete plans. Honestly, I'm not planning on seeing her at all. I'm going straight to the festival for 4 nights, and from there spending another 2 nights with my love at his home before flying back to Ottawa. But she's done some dumb things lately, and I do NOT get along with her new fiance - one of those dumb things in my opinion - and well... I just would rather avoid her. I'm really going out there for my love and the festival anyway, not her, and I'm under no obligation to spend time with her.
But yeah... I'm really stoked for these 2 weeks. First I'll spend 6 days in Alberta, then come home and the weekend after I will be going to the Eclipse Festival. It's just going to be mad fun, I know it. Dancing outdoors is just going to be sooo fantastic. Indoor raves are great, but when you're outside you have so much more space to dance, things just sound so clearer and more real... it's an experience in and of itself.
And not to seem bland and talk about the weather but wow... it's been in the 30's for days now, and is supposed to stay this way another week. It's been reaching into the 40's with humidity and it's really killer heat. I still prefer the heat over winter any day though... but thank goodness for AC!
