Pride.

Pride was pretty fucking great. :)

JT and KC and I all walked down to Lark for the parade.

We met up with my friend BG and her girlfriend, who is too funny.

I'm really happy for BG. The last girlfriend she had treated her like shit.

But this one is nice, fun to be around, and actually seems loyal.

Anyway, we had fun laughing at the different floats. JT had a blast, she was soo excited about the drag queens and candy. Don't even get me started on the bubbles they threw at us from the float.

She collected at least 4 bubble containers.

Afterwards we all walked to the festival.

BG and I bought rainbow ties, and it was hilarious to try and see which person in our group could actually tie a tie. BG did a pretty good job.

We walked around for a bit, after running into BG's girlfriend's friends, and stopped at the double decker cupcake bus for cupcakes and cookies.. and the adorable girls working there. ;p

After that, JT and KC and I went through the bigger tent to check out all the vendors (since we got separated from BG and her girl), and ended up running into them anyway.

I won a t-shirt and a condom holder necklace, and BG and JT won necklaces, too.

KC decided to leave when it started to rain, so the rest of us just continued to walk around and listen to music.

We ran into a few friends, bought jello shots from some kids, went to the wine tasting booth, etc.

I even saw this girl I went to elementary school/high school with. I just kind of pretended not to notice her and she tried to do the same.

Seriously though.. I ran into 2 of my exs and a few of my one night stands or one week stands from after I stopped seeing A (remind me never to do that again, although lately, I seem to be forming a habit with this one girl every time I go to my hometown. I gotta stop that. I don't like the whole one night stand idea. I'd rather come home to someone than sleep with someone different every week). Don't get me wrong, I was happy to see one of my exs because we're still friends. I'm always happy to see her.

But the other one.. he and I have an intensely fucked up history. I'm glad he didn't try to come near me, because I probably would have hit him.

However.. there was one person I saw, and it was like I got punched in the gut. I honestly didn't realize that I still had some feelings left for this person. I thought any romantic thoughts about this person were gone. I don't know what this is about.. but I need to stop caring for her in that way. It's not going to happen with us. Besides, she could have any girl she wanted. There's no reason for her to want me.

And so, I'm back to square one. Taking some time to think and changing a few things around in my life.

All in all, it's been a good weekend, despite one or two unexpected twists.
