Just Joey (or Princess McFloppyEars, as she's sometimes known) and I here at the house tonight as Chris is off recording a record with the Turtle Creek Chorale. I attended their rehearsals yesterday, and they had several bright lights and an HDTV camera going about as they are filming a documentary about the group. I tried to lose myself in the back, and I realized the the cough from my cold would keep me from going to a place where every sound would be scrutinized. *cough, cough*.
The title up there comes from a trivia question we had today at BW3's. Something about the stages in life, from some old pop psychologist book from the 1970's. I guess it's about as valid as anything else, right? I had a nice time today with Chris as we went to the pool here in his complex.
Last night there was a get together here at Chris' and there was a nice turnout of guys (and gal). it was really nice to be with them all, and I'm sorry that I ended up being an ass when I got mad at Joey's behavior. Joey's still a very bouncy puppy, and occasionally she'll get a little aggressive when people play with her. I was very concerned that people were having a good time (and that means I start to try to control everything) that i got upset. This part of my personality works well at work, but not so well in social situations. it sort of made for an unusual vibe.
I didn't ask for presents, but it was nice that I got a few. Paul brought me a CD with a drawing of myself that i'll have to upload, and a can of Red Bull. Yes, there's an inside joke there. I also got to meet famous author Naomi Nash, in town for the Romance Writers of America Convention. Ms. Nash looked surprisingly like Vance (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drood), and she kindly gave me signed copies of two of her books, and a few promos for those that are coming out soon.
I really wish I had much more time to sit down and talk to Vance. I sort of interviewed him in front of the whole room (which was partially to get conversation started) and asked him several things I wanted to know. I hope I get the opportunity to chat with him again, there's lots more I want to know. I'm very glad I got to talk to Paul for a bit longer. i hope i helped him some, even if it was just to have him think about some things.
Chris has noticed that things are out of sorts for me this weekend. I try to cover it up, but he's getting to know me so well that he can see through my tries to cover it over. unfortunately, I don't think he'll every believe me when I say "I'm OK". I really hate the darker, moodier side of my personality, but I'm such a bad actor...everyone knows it. Occasionally it grows into a passive-aggressive streak. Everything's OK, right? Of course, if I just stop feeling so guilty about truly asking for what I want, perhaps it wouldn't be so bad. Still, something in me tells my Leo personality not to be so selfish. I try so hard not to bother people with my problems that I create one for myself.
I'm hungry, so I think I need to put Joey outside and start scrounging for food...apparently the recording session is lasting longer than they thought well, longer than I thought. Sadly Chris will have to go to bed as soon, for he has to go to work tomorrow. I think I'm going to try to cook for him tomorrow - could be scary.
