My second Thanksgiving turned out to be decidedly better than the first... I had the best snow fighting I've had in a long time. Soaking wet, hard hitting, and it felt great. Though I move even slower in the cold air then normal and I need to start hitting harder because a lot of my shots that normally would have been felt were not. I was a little disappointed at the lack of fellow Rausumeans that showed as well. Kudos to those of you who did and raspberries to those of you who said you would but didn't. You missed a good time. Hell, practically my whole family showed up too! Mom, Dad, Kelsey with Todd, and yes even Caitlin... And we managed to get along somewhat warmly. That made the whole thing so much better.
The food was very good. Gavin did a great job considering he worked forever at his job the day before, before even starting on the feast and only had two hours of sleep in between. (Which he made up for after the feast based on the amount on snoring he did. I kept waking up from nightmares of bears attacking.) The site was nice, especially since it allowed us to spend the night, though those bunks are definitely not the comfiest in the world... My back keeps reminding me of this today. You'ld never guess that I had the best backrub of my life right before. Hehe, and I was in ecstacy too because Sakura and Thorinn were insane enough to want to give me a foot rub. And I got to snuggle with my favorite celt for the last weekend of his personal existence. =)
I am very disappointed that Fidaich decided to drop Fianna... There are so few of the original people I joined under left in this unit and it makes me feel very lonely. At times it seems like things are going so well. And then I remember that mostly, things aren't going at all which is was makes it seem so peaceful. I want so much for Fianna to be the things I wish it to but I don't know how to help. I have little to no free time. For that matter, neither do Gavin and Awen. I love them to death and they both just seemed so stressed. Gavin never smiles or even talks to me anymore, no matter how many times I try to start a conversation. But I am proud of the great job he did on this feast and heralding yesterday... Hopefully he'll open back up to me eventually... I just can't help but feel that he is avoiding me or annoyed at me in some way.
The pure romance party at Glitz's this morning was amusing as well. Slightly awkward at first though. Somehow I just don't think the Sunday morning atmosphere was fitting to the subject, but we still had a good time. And I have yummy flavored massage oil now. Strawberry! =) I wish Awen could have been there. I really miss hanging out with her and I definitely think she could have benefited from a little girlish fun.
So all in all, it was an amazingly busy weekend with much more floating around in my head to process than I can air here. I wonder what the future holds...
