Dicken's Faire Notes

learnteachWent to Dicken's faire today, saw many good people, danced a bit. It's somewhat sad that the only thing that brings me there is the dancing and the people; the faire seems to have lost much of its magic for me otherwise.
Some interesting things...the social conceit that I am "coupled" with any lady I escort feels especially wrong right at this point in my life. Now, granted, it's obviously an issue with me, given that I'm either (chose one) non-standard, overly friendly with friends, inappropriately unrecognizing of relationships, or afraid of commitments. However, a vendor who attempts to get me to buy a rose by asking someone else if I should buy it is bound to fail, and a friend who attempts to make a point by bringing this up--more than once--just pisses me off.
So, are you saying I _should_ be involved with someone, or are you saying that I should _not_ be involved because it looks as if I may? Or are you just striking at me because of your insecurity of the moment?
On positive notes: Davey looked marvelous as a Seargent![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daibhidhbeag and flirted well. It was fun to be near him. tshuma seemed to be having fun, playing whistle better than I've ever heard her play. Saw Paddy in a show, and Gwydion and Lisa and Richard and...
Saw an old friend who either didn't see me or gave me the cut indirect; didn't feel like pushing in and finding out which. Saw Valerie and many others...
G'night, all.

Date: 2003-12-21 08:46 am (UTC)You know...the old "get the lady to tell you to buy it" poly is *so* cheap! I've always hated it, and I get kinda pissed off about it myself....and that *included* while being in the middle of a...erm...long-term relationship, so having your *friend* think that it is awful that you, too, feel this way is just a cheap shot. Your like-or-dislike of the ploy really says nothing about your state of relationships or any other part of your life, except, perhaps, that attempts at manipulation are offensive.
