PRIDE Weekend

Friday
After missing the 12:50 bus to NYC, I reluctantly took the bus to the train station to catch the 3:20 bus to the city. I switched my ticket over, hopped on the bus and was on my way. Once we got threw NJ, we hit some traffic, serious traffic like sit for 5 min at a time. Our bus driver took us through NJ to get into the city and that tacked on another hour to our trip but I wasn’t complaining. I was just happy to get there at 9. I met LizO at the station and we proceeded to go to Sunshine’s hotel cause there wouldn’t have been enough time to go all the way to Brooklyn and come back to the city. Sunshine and I changed and Nikki having been on a bus for 10hrs just stayed at the hotel room. LizO left to go home and Sunshine and I left for the club. It was more mixed then I expected in terms of the people that were there…white, asian, older, and just strange folk. But it was another good NYC club experience. The dancers were wonderful as expected and I enjoyed the work of Lady Madonna, who’s a dancer from NY. Oh yes, the highlight of the night was when Ms. Oohzee pulled the board’s own Sheena on the stage to have her way with her…So jealous but it was a wonderful sight to see.
Saturday
I didn’t get back to lizO’s house till 7 sat morning and slept a couple of hours. LizO made me some waffles (I love you LizO) and I played with her brothers and sister…aaww, gotta love quality time with the family. I was supposed to go to a party with her later on that night but after doing some talking she said she didn’t mind if I went out with folks from the board. I felt bad but I got dressed and went out anyway. At this point I’m good with the whole subway system and got to Sunshine’s hotel. Peach was there and it was really nice to see her. In a way things were kinda like they were when we all went out to dinner the weekend before, except our feelings were switched. Instead of her wanting to be all over me, I wanted to be all over her but I couldn’t so I just looked pathetic, till I got some liquor in my system then I was fine. There were 11 of us in the hotel and we were just talking and chillin’….good times. Eventually we left and went into the village, but we didn’t get there till midnight…I think. Everyone was so drunk or high at that point no one really knew. We all go on the train and were being extra loud and gay…we had all the white ppl, laughing at us. Once we got down the village we walked down the pier and on the way we bumped into HoSHI and her friends. I was really drunk and wasn’t paying too much attention to her but it was nice to see her and she did look very good. We also saw Sheena and everyone was molesting her like right in the street. We finally got down to the pier but it was closed so 9 of us went back to Sunshine’s hotel, the other 2 went back to their own. OH MAN…sh!t popped off in the hotel and it was fun times. I’ve taken the “what happened in NY stays in NY” oath so I can talk about it. Just know that everyone, all 9 of us that is, had a very good time. I ended up staying there cause by the time people started leaving I didn’t feel like going back to LizO’s
....WoW Saturday *grin*

Sunday
When back to LizO’s at 10am but everyone was gone for church. Since the parade started at noon, I literally had to shower change and leave right back out to meet up with Sunshine and drop my bag off with her stuff, so I wouldn’t have to go back to Brooklyn and pick it up. I felt really bad that I didn’t get to say bye to her family but I did call and talk to her mommy, which made me feel a little better. But, I dropped my bag off with out any issues and met up with Sunshine and Nikki. Saw some of the floats and got a couple of beads. I just wish we all could have been together like the night before, but everyone was spread out. I saw Sunshine and Nikki off then headed down to the village to meet up with everyone else. It took me forever to find them cause the street was all blocked off but I did bump into cute Eb from high school. It’s just something about her that I really like but I doubt anything would happen b/t us. It was still nice seeing her. After 20mins, I found everyone and we walked through the mass of gay people to the pier. I couldn’t stay too long cause I had to go uptown to pick up my bag and get to the train station. I met a couple of other people and saw a lot of cute folks...I LOVE GAY PEOPLE I was going to meet LizO in the village but it would have taken for ever for me to find her so we just met up at the train station. I didn’t get to debrief her about all that happen on Saturday or that day cause my mind was all over the place. I headed to my bus and I saw the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen in my life. This man, he looked homeless kinda, was caring this girl screaming at the top of her lungs to put her down through the station. Now, this wasn’t a “I’m not getting my way so I’m going to scream bloody murder”, you could tell that she was in trouble. The thing about it was that everyone just stood there in silence and watched him walk by, no one stopped him. There were 3 police officers that were in the direction he was walking so I can only assume that they stopped him. Or at least, that’s what my mind was telling me. I was really bothered by that and I still see it when I close my eyes. I was horrible. But I got back home safely.

Today I didn’t do much of anything…I talked to Peach last night and apologized for acting stupid and she did the same. Then she sent me a txt talking about I miss my baby, and I honestly didn’t know she was talking about me. I’m getting mixed signals from her and I don’t know what she wants. But I think I’m going to go see her tomorrow. I know it was long but that’s probably the only interesting thing I’ll be able to write about for a while.
