house concert is tonight, posted at 1:16 p.m.
Epiphany in Baltimore has moved to epiphanyinbaltimore.blogspot.com Tonight's the night of Kristen's house concert. I hope it goes well. I've got about ten people confirmed. Hopefully more will show up. While there is a part of me that is really uncomfortable with opening my house up for complete strangers to see a concert, there is also a part of me that finds it exciting.I hope all goes well. I'm also planning on getting drunk on Rhode Island Lemonade and vodka that Kristen brought for the occasion.
Confirmed to come: Nick, Felicity, Roger, Sally, Dana & kids, Marcia, Brenden, Michelle.
Maybe coming: Mike, Patty, creepy guy who keeps following Kristen to all her concerts and has the same first name as me, others.
Last night, I went straight over to Marcia's for a Happy Hour. A lot of fellow teachers came as well. We spent all evening drinking wine and conversing. It was cool. I loved it how every now and then someone would say, "Okay, this is our last conversation about school tonight" and then start up just a little bit later again on some other topic. Teachers only talk about school when they get together. Probably because it's a job where you get so little interaction with your collegues, especially if you don't have a common lunch period or are in different departments. This is especially true in our school, where we have had two all-staff meetings all year. Our principal - who everyone hates - made it seem like he was doing us a favor, but we all know now that it's his "divide and conquer" scheme.
Ah well.
The weather is cold and crummy today, which is a bit disconcerting since it's nearly June. My mind is so much on the summer already, however, that if the weather was summer-like, then I'd be having a real tough time of it teaching.
I'm over my little fight with Jeremy that I wrote about yesterday. You know, the one he didn't know about because it was a fight that I practiced for in my head but never did. If the time is ever right, I might bring it up. If not, oh well. Se la vie. Life is too short. We got along well last night and today. I was all ready to be pissed off at him, but I just can't do it. I'm not good at holding a grudge or staying mad at people, and believe that confrontations are a bad thing about 90% of the time.
Gotta go. I'm having up to 20 people over tonight, and the house is a mess.
