Weekend Rundown

I return -- I know, I've been a silly and neglectful Moffatt. I fear there are no explanations for it. There are excuses, yes -- work stress that lingers with me well into the evening, an increase in gym visits over the past week, catching up on the first season of Dollhouse. Yes, the list is a long one. But, I'll banish all that for the moment. Instead, I'll share a snapshot of the weekend.

O'Neill invited me to another wedding taking place this past Saturday. What can I say, we're premium wedding crashers at this point. We're two for two with owning the dance floor, though the competition was a little stiffer this year (Re: Older couples who knew a few swing dance steps). Pfft, even those moves couldn't help them in the end, though. 

Highlights include:

• Getting the opportunity to dress swanky and wear heels (oh, and get complimented on my dress from women and men alike, mmm hmm /Ego trip).
• Being whisked to the outdoor ceremony via golf cart while numerous others had to walk. Oh, and having my heels sink into the fairway was amusing, too.
• Proving just how quickly I get sunburnt in the absence of sunscreen (I believe we were outside for a total of 30 minutes).
• Surprising O'Neill's dad and brother-in-law after I ordered a pint of Rickard's Red (a true dyke, I know.)
• Salivating over a delicious meal of salad, tofu steaks, and chocolate mousse cake... mmmm.....
• OPEN BAR!
• Checking out one of the stunning bridesmaids for the majority of the evening. O'Neill had his eye on one of the groomsmen (coincidentally, this gentleman was the same man who drove the golf cart for us earlier in the evening). 
• Tearing up the dance floor to a soundtrack including classics from the 50s and 60s, a little bit of "Sexyback" and "Stuck in the Middle with You," and a hilarious and melodramatic reenactment of Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing".
• Watching as our eye candy (Re: The bridesmaid and the groomsman) slowly started hanging out, flirting, and more than likely hooking up with one another. Haha, O'Neill and I know how to pick 'em, apparently. ;) :p
• Eating more cake than is ever healthy in one evening.
• Getting to hang out with one of my best friends and gossip about all the queer topics we wish to.

I have a post planned for tomorrow that will discuss this further. I'm not sure why I'm alluding to it now since I'm not prepared to reveal any details. I'll just have to leave you all in suspense, won't I? So cruel, I know.

All in all, it was a great weekend and a welcome escape from the dull, grey life of the suburbs. 

*Is already plotting ways to crash a higher number of weddings in the next-to-near future*

P.S. -- The GTA was hit with some intense thunderstorms while I was away. When I got home, I noticed my Mom had shut my windows. I also recalled I'd left my PFLAG rainbow bracelets on my desk. I'm trying to leave little queer Easter eggs around the house for my parents to discover, just to get them used to the idea. Perhaps I should start my countdown for the exact day I come out on the home front....
