So... I've come out of "retirement" to do a show this month. It's the South Conn Ren Faire, and it's at a new location and with new dates. Which means they have effectively gone ahead and pressed the reset button on it.

Even with all of the cumulative experience of all those involved, this might as well be a first year faire. Which also means first year numbers. :/

I am making just enough money to pay myself. This is no good. I've got a lot of things that need my attention, and I'm not getting the cash I need to take care of it.

It's my GF's first time EVAR at a faire, and not only that, but she's working there. She's doing very well for herself. She's not only making almost as much money as me, but she's gotten herself to the point it's like she's an old pro. You know, showing up just before cannon, coffee in one hand, cig in her mouth, garb half on. Jaded look in her eyes. It's funny.

My fiancee is also up here, she didn't fare as well. She was supposed to be hired at the same level as Kate, but the guy in charge fucked up, and he's not making good on it. Then bad storms happened, and she ended up not working at all on Sunday. So she spent the day keeping me company, sketching in my sketchbook, and then dancing in the rain as a tree came down and destroyed a booth near mine. Just our luck really.

So far, the highlight of our time has been my... excuse me... *our* date with my dear friend Tara.

We only get to meet up once every few months, but it's always a good time. Even though we read what we're up to on our social networks, we can always find ways to talk for hours when we're face to face.

One of the funniest moments was when we realized that at a dinner table with [livejournal.com profile] sunshyn689 and Aidan, [livejournal.com profile] cryptess, [livejournal.com profile] the_kake and I, we had a group that was absolutely madly in love with titties, but the baby was the only one with a legitimate reason.

Also, Tara figured out the best way to get me to not look at a titty.... attach a baby to it.

At one point, I violated my own boundaries, and actually touched the kid. I almost never do that. At some point she just kinda handed it to me (yes i said it, shut up), and it immdiately started smiling and making some weird BLAAAAAAARGH cry. She thought it was me.

We said our goodbyes, and it was wonderful. Some sort of moment passed between Tara and Amee. I don't know what was said, but it felt like the first time Tara told me she loved me. -shrug-

So yeah, one more weekend, and I'm done with Connecticut. Which means I'm also done with New York.

My girlfriend decided it would be best for her if we ended the relationship.

I have no regrets. We both treated each other very well. Very well. She's a great girl, and she was definately one of the best girlfriends I've had. But for her the price of admission was the deal-breaker.

Just because you love someone, doesn't mean you can be with them.

I wish it could've kept going, and a part of me wants to put up a fight. I war for what I believe in, and she's one of those things. However, I think it's going to end amicably. We still love each other, and we're still going to be friends. Honestly, I don't know what's gonna change really.

I have nothing but good things to say about her, and about our relationship. It was great while it lasted, it truly was. And to be honest, the relationship hasn't ended, it has only changed.

Here's to you my little padawan, thanks for making every day halloween.

(Not a bad time for a kid who started out as my victim, yes?)
