Yesterday ratzeo and I met up with maho_kiwi and rivetcat to see the Seattle Pride Parade, which was just amazing. First of all, this was the first time I watched a parade in person, so that was fun. But this was something more, because I'd never been to any public event that was about ... solidarity like this. It was great. Even though I felt almost like an intruder, for the most part I felt really really happy, even if it wasn't for myself. I was also proud to see the Filipino and other Asian groups present, because the queer color community doesn't always get noticed.

Also, there were gay pirates. XD

We had to cut out early, so we couldn't stay for the post-parade fair, but we headed down to neo_angiel's house, where he hosted a lovely barbecue. I got to try playing Betrayal at House on the Hill, a really fun pseudo-tabletopping board game. Also, ratzeo proved once again that he is the master of gaming.

But, you know, even though I call this my weekend, that's sort of a lie - because my summer vacation so far has been just an extended weekend, with a few hours of work thrown in on some days. XD;; I'm thinking I need to set a stricter schedule for myself, so I don't slide completely into unproductive laziness over the holiday ...
