Weekend is not going my way. I wanted to go to a bar last night, but it turns out you need to book a seat on Eventbrite. What? That sounds like a bad joke from ten years ago. I've never had to book anything to go to a bar.
I had my make-up D&D session. I almost never miss my Leyfarers games, but if I do I can schedule a make-up. Part of what makes the whole TPK system work is that it can roll with the scheduling issues that derail most campaigns.
Sports Bra announced very last minute a watch party for yesterday's Walter Cup playoffs. It overlapped with my D&D game, but I could have gone if I'd known sooner. The silver lining is that it was being hosted by a content creator who has become very 'eat your vegetables' about watching the PWHL. She keeps making posts about how PWHL is the reeeeeal Heated Rivalry. Also, that HR fans neeeeeeed to stop watching the NHL and watch PWHL instead, because "they deliver what the boys can't". I like the PWHL, obviously. But I have zero interest in taking the energy I put towards fictional male characters and putting it towards real people. I really liked this content creator a year ago and was exciting to see her ride the PWHL wave to becoming an established creator. Now I am so over her lecturing people over what we should and shouldn't like. So, my breaking my perfect attandance record for PWHL events in PDX is probably a good thing actually.
Tonight, I'd planned to watch the Firebirds versus Eagles game 3, but I found out there is a new queer bar were Crush used to be and it seems like they are modelling themselves after what Crush was a bit. Tonight they are having... a bingo event for trans masc people? I don't like bingo. The last two trans masc events I tried to go to... one didn't actually happen. But if there is an in-person trans masc event I am going to go to it, even if my experiences doing that have been miserable so far. If it sucks, or I am the only one there like at the last event I went to, I am treating myself to a Lyft directly home to catch the second half.
But, if I go there with an 'uggghhhh' feeling it will suck no matter what. I need to go with a positive attitude and a lot of emotional energy, no matter how dry my well is. (post title is referencing a very old commercial that starts with an uuugggghhh feeling and that's roughly how I felt realizing I need to scrape myself together and grab this opportunity just in case.)
