Madison: can Lex recite the whole thing in two breaths?

I ask because I know she reads my LJ out loud to people when it's potentially embarrassing. I might as make her work for it.

Madison weekend! Things went well!

The official reason for the visit was an open roda, which was way better than Milwaukee rodas. I played to the best of my ability and had some good games in between screw-ups. Arabian & Lex are quite good and I'm secretly quite envious of their abilities. I feel like Milwaukee is on the edge of being conquered by Madison capoeira people as soon as they learn to drive or teleport over here.

Best part of that day, though: some random capoeira person talked to me:
"I'm a (something) vampire!"
"That's ok, because that's not an undead vampire. But seriously, tell me if you're undead. I'll need to... get something from my trunk..."
"Justin's talking about something like flamethrower to slay you with, by the way."
"Oh yeah? Why don't you just pull it out of your bag of many things?"
AND I DID! My practice poi were in my bag and I was able to do a 30-second poi spinning dance for people. Good times. I love it when things work out like that.

Other stuff:
-No Noelle due to open roda business. Coming back in a month. Noelle first, Mirkwood second. Feel terrible about this time.
-Drank a bunch of tea.
-People honor me by wearing clothes. Promised a fruit basket for next month's visit. The gift is partially dependent continued honor. Thinking of meeting Mirkwood residents halfway and wearing the kilt. No pants = compromise.
-Slept in a cave. Nothing short of inspiring. I'd do that in my room's closet, but I need the hangar space.
-MN people are nice.
-Blue fire is too difficult to maintain. Waaaayyyy back in 2002 I found colored fire specifically for poi, I think it was a tad expensive. Maybe get that stuff next time for colored fire. Till then fire's fire's fire.
-The Shilling was an appropriate fairy tale for Mirkwood, but needed more tobacco.
-Lex likes my nails.
-Grandpa Glitterkilt's House of Discount Tension Sheets is doing well, if completely bankrupt.
-I get up and take two naps before Lex is awake and prepared to leave the house. This amuses me!
-Zim and Lex approve of my capoeira-compatible alb for church.
-Finished cutting out the pattern for a new shirt. Step two: get to a store for pins. Then it's fabric cutting time.
-Failed to find milkweed. No butterfly eggs for me. Need to call grandma for advice.
