mlerulesTraditions're nice. Been living up here (PacNW) for nearly 2.5 years now. Realizing the need for following/establishing traditions, yet also wanting to focus more locally. Will eventually figure out how best to balance this.
Would like to continue visiting SoCal in early January (for Troubies' Holiday Show), in April or May (for AJ's b-day/Mom's Day/RenFaire), and some other time (likely Summertime - either pre-FW or near![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hiddentass's b-day - 8/23 - makes sense). Would also like to keep the traditions alive of spending my b-day (Sept) and x-mas (Dec) in/near the Bay Area. Nov's got T-giving, although location can vary (and be local at times, ideally). April/May's been we3 Fambily Neah Bay holiday. July/Aug's got FaerieWorlds. Oct's been Astoriaversary w/ALF (wherever that happens to be celebrated ;-) Now gonna list this all chronologically and see how crowded this makes life w/awayness:
Jan: SoCal (Troubies)
Feb: nada in particular, although I quite liked the we3 fambily V-day holiday (new tradition?)
Mar: nada in particular, usually, HOWEVER: 3rd w'end of 2010 = SoCal wedding
Apr: SoCal (RenFaire) or Neah Bay (we3) / 4/23/2010 = step-mom's 70th b-day!
May: Neah Bay (we3) or SoCal (RenFaire)
Jun: nada in particular (fambily seems to visit me in PDX 'round now)
Jul: FW and possibly SoCal (if not in Aug)
Aug: FW and possibly SoCal (if not in July)
Sep: Bay Area (b-day/Solano Stroll/RenFaire)
Oct: Astoria(ish) ALF Anniversary
Nov: T-giving (wherever)
Dec: Bay Area (x-mas)
Yeah, nothing's set in stone. Past performance need not indicate future results...or something. Starting to feel stressed and the opposite of my desired state (BAPAMAP). This is a sign of...something. Likely that I need to go to sleep.

Date: 2009-08-20 06:15 am (UTC)Like... on Thanksgiving day, I like to go see a Movie. I mean, my otherhalf and whoever else are usually cooking, and I don't watch Football... so... yeah. A Movie. :) It gets me out from underfoot for a bit, and I don't mind going alone or with friends- better still, I like to be silly and watch a family movie or comedy or something I normally wouldn't watch. :)

Date: 2009-08-27 02:22 pm (UTC)Heh, for several years my ex-hubby and I used to go see a movie on T-giving as well. It meant we escaped the fambily after the meal and the required fambily-face-time. Amazing how many folks were there w/us, actually. Methinks the most anti-fambily movie we saw (and 'twas filled w/kidlets!) on T-giving was Alien v. Predator (or some such) way back when.
