The weekend that was...

04/23/2009

I've been meaning to post about this past weekend for a bit because i had an interesting one.

Saturday evening i went to a Sumbel it's a Norse.... i guess tradition is the best word, though i'm not sure it's accurate.

the notion is that a group of people (ideally Norse but not always, as in this case) sit in a circle and pass a horn of mead around, though again in our case we didn't pass it around due to germs and such, as well not everyone wanted to drink the mead.

in any event, we sat in a circle, we toasted the Gods, toasted our heroes and ancestors, made other toasts, boasts and some even took oaths. And many stories were told.

to say it was an amazing time would be like describing the ocean as wet, technically correct but wholly inadequate to describe the depth of it.

It was like family, and i have an interesting counterpoint to that, because my family being Greek Orthodox celebrates Easter at a different time from the rest of Christendom so i had Easter dinner the following day, and it really was like two family gatherings in a row.

I think i'll leave it at that to offer further description i think wouldn't do it justice, and may in fact diminish the experience, i am however looking forward to bringing some friends next time....

good night and good luck!

RYC: It really was random. I've just been in a story telling mood recently, what with the getting to know Shiny thing, and after seeing that look of rage in his eyes for the millionth time, it just occurred to me that I probably should get more upset that pretty much every guy I've been in a room alone with (or not even alone) has been massively inappropriately and unconsentingly sexual with me. (Not everyone, not you obviously nor Russ or him, but as far as percentages go, pretty damned near nearly)
And then I realized how little it phased me last few times it's happened, and how that's probably not healthy.
Nothing's happened recently, promise.
