I'm posting a lot
by Denise Sawicki on March 27, 2008
Yeah I suppose I should mention for anyone wondering (besides Scott, who I already talked to) I'm 90% sure I'm too crazy to do this GooCon thing appropriately. But that 10% chance of a successful trip is driving me nuts. I'm really curious to meet some other site users and I know it would be fun if I wasn't so crazy. And I know I'm gonna be jealous of those of you who are going and enjoying yourselves. Also, Darrell's pretty much 99% sure not going to go... and it would feel weird to go someplace without him. Note: this is not a plea for people to tell me that I'm not crazy and that I should go :-)
EDIT: True, I can act normal but in most cases I pretty much don't talk to people, and people would wonder why I'm there :P. In the rare cases where I do manage to talk to new people, I am so astonished that I can't sleep for weeks... EDIT2: I also don't have the fast-thinking ability to do all those games. I'm just an extreme introvert longing to be an extrovert but I should accept my limitations. EDIT3: Thanks you guys are nice and you put forth a good argument but I'm just going to try to put it out of my head and not make an absolute decision for a while.

But, Denise, even if you are crazy, it's ok. A lot of us are a little crazy, and some more than others. It's what makes the world so exciting! I think we're all a fun, accepting group, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say we'd love to have you come on down! I mean, I guess if your uncomfortable coming without Darrell, and you can't talk him into it, that's a different thing, but I hope you can muster the energy to come on down!
And besides, what is appropriate versus inappropriate when it comes to enjoying GooCon? Maybe we can bring some more low key games like Scrabble or Monopoly or something like that and play those. I mean, I'm talking big now, but I might want to get away from the group myself when the time comes. Or maybe a good video game or something similar. There's a lot of options that we can bring into this. The sky's the limit in the Sunshine State! ;)
Obviously the choice is yours, but I hope you both decide to come on down and whoop it up!

Denise, we've talked about this already, so you know that I want you there and think you would have a good time, but I will also support whatever you decide.
Jackie, you were good at it, and not just "for a newbie." I hope it gave you a few good memories.

Welcome
Not a lot happens in my life that I feel I can talk about publicly! There's my work, but we all know you can't talk about that. We're involved in a politcal thing that, if life were like an episode of Monk, would surely get us all killed. Go »Another Irritating Thing
The Indian episode isn't the only irritating thing that happened with The Cedars recently. A while before that, Darrell received an e-mail from someone claiming to be from MTV saying they had listened to his songs on the Jones Soda website, liked them, and wanted a CD to consider including in their show. Now this sounds like an obvious fake, but the thing is, some research showed that the person who sent the e-mail does exist and does work at MTV, the e-mail address was verifiable, the phone number led to a seemingly legitimate voice mail, and the address was an actual office at MTV.

Back among some of the first posts I made to this blog I had one called "False Hope" and another called "Another Irritating Thing". Well the same kind of thing has happened numerous more times to Darrell, but in the realm of writing, not music. Darrell and Darrin decided they were going to be writers... Go »My weekend
Hmm well I hope this post is appearing in my blog, maybe I am a bit confused by the changes. I was worried we would have a bad weekend, because we had no DVDs from Netflix or the library, and our AC isn't working and it's been really hot. But finally the weekend was saved by the ultra quick arrival on Saturday of Sims 2 which I ordered Thursday... Go »Would you like the receipt with you, or in the bag?
I don't really understand why people ask this. Doesn't it take longer to ask this question and wait for the answer than to just let the person do what they please with the receipt? Oh well. Go »

But you're not, and you should... if for no other reason than to realize that there are people out there (in here?) who are truly crazier than yourself.
(Okay, I admit... wtf do I know? Maybe you really are batshit crazier than I could possibly believe... but the rest still applies... if for no other reason than for me to realize that there are people out there (in here?) who are truly crazier than myself... ;-))
