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.

Why have I not checked this show out before?...
So I happened to find disk 1.1 of Queer as Folk (American version) at the library and it is rare to see disk 1.1 of anything so I checked it out. Go »Bablyon 5 vs. Little House on the Prairie
Darrell is checking out a lot of Babylon 5 DVDs from the library lately. I watch it too when I get a chance. Anyway, perhaps it's because we're nuts, but we think that show has a bizarre number of parallels with Little House on the Prairie. Go »Our dog is smart
Our sheltie, Philip, is really smart. Here is his latest Oscar-worthy film, where he shows off his ability to mimic Darrell doing the following actions: turn a circle, stretch, sneeze, lie down, roll over (partway), hop, and speak: link Philip also knows how to read a few words, kind of, though I think he gets bored with it :-). Currently he's in school for agility, which entails learning how to run around a course jumping hurdles and using tunnels and seesaws in a prescribed manner. Go »The British know how to make TV
Correction to my earlier post - we have now seen almost to the end of season 2 of QAF (Darrell decided to watch it after all) and it seems only season 1 is really amazing. Perhaps it gets better again later, I don't know. Is it any coincidence that season 1 is the one copied almost directly from the British version? Go »D&D update
The guys made it to 4th level and then we added 2 new characters. We had a dragonborn warlord and an elf ranger, at 4th level we added an eladrin wizard and a dwarf fighter. Darrell is playing the fighter and warlord, Darrin has the ranger (though he's not exactly into the game so we're lucky if we're able to call him to the table to actually make his dice rolls) and I got the wizard even though I'm DM :-P.

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... ;-))
