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.

New Camera
I didn't realize you could get a digital camera for $15 now... Once I became aware of this fact, I had to have one! Darrin got rid of his camera phone and this will serve the same purpose. Go »More about the coat obsession
I know I already put the pictures on Facebook but I have such an infatuation with this coat that I need to post about it a bit :P. Here is the real dude in the real coat: Here is Darrell in our coat we just bought: Here's me in the coat: Here I am in the coat again (brighter shot): Anyhow, generally when you find pictures of this guy he has on the suspenders and no vest. He does wear a vest sometimes though! Go »Now I remember why I live in North Dakota
It got hot all of a sudden the last few days, or what passes for hot in ND in early April (50s). It's like a spring break video out there, people prancing around in bikinis yelling "woo"... OK not quite but there is a marked change in demeanor. Go »Chair
Over the weekend we went to Mills Fleet Farm to pick up the specific present my dad wanted for his birthday. I doubt you have the Fleet Farm in the more "civilized" parts of the world but it is a bit like a Walmart with the addition of things like calf medicine, saddles, fence posts, and a huge amount of hardware, machinery, building supplies, etc. I mostly stick to the more Walmart-like areas of the store, except for that one time when I built a fence :). Go »I wish I wasn't such a freakin idiot about cars
Seems like every time I need an oil change they want to do $600 of service on my car even though it's running fine. It's getting so I absolutely dread oil changes because I feel like such an idiot not knowing what I really need done to the stupid car and I feel like an asshole if I say anything about it. I hate my stupid car. 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... ;-))
