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.

Found things, jerkishness, fuzziness
This morning I found my black pants that have been gone for nigh on a year. They weren't even anywhere weird. They were just on the floor in the closet. 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 »False Hope
So the guys' band had a show on Saturday and it went really well. A bunch of people came up to say they did a good job, and the headlining band (another local act) really liked the music and wants to do other shows together. And they even got paid! Go »My stupid brain
It seems I have quite a lot of former friends who wound up really, really, disliking me. So I am always alert to signs of that happening again. It's nobody's fault but my own, I assure you. Go »Who are you calling a pipsqueak?
So now we have moved on to watching Fullmetal Alchemist. We borrowed season 1 from the library. I quite like it. 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... ;-))
