(no subject)
Kicking myself now for not bringing dried cranberries yesterday, which were what kept me somewhat functional through the motorcycle expo--which, btw, was a MUCH less stressful event for SO many reasons.
I guess right now I'm feeling like...I'm always going to be what I am, I'm never going to suddenly become extroverted or whatever, but there are things I think I can do to better be able to deal with this sort of thing. I know my brain will never work as well in such an environment as it does, like, in the woods or something. But I think if I worked at it, I could do better.
Guess I'm glad I went. Had a lot of trouble sleeping last night--the kind of tiredness that comes from something like this is where you feel like you want to cry and shake yourself to sleep, but your brain is going too fast. I think I only slept well after the sun came up. I hate that.
But I guess I feel good about a lot of yesterday, and like maybe I can learn from it. (And I also learned a lot from watching the dogs and their owners in the run areas--mainly how some people really don't know what they're doing.)
I also had a thought...about what they say about "never meet your heroes" but I just--well almost met but was very close to--a hero of mine and because he's always so genuine and I've never thought of him as other than human, there was absolutely NO disappointment to speak of. So there's that.
Don't think there's any official pics or video up yet of the event, but I'll be posting some of the stuff we took on my tumblr later; will link to it. (ETA: Pictures! Nothing great, but some decent shots of Cesar and some of the dogs I hung out next to. No video posted because I don't know how to make it fit tumblr's size limits. I'm sure there'll be official stuff soon enough, if anyone cares.) Got some nice shots of some cute dogs and Cesar, and Dad videoed Cesar's speech.
Since you're all probably bored of that subject, other things.
Watched last week's DW last night; it was...I don't know, fine I guess. I can't even really care anymore.
I've got one ep of Luther left. Some of the mad plots are a bit...much, but I've really loved the show, they've done some fantastic stuff, and Idris Elba is so awesome. And I see there will be more sometime...? YAY!
Think I'm going to retry Homeland next week. I've had some good luck with going back to shows I was meh on before, so fingers crossed. (Also things week: new Fringe, Flashpoint, and...SOA.)
I can't believe it's the last day of September. WHAT HAPPENED OMFG. D:
Oh, but TV tonight. Eeeee! Very excited!
...but first, Dad is off back to the job for three days (AGAIN, SIGH) and I didn't get to it yesterday, so looks like I'll be braving reinstalling Chrome by myself. Wish me luck.
