Alright here's the D*C report. Reposted from the DND group message board.
Yeah. I'm home. And broken. Bad.
Okay, so I've hurt my shoulders. Like, torn the muscles. Yeah. I'm going to the doctor this week. I had to come home about 1 PM Saturday from D*C. So I only got one day.
BUT WHAT A DAY IT WAS! :DD
Okay I did a lot of just... meandering, you know? I'm just not one for panels. I bought lotsa good stuff:
1 set of dice (that match my beloved purple-blue d10s!)
1 d20 necklace
Virtual Adepts Tradition book
The Book of Madness (book of enemies- Nephandi, Marauders, Umbrood, Paradox spirits, etc- for Mage >:3)
Clanbook: Cappadocian
Around 6 ish, Drew was chaffing so badly in his kilt that he had to run back to his place to change into pants. I decided to wait at the con so I sat down and was like "Well fuck what am I gonna do for 20 minutes while I wait?" So I did what any proper person would do- I poured my dice out on the nearest table to count them! And to lure gamers lol. Luckily it worked and a guy named Ben sat down next to me and was like "Whatcha play? :DD" Really really cool guy from Tennessee (lol). We would spend the rest of the night hanging out with him.
Went to the Peelander-Z concert and party'd hard. Then we rested for 30 minutes before going to the Industrial/EBM/Goth dance hosted by DJ Catt Ninetails. (This is where I hurt myself. XD) It was so cool- Drew and I knew this one song she was playing ("Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)" by Concrete Blonde) and we were singing along. So DJ Catt Ninetails notices, jumps of the stage, and runs up to us. "YOU KNOW THIS SONG?! I LOVE YOU GUYS! I'LL PLAY ANY SONG YOU WANT!! JUST NAME IT!" So we ask her to play The Sisters of Mercy (GAAAWWTH) and Apoptygma Berzerk (RIVEETTT). She grins at our awesome requests and then goes back on stage. About 15 minutes later, she puts on an awesome remix of "Love Never Dies Pt. 1" by Apoptygma Berzerk (approx. 10 minutes long) and then "This Corrosion" by The Sisters of Mercy (approx. 11 minutes long). Naturally, Drew and I have to dance our hearts out to these two songs.
Well after "This Corrosion" I stop to rest for a moment since I've been dancing for about an hour straight. I sit down and then BAM! My shoulder muscles seize up and I'm in massive pain. This is when I conveniently remember the mysterious shoulder injury from horseback riding several months back that reappears occasionally. Yeah. But now it was bad. Bad bad bad. Because goth dancing involves arm flailing. I told Drew to keep dancing, because I was happy just lying and listening to the music (DAMN THAT WOMAN CAN DJ.). So I laid there on the chairs, a mixture of adrenaline, endorphins, pain, sleep deprivation, ridiculous amounts of vitamin B12, and caffeine causing me to fall into a trance like state that coupled amazingly with the music and lights. I stayed like that for, oh, an hour? There were a few songs that I just couldn't resist and had to dance too, including the closing song for Drew and I- "Starsign" by Apoptygma Berzerk. As soon as we left the dance I knew I was going to be in pain tomorrow, but I didn't predict anywhere as much as I am in now.
When I woke up two hours later (9:30 AM. We got back to Drew's place at 7:30. XD) I could barely sit up and I nearly screamed doing so. But I put on a brave face and was all "Oh once I get to the con I'll be fine" But my dad was like "D8 Uh ML. You don't look so good." I was sweating and shaking even in cold rooms because I was in so much pain. Sooooo we decided that I needed to go home. XD;; So here I am. Yeah.
You know, I should just save up all my clothing shopping money for the year and go shopping at there. Who needs Kohl's when you have the Dragon*Con dealers room?! Because remember kids- it's okay to dress in any decade's clothing! AS LONG AS IT ISN'T YOUR DECADE! ("Yeah yeah the 80's were good.. Especially the 1880s." That guy was awesome.)
=========================
I'm recovering. My left shoulder is significantly better, but my right shoulder is still fuxoredz. I'm gonna have to cancel horseback riding for a few weeks and I'm certainly gonna have to cancel my horse show. Which sucks. D: But as long as I'm suitably recovered enough for AWA all is well.
Sasha is also hurt!! He has injured his left front leg somehow and won't put weight on it. We're taking him to the vet tomorrow. Poor baby. D:
The Vols lost today to an unranked UCLA team. The failure is massive. I must listen to "Rocky Top" on loop for the next hour to atone for the sins of my football team. You think I'm exaggerating, don't you? *cranks up the Ricky Scaggs version* YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY DEDICATION, FOOLS.
Besides those things, life is uh, pretty good I guess. XD I'm going to start planning a costume for next years D*C. Something fantasy or steampunk-ish probably. Or maybe historical. Probably all three lol. Get Keri's mom to sew all the clothing and then buy a buncha doo-dads for accessories and a wig. Possibly add horns and weird make-up for fantasy elements. ... Oh yeah baby. :3
