When it rains it certainly pours. Cliches are true for a reason. I've been invited to no fewer than six parties over the weekend and it is also the final Atlas event. So far I will definately be attending the Endless themed party graciously hosted by
emp42ress and
dreams_of_wings. Saturday night there are parties in North Reading, Gloucester, and Camberville. I'm still not sure which of those I can make it to. In between there I may make it out to Atlas to NPC for a little bit. Sunday will be my day of rest (entirely coincidental I assure you) and of working on grad school applications. Lots more socialness than I'm used to, my inner-introvert is nervous, but it should be a great weekend.
