Part of the reason I quit freelancing was the free time that could have been going to my own projects going toward something I was only somewhat interested in doing [particularly as, effectively, a second job vs. a first], but another reason was I ended up spending almost all of a shmupmeet upstairs [back when C and I occupied the upstairs level] and didn't really participate.
This happened again, but because I just end up deferring to guests [let them play, since I can any time] and, in my distraction, I ended up d/ling and plowing through the XBLA Lode Runner DLC =(
So of this meet, in terms of actual socialization, I'll pretty much remember only two things:
- too much chicken, and
-
maximx saying
something unmentionable. [As this is the Internet, I'm sure it may neither surprise you nor be inaccessible, but I'd sooner not spread the plague, so just insert any old horror here that you think fits the bill.]
Which sucks, but I'm not good at parties where I only sort of have something in common with the attendees. I try, but my memory sucks =/ Except when it comes to something I don't want to remember... >_<
What also sucks is it's already been a week since C and I went on our first "destination" outing in too long, and I haven't written anything about it or even posted photos [here, at least] =( So:
I'm sure I'll have some sort of commentary later, but there are things I want to finish -_-;
Also, family friend linked
this, which is informative but not particularly relevant to anything.
