Austincon weekend
My weekend is almost done. It was a good one, it was a long one, it was an embarssing one, it was a happy one, it was a loud one, it was a hot one, and somehow it was only one.
How do you condense a 74 hours into a short little post? Espcially when all but about 11 of those hours were spent awake and with friends. I feel this time deserves a top 10 list, in no particular order, well actually the order in which the memories become unfoggy in my over worked, under slept brain.
1. Holy shit we played magic, how is that the first thing i think of, there was so much better stuff I could mention yet that I went with first, damn I am a geek, why did we even play, o yeah thats right, its fun. But it was also the first activity of the party, it was what we were doing as people arrived, it was when you had a few seconds to glance around and see the people that were already there, and see the people you would end up spending the rest of your weekend with.
2. Austincon shirts, woo hoo I have a shirt, its fun its a summed it up pretty darn good, and it was funny to watch all of us out to dinner with them afterwards.
3. Alcohol, yeah lets just say there was a lot of it and it causing the rest of these memories to be nice and hazy. Friday was a beer night, o and I just remembered straight vodka night, why? o yeah now I remember ;) Saturday was mixed drinks madness night. They were cold, they were strong, and with the exception of one, the green drink of death, they were good.
4. Friends, ahh yes friends, not all that I wish could have spent the weekend with me, but the new ones and kinda new ones more then made up for the ones I didn't get to see. I missed my miami peeps before this weekend more then I quite knew, and after a weekend with them again its really hard to leave.
5. Lack of sleep, aka the fried gooyness that is my brain, aka ouchies... Wow I did not get enought sleep this weekend, I hope I will be alive tomorrow morning for work. 11 hours over 3 nights hurts, but at the same time it was so great. Every hour I didn't sleep I was doing something fun, it was a great trade off that I would be willing to make again today.
6. Post Austincon decompression. Yummy dinner with the surviors, good movie, good bbc show, and good time in the pool ended this weekend perfectly for me.
7. Bounce House! That was fun, wrestling arena by night(poor opie), brezzy lounge during the day. Good job on the bounce house jordan. It almost made up for the lack of swimming pool.
8. Sitting by the water on sunday, that was nice, I miss living near warm water. Bad north atlantic for being so cold for so long.
Yeah I'm running out of time and ideas at this point. There are two more someplace in my head, I just can't seem to remember them. When can I sleep, why is the plane still delayed, come on plane get me home.
And to think next weekend might be just as rough...
