Will 2: The Returninating
It has been suggested that I perhaps don't post enough in this forum. And thus I return to the stage, eagerly seeking my captive audience of adoring fans, diligently awaiting my arrival they knew would one day come.
Not a lot of change in my life over the past few months, but I figured I could at least speak of my vacation that I've recently taken.
Two weeks ago, yours truely jumped a plane to the party capital of the United States: Detroit, Michigan. From there I traveled to a small city called Chelsea where I stayed in a house with a friend from World of Warcraft. Shortly thereafter, the house was flooded with 20 or 30 other friends from the game as well as their friends and Awesome ensued.
Board games, card games, video games, mind games, you name it and it was there and it was played. Not to mention obligatory drinking and the hilarity associated with such action. It was possibly the most fun weekend I've ever had in my life. If it wasn't, then it was definately up there. I've made some life-long friendships out of this damn game and it just cements them further to spend so much quality time with them in real life.
Also, I must say, that I LOVE to travel. I could get used to the lifestyle of airport hopping, getting some writing done on the planes and shmoozing up random strangers in the airports, learning all about new people and having drinks at the bars. I love it.
Upon my return to Seattle, my ride from the airport gets a flat tire, stranding us in the pooring rain on I-5 trying to change it. If not for the aid of a passing police officer, we may never have gotten that damn tire on. We were laughing about it shortly afterwards, though, and it'll be a memory my friend and I will remember fondly in an odd manner.
The next two days were spent up in Bellingham, visiting my folks and playing with my dogs whom I miss very much. Not much to comment on here, except that DAMN I miss my dogs.
After that came last Thursday where I attended NorWesCon 33. I stayed in the depths of BFE in the 5000 party wing. chaoselemental was my roomate and we worked out some good times, attending parties in the evenings and going our separate ways during the day. I sat in on several writing panels that were very interesting and I think are going to aid my writing endevors immensely.
The event ended on an unusual note when swingsyren who was also rooming with us that night got her drink drugged at a party. She got herself out and contacted myself and chaoselemental and we took turns taking care of her throughout the night. She made it through just fine in the end, just lots of puking. The next day her needs were looked after until she was rested enough to go home. It worked out well in the long run but "not-awesome" was the phrase of the evening at the time.
Definately a memorable few weeks for me. I just wish I'd taken more pictures than video.
And with that, I have updated about my life. Be satisfied.
