Remembering the Squee...
Last time I posted, it was several weeks shy of Squee Weekend. Well, Squee has come and gone, and it was fantastic. I'd say it was about as close to being on Atlantis as one can get, with all the marathoning of episodes and discussion of characters, plot, story arcs and more. I had a wonderful time and am so glad I was able to go. It was quite an adventure for some of us to even get there.
I took the red-eye down on the Tuesday night with the plan that Mezzo would come fetch me from the airport around 9am and we'd hang out for a bit and then I would crash for a few hours. Ha! The Ghods of the Air deemed that one of my connecting flights would be cancelled, so I was delayed by about 7 hours. I can't complain too much, though, because at least I got there the same day. Poor zoemathemata was stuck in Chicago overnight, and wyndewalker's flight was cancelled two days in a row! Eventually, we all made it.
Best times (that I can remember off the top of my head):
It was really fantastic and awesome to see those I'd already met again and meet new folks for the first time; squidgiepdx is truly a delight, and I've got to find a reason to pop down across the line sometime soon just so I can see him again.
It's been pretty crazy since I got back from SC.
No wonder I was so bagged this week. O_o
The kids and I decided to do Thanksgiving dinner today so the rest of the weekend would just be RELAXATION. It was a busy day cleaning (after being away so much, the house was rather disaster-area-esque) and cooking, I finally found the time and energy to post.
Next on the Agenda: sga-santa assignments come out tomorrow! I'm so sad this is the final year; I've really enjoyed being part of it. With mcshep-match gone as well, all that's left (that I can recall off the top of my head) is sgareversebang. I hope that one will stick around for a while yet.

- ROOMIES! I bunked with goddess47 and mezzo_cammin, who are just the most mellow and wonderful roomies a girl could ask for.
Meeting selenic76, who did the lovely art I got for the sgareversebang last year.
CRAFTING! Making bracelets and necklaces and more with tangotabby, sgamadison and selenic76 was awesome! Lots of other folks joined in the crafting, but the four of us were hardcore serious about making fandom related stuff. Heh. It's SO COOL to do craft things with other people who share your passions, dude. Seriously. Fricking. Cool.
melagan and neevebrody. Yeah. Because they are truly made of awesome in a special and unique way and when you meet them face to face it's an experience like no other. I wish I could kidnap them and bring them home with me.
