San Antonio: Fun, Fellowship, and Frustration?

(smirking) Well that sort of sounds a bit more pessimistic than I'd have liked to start! Yesterday I got home from 4 days and nights in San Antonio with my friend (and chaperone). We were attending a convention of folks similar to us, from all over the world! I had no idea there would be seventy-eight thousand of us though! We filled the Alamodome! Starbucks never stood a chance!

I had a blast! I had to sort of deviate from my usual pattern of behavior (being of the keep running around, caff'ing up and don't stop or sleep 'till I pass out) because, as I said, I had company. It was weird to be constantly eating and sleeping. I can do that anywhere, but whatever, I am okay with compromises so long as I'm not COMPLETELY giving up what I want. I'm still a control freak.

It was so emotionally charged, this weekend. I saw people I hadn't seen in 3 years, and some in months.

I mention the frustration part, because the weather also had a raging case of PMS. It kept cycling from hot and sunny to rain to hot and sunny again.

Only part that could have been a little cooler (on a pretty perfect trip) would to have seen some of the folks I knew were there. I had some other friends who said they were going, but apparently flaked. Per usual. I'm accustomed to that now. I know who's got my back and who just says what they think I want to hear. (Maybe that's just more of the PMS talking.) I learned a little more about myself this weekend, and I'm happier and better for it.

Until something else comes up,
Shayna
