Out in Two!
But it was a good event. Had Chuck make me a sword, he doesn't balance them the same way. Spent much time wandering around catching up with people, which was good. But couldn't throw a blow to save my life...thankfully, life was not needing to be saved. Have some savage tip bruises on the lower back and butt, and a sunburn on my shoulders from playing hurley on Sunday.

I realize, though, that in the last 8 months or so I haven't been doing a very good job connecting to people, either old or new, physical, mental or spiritual. I've made some new friends but haven't followed up on them, and I haven't been as close with my old friends, and am turning more into a flake on the social side. Loosing couth bothers me a lot. Losing the ability to hug people easily and freely bothers me more.

And if I'm not careful, my whole life will be sucked into computer games. Which, without a doubt, is not good; classic avoid the problems behaviour.

Other thoughts from the weekend: My gosh, that was cleavage, Eona! Titus fought both calmer and more savagely than I've ever seen. The mead from Castings was great. Bella Luna performances were wonderful.

...and the rest of the thoughts will be later.

Well, you gave me a hug, so that counts. :-) I was shuttling people to the upper parking lot and missed Bella Luna (again!), so Demitrious and Daymon did a command performance of Who's On Court for me later on. Very funny stuff!

And thanks for dragging people to the tea. I was afraid it was going to be a dismal disaster. :->

You have a great hug, it would be a shame to lose it.

Sucked into Video Games....

I have a copy of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for the PC. If you would like, you can come over and we can nuke it in the microwave.

Trying to be helpful. :)

Don't lose your hug!

Riding a motorcycle is like a video game, but better! You should do that more often....perhaps with friends! ;)

Since the weather is getting better (for the most part) and you are still here, think you would be interested in showing me those other labyrinths at Sibley? I currently have sun the 18th free.

So, time to start a three days a week gym outting? MWF around 7:30?

Be careful about frittering away your "sabbatical." Do something unusual, go somewhere, anything, that's not something you could do while doing the 9-to-5. Otherwise, when it's over, you'll wonder what you did with your time.

And, in fact, since you do so many things that other folks find exciting and intriguing, like traveling all over the world, you should find something else.

• Participate in a dig in Wyoming.
• Teach a motorocycle safety class in Italy.
• Crew on a Winjammer to Argentina.
• Help install a well & school building in Hondoras.

But, please, don't go participate in the reconstruction of Iraq? Afghanistan would be OK...

We love

Where did Ewe go?

That is, We love you ;-)

Relax, Don't worry, Have a homebrew...

Friends will understand whats going on... you've been super busy with the land goodies, and everything else.

Realizations are good... now is the time to focus on whats important - friends, family, etc. And like what other friends have mentioned, do the things which you haven't done in a while... you have some freedom, might as well enjoy it!!

Don't suck yourself into the computer games, unless they're really kickass LAN games... then feel free to organize some LAN parties!

hey mon!

I love your hugs - don't stop giving them out.

*HUG*

One problem with frittering life away playing video games: I've discovered that playing Nethack so much is causing repetitive stress injury in my right hand.

So totally with you

Believe me John, I can empathize. I realized some time ago I was having trouble connecting with people. Is it the time of life or is it just the times? I decided that this was partly a choice, so I made a concerted effort to connect with people and I failed on pretty much all counts. I called old friends and couldn't seem to find that space where you *really* communicate. I went to SCA events and felt like an outsider; even at dance classes, I felt like I was just being tolerated. Interestingly, talking to you at Dicken's Faire was the most successful new (well, renewed) contacts I had with anyone in a long time. Like knows like, I guess.

For someone I barely talked to in the last ten years, I miss you an awful lot. It's probably that fleeting connection thing. Also you dance well. And Brian, for all that he loves me, will never dance me. Well, ok, sometimes he *will* dance with me, but it's so obviously coerced, it kinda looses its charm.

Anyway, my self-pity rant is being interrupted by kids chanting "Party Penguin!" (Daughter is having a slep over and I promised we could make sno-cones.) Better go keep my promise.
