Home!

[hsapiens]

I'm home. I haven't yet ventured over to my f-list but will be doing so very soon. Short version of the trip:

- No Gale Harold autograph. Blond isn't his best color but he's STILL smoking hot.
- Thousands of photos. THOUSANDS. Shouldn't take me forever to Photoshop though since lighting this year was excellent. wive, I tried to get lots of good Jason shots for you. Next time I'm taking a phone book to the breakfast and dessert parties for the guests to read just in case our group runs out of questions.
- For those Stargaters who know Mikey, you know he takes great photos of the many, many cons he attends but never has the time to process and share. He kindly agreed to allow me to copy his digital photos dating back to Gatecon in England this past year to prep and post. I have about 5.5 GB of his photos in addition to my own thousands. Oy.
- Even using my firewire connection, I expect tonight's photo transfer to take hours. :|
- jalabert, triciabyrne1978, katiedammit, moonshayde, janiekins, and selmak totally rock. Youse guys make going to Secaucus (pronounced Se-cawwww-cus) not a Bad Thing. :)
- Blisters on the bottom of your feet? Really not pleasant.

Hmmm... me in Texas during flower season... sounds like an allergy attack waiting to happen.

Can't wait!

And I apparently scared my mother. She loved all my pictures, but wanted more of you guys and less of the pretty men on stage. She said 'I wanted the girls!' and when I showed her the few I did have combined with all my shots of Teryl she commented that I had her a little worried with the abundance of Teryl pics.

*blushes*

She's just too cute to NOT photograph.

Oh boy. Pics of the group. I'm glad I got Mikey's pics because I totally forgot to get pics of our Sunday night crowd. I thought about it half way through but I figured nobody wanted pics of themselves eating -- and then the margarita meant I was too mellow and happy to think again. Luckily, Mikey took pics.

Teryl crosses boundaries. Let your Mom worry. ;-)

Mom should know about my Teryl obsession already. I mean, come on, no one needed to know where I got the name from for my little baby puggy.

And you were fun post-margarita. Of course it was kind of a flow over from the rest of the weekend and your earth-moving abilities ;)

Oh boy. We're going to discuss wet spots soon, aren't we? Annika was right; I'd better write that story soon so that my side of it is the one history remembers.

It was that evil selmak and her poking. You'd have thought I was wearing a beaver t-shirt.

[triciabyrne1978.livejournal.com]

LOL!

See, and here I was trying to be delicate about it....

As for poking beavers... I thought that was at a whole other convention.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Delicate? Us? Whatever for?

I thought that was at a whole other convention.
Pfft! Why should I let a little thing like details get in the way of a good story?

[triciabyrne1978.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Similar to how katiedammit is telling all of her co-workers about my 'I want your body' story.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Precisely. Some stories are so good that they deserve to live on, whether or not they're strictly true. See my comment below about oral traditions and culture. ;-)

[triciabyrne1978.livejournal.com]

heehee, very true.

And I absolutely LOVE that icon.

I need to play and make more Teryl icons while I'm on my vacation.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Isn't it wonderful? katiedammit is one clever cookie. I knew I had to adopt it as soon as I saw it.

Yes, you DO need to make more Teryl icons. Lots and lots of them. :)

[triciabyrne1978.livejournal.com]

Heehee!

I only occassionally make icons. I don't consider myself all that good at it. But I do have fun with toying with them.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Well, consider yourself what you wish but I like your icons. And I definitely think you should make more. Lots more. :)

[triciabyrne1978.livejournal.com]

And since we're not being delicate should I mention the fact that you were able to handle selmak & her lovely sister with no hands?

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

*snort* I'd forgotten that twist in the mythos.

All that time I spent in college studying oral traditions paid off, eh? Who knew cultural anthropology was so useful?

[triciabyrne1978.livejournal.com]

Hey, at least you're putting your college education to good use.

I so think I should go back to school or SOMETHING.

I'm totally not having any fun or enjoyment out of my work anymore.

I went home for lunch today just to get OUT of the office.

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Man, days like that suck. *hugs* I'm kind of glad that we no longer work under the old system of taking a job for life because every job has a point of diminishing returns. When you are no longer learning and growing and when each day is more drudgery than fun? That's nature's way of saying it's time to dust off the resume. I need to do that soonish myself.

Going back to school always appeals to me. If only I didn't enjoy what money does for me. Like vacations. :(

[triciabyrne1978.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean there.

I've been applying around.

We'll see what happens...

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

I'll have my fingers crossed for you, hon.

[triciabyrne1978.livejournal.com]

TY!
