Veni Vidi Vivi

Things are going very well! We had a great first night, thanks to sir_gareth and ms_ntropy and their brilliant Trivia Night. Which, sadly, included many questions I did not know the answers to. Some of them were about my own characters. *facepalm*

In any case, it was a lovely beginning. I have squeed (squeeed?) muchly today, as people walked in and said "I'm So-and-So". There was glomping. In smallestopener garb. *giggles*

I do wish chaos_pockets was feeling more in the mood for a rollicking good time.

Tomorrow I see my Lynette! YAY! *snugs miraielle from not too much afar*


WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME TIME ZONE!!!

I am now in a nervous spin of pre-event jitters. I am worried I my suitcases will get lost or the box I mailed to the hotel will have been... captured and held ransom my Hotel Elves. I am frantic about forgetting something important and about people not having fun or me not having fun due to other people and AUGH!!!

Today was hellish at work, and I very much wanted to come home and take my half-a-valium from my hoarded stash of two whole tablets and drink some wine. I did neither. I drank water and went to yoga instead.

Packing is done. Except for the little stray bits you put in at last minute. I have a list.

Once I get there, bags intact, I will feel much better. And when I am in DC there are three things I must do. You are all witnesses.

1. I must take the subway somewhere. I have never been on a subway. Ever.

2. I must by a baseball shirt for my wonderful husband who lets me gallivant off across the country. They are the Nationals, I think. I will forget. Someone must help me find a shopping venue. SRSLY.

3. I must go to at least one or two museums, because I am a geek and I really enjoy going to museums.

I know I will have a fabulous time and see wonderful people. I hope there is time for some sightseeing/shopping fun in places like Dupont Circle or somewhere. But those three things must be done.

Okay, I try to go to sleep now. Try being the word, there.

AIEEEE TOMORROW I MEET PEOPLE I'VE KNOWN FOR TWO YEARS AND HAVE NEVER SEEEEEEN. And I get to see friends I've seen once or twice in two years. It is all good.

*spins off in a whirling dervish-y way*
