back from midwinter and it was MUCH fun. i'm very glad it was wonderful to see xerotic, shadow_heart, dave harold, kim and lucas schultz out of character (who were kind enough to share their amazing apple pie shots), and several players from fargo and cedar rapids who provided me with great fun in character. the ventrue directorate meeting and tribunal were really educational for me as a player and i'm truly grateful i got to see them (i am now putting robert's rules on my amazon wishlist with a memo to get thoroughly drunk after i force myself to read them). unfortunately i didn't get nearly as much time with sidhedevil and rojir as i had hoped, nor did i get to meet mamaursula, but it does mean everyone was so busy having fun they didn't have time.....and that is a good thing in my book. i got a lot of catalysts for roleplay in the future. and i got to briefly meet many people that i have heard talked about for ages.
this being said, i didn't sleep nearly enough and in the future i will be getting my own room. i shared a room with six people and there was just no place for me to get alone and be quiet. i think i got 9.5 hours of sleep for the whole weekend and wound up tired and sore. i came home and immediately went in the hot tub. i stayed up long enough to have dinner and some good time with ross, but i went to bed extremely early and am still tired at work today. definitely going to rectify that for next year. also i really missed ross. i'm going to do everything possible to get him to come with me next year.

the rest of the week looks...empty so far. in a good way. i may go out dancing thursday and i'm hoping to go to chicago to see my grandfather and uncle this weekend, but other than that i have no plans.
