I am home now.

AWA has been a strange and mystical weekend. A 1600 mile long odyssey, bizarre, random, disjointed. Of the past four nights, I slept in my car for three of them. The humidity made that experience slightly less than enjoyable. It was uncertain if I was going to that convention or not, and to some extent, I'm uncertain if I was actually there. And what do I do on my way home from this convention? Go directly into work and put in a full 8 hour shift. I have long ago stopped questioning my sanity, and have instead questioned the very existence of sanity in general.

The surreal nature of the weekend provided more than a couple pieces to my personal puzzle, some of them connecting to each other readily to form a better glimpse of a larger picture, others seemingly from a different puzzle altogether but nevertheless fitting in.

There were a few things that I got, such as the Komugi artbook that came with standees, and the Gao Gao Stegosaurus t-shirt, and the Tsukihime Pinky:St figure, among other things. There was also a bunch of magnets to put on my fridge, as well as another bottle of blackberry sauce that rocks any bowl of ice cream that it happens across (also valid for pancakes and waffles), and finally found a couple bottles of BBQ Sauce From Hell. Yes, that's what it says on the label.

Ok, I'm losing steam. Time for sleep.

Wow! Questioning the very existence of sanity in general at your age! I had to wait until I was in my 60's to reach that point, so you're getting ahead of yourself. Actually, I'm meeting more and more people about your age, some even younger, who are in the same state of mind you describe. Living in this country at this time in history has undoubtedly contributed to the speeding up of advanced and pretty well-developed cynicism/skepticism (choose whichever you want to be labeled).

Anyway, glad you made the trip; wish I had one coming up to almost anywhere.

What's interesting and yet not surprising is how 10 years ago, I didn't think I'd be in my current mental state. Or maybe I already knew.

Sanity is a trail of bread crumbs that someone else left, a trail long since eaten by birds, and either end of that trail wouldn't have done any good anyway. Kinda like that.

BBQ Sauce from hell? Are you sure thats not the stuff they use on Toxic-Wings?

Anyway, I hope that maybe finding some pieces to your personal puzzle proved to be a fulfilling event...Sometimes its nice to know that there are some things about ourselves that even we don't know. It makes life more exciting.

BTW...we need to plan a time to A) Maybe go to Six Flags (I have no clue, my life is so crazy busy) and B) start cleaning your house in preparations for next semester.

I'll ttyl!!!!!

Well, if you want to hit up King's Dominion (I presume you meant that) that's cool, the only thing is they're only operating on weekends at this point. Might as well, the tickets are paid for.

Yes, finding puzzle pieces was indeed fulfilling. There's a couple things I learned that I felt explained much, which is certainly gratifying. I hope everyone gets to find their own missing pieces.
