diary of an Endorphin Junkie

jkhedron and I achieved a bit of motion ("consciousness" might be a bit of an overstatement) at an ungodly hour this morning, and headed over to an adorable joint named "The Farm" for a nice outdoor breakfast. We took a few pictures, then ran off to get me to the airport.

I got into LAX and checked into the Loscon hotel with very little drama. I met with my roommate (luckinspades for the weekend, had a quick conversation to sort out the sleeping arrangements, and took a nap. Refreshed, I descended just in time to catch jadecat9, kilah_hurtz, didjiman and karisu_sama just finishing up dinner. Then ran off to my first panel, Creating Interesting Characters.

... and thus the Convention That Broke My Brain began...

If Loscon had been a single bar scene, it would have looked like this...

On one side bovil constrained a mob of Evil Geniuses to play a raucous jaunt. In the middle of the room jadecat9 danced in a beautiful gown. kproche brought people drinks, but kept getting mobbed by cute straight boys interested in the costume. karisu_sama swaggered around, putting swords to throats, and lips to lips. kilah_hurtz stood to the side of the entrance, plotting to build a warrior race. didjiman skirted the outsides, and dove in to capture a soul here and there. saycestsay held court on the far side of the room, surrounded by a circle of adoring men. luckinspades bounced around the room with a flogger and a tail. dave_galagher offered sad commentary on math skills, while dinogirl looked on fondly.

My singular thought on waking up Saturday morning.
