grarble.

I fully expected to crack under the pressure of this convention.  Everyone around me fully expected me to crack as well.  I could see them watching me sideways.  Don't deny it, you traitors.  ^-^

Well, I kept it together until I was done.  And that's all that matters.  I feel worse than I have in a long time physically, but I'm relieved.  I keep getting e-mails and phone calls from people telling me how much fun they had, and I can't fucking believe it.  I thought it was absolute shit and that everything went wrong.  It seemed like every time I walked past a group of people, they were complaining about something being broken.  

At some point during the dance, I was walking around in the little lobby area where people were sitting around eating cake and overheard one guy completely ripping on the fact that we were using a spare plastic cup as a ladle for the punch since we had nothing else.  He and his friends were laughing about it, and I walked over, stood next to him, and started laughing along.  They all looked at me, but in the dark, I don't think they realized that I was the convention chairwoman, so they just kept going.  However, I caught a glimpse of that guy and his friends at closing ceremonies when I got up and started talking, and it was priceless.

There's a general rule in life that some kids have yet to learn.  When someone gives you free cake... don't complain.

Some massively bad things happened, and I took care of what I could.  But, of course, since I'm crazy, I managed to work myself into illness, and so I've spent the day full of cramps and coughing and stiffness.  It's good times.  I feel a bit better after about 20 hours of non-consecutive sleep, but it'll be a few days before I'm back to normal completely.

Thank you to all of my friends who came and helped out.  You guys are fucking awesome.  

There is an ad next to my journal update box thing from Epic that is telling me that if I show them my favorite music artists, they will help them "gain explosure in the music nation community."  I want to gain explosure in something.  That's rad.
