48 hour party personal log (disjointed thoughts)

[marsden_online]

There was only one way the weekend could have been substantially improved for me, and I may even have been hit on a couple of times - I'm not sure. But unfortunately not by anyone whom it was appropriate to respond to in kind :(

My focus is too shot to work consistently on photos right now :( So task-switching. And lunch,

My mood for the weekend was pretty stable at "good". No remarkable highs, I think I was just too tired from the working week and I deliberately took a 'steady as she goes' approach. Only one dip, Sunday morning.

The party was very well organised (at least from an outsider's perspective) and the drama level was low (I counted 3 notable (to me) incidents). It seemed to attract pretty much the ideal number of people for the venue at all times. There were not actually as many people out of the woodwork as I had expected, although some very rarely seen faces were there.

My lounge once again played host to 5 members of Carthage (reprising 200-something), which one member described as "weirdly nostalgic, and glissom who was over from Australia for the event camped in the dining room. It was good to have the place at capacity.

The formalities on Saturday night were short and sweet. As mentioned in a earlier post I was presented with my life membership, so I can no longer claim to have never been a member (still never been a -financial- member)(coming up on what I consider will be my 17th anniversary with KAOS). Hopefully this means a complementary copy of the manifesto each year (I usual purchase one for the archive). It did come with a gratuity in the form of a tank-worth of petrol voucher, which I conveniently used on Sunday :)

I was told many many times how wonderful I am (you really think I don't know that, people :p ) and also how much a beard suits me. I also scored some double takes by tying my hair back (it was getting in the way)(I used to always have it tied back!).

Now, let's have another go at starting on those photos.
