Hello all! I am back home, and I, too have The Ick, and I am sorely disappointed, because I fell asleep post-Prom and didn't get to make out with anyone and got it anyway. *grumps* My throat is so sore right now that I can barely swallow. But it was so, so worth it.

It was, in fact, LEGENDARY.

Turns out everything really IS bigger in Texas, including airport delays, so smonster and I got back fairly late last night, and I'm zombie-ing my way through work this morning. Luckily, expectations are low.

It was so wonderful to see everyone, to meet folks I had not yet met, and to see folks again that I already had. I miss everyone desperately already. Can we do it again next month?

Yay, juliana, for posting many of my pics! I'll try to get the rest up on flickr before lunch and post a link. smonster has a bunch, too. We'll get on that today.

I haven't looked at all the pictures yet, but it appears from photographic evidence that all I did all weekend was drink shots and fall asleep in weird places. Which, okay, not entirely inaccurate, I guess. At least there's no evidence of the FACEPLANTING and crawling, because that would be undignified. And I'm all about dignity.

A million, billion thank-yous to the very non-invisible deb (whom I am sad that I barely got to interact with, save for a quick ride to North Beach) for all that you did to make this weekend possible. Your generosity blows my mind. Thank you and kisses (because I got The Ick so I should get kisses, dammit!) to Drew for all your work putting together a kickass playlist for us for prom. YOU RULE. To juliana, the bestest, most LEGENDARY hostess EVAH, thank you darling, you made my weekend in so many ways, and I miss you terribly already. There will be more legendary. PADDYWHACK DEMANDS. We can only obey.

Thank you to Suzi for organizing the baseball outing, and generally taking care of us all. MWAH. MWAH. MWAH. Getting to meet you was Teh Awesome.

Thank you to Consuela for bringing Laura Shapiro to us, and yay to Laura Shapiro for coming and for sticking around for Prom (woo!).

Thank you to Hec for showing us around the Haight and for shoulder rubs and for bringing us late-night SA who went and graduated this weekend when we weren't looking. (P.S. LOVE AND CONGRATS TO SA!!!!!)

Yay for The Power Of The Amy/Aimees! I was so happy to see Aimee again and so glad to meet AmyLiz and AmyParker! If only we had gotten a legendary photo of AMY/AIMEE-NESS, people would realize that we are going to TAKE OVER THE WORLD. amych, we need to get you to one of these so that we can have FULL-POWER AMY. It will be something to see.

Oh, amych, I have a gift for you from Hec which I need to get to you. So we need to get together. Yay!

I am so excited that I got to meet Fay, who more than lived up to my expectations of being MADE OF AWESOME, and I can't wait to pimp Supernatural to her, and be pimped SGA in return by her and Kate P and Nutty and, oh, the world. Bring it on, loves.

There is so much more, but my brain is scrambled. Hugs and sanitary virtual kisses to everyone!

Pete - thanks for posting the COMW stuff - but I thought it was agreed to post without attributions. Cause....well.....gah!

How much do I love the frog line though. That was priceless.

Amyth, I'm glad you enjoyed the ballgame and my constant herding didn't overshadow the fun. I think I was a sheep dog in a past life.

I am pleased to report that after bolting through the entire first season of Slings & Arrows at record speed

SA has, quite possibly, surpassed Shrift in fannish crackwhoredom.

ION, all your Ick are belong to me.

Amyth, I'm glad you enjoyed the ballgame and my constant herding didn't overshadow the fun.

No way. You are crazy fun.

At the Baseball Game: Ma'am, please open your frog.

That was me.

I'm not whining, I'm complaining.

Also me. Though perhaps I shouldn't admit that.

Hi. I have 666 unread messages in this thread, for later reading. What Kate said, and what amyth said.

I had a fantabulous time. I slept 10 hrs last night on top of many cat naps throughout the day, and still have the ick. Worth it, though.

At some point when I feel human again, I shall squee and bounce and thank people individually. Right now I'll just say I love y'all, and miss y'all. This weekend was totally made of LEGENDARY.

The world is made of far less gronk today than yesterday, but I'm still pretty F2F-lagged. (And I noticed in the deli getting my bagel this morning that I am STILL set on auto-dance from the Prom and Sunday.)

Also, on a selfish and shallow note, I am the WORLD'S WORST bookmarker, and I have not the powers of Nilly. Could everyone who posted links to pictures add the word "cephelopod" to the post where they did it, for easy searchability?

I bought you used, cheap, German porn.

This was me, to Teppy.

Hmph (that was for Nicole)

::attempts the sad puppy dog look::

I'm sorry. Truly, truly sorry. I don't even recall wearing it... but that's not much of an excuse since I've already been informed of a few other things I don't recall doing during the weekend o' fun.

Honestly, though, I'm not usually so careless with other people's belongings. Can I blame the fernet?

ION ~ Someone replaced the lymph nodes in my throat with golf balls.

Nicole! NOW you are sick? Geeeesh. Suckage.

I'm still ick-less. And, all things considered, that is pretty amazing. No complaints. Nope. Not a one. Other than y'all need to come back here!
