I wish you'd been around more!

Me too. It was poor planning on my part. (Short version: Saturday morning I waited for P. to get back from what turned out to be a three-hour bike ride before going to the hotel, which meant everyone had gone out by the time we got there. Sunday I had some writing to do, so I went home in the morning meaning to come back out, only it never quite happened.) But next year I won't be a local, so everyone will have plenty of time to get sick of me.

Note to self: kidnap LJ for a few hours next F2F.

The one thing I was disappointed about this year was missing the zoo trip with Billytea and the others. I stayed up way too late on Friday drinking with and talking to DebetEsse, MM, ND, and JohnSweden (and others?), so I didn't make it awake in time to go with the zoo trip.

eta: Not that I would have missed the chance to get to know DE or JS, or trade woh pahs with MM all night. Sigh. Too many Buffistas, too little time.

Too many Buffistas, too little time.

Sing it, sister. I also didn't get to spend nearly as much time talking to you as I wanted.

Still looking at Prom pictures. I would say that Hec and JZ are the most adorable couple EVAH!!1!, except that I also think Rebecca Lizard and Reema should hold that title. It's a puzzler and no mistake. I wanted to mention in particular that Anne W. looked especially beautiful at the Prom, Jessica and Lyra Jane are supercute, as is Tom Scola, Vortex looked like a goddess, and Raquel and Maria are both gorgeous, even if they refuse to believe the evidence of their own eyes.

Vortex looked like a goddess

I assume we're talking a fertility goddess here. Or possibly a goddess of battle, in a "You could put someone's eye out with those" kind of way.

Well, there are those Boob War photos...

"Soylent Green is boobs! BOOOOOBS!!",

Oh, great, *that's* never going to leave my head.

ND has introduced me to the crooning wonder that is Richard Cheese, and no good can come of it.

Richard Cheese is hysterical. His version "Down with the Sickness" never fails to make me laugh my ass off.

This chirp-and-wave maneuver sets off a small stampede, as workers race to collect more food and bring it back to feed the whole colony.

Why does this remind me of amyth's "bar in a bag" at the f2f?

I stayed up way too late on Friday drinking with and talking to DebetEsse, MM, ND, and JohnSweden (and others?)

and me!

For once, I felt really beautiful. I keep going back and looking at the pictures of me and thinking, hot damn, that's me!

Seconded. Both the gorgeousness of you and the feeling gorgeous of me.

Will go back and edit pics... when I get home.

And this seems sort of appropriate. Issuing another blanket invite to Buffistas on lj (not LJ) to friend me. Code name: smonsterbite. A couple people have already friended me after this weekend and I'm not sure who they "are" on Buffistas, but I friended them back anyway.

Oh yeah, and I'm wildgreentide on LJ, for them as is interested in friending me.

I am still very glittery.

and me!

Damn, I knew I was forgetting someone cool. Can we make it Sean's the booze's fault?

I am la_perkins on LJ, Smonster, and I will friend you when I get home.

Yeah, that stuff was mine. I'm missing a cd case, a water bottle, a cd by Nellie McKay, a sweatshirt, and two books--neither of which belong to me, actually. One is deb's and the other is teppy's. Was it Java that had this stuff?

I feel kind of stupid 'cause I checked the hospitality suite before I left and only saw the suitcase; and then I was in such a rush that I was hugging everyone and then running out the door to catch a cab.
