AnthroCon and thoughts and being really rambly.
12 years ago
Huh. Well, I'm here in the Doubletree on the last night of being at the convention and trying to be quiet since one of my roommates is here, and stuff. I'unno, I feel kinda weird! I've just sort of been thinking a lot the past day or two. It's past midnight and I'm in a strange mood so half of this is probably silly and pointless.
There's a fountain really close to the Doubletree, a big one with water jets (I suppose?) and lighting at night and stuff. We don't really have big ones like that where I'm from, so it was really nice! At night (before it's shut off at late night) it lights up all orange. I kind of wanted to just go out to the fountain at night with someone at some point and just relax, and talk, and enjoy it and the cool night air and everything. I'm silly, though, so I never really ever actually -asked- anyone. So obviously it didn't happen!
I was walking back to the doubletree alone earlier 'cause my roommates were going to stay at the convention for awhile longer, and the walk and breezy night air woke me up, when I had been going back since I was really tired (among other reasons). I ended up walking around the fountain for a half hour, although it'd already been turned off, heh. The ripples on the water from the wind were still really nice, and it was really breezy.
...it was really nice getting to see everyone again, along with meeting some new people! Since this was my second AC, I actually had an idea of what I was getting into, and some goals in terms of who I wanted to hang out with a bunch.
...in crowds, it's really easy to be around, even right next to someone, for hours and hours, but in the end it doesn't really feel like I actually hung out with them at all.
Although, anyway, really, for the most part things were great! Heretic's cactus button is the best. I was walking with him one-on-one when he talked about the idea of getting one, heh. (And again when he went to pick it up!) And if you don't know about Shaq Soda, well, uh, it's certainly a thing. They had towers of it on our table in the zoo after people found out about it. (And then there's that time Jag stole the poster from the Crinkle Club... *shuddergiggle*)
But, anyway. Mmmn... it's a little depressing to think about going home and just going between work and the computer for a year. I really don't have anyone to hang out with at home, and while that didn't bother me a whole lot for quite awhile, recently... more and more I've been thinking "It'd be really nice to take someone with me out to a restaurant" or "I'd like to just spend a night watching movies on the couch with someone", or make dinner for people, or other little things like that.
Maybe it's 'cause I've been skyping with people more! :P (I'm at least halfway joking)
...I've been wondering more, mostly while I was walking around the fountain just a little bit ago, about the possibility of moving in with someone. It's both a really appealing and also kind of scary thought. The living situation I'm in now has some big downsides (cockroaches, water breaks constantly, other minor but bleh issues like broken shower handles) but I like the town I live in itself, and my rent is fairly low (200-ish a month plus my own food), and I have a feeling I like my job more then I'd like most others I'd have any chance of getting.
Bagging groceries might sound boring and average, but the customers are almost all really nice, I get to hang out with the cashiers a decent bit and one or two of them are really fun personalities, and I get about 30 hours a week; not a measly low 20 and not 40, which for some inexperienced young person like me feels like it'd be really heavy or whatever! But, anyway. then apart from that... I have my brother, sister, and uncle around (the latter a really small amount of the time and my sister only sporadically, but) to back me up whenever I need some help with whatever.
If I moved out somewhere far away, I'd kinda lose all of that! Mmph... I guess I don't really know how to weigh the upsides and downsides. I'm not familiar enough with what they even are. I hadn't ever done anything like "snuggling" until this AC in the first place! (It was weird, but pleasant, moreso in certain situations/people/whatever/snuggling is average isn't it?! Augh! D:)
...I'm ranting a whole lot! It's been like a half hour, I should probably go to bed. Tomorrow's gonna be weird, because there's going to be 4~7 hours where I won't have a room (and after a bit I don't think people in the Westin will either; noon checkout time limit) as my flight doesn't leave until almost 6pm. But, whatever, it's not a big deal :3 Just have to lug around my suitcase for awhile!
It's called luggage because YOU HAVE TO LUG IT AROUND EVERYWHERE AUGH
Good night people!
...in a mood like this, I kind of wish I had a coin to throw into the fountain before I left.
