Woo.. Came out of AC alright. Also been seeing a number of familiar faces around SF events, here and there. Very cool.
I also love being on this timezone. There are a couple people whom I almost never get to talk to except when I'm on PST.
Just some quick reflections; I think I've drifted into passivity when it comes to my cons. I find that I'm not out there actually making things happen; too much hanging calmly. My personality shifts so wildly in different environments. It's something I should probably work on. I think rekindling efforts on the social front within the fandom might be a good thing.
Essentially, I have my RP friends, and I have my Con friends. There's some limited overlap, but I seem to mainly keep abreast with my RP ones. Of course, there's also RL, IRC, Gaming, work, fuck.. I mean, I enjoy knowing a lot of people, but it makes it a bit hard to develop the tighter, deeper relationships that I tend to see around me when in any given environment. Having more of an agenda would help me keep more consistency and give me more social momentum. Eh! Just a thought that bares some reflection.
One thing I haven't done in a while is pushed for commissions. It's not like I have a shortage of ideas, it's just the community of artists has kind of gotten away from me. I'll have to focus a bit more on that. Return to a greater supports of the arts; particularly those whose I appreciate.
Then I guess finally, maybe I should be more public with my interests, and my own works. I should probably sit down and kick out some good solo slash or something. I'm pretty big into certain RP scenes, but fucked if I can figure out how to spend solo time. I just have this huge social need which needs to be filled, so I find focused work rather difficult. It leaves me wondering if perhaps this is a result of the broad range of friendships and acquaintances I'm trying to juggle, with fewer of the close/intimate type.
I dunno! It all bares some thought. Not to turn this into LJ, but.. Fuck, I should just post more in general. So here ya go!
Bullet points:
- More solo projects. Make time for these.
- Throw more money at people whose work interests me
- Produce more, be more active in the fandom outside of my clandestine circles.
- Reintegrate a running but flexible agenda at conventions.
- Figure out what to do about the endless branching of my social circles and their implication.
- Oh, also drink less at cons. Hard to deepen relationships when the one time I see certain people, I'm hung over as fuck and can't word good.
That's it for now.

I think (I hope?) I fit in amongst the Con Friends category; it certainly is great getting to meet and hang out with ya at FC!
With that being said each round of FC I think to myself 'why dont I bother azulez more?'
My bullet-points list for 2014\post-FC share some similarities, but for sure 'bug folks more' is on mine.
