YOU GUYS. I LEAVE FOR PAX IN TWO DAYS.

Adding to my list of insane PAX ideas: rolling around the Convention Center on my skates. It would be just like derby! Except that I'd be bobbing and weaving through 60,000 nerds, instead of half-a-dozen-or-so derby girls. And nobody else would be on skates.

...okay, so this probably won't happen. But I *am* tempted to bring my skates and at least roll around on the streets of Seattle on Thursday night. Cancelled derby practice last weekend, and not being in town for practice this weekend equals too much time away from my skates.

Anyhoo, my free weekend was so, so necessary, and I can't complain about it at all. I did get a monster headache on Saturday which took me down for the count for a while, but other than that, I got to goof off and laptop party with Alyson, Carolyn, and Alicia during the day, hit up a graduation party late in the evening, clank an extra pint with

katlyn and

daemonwise, sleep until 11am for two days in a row (!), camp out at Backspace for some relaxed-and-groovy work time, and go on a spontaneous urban hike all by my lonesome.

Being hyper-social has been an effective reminder of how wonderful it is to be by myself. The balance I struck between social and anti-social this weekend was pretty darned perfect. And wow, I haven't enjoyed an aimless stroll that much in ages.

I love this town, and the people in it.
