It's been a little over a year since I've had the chance to see/talk or meet you guys and I was really nervous about breaking that trend to bus it out to Philly. -- But thanks to a special someone and even more special people helping out in the background, I picked up the courage to throw the hermit shell i had been living under to the ground and get the fuck out there.
I was fine the whole drive down there, listening to music and not really focusing on much to prevent myself from getting all worked up about the whole deal. The last thing I wanted to do was get there in the middle of some ridiculous anxiety attack. Would be a most shitty way to start things out.
Seeing Slacker, Krazie and Fireguardian put me right into a mentality that I thought I had lost; Fuck, man, I had great friends! That despite my inability to pick up a phone and call, were still willing to scoop me up and accept me back into the fold.
I'm not really going to give a huge play by play of my experience with this NEST, but I will say that it was the best I have ever gone to. Hands down. -- I met a ton of new folks and had the chance to grow closer to the ones I've not seen in quite awhile.
Every experience I had over the weekend was better than the last and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. -- Even when I got completely shit faced and pulled Amanda out of dinner and had Mike and Viper babysitting me until I got moderetely more sober. Or staying up until 6 in the mother fucking morning and feeling so tired that I could have sworn I was hearing shit. (No, Krazie, it wasn't the fucking spiders.)
And thank you, Mona, for addicting me to Arbor Mist. I have plans to purchase some to keep on hand in Casa CrystalLight. I also most enjoyed being your Superhero .. in certain situations.
Thank you most of all to Lee for allowing me to be there.
Thank you to all my room-mates for allowing me to room with y'all.
Thank you to those who put up with my obnoxious-ness-ess.
Thank you to all who went on countless smoking trips with me.
Thank you DSL for being there. And making me eat. And being thisclose to making me fucking cry in fucking public, you fuck.
Slacker, Thank you for giving me the courage to go.
Amanda, Get rid of the glasses.
Lyz, Thank you. I am glad we didn't put enough effort into hanging out this time. I never realized you're actually interesting to talk to. =P
Mr.Ticklee, As always, I had a smash spending time with you.
Texas, you're a sweet-heart. Don't give up on finding your happiness. It's out there.
Classy, I love you so much, mama. It was great spending more time with you.
Rhino, I enjoyed your meat in my mouth. Immensely.
TKLMAN, I laugh that it took me getting to Philly for us to finally meet even though we live about an hour apart. I know: It's my fault. Blah blah. Next time learn how to Follow Through with the delivery of a pizza.
Amnesiac, Spending those brief intervals of time with you was most entertaining. I think one of the best parts of my weekend was relaxing on the couch and listening to you hold discussion on 90's albums. Now that I was nice to you, I'll say this: 28 days, bitch.
Krazie: Baby, you already know.
Lady Gaga: Please bring your rapist suitcase again, so we can have a better party. Just carry that bitch around like a purse. I love you so hard, lil' woman. And I'll sext the dogshit out of you.
Mrs. Slacker: LOVED spending time with you! I wish you could have stayed longer. 🙁
IFD: You ladies are all lovely. It was swell seein' y'all. Especially in the dope ass hoodies!
Cassi: I'm really glad we got to talk again. Was most needed. I wish you all the happiness in the world.
Kassi: FINALLY we're talking!! It only took two years..ish. SO stoked I got to spend more time with you. And I plan on it continuing. Or else..
Kered: Your presence always makes the Gatherings an amazing place to be. ILY. And no I'm not getting off your lawn. Deal with it or make Mexican Rob mow it. Or Slacker.
God. I really wish I could continue and go by individual, but y'all know how hard that is. It's like starting out super strong then realizing a little ways through that there are just *so many fucking people* and *so many moments* that it's literally impossible to name them all out single style.
From Germany to Florida and all the fuck over: -- You all touched my heart in a way that I'll never be able to word properly. -- A year of hell was most easy to forget after spending a weekend with you guys. And I'll never be able to properly thank any of you for that. I can only hope that some of you, or enough of you "get it".
Jo was definitely Happy Kitty this past weekend.
I Love y'all. Mucho Grande.
Now go fuck off.
Always,
