Well, so many different things happened this weekend that it was almost weird going back to work today. The first main thing, of course was Farpoint! (the weekend is going to be out of order, get used to it). We decided that I needed a little bit of a vacation so Andrew spent the night at his friends place and I took off for Farpoint on Saturday morning(ish). This got me up there just after noon and I was actually able to get a room! (this came in handy for multiple reasons later on). After checking in I went about seeking the rest of the Ghetto Garrison. It was great to hang out with everyone again and just kind of cut loose and relax for a change. It seems like the last few months have had me wound a little tighter than normal.
The first place on the list to check was, of course, the Bar! This is always the central meeting point for any of the GG members, and it held true as always. I met up with Cheeky Monkey Boy, who drove his insane butt up from Atlanta! The conversation came up about Wegmans (located across the street) and Robert (monkey) had never been to one. As we all know, http://www.wizzer.org/2005/02/phase-i.html Wegmans is Glorious. So Naturally We had to go for a visit. On the way back we picked up a large amount of cider (because everyone always brings beer and I don’t drink beer). When we got back (after the Monkey fully admitted how glorious it was), I jumped in line to get an Autograph from Ron Glass. (He played Shepherd Book on Firefly). Then it was game on! Everything after that was kind of a blur, not because I was drunk, but because it all happened so fast and mix together. Most of it was just hanging out and having fun. We got a sound warning while partying in Steve and Rain’s room so we moved to My room which was large enough and in an Odd location, it made it perfect. We had a blast till around 3-4am when I finally crashed out.
The next morning was a little rough, slow start, fond farewells, and a long drive home. I spent Sunday recovering. Monday was set that Doc and Diz would come by to watch some Battle Star Galactica. Before then, though, I headed out to catch Ghost Rider. My Mini review: It was Okay. Not great, not bad, just Okay. The special effects were awesome. I am not a big Ghost Rider fan so I am not sure how close it was to the comics. I was just not all that impressed with the Acting. I guess I would really have to see an issue or two to see if the acting paralleled the comic (if so, I know why I wasn’t reading the comic.)
The last thing to touch on would be a little more personal. Emily and I are no longer together. The final verdict came down on Friday. Whether it was the distance, or personalities, or just too much else going on in our lives, it just wasn’t meant to be right now. This once again shows that Fate hates me as per usual. This is not a spiteful break-up. We still talk, (hopefully more after the hurt on both ends dies down). The idea may be right, but the timing is wrong. In the meantime I have many wonderful memories that are a part of who I am now. I also have lessons learned that help me to grow as a person.
Life goes on.
