Friday night, after reading LJs at 2am, Hope and I went back upstairs to sleep, but we started talking and decided to try to wait up for Megan (Hope's partner, who was driving up Friday night. She was supposed to come to the conference with us, but she didn't get enough of her thesis done and stayed behind, see...) So Hope and I were very tired and very punch-drunk, and I laughed so hard that I couldn't stop coughing. All I can say is this: Aussie MOIST Shampoo and Phatty's Phat Stick. Just thinking about it makes me snicker. Megan knocked around 6am (the hotel wouldn't give her our room number and she forgot the paper she had it written on, and after sleeping in the car for a few hours she was successful in waking up Kazumi and getting the room number) and we probably fell asleep around 7am. Hope needed to go to a Session 1 workshop (at 9am) for work, but I ended up skipping Session 1 and the plenary and sleeeeeping until about 11am, when Rob and Hope and Meg came back and wanted food.
I got dressed, we went to the mall to eat: me, Hope, Megan, Rob, and Will. We ran into Brett (the boss), who ended up coming along. After lunch, it was time for my favorite session of all: the double-session youth creative writing workshop. We did lots of goofy exercises and sharing and running around acting stupid and it was WAY fun. Maybe if you're lucky I'll post something I wrote there. Maybe. After that, Hope, Megan, Rob and I met for what sounded like a cool session (a "Family Feud" game show type thing on the difference between young and older queers). It ended up being way lame and so we all decided to stagger our leaving early. As if on cue (this HAS to stop happening), Hope and I got up at the exact same second.
We went to dinner at a mexican place down the street (Megan is vegetarian and Hope is vegan, which limits options) and then goofed off for a while. Megan, Hope and I wandered and talked, Rob went to a bar with Will and Justin and Mike and someone else... Rob got scared when they went to a leather bar to look for Daddies, so he ran back to us. Hee. Fabiola came over and was a ham for the camera. She is so cute.
Somewhere in there, Jonathan totally violated me. That boy needs to learn some boundaries. He was trying to simulate rape with Hope, and then me. For the camera. NOT cool. I ended up having to physically push him off of me. I don't like doing that.
Sunday we all went to brunch, picking up Fabiola along the way. We met up with two people from BRAVO in Columbus and they ate with us. We checked out, I gave the receipt to Brett, ran into Jeff and hugged him goodbye, and then Megan, Hope, Rob and I ditched the final plenary to get into Megan's car so we didn't have to take the Minnow. I got home around 9. It was weird to sleep alone, to be alone, to be in the "real world." I'm not sure I've recovered. I worked 8.5 hours today and saw 5 clients. I'm fratzed.
