Parties for geeks!

[jaelie]

I am such a wallflower geek.

I had an invite to the Picses party. I knew it was going to be quite the, uh, lively party. When the evening in question came along, I was laying on my couch reading a book. I felt too lazy to bother. When I thought about going, I realized there would be a lot of strangers there, and was completely unenthused about that. I can be social when necessary, but my default setting is definitely introverted. Part of me thinks I should have gone for at least a little while, but the other part of me knows I would have felt uncomfortable and out of place.

On the other hand, the first weekend in June, there's going to be another party. I am totally stoked for it.

Why is that? I know exactly why. Because the majority of the attendees at that party will be gamers like me. Not all are introverts, but we will all have our geeky games to talk about when the conversation lags. Heck, I know that most of the conversation will be about games, and I'm looking forward to it.

::sigh::

Yep.

I'm a geek.

I'll be there. :)

Unless, of course, people bring their machines, and start logging on. Then, I'll have to run home, to log on, too. LOL

I don't forsee people bringing their machines. It's been all about the eating, visiting, and movie watching the past two times.

We'll have quite the LAN going on at our house, though, what with fuzake and sixtyten hopefully coming, and three of my oldest friends from DAoC at my place. Sanji and Darryl will be here from the 28th, I think. Hm. I may have to set up a station in my living room...

...and convince them to get City of Heroes accounts! LOL

Don't worry, I might not be around for the next one. Just lock the door and find somewhere to disappear to. *shrugs* :)
