017No Shit, there I was!

posted by Jiggy on September 7th, 2006

I can’t even begin to describe what Con was like this year. For the most part everything went really smooth with only minor hiccups. I want to thank everyone involved with helping me run Harris as the reason way everything was smooth sailing.

The main reason I was very excited was getting to see my friends and have sometime to clear my head. Hanging with most of my friends down in Harris Saturday and Sunday helped out my state of mind more than any of them will ever know. It was so nice to feel wanted and accepted. I would give anything in the world to be able to have that feeling all the time. I have to hold the friends I have close because I am not good at trying to make new ones. For all of my friends out there, I love you and will be there anytime I can.

I felt a great emptiness in my mind while I was away from home. I can’t really describe it any way other than to say I felt lifted from my problems. All the shit that has been on my mind for weeks was gone. I wasn’t worried about all the things that made me so down or more correctly the person. It was very happy to not think about them and the wreck they had turned my life into in the past month. I may not have a great feeling about myself right now, or even a plan to make myself feel better but I don’t feel as low as I did when I left.

So all in all, I have great memories, good friends, and a slightly higher opinion of who I am. I would rate that as a successful trip. Thank you, Dragoncon!
