(Backstory: holmes_iv showed me this, and I thought it'd be even more profound in 1337. Perhaps "profound" isn't the right word....)

I'm home.

I'm... tired, but honestly, I never got that old sort of wiped out where my judgement and ability to keep my cool really evaporated. I have no explanation other than that water, Gatorade and maybe preemptive Tagamet are good for a lot, and it's a shame I didn't learn to use them a long time ago. Maybe I really _am_ in better shape these days, too.

The game was... I am pleased beyond words with how well it went, how much I grew and learned, and how proud I am of what we did. foldedfish and hca have me at their disposal for the next time.

I've been involved in a lot of amazing things, but I've never felt a part of a group that talented and that mature and that funny before. I liked it. That had a lot to do with keeping my energy level up.

And the only reason I'm not talking about it with the insane glee I felt all weekend is that now I am really tired. And I'm afraid I'm going to start talking like a grum again. It's terribly catching.
