Regina Noctis

I’m leaving this here, instead of as a comment on your journal, so it can be posted just for you. That way can’t see it, since the post you put up asking her questions is not locked and she’d see this comment.

You must have missed what said here about her. She is bad news, and you probably shouldn’t encourage her to engage. You might also want to warn your fiance.

Love you lots. Wish you’d been able to make it to BayCon. I missed seeing you there.

Could the Writer of the Cosmic Universal Soap Opera please background me as a character and go pick on someone else for a while? Please? Enough with the drama! Doesn’t someone else deserve their own story arc by now?

Barring that, I think it’s time we re-negotiate my contract. I deserve much higher pay for all the shit I get written into!

I don’t have the ambition to work my way through nearly two weeks of LJ entries from my prolific friends list. Maybe later (by which time it will, of course, have grown farther) after I’ve had some time to deal with other things. Like, for example, the fact that I am peopled-out. I’m not the same kind of social butterfly I once was, and am in need of some non-communicating, all-alone time to recharge. Never used to be the case, and I haven’t entirely adjusted to the fact that it is now. I get overwhelmed with togetherness after a while, and it always takes me by surprise when I do. I’m going to retreat for a bit, and then I’ll try to catch up on LJ and with the 200-some emails that accumulated during the two weeks I was away.

Despite the need-for-quiet-alone-time flag being raised, I’m glad I went. I got to see lots of people I only get to see once a year, or even a whole lot less often than that (I’m looking at you, ). While there was major pre-convention drama, I managed not to step in any lying around at the con itself. There was also a notable lack of drama post-con as well.

I’ve discovered how much of a sucker I am, since I wasn’t going to work BayCon next year. I was going to take the time off and play. But no. I’m working again next year. I’m just not running night registration. The Queen of the Dark Side of Reg is dead, all hail the Kingkajou. And no one even tried to talk me into it or anything. I managed to talk/guilt myself into it.

Besides, I got a BayCon hero award. It went a long way toward soothing my ruffled feathers. As a matter of fact, I very nearly cried when it was given to me. I’ve been told by a lot of folks that I’ve been running night reg very well and that the work I do is appreciated, but there’s something about a tangible proof that really made it hit home emotionally.

And, most importantly…

Con Ops says what?
