And Still Counting..
Oct. 7th, 2004 06:56 pm3 days.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Friday is "Geekfest." AKA TW's Almost-Bachelor-Party-Before-Everyone-Was-Broke-And-Couldn't-Afford-A-Stripper-So-We'll-Play-Videogames-Instead-Party.
Saturday is recuperation and last minute detail day.
Sunday it's done.
On a side note.. I have noticed a malaise setting in of late..
Sometimes I think reading LJ is almost a curse -- I get to read the entries of all my online friends and I
find myself wanting to be where they are. Rachel and I both like Rockford, but there's really no "scenes" here
of any kind; I miss going to the goth clubs like I did when I was at NIU -- I miss going to Nocturna and things
like that. But of course, going into Chicago is prohibitive, especially on weeknights. Rockford doesn't have
any decent clubs that I know of; I've thought of trying out Kryptonite, but as Rach and I aren't really "bar"
type people, I don't really know how comfortable we'd be, or if that really is the kind of place we want to go.
I can tell that I miss socializing. I miss going to clubs and doing the same types of activities my friends are doing,
even if I can't be in the same location. Right now, what little socializing has been done is at our RPG night, and well,
there's a limit to that forum. There's a few I'd like to hang out with outside of gaming, but we just haven't managed
to get together yet for that (stupid wedding plans and all that getting in the way.. ;)
I dunno.. I just feel like I'm missing out on all the neat stuff I used to do when I didn't have to be responsible.
Why'd I have to get stuck in a town that has no scene at all? Blah.
