sunday: panic attack about buying clothing
monday: panic attack meant i didn’t pack as much as i wanted yesterday and i slept bad so i had to pack in a super hurry once i actually got out of bed, leave house at 1 PM, forget purse, return to house, retrieve purse, arrive at airport at 1:45, flight at 2:20, TLH -> ATL -> SFO, land 9 hours later
tuesday: register for GDC, hike 10 blocks uphill to my hotel to deal with an urgent ass work situation that i can’t tell anyone who i don’t work with about, come back to GDC, play some games at day of the devs, do the discord booth tour, run to a party being thrown by literal actual billionaires that i was personally invited to where i had many many drinks such as a color changing cabbage vodka thing and a grapefruit/lime/coffee liqueur/whiskey thing, see friends who hug me a lot and make me cry, go back to hotel with shitty mush pillows, attempt to sleep
wednesday: go to GDC, wait 40 minutes for a banh mi, walk around the whole damn conference center twice, play sylvie lime and sonic adventure on the dreamcast and not a single other video game, grab a Code CWA pin with the intent of wearing it on my Discord staff lanyard at the booth tomorrow, start getting ready for happy hour thing, decide to skip happy hour, go to a bomb ass ramen place with coworkers, it has a 3 hour wait so we turn the corner and go to an izakaya that basically just opened, eat spicy miso ramen so good i nearly cried, bring coworkers to hotel room to watch Cocaine Bear, collectively scream about all of the gore in Cocaine Bear, get threatened by hotel security with being kicked out for “noise” at 10:30 PM with no prior warning, panic attack, sleep like ass
thursday: morning shift at the booth, but because i slept like ass i did not have time for any food or coffee, and YET i did a four hour shift where i was autism masking the WHOLE time and absolutely rolling the highest charisma checks i’ve rolled since retail, actually stick the landing on wearing the CWA pin, check out of shift, feet hurting too bad to walk 10 blocks uphill so lyft back to Shit Hotel With Bad Pillows And Wack Ass Management, get Halal Guys on the way back, attempt to nap, mostly fail, shower, pack, go to dinner with coworkers at a different nice ass bar where i had two drinks that are so wild that the only one i can hope to accurately describe is a whiskey coke but the coke is kumquat cola instead, go back to hotel, finish packing, get in lyft to airport at 10:00 PM, arrive at airport at 10:40, get through security, and then midnight strikes so now it’s
friday: flight at 12:40 AM from SFO -> MSP, attempt to sleep on plane, absolutely fuckin fail that, mostly because the dude in the seat next to me had his phone on full brightness no night mode during a fucking red eye and he kept rotating the phone shooting more light in my face even after i politely asked him to dim it, land at MSP at just before 6 central, 8 AM flight from MSP -> MCO—no, not Tallahassee, MCO, like Orlando, like Orlando International Airport, okay, land at MCO at just after noon eastern, claim my bag, call a Lyft, take a Lyft to fucking Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, pray my room’s ready, it is, lug my checked bag to my room, get in the bed, look at the animals outside of my room, write this post, ideally nap after it’s done, wait for my wife to finish driving here from tallahassee, get dinner with wife, sleep. this bed doesn’t suck so that helps.
saturday: fucking animal kingdom. avatar bitches. “and, um, fly”. you know the vibes. gonna go commune with the navi, fuck you. we’re getting breakfast with donald duck, getting dinner at the lounge, we planned this trip literally months before i knew discord was going to GDC, i am absolutely deranged for this
sunday: breakfast, some other shit in the morning (maybe sea world orlando to ride ice breaker cuz jae and i have passes, definitely the mall because it has stores tallahassee doesn’t have), drive 4 hours back home, kiss my cats oh so much, then maybe, hopefully, ideally, sleep
i am fucking unhinged. never do this. do not live like me. ever.
