Yesterday was such a dichotomy of a day. But first, let me rewind and do my full con review.
I was a little sad on the flight out, because most of my D&D server had to drop out for one reason or another. All completely valid reasons! I'm glad they took care of themselves! But I was sad. In past cons, I've kind of felt like an outsider, and didn't socialize much, mostly keeping to just talking to Jess and![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
poisontaster almost exclusively. I wonder in retrospect if I came across as standoffish.
So on my flight, I had the epiphany that this con was going to be what I made of it. I could do what I'd always done and had that vaguely dissatisfied feeling at the end, or I could do what I did for the first Wincon and put myself out there.
So armed with that, once I arrived, I posted in the Discord that I was going to go out and get food, was anyone interested. Which is how I ended up meeting Myth. We went for very good Italian food and had a really good time. I came out of it with leftovers and some adorable Halloween Macarons.
Pictures ahoy behind the cut.
