Okay, there are a thousand things I\u2019ve been dying to blog about, and the pile of half-finished posts in my dashboard is proof of that. But as I\u2019ve said ad nauseum<\/em>, I process things by writing, and I couldn\u2019t write anything coherent about anything else until I first addressed my complete breakdown. Now that it\u2019s in words it\u2019s real to me in a way that it wasn\u2019t before, and I feel like I can breathe again.<\/p>\n

Which is great, because I can now say that I am genuinely looking forward to social interaction for the first time in a while. Specifically, this social interaction: <\/a><\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m pretty sure Jen must have gotten schnockered one night and passed out at her laptop with her fingers flung across the c, a, and l keys, because the website lists me right here on this page<\/a> as part of the support team.<\/p>\n

I know, I don\u2019t believe it either, so here\u2019s a screen cap to prove to both of us that it\u2019s true<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>

Leaving aside how laughable it is that I might be able to provide support for anyone unless they really need help figuring out who the best incarnation of the Doctor was (BECAUSE IT WAS 9, YOU FOOLS!), this is going to be the coolest event ever, and I\u2019m ridiculously excited. I\u2019m not even a little anxious, which is probably because it\u2019s a good five months away, but even so. Austin! My favorite city on earth! The home of greatness and Jen and Torchy\u2019s Freakin\u2019 Tacos! My little brother and my sis-in-law! Food trucks! Eclectic stores! People parking backward! Good music! AUSTIN!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plus, the event itself is going to be off the hook. (Is that saying still a thing? Can I say that? Am I dating myself?) Just check out the schedule of events<\/a>. I cannot wait for the chair massage, because that\u2019s totally random and hilarious.<\/p>\n

So mark your calendars for February 12, buy a ticket, and come hang out with us! Also, go over to Jen <\/a>and Hallie<\/a>\u2018s blogs to thank them for putting this together. Because they\u2019re the shizzle.<\/p>\n
