Well, as those who've seen me recently can attest, I made it through the stomach bug without dying. My tummy is still a bit picky about what I can put in it, as the marathon vomiting really damaged my insides (it's now been two weeks since the virus onset; Pray to ALL the gods that you don't get that virus!)

I am very glad that I let draconisferret convince me to attend FOS this year. I've had people invite me before, but the fact that I've been soliatry for so long, coupled w/ a pretty bad case of claustrophobia, has kept me from doing so. The meetings at Mama Dragon's have helped pull me out of my shell a bit, but I'm still a pretty closed off individual. There were several times during the weekend that I had that "outside looking in" feeling, but I know that most of that was because of my walls and I there were times when I know I was giving off the "leave me be" vibe. Honestly, the fact that I was able to make the tenuous connections w/ the few people I did amazed me. Thanks to dyinginwinter , nair_al_saif_ , lunarastar22, and of course draconisferret (and Jay) for keeping me from hiding the whole weekend. There were others (like Mama Dragon, herself), of course, but if they have LJ's, I don't know them. So here's a general thank you to those people.
