still having trouble believing any of this happened.
what i do know is that my life improved exponentially after my historic pilgrimage across the country to meet other internet weirdos.
i watched all the footage again, finally. and i'm trying not to cry! it was real and it happened!
without a hint of irony, i have to say that this was probably the single most important event of my life so far. keep in mind i'm only 21 and have never traveled across the country, so far from home, on my own, in an unfamiliar climate, to meet strangers. and i didn't even get lost once! before this trip i only ever left my house to go to work.
each of the four days was spent hanging out with various ballpit people that i barely knew at all, yet when we got together it was like we'd been friends for years. we clicked instantly. there was no awkwardness at all. i've been bad about keeping in contact but i'm gonna try and talk to some of you again one on one because you're all great.
it really marked the start of my new year, it cleared my head, and now i can look at the footage and realize that i kind of fit right in with these other incredible crazy internet people and maybe i'm not as much of an outsider as i like to think. regardless of my weird tangents...everyone's got those weird moments sometimes, right?
the f plus is probably one of the best things to happen to me. i mean that. nowadays it's not the only thing i have to look forward to, but for a solid year and a half, it was really all i had to ground me. and now listening to the podcast has been enhanced since i can picture the ridiculousness going on behind the screen.
yes, i am posting this a month and a half late. but cut me some slack! i just relived a game-changing moment in my life and i'm getting all emotional again.
plus, i'm canon in the f plus extended universe now
