While is good to be back in my own comfy bed and having sun again I've been feeling sad since I came back on Monday. I keep expecting Joe, Sara, Roger and Cacti to walk through the door to hang out. I rarely make emotional or long posts and the trip had is good and bad but I feel I have to tell you guys I love you and it was one of the best, most meaningful experiences of my life.
Yop & Mage - Our TLS parents, you guys are awesome. Yop you lovely tsundere Dutchman, it was amazing to finally meet you after all these years and rubbing your beard several times, that thing is majestic. Mage you're just one awesome, fabulous bitch and you can mother us any time. I hope we get to hang out more next year and I'm so glad your cat go through ok. I will never forget the sex shop, no it wasn't Sara or me who got in trouble even though we like touching things, it was Mage.
Mo - We didn't get a chance to interact much but you're awesome and you looked so endearingly confused during the card game at the pub and my explanation probably didn't help at all.
Alan - It was so good to see you again man and to properly hang out this time, you're such a sweetheart. We didn't get to orgy in your bed, I hope we can change that in Vancouver.
Kevin - You fucking delightful funny Irish, you're one of those people that's so easy to get along with. We were all so sad when you left, it was like we lost an important part of us. You had some of the best moments in the trip, the death by dynamite in the card game, your hair flip with Jon was majestic and I loved our Power Rangers discussion.
Fangu - Girl we finally got to meet, it was so cool after all these years chatting on skype and then there we were. Thanks for all the wine, you know the way to a woman's heart. I'm still laughing at our Sunday breakfast after KupoCon and you ordered a pizza, took one bite of it and essentially went:
Roger - We known each other for a couple of years now but we never really had a chance to properly interact before the trip and I'm so glad we got a chance to because you're one of the sweetest person I've ever met but you can also do some sick burns. When you got on the plane and called Joe I was sitting next to him and my heart just melted.
Who the fuck is Cacti? Turns out he's an awesome and super nice guy. I didn't really have any expectations about you going into the trip because our limited interactions but now I can honestly call you a friend. And my friend I will introduce you to the awesomeness that is Avatar.
Marcus & Ami -Well you two we finally got to reunite, took a while but we got there. Ami you not recognizing Marcus when he arrived is still a highlight and Marcus your excitement about surprising Fangu was adorable.
Lex - I'm not sure there's much to say here that you don't already know. I love you, you've been my best friend for a very long time, we laugh, we bicker, we gossip, we play etc. I'm still mad that I was in the bathroom when you arrived.
Sara - Holy shitballs girl, by far the biggest surprise of the trip. Is a shame we hadn't really interacted before but you seemed really cool, Joe and Lex said you were awesome and I was going to like you but fucking hell did not expect how easy it was to click with you. I said jokingly on discord about a week before the trip when you were shitting on GoT if you wanted to be my best friend but like now I really mean it, girl you're the shit. Is sad that we can only hang out once or twice a year but at the same time it might be for the best, I don't think Joe could survive us together for extended periods of time. And P.S. you can share a bed with me again any time.
Joe - For the sake of our emotions lets just leave it at your my best friend, I love you, I will always be there for you. Anything you want, I'm here.
