I'm glad you both had a good time.I will never forget my first NEST in 2007.I had never been to a gathering before,and i was nervous.

Then i got to the hotel and was warmly greeted by so many people,and made to feel right at home.It was a liberating experience that i hope everyone here will have some day,be it at NEST or a smaller gathering.

It was a pleasure to meet you and Saeria in person. I have to smile remembering when you arrived that the talk and whispers of "Goth's here!!" circulated around the atrium as you two made your entrance from the elevator and you took it all in humble stride. I hope to see you both again.

I simply couldn't do a retelling of how i felt about the whole weekend. Haha all i know is that I was too damned chicken to say goodbye to anyone at the very end. There have been very few, and i mean VERY FEW times in my life that i have ever been moved to tears at the thought of leaving people behind like i was early Monday morning when i glared at the alarm clock and wished i didn't have to go into work that day.
I've never been the kind of person that becomes so suddenly emotionally attached to someone. When i walked through those doors that morning, however, all i could do was replay so many conversations i'd had, so many people i'd actually MET, the joy of feeling completely at ease with so many people at once. I actually sought out the company of others, awesome people, amusing and interesting people, beautiful people. Various personalities that had been displayed in text format suddenly came alive, each unique facet comingling with everyone else's in such a way that after a time, everyone there seemed to be like a part of one giant awesome person.
I remember when i first heard about NEST i used to imagine what it would be like to be that happy social person that flitted around from new face to new face, introducing myself, striking up conversation despite the anxiety that gnawed on me. Ha! Whatever anxiety i was feeling this past weekend flew out the door as i stood infront of all those people on Saturday night and did the one thing i thought i would never be able to do.
I talk too much... so anyways, i didn't say goodbye to anyone that morning because i didn't want to embarass myself but mostly because i know i'll be seeing you all again. I'll be around.

Let it be said, lady, that ya sing beautifully, and yer man's a lucky one!

[slacker2114]

Goth, I will never forget the stunned expression on your face when I said I didn't recognize you with a shirt on.

It was really great to me both you and Saeria. It's too bad I didn't get to chat with you more because you both are great people. Hopefully, we'll meet again in the near future.
