I guess this is the moment every year when I start the "official" countdown until my birthday, since it's a month away. This is also pretty much when I stop talking about it to people. Perhaps subconsciously I care a lot more about this day than I let on, but this also falls back in to the fact that I have trouble appearing excited. I get excited about things, but I'm so used to something going wrong, that I'm always afraid of getting too excited, then having it all blow up in my face. So I either feign nonchalance, or complete disinterest, this way when it goes right, I can act surprised.

I'm not really sure if any of that made any sense ... I just woke up 20 minutes ago. My brain isn't where it normally is when I write these things.

PAX was a lot of fun! There were definitely a lot of people. I went to the one panel I wanted to go to. It's the same one I've been wanting to go to for a couple years now. I live streamed it last year, which was fine. But it was cool seeing them in person this time around. I actually got to meet two of them; not the two I'd have liked to meet, but still really awesome to meet people that I watch on YouTube.

I'm definitely thankful that I had a friend with me, who was a veteran PAX-goer, so that I could be shown the ropes without getting completely lost. I wouldn't have lasted long on my own. Next year I will probably be more prepared; I'll do more research on to what exactly I want to go do and see. I'll make sure to have more money saved up so that I might be able to actually buy something that catches my interest. Maybe I'll even wear contacts so that I can play around with the VR.

I'm thankful for the fact that today is a holiday. After the incredibly full day that was Saturday, I would not have been ready to go back to work today. It'll be only slightly more productive today than yesterday, as I've already got laundry in the wash, and I'll be showering at some point later. I may even leave my pod to go get food. Maybe. There's a lot of places closed today so I'll probably just end up staying indoors again.

You can't try VR with glasses on? Most of the headsets I've seen have been big enough to accommodate people's eyewear.
