It has been a busy summer! It went by quickly too. For me, summer begins once my birthday has passed at the end of May. That is when all of my plans begin. My weekends are usually busy with different events. I always host a family reunion at the end of June which I look forward to every year to kick off the season. I see friends and usually have a party or two to attend.
This year I finally did what I have been threatening to do for years, I went to the BBW Bash in Las Vegas. It was the first ever bash that I have attended. I had a lot of fun and met a bunch of new people that are now friends. The people there were friendly and welcoming. It was awesome to meet so many people from around the world who were inviting and accepting. It was great to be in an environment where I could be myself and feel comfortable.
I drank quite a bit but after a while you just need to stop. lol I hadn't been to Vegas in 12 years and interestingly enough, the last time I was on a plane was on my way back from Vegas... I was so scared because my previous flights were terrifying but the flight there and back this time were both awesome. I'm not sure if I am going to go next year because I have some plans that I want to get off the ground including paying down/off my debt. We'll see though...
I would highly recommend going to a bash at least once. You could even go to a smaller starter bash to get your feet wet if you have any qualms about going to such a big event. I would also recommend going with someone or meeting up with someone there. It's better if you know people who are going so that they can show you the ropes, a.k.a. keep you in the know about certain players that you might want to avoid. Sadly, there are some people who go there just for the sport of adding notches to there belt, much like anywhere else, but it is always good to be a step ahead.
I would also like to recommend a card game that was played quite a lot, by random groups of people in the lobby, called Cards Against Humanity. The only way that you can play that game is if you let all of your inhibitions and morals go. You have to be in a diverse group of people for it to work and you can NOT be a person who gets easily offended. It is the most horrible, yet awesome game that you will ever play. Just be prepared that by playing that game you will most likely be going to hell because you are a horrible person... lol Do I know how to sell a game, or what? It isn't the type of game that you want to play with Grandma at Christmas time, so if you do decide to get the game for family functions, I recommend that you sensor it by pulling out the most offensive cards. I already have. lol
So, I have a bunch of posts that I plan on writing, not just based on Vegas but a couple of other things that I have been thinking about for a while. There are also a couple of stories that I would like to share that are based on my experience with online dating. I'm starting to believe that I am going to be single for the rest of my life... That is a whole other post though. lol
I guess that I should start sharing this blog so that I'm not the only one reading it...
XOXO
