Even if I wore a tie — which turned out to not be as horrible as I imagined — spending lots of time with several of the good people™ had it’s drawbacks. The paradox that is separation: want to hang out more right now but at the same time the social wiring in the head is burnt out and need quiet. These people are thankfully people I see sort of fairly regularly but still. Can’t imagine the problems if I met a bunch of you guys — I predict a major mental itchiness from that scenario. (I mean, Stephanie is the only one I’ve met and she’s already one of my favourite Internet people.)
