Back from my sojurn into the land of cheese!
It was a long(ish) trip and the beginning was full of social anxiety problems because I knew only one person there, but once the friend that invited us showed up it got a little better. Played Cards Against Humanity for an hour or so (where I got the two black cards I always seem to get when I'm the Card Czar) and then five of us played 'Arkham Horror' where we "won" against the monster, I was the busty researcher, and towards the end I started to roll like Wil Wheaton on Tabletop.
During the game one of the girls started a running joke about zombie hookers and so by the end we were all doing it. Then we ran in the new year and were in bed by 1:30am because we're all old people now.
Then this morning lukeblooberry and I were going to stop at Mikey's Dairy Bar for food but it was closed so we decided to hit the road and stop somewhere on the highway. As we were leaving we passed a frozen lake and saw a bunch of people ice fishing. And since we're from Illinois both of us started cracking up because we'd never seen it before in real life and found it to be the best.
Overall once the awkwardness of interacting socially with people I don't really know was over, I had a nice time and the corgi that the couple hosting the party had was adorable (even if I couldn't pet it) and I made a few new friends.
