Imprints of a Golden Finger
Convention was incredible. If I'm allowed to say that, since I helped organise it. I think I can say it, because I don't think it was our preparation and organisation which allowed it to be so good and run so smoothly. It truly was touched by the finger of gold. Or perhaps more correctly, touched by the Hand of God. It was He who allowed and caused everything to run so smoothly. And who provided the perfect weather! And I am so grateful for it.Do you ever have times like that, where it seems that everything you do, no matter what you do, turns out for the best? It is an incredible blessing which I don't deserve. But, convention was a great time for it, because it blessed the lives of so many!
Some time ago, I spent several days pondering the word 'impression'. I was reminded of it these past few weeks. Who can tell me why?
One thing that I thought to myself, which is probably not entirely true, but is interesting to think about, is that, excepting for outside influences and pre-conceived ideas, it is difficult to get a wrong impression of someone. If one honestly considers the impression received, it would be the image projected by that person. People are, unfortunately, prone to project false images of themselves, for various reasons. But...ok, I'm not going to keep on going with that.
The point is, every meeting results in some form of impressioning. It can either be a good impression, or a bad impression (a depression?). But if we are honest with ourselves, it is a true impression. It can and Most likely will change. But, first impressions, as they say, last.
So, what does this mean?
It depends what result you want to create.
And so it was, that we pulled off 'The Great Con!' All the best for the coming year everyone!

When I think about some of my Most special friends, Most of them, I didn't actually like at first.
I didn't like Bee or Krys. I didn't like Steff and I Most certainly didn't like Emilie.. They all ended up to be good friends of mine. Most of them still are too.
Don't really know where I'm going with this. Just wanted to write something.
I was hot! Then I put the air con on and it got coldy =D yay!
Steven is getting fixed very, very soon! GO STEVEN! I love my car.
Did I mention also that I really really really love Jake very much? Didn't think so but I know Most of you have heard it at some point in your life time..

Yoda, your wisdom and powers of observation astound me.
Convention WAS fantastic, and it's great to remember that it was not just us, the organisers, that made it good. I think part of the blessings I recieved was the energy to actually help out. I am a very tired person in general...but I survived.
I generally try to forget my first impressions of people, because it would be unfair to judge their character on that one meeting, especially since some people aren't really themselves in a first meeting anyway. I know that I can be very shy with new people, and often say and do things that are not me at all. So I try to constantly remind myself of the 'first meeting' theory, and then remember that people can change the way they act as they mature.
Have a good one. :)
Convention was great meet some really nice pplz and had a good time missing out on some sleep. Pity I had 2 go 2 work the next day otherwise it wouldve been even betta lol.
