*	Random Thoughts:
	I survived PAX! You might have seen me meandering around - as far as I know, I was the only person with green hair. And I was most definitely the only person with green hair in an ArenaNet bowling shirt. There were some interesting things about the show this year, notably that there were more Guild Wars cosplayers than I can remember seeing at shows previous. There was a Gwen, Monk, Ritualist, and Mesmer that I was aware of. Certain people thought I should go get a picture with Gwen, but I don't think I have it in me to go up to someone and say "Hello! I helped define the character you are. Can I get a picture?" Other than that, there were some interesting games being shown in the exhibition hall. I really wanted to play Left 4 Dead, until it was pointed out to me that their demo stations were using controllers and not keyboard and mouse. That's like putting someone into a zombie apocalypse and saying "Here! Here's a somewhat sharpened pencil," as opposed to saying "Here's a shotgun!" So I will have to wait for the PC release. XD The ArenaNet party that we do at GameWorks afterward went well. I might have overdid it on DDR, but I was proud of myself for clearing a bunch of songs on difficult (I'm not used to playing in the arcades, so having shoes and the arrows being wider apart throws me.) I also got to "own some face" (as Nick would say) at Samurai Shodown V. Nakoruru ftw. Arigatou, Mamehaha! We also had a "Developer Scavenger Hunt" going on - fans that were invited to the party had a list of devs that they needed to find and get signatures from. I ended up signing quite a bit, and that's a really weird experience for me. I can't fathom that anyone would ever be excited to meet me, and honestly I hope I never do. I'm too low-key for a rock star persona. When I sign things, I sort of feel bad - like I'm devaluing them somehow. Especially when I work with so many people who are so incredibly talented and have done so much. I just have to remind myself that the people receiving signatures don't feel any of that internal strife, they just love the game and are happy to meet people that made it. And on the bright side, I did get to have some very enjoyable conversations about the Gwen mission. A nice young lady even mentioned it was her favorite of the BMP - it's a good thing I was standing under a red light, otherwise I might have looked embarrassed. ^^;
