I&#8217;ve said the word &#8220;zombie&#8221; so many times this week that I&#8217;m kind of tired of it and would like to not say it again for a few months. So it goes. Every year. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m paranoid about turnout, of course. I always imagine that it will be, like, thirty people, all of whom will be immensely bored. It&#8217;ll be good. I know it will. It&#8217;s just that, every year, so many people around me who are so seemingly gung-ho about it drop out at the last minute. Shit happens, this I know. But that kind of thing skews my perception of the whole and I assume that <i>everyone<\/i> is going to spontaneously decide not to show up. And that&#8217;s when I get to start kicking myself for not doing a better job of getting the word out. Even though, damn, we got on Fox 13 news last week (even though they did tell everyone the wrong date) and we&#8217;re in Friday&#8217;s paper and I&#8217;ve seen a fair amount of web buzz about it. And I&#8217;ve been slogging through the nightmare that is MySpace for months and months, making sure the kids know all the details. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;ll be fine. <\/p>\n<p>Breathe breathe breathe. <\/p>\n<p>The only thing that&#8217;s going to suck about it is running around, trying to make sure people take the correct turns, and trying to take pictures that don&#8217;t suck. All while being completely out of shape. <i>That<\/i> I don&#8217;t look forward to. So if you see me running around and I&#8217;m not, shall we say, verbose, it&#8217;s probably because I&#8217;m out of damn breath and don&#8217;t want you to see me pant. And sweat. Which I will also be doing because it is going to be very warm. <\/p>\n<p>Can you tell I&#8217;m nervous? I haven&#8217;t even had anything to drink to fuel this bloggeherrea. I&#8217;m just straight-up anxious. <\/p>\n<p>Okay. I&#8217;ve got to clean up a bit since I&#8217;ll have a houseguest. And I should probably go to sleep at some point and hope this hurty throat I&#8217;ve got going will disappear overnight. The hurtiness, that is. I&#8217;d like to keep the throat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welp, in mere hours, it&#8217;ll be time once again for the you-know-what.
