pennsic!
We're back! It was fabulous. Yes, including the camping experience and definitely including my awesome peeps.
- The amazing smell of the whole place (er, except for the under-tent rot thing). It was a whole different sensory experience overall, and very sensous.
- An odd contrast between the idea of bellydancers at most parties as essentially more period strippers and the general age-shape-etc. positivity of the place. Or the contrast between generally egalitarian views and the chivalric posturing that some of the guys do. Also, boys night out. [Eh, you can't expect my political mind to shut entirely up for the week, can you?]
- How quickly the body adapts to different routines - mine really felt like it found yet another perfectly natural pattern with the walking and lounging (our camp = very big with the lounging). The whole place felt like a giant playground.
- The process of learning even a tiny bit of sign language & how it starts to impact the way you communicate with hearing folk - also, I keep coming in contact with Deaf culture this year in ways that should've pushed me to learn ASL by now, so hey! new project! But aside from that, I found myself thinking a lot about how daily physical experiences change our brains and stuff.
- The applicability of theatre training to life in the form of duct tape and abstract drafting.
- Boys, girls, flirting and *gasp* rejection (sorry, only squee-filter peeps get that particular story, for those who aren't already tired of it).
Next, I start moving!
