I know I said I would try to update every week at least but I've been insanely stressed lately, and since I feel so comfortable here I'll go ahead and blame it on depression as well. Sometimes I have a hard time blaming things on that, but I have to remember that it is something that I and millions of others suffer from, and the only way to release the stigma attached to the word is to talk about it. Although I'm not going to go into detail about my own personal struggles, just know that I don't want to stay away, it just seems impossible to do anything even as little as a blog update. But I owe so much to this site for the friendships I've created and the least I can do is make an effort to stay active.
SO! I think I left off just before Hell City Phoenix. Man, what a blast that was. If there was anything to pull me out of my depressive funk if even for a short 72 hours, it was this. First and foremost, I was reunited with so many girls I met this year and have grown to adore. I roomed with @delaney and @tobzilla_ and soon met up with @thestral_ and @dk all of whom I had the pleasure of forming life long bonds with back in June at the Minneapolis shootfest. A major major bonus of the hotel we were staying at- @ravana_ @sirius_ and @vayda were staying there too! I've been swooning over these three for quite some time and was more than ecstatic to be able to spend all the time with them that I did.
I met so many ladies I have looked up to, fawned over, and have been obsessed with since starting my journey. Since I'm a tad late on this post and many other girls have posted pictures and I'm sure you all know who was there and at the booth. I'll spare you some time and reading and talk about my favorite moments meeting ladies. One was definitely @rocket shes been an sg forever and although she only has one set I've always thought she was just the cutest and it was soooo great getting to know her and spend time with her!
Another lady I was kind of geeking out over meeting was @marceline because I had been following her journey since she was a hopeful....she was just as funny, kind, sweet, beautiful, and goofy as I had hoped. She even let me take an instax with her and she put her glorious face on my boobs. Winning.
Just before HC I was lucky enough to win a print contest from @kush whom I've loved forever and I didn't even know she was going to be there until the friday I arrived. Imagine my surprise and excitement! I was also able to spend good times with her smoking and talking about things, she is a wonderful soul.
Althought I didnt get any work done at the convention, I was graced with the opportunity to stand up on stage with all the other lovely hopefuls and SG's and present awards on Saturday night, as well as watch the Blackheart Burlesque show which was fucking epic. Those girls seriously kill it and make me so envious of the way they move those beautiful works of art they call bodies.
The weekend was uneventful in the best way, I was able to relax and smoke and party with so many babes and it was the most wonderful time. Going back to reality is painful and sucky. Makes the battle with depression that much harder. Thats the wonderful yet awful thing about SG, we make these connections with souls we feel we were separated at birth from and just as soon as you meet your soul sisters, they are ripped from you, returning to their end of the country, or in some cases, world. Its something that I wouldn't trade for anything in the universe, these connections I've made, and the beautiful life long friendships to be had. So many beautiful women, inside and out.
So thanks SG, for giving me these opportunities I wouldn't have normally had, for putting these amazing people in my life, and for making it just a little easier to deal with the craziness in my head. Oh yeah, and Happy Birthday SG, 13 already! Another 13+ strong, yeah?
Until next time, everyone.
