Arisia recap

Well, I returned home last night at 7:30pm, but rather than do anything important (unpack, clean room, catch up on LJ, etc) I sat around and listened to music and chatted for a few hours until I crashed into bed much too late. I'm gonna have a busy sleepy day, doh. And I'll be falling asleep EARLY tonight. :P

Wow. That's pretty long.

*pant* Ok, done. Heh.

Fen at Cons = Pointless Yet Poignant Crises of Co-Eds

This is not my analogy, but I'm the one who's going to post it.

There's this song by Dar Williams called The Pointless, Yet Poignant, Crisis of a Co-ed. It tells a cute little story and is fun to listen to, but besides that, the story makes a point. I'll shove the lyrics at you, with important bits bolded.

( Lyrics! )

So yeah. Just like in the song, at cons we of the "higher minds" get together with the intent of changing the world, exchanging information, and generally being awesome... but instead we just get high, and by get high, I mean have lots of random kinky sex. At least from what I saw. The higher functions of the con were overshadowed by the meat-marketness of it all. I admit that I fall for this too; wishing I had flashier/sexier clothing, buying the relationship status button...

Perhaps this makes for a good forum topic?
