The phone rang.  LMR's voice urged me to get my arse outta bed.  I had
called him earlier and requested that he give me this wake-up call, as i
had only left Cheetah's five hours earlier for the morning shift, and was
expected to make an appearance in the evneing for ASS-Con LV2.  I mumbled
thanks and hung up the phone.  The alarm went off...boy this was going to
be a long night.  How the hell was i going to pull it off? With visions of
the cash that CES would bring and the familiar faces of ASS-Cer's i had
met previously, i walked into the bathroom and turned the hot water on. 
My whole body felt like a lead weight.  My head pounded with every move,
my muscles throbbed.  I raided the medicine cabinet for painkillers and
took a dose of each brand i found--likewise for vitamins and vivarin.
After standing under the warm stream of water for twenty minutes, i felt a
little more human.  I got dressed and left the apartment.

On the way to Cheetah's, I stpped at the drug store: hair gel, PowerAde,
newspaper, two kinds of chinese herbal energy pills and a packet of super
pep changed hands. Oh, and a pack of marlboro light one-hundreds, please. 
My ID? Hold on while i get it out of the car.

Made it to cheetah's by 8:45 and snuck by the ASS-C tables without being
spotted.  I staked out my area in the dressing room and pounded the pep
remedies.  A fewe minutes later i was shaking like a morphine addict.  Oh
well...at least i'm moving.

Mark came back to the dressing room to make sure i was here.  Just a few
more minutes. Done.  I sauntered over to the ASS-C reserved tables and
said hi to Trig before collapsing in LMR's lap.  He introduced me to some
of the SF crew: JP, Vic?  No way! Hey, Z--long time no see. Where ya been?
Dodger! How come you never come to see me no more? I see Matrix has flaked
as per usual.  Laar--it's about time! Wow, Molli's just as cute in person
as her picture.  Mark182 and....Teena....mmmm....

I think i missed most of the action and pranks of the night. After awhile
i was in the happy abyss of sleep deprivation.  Warm and fuzzy.  I gave up
on working.  Did a lap here and there for the ASS-Cers who requested. 
Tried to be LYDIA...did i fail miserably? probably...i don't know.

Sick showed later in the evening.  Hmmm...looks just like the only
customer I ever went home with, except this one's more my style.  Better
stay away from this one.

Did some laps for Dodger, Marc182, Teena, JustPhil, a few others.  Got
licked by the Pope.  Ohhhh....don't get me in trouble baby.  Lapped Sick
into a good slave.  Napped in various laps.  Bitched a lot.  Got
propositioed by a Hussey.  

The place was so crowded...I hate working when it's so mobbed.  I had a
blast meeting everyone.  Went to do two dances for an outside interest and
came back to find most of the SF crowd had snuck out without saying
goodbye. Hung out for awhile until the end of the night when i recieved a
deliciously frustratind dance from JasmineT.  Too bad she lives long
distance--hmph.

Went to breakfast with Mark182, Teena, Dodger, Sick, LMR...did i miss
anyone?
Shocked the hell outta my deprived stomach.

ASS-Con LV2 was a lot of fun, but really made life depressing afterward. 
Maybe it's just my hormones talking, but i was really lonely when everyone
left. Still am.  Everyone was here just long enough to make me feel like i
was part of something.  A whole group of people with such a diverse array
of personalities.  And then they were gone and my curiosity was never
satisfied.  I hope i get another chance to know some of you guys better
soon.
