Jungle fever
Wednesday, 15 April 2009
I took on a bit of a purple leopard skin theme at the psychotherapy conference Bobo and I were at this weekend. And now I have spotted a leopard skin for my laptop.
We attended mind bending workshops, had deep and meaningful chats, danced our socks off, ate loads, slept far too little and indulged in a little too much red wine. And, as we were staying on a university campus, it was just like being a student again.
Now, we just need to recover.

That all sounds good! Hope you recover soon. Enjoy your spiced up laptop. :)

I don't know, these therapists. They make out they're spending the weekend honing their finely-tuned professional skills and really it's just another excuse for a piss-up. Typical.

Oooh, that sounds a fab weekend! When can I enroll to become a therapist?!
(can you really get leopard print for your laptop?!)

Leopard skin theme?
I'm imagining that you went to the psychotherapy equivalent of Hogwarts, for a weekend of advanced transmogrification.

I was going to say, Don't let Suburbia see that, but I see I'm too late!
Sounds like a groovy time. Well, the dancing and eating bits sound good.

I would say that it sounds just like my student days too except laptops weren't invented when I was a student. Sniff.

Suburbia, you can enroll today ... just remember to drill a large whole in the bottom of your wallet and see the pounds float away (but in a totally worth it way - who can put a price on meeting Hulla?). Your kids will be fine on bread and water for a few years.

Angie: Still recovering, and it's nearly a week now!
Nick: Yeah, we are almost as bad as those boozy journalist type people ;)).
Suburbia: I highly recommend it, Suburbia. Conferences are just extended therapeutic psychological orgies. They do mess with your head, though.
Yes, you can leopard print your laptop. I am guessing you want one?
GVH:I don't know about transmogrification, but certainly by Sunday the revolving toaster in the dinner hall was going way too fast for me. Disorientation?
Liz: Well you would love it Liz, I can assure you. All those lovely people in one room at the same time. It's networking heaven.
Loth: I don't think I would have got through uni, had laptops been around. How do they resist Facebook and blogging?
WWW: What did I learn? Well, I learnt loads of stuff and that, most of which seemed really significant at the time.
The red menace is a real scourge, next time I will take queen vixen's advice and avoid the cheapy conference stuff.
Bobo: Yes it's a drain on finances, but what a party!
