Where's the "bouncing off the walls hyper" icon? 
I'm just so hyper tonight it's unreal, considering how tired I've been lately. And I'm not sure which it is.
One possibility is a new drink I discovered. Apparently it's been around for a while, but I'd never seen it before. It's by the Dr Pepper company and is called a Cactus Cooler -- it's an "orange pineapple" drink (that apparently has absolutely no orange *or* pineapple in it, naturally. LOL!) that I really like.
Doesn't list caffeine as an ingredient. But it doesn't say caffeine free, either. And it tastes a lot like Surge, which is my favorite ultra-caffinated beverage but I can't drink Surge that often.
So... since it doesn't list caffeine as an ingredient, is it decaff? Or since it doesn't say caffeine free, should I assume caffinated?
But if it's not the drink, then it's the guild meeting. That was by far the most *fun* guild/club/etc meeting I've ever been to for a first meeting (and more fun in general than most I've attended). I've never felt so welcome to a first-time meeting. There wasn't a cold person in the bunch, or if there was, the warm ones outshined the cold. So it was very much worth going to, even if my friend wasn't able to come. First meeting and already I've been asked to teach a mini-program on a design I threw together to test some colors with for another pattern I've designed and am working on. First time I've met most of these people (I met 2 of them last week and one of those 2 was there and hyper-friendly again tonight -- the other of the 2 came by to say hi at the end) and already they're asking me to come teach! And I had a lot of questions on the different things people were doing, every one of them was super-friendly about showing me what they were doing and stuff. *Great* meeting, I wish they met weekly. I can't wait until the informal stitch-in next week, let alone the next guild meeting next month.
Whatever the case, I'm *hyper* now and in a fantastic mood.
