unij: YOU BET KID (Bink's Sake)
You know what sucks? Not knowing the bus routes very well, and also not having enough small bills for fare.

You know what's awesome? Strangers who are totally willing to help pay for fare. I LOVE YOU NICE STRANGERS <3

I spent pretty much the whole time in the exhibition hall, which is normal for me and conventions. I didn't get all the swag I wanted--lines for some of the more popular booths were incredibly slow, man--but I am pleased with the results. Kate Beaton is a very cute, sweet-seeming young woman, and Hussie was decidedly much more gangly and awkward than I expected, but very cool.

woooo tired.

Good news/Bad news time!

Good news: Totally going to Emerald City Comic Con tomorrow.

Bad news: The girl who said she'd both drive with me down and spend time with me there has not contacted me since we last spoke four days ago, not responding at either of the telephone numbers I have nor responding to a facebook message (despite the fact that she's apparently been on facebook today), leaving me to assume something fell through. (EDIT: she messaged me to say that she can't go, she's too busy. Well, at least letting me know 10:45 the night before is better than nothing at all)

Good news: Just so happened I ran into my neighbor today, who is a cool dude and also going, so we can at least take the bus together.

Bad news: He's going to be hanging out with his sister and staying the night once we get there, so I may be on my own for a chunk of it, namely the bus ride back.

Good news: I'm going to a comic convention with Andrew Hussie, Kate Beaton, Christ Hastings and KC Green, to say nothing of the more famous individuals attending.

Ugh I am so freaking tired.

All right, here's the low down on this weekend:
~Got an hour and a half of sleep the night before going off to ComicCon. Argh.
~Survived regardless. It was super awesome.
~[livejournal.com profile] yamikonumber7  is so awesome and I approve of the things she does because she is cool.
~Death is not an emotion, apparently, but rather a shorter way of saying "the void of emotion."
~I bought sixty-one dollars worth of One Piece swag. Thanks [personal profile] edward_hyde .
~I forgot my camera on the second day, thereby depriving me of pictures of me and Kia being totally awesome and stupid together D=
~Gleeeeeeeeeeeeeee
~Only one dude recognized my costume D=
~However the costume was still badass, and somehow I managed not to overheat! [livejournal.com profile] starherd  is still amazing~
~Man I don't remember what else I'm too tired I'll put more up later
~Why the hell did I only get evening shifts this week do not want

Also because I'm a whore:

Oh god guys that was a close one

The internet broke, which is usually no big deal, but for some reason this time it needed the WEP key to reconnect and like no one remembered what it was 8D;; At first I was like "whatev" but then I was like "OH CRAP I NEED TO PRINT MY BOARDING PASS TOMORROW"

But then my mom found it and everything was happier.

I was lucky I had the magical [livejournal.com profile] yamikonumber7 's cell number, her texting helped me through that frightening and merciless time.

...Fuck I'm leaving for ComicCon in like thirty hours

unij: YOU BET KID (Who ya gonna call?)

ComicCon is getting readily closer, and its proximity is proportionate to both my excitement and my nerves. I decided to try and embroider the emblem on the armband for the costume, just for that extra something. It's far from professional-looking, but it's coming out well. I also wanted to do it for the larger one on the jacket, but quickly came to realize that there was no way I could get it done with the thicker fabric. Ah well!

Also, I did order a wig online, but of course it hasn't come yet. Things have kept me from checking out the local wigstores, such as lack of car access or bad timing with shifts... I feel like I should be more worried than I am about that, but I keep thinking it's nothing to worry about. I hope I'm right.

The main source of my nerves is the part where my friends and I still don't have a solid plan for what we're doing, as far as organizing what we need to get and bring, the best way to get around, or which things we want to go to. I wouldn't be so worried about the last bit, but I know that Bailey and Lauren are way more into DC comics and the like than I, and while I've survived just sorta smiling and nodding when they go on about it, I'm nervous it'll throw me off if it's all they're focusing on at the con. And I sure don't want to risk getting lost doing things on my own D=

Meantime, I'm trying to get my RP drive back. Spin's been completely dead since his breakdown, and more and more I'm getting frustrated with Tanaka's lack of CR. I keep asking if people want to thread with the cheerleader, but... nngh. Oddly enough, Madotsuki and Fawful are doing fine with their own things. I'm having a lot of fun with their stuff, but it's not the same as runnin' around being Elite or manly. At this point I'm just really hoping Kia and I can find a good place to settle down afterwards.

Hey guess what came in the mail today guys

My Asahi uniform which is super awesome and lovely thanks to [livejournal.com profile] starherd  who is amazing, and also gloves. Yeah that's right, all I need is my wig and we are ready for some osu action. I ordered a wig online yesterday, but I'm a bit antsy about if it'll get here in time. I plan on checking for wig stores in the area just in case.

You know what else came in the mail? Entertainment Weekly, which was full of tidbits about what's gonna be at Comic Con, including Iron Man 2.

My god you guys today is just like "SARAH COMIC CON IS COMING AREN'T YOU PUMPED"

And I replied "YES I AM , TODAY, THANK YOU FOR ASKING"

eeeeeee

And also HAPPY BIRTHDAY [personal profile] lynxgriffin
