CHRIS I SEE YOU ON

[Chocofreak13]

RED COME BACK
COME ON MAN

@bells: that's.....disturbing. that you're having extreme trouble getting in touch with your dad and he's potentially (5%?) dead. also, i agree that if possible, you should call your grandparents back and see what all the fuss is about before calling the festival office. don't drag your feet, though.

@simon: best of luck, man. glad that you at least have a person or two you can fall back on for the next week or two. :[

@cockle: my advice is to get the fuck out of there as soon as possible. if the guy has known her that long, then he should know better than to believe her mother's ramblings. as for the money, give her nothing and take all you can. not like she's gonna see the rancid bitch again anyway.

decided to play bully last night, was quite a joy (played till 2 am without even realizing it, it was so fun). feels good to have something to help me escape a bit. on the upside, i think i'm getting a little bit to a better place, so maybe i can start trying to apply for jobs again. also going to buy a wig, i'm finally going to fucking do it.

also, OSC, i want a little advice. i've been asked by several people if i'm going to AAC (Another Anime Convention) in october, and i'm still toying with the idea.....the major factors here are money (it's $50 for all three days, they don't play around with it anymore) and finding a place to park. if it's close enough to pearl street, i might be able to park at my friend's house, but besides that, i'm also worried about the flak i'll get from family about having fun when i'm "supposed to be looking for work/getting into school/getting serious" or some shit like that. i'm also a tad nervous about talking with my mum about it, since it could go either way (either she'll support and encourage my desire to go to a newish con and enjoy myself, or she'll chastise me about not being "more responsible" with my cash or some crap like that). not helping matters is that my summer job ends this week, so i'll be back down to an income of $40/wk. :[

I know the feeling. Best thing is to weigh the pros and cons of going, and decide if it's worth it; if I was in your situation, I'd probably skip out if I felt it was going to get too expensive to pull off :[

[Chocofreak13]

that's just it, i could likely afford to, but it's hard to tell that far out (which is the problem). there's always unforeseen expenses in my life, so while i'm itching to go (cause come on, it's another con! more stuff to be had, man!! swap meeeet!!), i just don't want to be stuck without food for 2 weeks because i decided that collectibles were more important (which they are, THEY REALLY ARE).

[Nichi]

Indeed. I'm pretty sure I can afford my trip up north, but first and foremost I want to focus on getting a car, and then getting the fuck out of Walmart :\

[Chocofreak13]

in this case, it's not a major event (moving, buying a vehicle/building, adopting something alive bigger than a goldfish), so i think if i can get some parking planned, maybe i will go. :0

[Nichi]

Mmm :3

So, was supposed to go get ice cream with my sister, but the plans have been delayed to an unspecified time...on the night I planned to make meatloaf, so I'm left trying to decide if I should delay for tomorrow for the meatloaf or skip out on ice cream ;_;

[Chocofreak13]

i hate it when people do that. hope it worked out okay. :\

[Nichi]

Turns out, when the power flickered here, her power went out entirely, and when it came back up, her internet was down -w-;

Finally got my ice cream, or rather, frozen yogurt >w<

@Kari: I've been thinking about going to AAC if I can get a hold of the car that weekend. Couldn't do the three day pass since I've class on Friday, but Saturday /might/ be doable.

Also, I finally got in contact with my dad last night, turns out my grandparents did also. I guess his phone ended up on silent mode and he just never heard our calls. :s

[Chocofreak13]

you can do a 2-day pass for cheaper, just saturday and sunday. not gonna lie, you going is more of an incentive for me to go, lol. xD

[Bella]

Same here Kari, same here. Like you I have to wait awhile longer and see if I'll have the funds (and transport) to.

I've thought about going for a couple years now, though, and I probably have decent enough city-driving skills to get there without dying. Maybe I should finally give it a shot. ^^;

[Nichi]

I'd love to go to a con...but it's simply impractical at this stage; any con I'd want to go to is as far out of the way as possible and requires a lot of money just to make it happen ;_;
(I mean, I couldn't even make it to the con Linkara went to in Louisville earlier this year, and that's far closer than going to AB or AAC)

[Simonorged]

What do you do when faced with the confusing aspect of an unclosed door lined with silence and neglect?
