......guys, i just got some terrible news....i can't go to con this year. ;^;
i don't know why, they just emailed me and said i was 'ejected from the convention on suspicion of rule-breaking activities'.

i can't stop crying about it. they said they'd refund my money, but it doesn't help things. i want to toss my cosplay out the window and light it on fire, cause what's the point anymore?

Wait...... huh....... what? What the fuck does "suspicion of rule-breaking behavior" even mean?! You can't just buy tickets for the con without pre-registration or whatever....?

Addendum: What the actual fuck is wrong with people?

So, last night was annoying >_<;;

First off, I was sleeping fairly well...and then my cell phone went off at midnight; a local number I did not recognize calling me, not leaving a message. Also, heartburn; so getting back to sleep was an impossible task, so I took some meds for that and stayed up talking to Kari for a while. Just as I was ready to go back to bed, finally relaxed enough to try again, here comes mom to screw that up by rudely telling me to go to bed right now, which pissed me off >_<;;

I did go to bed shortly after, it taking longer for me to get to sleep to try and relax myself again, and even then, I still didn't get as much sleep as I would have liked (As lately I've woken up at around 7:30AM like clockwork).

EDIT: But, this morning's trip to the store made up for it. To summarize:

*driving to store; partially cloudy*
*sunglasses equipped, making it appear more forbidding, while I listen to my iPod*
*suddenly, wild Persona 3 soundtrack appears; supplying fitting music*
*feels badass *

@pent: nice. -w-
@bella, nej: it's okay....my friend said she'd keep an eye out for something interesting for me at the con, and there's still AAC later this year.....
besides, i can smile knowing you fell for my april fool's joke. :3

EDIT: in less funny news, pretty sure my aunt goes into surgery today. dunno if i mentioned it last week, but my aunt was cleaning her house when she started having mysterious chest pains. she goes into he hospital and discovers that she needs open hear surgery this week to put a pair of stints in. no history of heart disease or problems, this just came out of left field. when it rains it pours, right? ><;; they say things come in threes, and with my grandma earlier and my aunt after that, i'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. i'm expecting to get mugged at the con or something. >>;;

needless to say there won't be an easter brunch at my aunt's this year. :\

I hope your aunt makes it out fine ;_;
My aunt is actually going through the same exact thing, although she's doing fine last I heard

Also, I'd try not to think too much about what might happen; just focus on enjoying your weekend at the con :3
Remember: It doesn't always come in threes

[Bella]

@Kari: Lol, I didn't even think about that being a prank. You really got me. >.<;

Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about the troubles your aunt is facing and wish her a safe surgery and speedy recovery. :[

@Genpop: This is entirely random, but: Is it considered a kind of synesthesia if you see a person's handwriting and are able to "picture"/"hear" their voice in your head as you read it? It's kind of hard to explain, but I recently realized that certain peoples' handwriting styles look like their voices to me ...

[Nichi]

It's not too unusual, I'd think; just a part of your memories :3

Although, I do sometimes try to picture the voice of someone before I actually hear it

[Chocofreak13]

if you literally hear their voice when you see the writing, then yes, it's synesthesia. if you can hear it in your mind, then no, i'd just attribute that to something like sense memory.
that said, i can someties do the same thing, but more along the lines of if i know their voice enough, then i can "hear" them saying things if i think about it.

also, my aunt went into surgery yesterday, and they discovered her chest pains were caused by a stress-related condition closing up her arteries. while this sounds terrible, it means that she didn't need the surgery after all, meaning she's going to be just fine. ^^ (though this should be a lesson to her to pace herself more. :\

[Nichi]

Sounds like what happened to my mom last year. Your aunt should be fine if she just gets some rest :3

It's really hard to explain, it doesn't have to do with remembering their voice when I read their writing but rather strongly associating their hand-writing with the sound of their voice... so far it's only happened with a couple peoples' writing styles, and they aren't even people I talk to that frequently.

That's crazy ... I hope they didn't get too far into the surgery. o_o;

Easter holidays!!! :3

@Kari: It's great that your aunt didn't need the surgery... but couldn't the doctors have found out about the condition beforehand?

[Chocofreak13]

i believe they were about to stick a catheter into her vein when they figured it out. considering how quickly it came on, i think they assumed it was either a clot or a more permanent condition, one requiring the surgery. thankfully it's only stress related, but she must be under a hell of a lot of stress to have something like this happen, so she's not out of the woods yet. stress brings with it a whole host of problems, this just being one. >>;;;

i took the day off today to do some homework. i felt kinda bad about it, but one of the things that comes with being mature and all that is having conviction in your decisions. i made my choice, i stand by it, and i sure as hell can't take it back now. :\
besides, i finished part of a project that i'd been meaning to deal with for weeks. :\
