Dear people I'm going to ComiCon with...

ComiCon People,

I have run into a slight wall:

My mom is the biggest worrier on the face of the planet.

Seriously. I know, she's a mom and that's her job, but she's a little naivé on this whole internet thing. She personally thinks you are all ax murders/rapists/kidnappers/drug addicts/drunks. We were talking about the trip today and she, swear to god, asked me this question:

"Well, let's say you're down there and someone you are with starts doing lines of cocaine. What are you going to do?"

And she said that without joking.

W..T..F..

Of course, I laughed loudly in her face for a good minute or two. Why she would even ask this, I have no idea. I'm the girl who has not even tried a cigarette, much less cocaine. Hell, I have trouble taking a Advil when I have a headache. And all my friends, past and present, are a bunch of anti-drug straight edges.

She also asked:

"Well, what if one of them tries to get you to drink? Huh?"

This is even funnier for one simple reason... When my sister was 18, she took a trip to Germany with her exchange student boyfriend over the summer and stayed with his parents there. While there, she proceeded to get piss-drunk no less than seven times. We have some great pictures of her about to puke her guts up.

Oh, I also don't drink. Beer tastes like piss and other alcohol stuff just, generally, tastes nasty to me.

Anyway, she's basically worrying that you people aren't who you say you are. So, let's prove her wrong, alrighty?

Could you people please do something liiiiiike:

*Write a note to my mommy via email (AzuriaZyfire@gmail.com , I'll send it to her explaining who the hell you are and how you won't harm her precious daughter
*Take a picture of yourself with some sort of identification that it's you? (like a sign saying 'Hi Aza's mom!'? Basically, my mom thinks that pictures people post of themselves online are actually pictures they stole of normal people.. I'm, once again, not kidding...)
*Something else? If you want to write an actual snail-mail letter, I'll give you my address via email

Please, PLEASE pass this around to all who are going, since most of them are not on my friends list. Just take a moment to do that and I'll forever be in your debt.

Thanks!
