Cleaning House Update
1. I went to Otakon in July, met up with/finally met xenafox, got to guard the door, found out my long-lost highschool friend was a Mustang running around with the best Hughes I've ever seen, complete with a wallet of photos. I got to do makeup, wake up hung over in the sweltering Baltimore humidity, fix the kimono of a snow demoness, and watch as they evacuated the convention center, when someone pulled the fire alarm, supposedly. Wicked. awesome. A Shuichi accidentally bit me, and I bought my lady a flag.
2. The Utema people decided, "Hey, our show is awesome; we should have our own convention!" and I endorse this, so I went to New Orleans two weeks later, as close to France as I'm going to get for now, and it is wonderful how that city parties every night, then hoses down like nothing has happened. Props to everyone who tried to pronounce my user name and people who recognized me as one of the fist hundred or so members from when the forum started, before I started lurking and all that. I truly enjoyed riding with the "Ends of the Forum" in her Akio car and wearing roses around the city with the fellow duelists.
3. Everyone I know has been depressed, many people for very good reason. I've been so, too, desperately so, really, and it's been mounting, but I've been managing/storing away, and it's not going to explode, so to speak. I'm not sure what I can do to rectify this, but I've shorted a few lists, and I can't believe how good it felt. There are just some things I don't need to see any longer, (things that hurt, damn it,) and I'm sure a few other people may feel the same way 'bout me, which is great. ♥ Though Kelda/sporkpope passed away without warnings a few months ago, I really can't bear to delete her from my LJ friendslist for some reason. And thinking about it now makes me want to cry, and though we weren't the best of friends, I'd had her for so long that it hurts to think of, so I'm going to leave it alone, for now.
4. I have hair down my back, and I only did it because a) a lot of women I know complain about not being able to grow long hair; b) a boy I liked used to love it; c) I don't have the energy to grow it out again. But what I'd really love is a pixie cut or a boy-cut. Gimme some more time to build up self-confidence, and I'll do that.
