This is my first con without Alexander. I didn't realize this until now.
I'm kinda sad. Alexander was the one who introduced me to cons to begin with. I've known him since 4th grade, but due to financial and educational issues, he won't be able to make it this year.
For a long time he was one of the few friends I had in person. I loved to hang out with him and talk to him about anime, DDR, or whatever. We could really talk about a lot of things for hours on end.
I miss hanging out with him. I hope I can hang out with him this summer.
I also miss Patrick. I recently realized, looking back, that I've known him for at least 7 years, since 1999. We've really come a long way since then. I can only remember arguing once or twice in the 7 years I've known him. He's one of the best friends I've ever had. Thanks for being there, Patrick.
ACen will be interesting, I'm sure. Going with a lot of people, but there's also the chance for a lot of drama. The drama wouldn't bother me at all if Patrick were there. I don't know why, but Patrick's support empowers me, and makes me not give a shit what anyone thinks. But that can't be helped. It's not your fault Patrick so don't feel bad.
So we'll see what happens.
