Weird Yarny Dreams, Conventions and SITE
Mmkay, we'll start with the weird dreams, because everyone seems to get a helluva kick out of them.
So went to bed last night thinking please, no more weird dreams, haven't gotten much real sleep recently because of them. And I think as the edges of those pleas made it to the glitchy little synapsis of my brain, all it caught was please... weird dreams... because this one was bizarre.
Honestly, the weirdest part -as relates to MY life- was at the beginning. The whole world was caught up in this crazy soccer game (no thats not the weird bit) the weird bit is that I decided I wanted to go with a group of my friends. And while I will happily attend the games my brother plays, they are tiny. Mob mentality doesn't kick in (any large group freaks me out of my happy little mind), and honestly, the only reason I'm there is because it is my brother, I have absolutely no desire to go see a bunch of people I don't know playing any sort of sport. * Ehm, anyhow. So the whole world is in various stadiums watching crazy sporty people. And so was I...
And on come the mind controlled zombie people. Apparently it started with the guards outside, don't know how it got to them but suddenly everyone is freaking out and panicking (insert mobs, and my brain screaming at me that this is NOT where I want to be and this is WHY I avoid sporting events). Somehow myself and a friend, who at this point is starting to look rather like the Chaos Thoery guy from Jurassic Park (I suck at actors), scale the back wall of the stadium, sneak out through a car show filled with sweet futuristic concept cars and suddenly I realize it was all my fault.
And my dream threw me into a flashback, where instead of mild mannered artist type the government had recruited me to work on this odd piece of technology, and they needed me because everyone knows my mind doesn't work the way anyone elses does (true story, ask any of my friends, or hell just read this dream sequence) and logic wasn't solving this particular problem so they needed me to fix it. And I did. I had no idea what it was for, it all seemed very abstract, and somehow tried to meld the concepts of slaves, zombies, and yarn, so I figured they were metaphors for something else.
and the flashback ended and I was swimming in very chlorine scented sewers to try and escape the mind controlled zombie people who were working for the government and realized they were about to hit the second phase. Slowly yarn was knitting (well, crocheting - I know how to crochet and clearly my mind didn't want to try and make up how knitting would work) it's way around the pursuing swimmers. Until the second phase had finished and we were being pursued by gangly soaking crocheted zombie cats. Who were really bizarrely creepy. I had just come to the conclusion that oh crap, there are five more stages of horrors to come, when I woke up.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee
AND ONWARD TO NON-CRACKED OUT STUFF - i.e. Cons, and my site....
Ehm... so as for Cons.
I leave in approximately 24 hours to go to Oklacon.
I AM NOT READY
I still need to find a 3" binder, as we have to set up and take down every day, and my print setup won't work for that, and 2" is NOT ENOUGH (that's what she said... sorry, had to)
I need to go buy food, since it is an outdoor con and I am lazy and don't drive places for food
I need to pack
I need to matt (mat? I never know how to spell that) a few pieces
I am vaguely sad, because I just got this STUNNING leather mask ( http://lauragarabedian.deviantart.com/favourites/#/d2zddar ) and want to wear it but am afraid to take it to an outdoor con - errrrr..... so it is staying home and it is going to be a Halloween without dressing up for Laura :(
I need my brain to explode - oh wait that's already happened
I will survive!!! Erm, yeah.
Meanwhile, my sites galleries are down, for no apparent reason, so boo. Especially as I just gave out a ton of business cards to random professionals this weekend. Crapmonkies strike again.
Erm, yeah, so. Gone tomorrow, back Monday at some point. Probably no internets in the middle. And Wish me lots of luck and sales, 'cause I sure could use it!
Thanks guys!!! Hope you all have a happy Halloween!
*I will happily watch people riding horses that I don't know. But honestly, a) I amnot watching the people 90% of the time, I am watching horses b) most horsey events aren't that crowded c) even the ones that are, are very rarely mobbish, there is not one side against the other crap going on....
