~And watch as they all fly away~
Dear coworker,
I will finish Deathly Hallows whenever the hell I get around to it. Threatening to spoil certain parts of the book will not make me read it any faster. Nor will you poking at me to finish it and read faster. I'm headachy enough as it is, and I'd rather not get worse, thanks. Trying to get me to finish it "OMG NOW!" will just lead to me putting it off longer, and spoiling all your fun. And if you do spoil things for me before I get there, I will be quite miffed. After all, just knowing that someone dies is a lot different than knowing all of the specifics.
No love,
Me
So yeah... I promised a full con update. But I really don't feel like doing one.
Suffice to say, I had a lot of fun at Otakon, was the best Godot at the con, spent way more money than I should have at the Japanese booksellers (and got laughed at by the owner for asking about a super-rare Amano artbook in the process), and actually didn't commission too much porn artwork this year. The hotel situation actually wasn't too bad, though I somehow managed to end up more sleep deprived than normal. Damon Gant went around molesting everyone, which was more than a little frightening. And I actually saw the AMVs this year, even though I missed Justin's sermon for the third year running. ;.; That was sad.
Besides, there would be a more detailed report if I had pictures, and most of my pictures ended up spread across other people's cameras because I utterly hate the one my mother loaned me. Seriously, cameras should not be so complicated to work.
In other news... I did get an interesting call while I was at Otakon. (And my cell battery was nearly dead and I was in the middle of negotiating a commission, which I ultimately decided not to get.) Catholic Charities called. They said that my birth mother had picked up the letter that I wrote for her, and the picture I'm assuming. They said that she was working on a letter for me, and to expect it in 7-10 days. I wasn't quite sure if they were going to mail it to me, or whether or not I have to go pick it up or what. That was... Saturday, I think. It could have been Friday. It was one of the two. Anyways, whichever, if the letter really does get done in that 7-10 day timeframe, then I should be getting it any day now. I'm kind of nervous. I have no clue what it's going to say, or how I want to proceed. They told me to think about it, about where I wanted to go from here. I kind of want to see what the letter says before I make my next move. I'm just kind of nervous about the whole thing. I mean, yeah, I can exchange letters with her for awhile or I can meet her. I just don't know how I'm supposed to make my decision if I have no clue what she's going to say yet.
I'm also not sure about the time frame. If they said I'd get a response within 7-10 days of that phone call, should I call Catholic Charities on Monday if nothing comes, or should I give it another week?
On a lighter note, I'm working on 2 fics. One of which is another example of hot!wrong, which certain people enabled me into starting at Otakon. The other is teh_kittykat's birthday fic. Which I started at work. I swear, I write at work more when it's slow. And considering what I'm currently working on, I'd have some very interesting questions to answer if any of my coworkers saw it. Because on one hand, there would be questions about middle-aged lawyersex. And on the other hand, there would be questions about bondage and chocolate sauce. Oh yeah. Those would be so much fun to answer. @_@
