DRAGON*CON IS IN THREE DAYS. WORK IS GOING TO BE INTERMINABLE UNTIL THEN. Here's my tentative schedule.

I'm using the app on my phone. If you want to be friends let me know and I'll send you a code or enter yours in!
I still need to find out from
count_to_seven when we'll be doing Girl!Iantos and the Archer group. And I should probably nail down Hunger Games plans with
ninepointfivemm, even though I know the photo shoot is at 2PM on Saturday. All of the costume stuff is packed and ready to go. I have my regular clothing all packed as well, so I don't accidentally wear any of it in the next three days. Over the next three days I need to make cookies, buy last minute supplies, nail down what Lisa and I want to do booze-wise, and make a list of things I'll need to pack Thursday morning, like bath stuff and electronics and chargers. Usually when I go away I don't stress too much about leaving things behind, because there's always a store to get to somewhere, but D*C is hectic enough without having to track down a Best Buy so I can get another iPod cable. Goodness.
Internet, is there a word for anticipating something the feel of which you know so well that you're already feeling yourself feel it in the future? BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE I AM NOW.
