I can't believe Arisia is tomorrow. I admit to feeling a bit of trepidation, like I'm severely underprepared. Only a bit, since there's nothing for me to prepare, in reality, aside from following the orders of Fearless Warren Leader Cthulhia (this is not to imply that the boston-warren has just one Fearless Leader, if indeed it has any at all, but for all things relating to Boston cons she nonetheless fills the role very nicely).
The major similarity between this year and last year will be seeing my hero (even though I haven't communicated with him in, er, a year) Zarf again, and playing many many many games with he and many many other people, spreading the good Looney Lab news to all who will listen. The major difference is that I'll be there for all three days, I'll know people besides cthulhia (who herself is also a new person of a sort, in that she is a closer friend now to me than she was even just a year ago, when I, a trembling newbie to this whole area, spent the con clinging to her like a scared baby monkey), several friends from outside the boston-warren or either of the Circle Js will be in attendance, and I may actually attend some of the convention stuff outside of the gaming. Wow.
I'm still telling myself I'll be able to get some book-work in. Uh-huh.
