My birthday balloons are still floating!
Okay, this is officially my new livejournal, after holding the name for over a month and decorating it and never getting around to doing anything with it. My previous LJ, for anyone who doesn't know, was troubleisorange which was originally intended to be just for my writing, and which is what it mostly was. So if I end up writing more that I want to post, it'll probably still be posted over there, if anyone is interested in that kind of thing.
Wow, so I haven't updated LJ in just about forever, so this may be a kind of long entry. First things first, the most recent: AFO! It was just this past weekend and I have to say it was great. Jess, Liz and I went up early on Friday and weren't actually allowed to check into the hotel until 4 (the hotel was just about the only downside, I have to say.)
There was no cosplaying or anything huge like that on my part, so there's not much to detail other than to say it was a lot of fun. The hotel decided it would be a good idea to clean our room (which is to say tuck down the sheet and that's all) -- then leave our door open and our blinds open/lights on so that everyone could see our luggage and everything. Thanks, Wyndham, high-five!
We spent most of our time in the artist's alley hanging out with silvertales 's table and all of the cool people who surrounded it. It was like a magnet for people who were fun to hang out with, so it was really a great time. I really was sad to go, if for nothing else than because everyone was so much fun to talk to and I miss seeing them all. I know, I'm a big baby, yay.
Oh, and of course, saw some AMAZING artwork from the above mentioned table and tables surrounding it. People can do such amazing things, I just can't believe it.
Away from con-related jazz, lots of stuff going on with college. I'm going up to Gainesville soon to look at apartments again, and hopefully sign a lease for the begining fall semester! I'm really excited, but at the same time it makes me feel kind of sick to my stomach. I'm convinced this is the kind of feeling you get when you realize you've just sold the rest of your time to being an adult and working all the time (at least, when I'm not in class) -- and it all just seems like it's happened far too soon, even though it's taken forever and I partially can't wait to get started.
I'm convinced that this is what being mature feels like! .. I think I'm very wrong and just being a baby, but there's still so much to do and it's a lot of stress ontop of my 9-to-5 every day. Enough complaining from me, though.
I really really want to get back into writing .. I feel horrible for not writing more, since it really is my big passion. I just haven't been struck with ny ideas to write out lately ..
Jess and I are going to have our 1 and a half year coming up this Wednesday, which is also cool+100, because, well .. I just never imagined I could be this happy, or this close to someone. It's been an absolutely amazing year and a half, and more than I could have ever asked for.
But I guess that's enough LiveJournal writing for right now. I'm sure it was longer than anyone wanted to read. To sum everything up: had an amazing weekend, wish I could do it all over gain, stess with school stuff, love love love, I'm doing really well!
