Why isn't there a LiveJournal for Misti-Con? All the news about it seems to be on Facebook. Costuming and cosplay are hugely popular topics. No one seems to have any interest in slash ( Read more... )

With a single comment, Alisanne has convinced me to go to LUBRICUS 2012. I couldn't have gone this year even if I had known about it, due to many other responsibilities, but I have it down on my calendar for August 16 - 19, 2012. It's a relatively small Harry Potter slash convention held in Renton, Washington, which is an hour's drive for me. I've ( Read more... )

I've asked this before, but who is considering going to Ascendio 2012? Financially I know it would be unreasonable for me, but I can't get the idea out of my mind. It just sounds so terrific, and the idea that I might get together with other Snape slash fans is incredibly tempting. I've been wanting to get down to Orlando for ages anyway, as I ( Read more... )

Now back to Norwescon - I met pir8fancier! Okay, I exaggerate, I didn't actually meet her, but I ( Read more... )

Spent yesterday catching up on details of the Reno Worldcon committee, stuff I should have done long ago. Today I have to concentrate on getting ready for the actual trip - things like packing. But it's hard to stay focused with so many other things happening ( Read more... )

After I get the laundry in and the dishwasher loaded I have to start sorting mail and paying bills for both myself and my mother. At noon Justice needs a ride to Jessica's - that's always stressful, because I'm not supposed to have her in my car except during scheduled dates. And tonight she will probably need a ride home. I have to get my ( Read more... )

Latest crises is that I had to suspend service on Justice's cell phone. She was taking the phone home and texting her boyfriend all night, and then making up outrageous stories about Britney sneaking the phone to her or her sneaking over to Britney's. Gave her every chance in the world, but can find no other way that I can feel safe that she won't ( Read more... )

I've had better days ( Read more... )
