It *totally* sucks being responsible and all...adult...like, when really I want to scream and tantrum and just GET MY WAY, dammit! I'm totally disappointed.
AW sweetie, I know how you feel. When talk of this meet up was starting I knew from the get go I wouldn't be able to attend. I'm sorry you're having to make the tough choice to be responsible and not put yourself further into debt for it. The gang will totally understand and those than don't well, frell 'em. ;)
*hugs* There's always next year for the two of us to attend, ya know...unless they hold it the same weekend as my annual Farscape con...then you Closers are on your own. ;)
Hahahaha, frell 'em! That's funny! I love the frell :)
Yeah, I would be so far into debt it wouldn't even be funny if I took this trip. If the hotel room wasn't so damn expensive I might be able to swing it, but man...$375??? That's HUGE to me right now. And everyone has been so sweet and great about it...they're still rapid firing plans left and right to get me down there, but I just don't think it's gonna work this year. :(
I hear ya. I attend the Farscape Con every year...and we all share rooms to cut down on the cost...but this year, again we might wind up with 2 rooms rather than one...which means it will cost me more than I was planning on. We'll see how it goes.
I'm really sorry, Steph. I was looking forward to it -for- you as I don't know if there is anyone in this world who could use a purely fun get away more than you right now. I was pulling for everything to work out for you, but at the same time, I so understand your thought process and why you've come to the decision that you have.
I had no business even considering it as I have some pretty good sized financial issues myself (in addition to the other things which make me think that I'm probably not fit for such a social event) at the moment, but in the past few weeks, I admit that a part of me was starting to consider 'what ifs' and what might happen if I just said 'to hell with it' and went. Meeting the buds and doing the whole TNT experience is probably going to be beyond incredible----but yeah, I'm thinking maybe next time the cards will line up better for all of us? I'm crossing my fingers for next time!
Hang in there, kiddo. The universe absolutely -has- to reward you for being so responsible, I'd say!
Yeah! I want rewarded for being responsible, darn it! I wish I lived closer to the south. Driving 9 hours with gas being the way it is, a hotel room that may as well cost a million dollars if it's going to cost $375...*sigh*. Ohhhh, to have a job where I was actually making enough to carelessly splurge a little... :)
