I wish I HAD work.

/hugs

I'd give you some of mine.

/hugs forever.

i have sads

/has only hugs

/going to take the hugs forever

/luckily, has hugs forever

I'm being very sad right now. I'm in that almost-otakon+life sucks slump >:

I know you worry about things. But you know who's going to be at Otakon? Me, and like 11 of the coolest people I know. And we are psyched to

hang out with you.

It's not much. But that's what I've got.

I only really know you, Nick, Tony, Kara and Melanie. I don't know ANYONE ELSE in this group

Well, we really are the core of the group. And everyone else is just... chill.

I'm just.../sigh

I'm planning on cutting a lot of people from my life after this con

The girl I'm rooming with in particular

Yeah... we've been having some drama with the guy who usually does our reservations...

But we can't even call him on his shit until after the con.

the guy part of the group?

Only kind of. He's very fringe, and seems to like it that way.

ah okay.

yeah...the girl i'm staying with

she's the reason I posted that giant note a few months back about my budget

Her family makes Four million dollars a year.

Pay for her to go to school out of pocket

pay for her gas

pay for her damn apartment

pay for everything

give her like a thousand dollars spending money every week

and she bitches about how much her life sucks and how she has no money

what.

Gah, I can't stand that.

and I had to explain to her that having no money is when your parents work collectively 8 jobs to put you through school, and your

spending money equals $3000 a year at BEST

Seriously.

She knows nothing of being poor, nothing of what it means to have a bad life

She called me out for drinking and called me an alcoholic

I make $12,000 a /year/ if I'm /lucky/.

I'm ALMOST 21...I drink, maybe on or two drinks a week...

She also calls me emotionally unstable and claims that I need to get help or she won't be my friend

Yeah, no... that seems like someone you might not need to know.

I'm sorry, but BPD+PTSD=A duo of mental disorders that are helped by HAVING friends

And she...just, isn't supportive.

That really sucks.

I could bitch about her for hours, but I think that's enough

I'm staying with her mainly due to me needing a place at the hilton because i've got an ankle injury and can't walk very far.

/nods

Yeah, that's like with our room. We literally couldn't find anywhere else /in/ the city.

She...has a habit of not letting her friends leave her hotel room until SHE'S ready

which hotel are you at?

The Marriott. The kid who does our reservations works for them, so he gets a discount.

Which Marriott?

There's two

I'm not sure... I wanna say the Harborside one, but I can't remember.

Inner harbor?

that ones closer to the BCC

Maybe. All I know is it's attached to the convention center and I've drooled at it every Otakon.

Okay, yeah, that's Inner Harbor

It's not actually attached to the con center

It's across the street

from the hotel that IS attached

So, you'll just need to cross the street and go into the hilton, go to the second floor and voila

We've never been closer than like... seven blocks, ro the convention center itself.

*to

One year, we had to take the light rail in for like.. 30 minutes.

So, if you're at the Marriott across from the Hilton this year, then you're in luck! \o/

Seriously. I am excite.

I swear, you guys are the only reason I'm really going to Otakon

Awwww~

Well, /I/ swear we are all going to have an awesome time.

I hope so!

/hugs

I'm not actually changing into Ryoji for the P3 stuff until later in the day when it has HOPEFULLY cooled off a bit. I am not wearing that

scarf midday. Nope. That is a night cosplay, thank you

Yeeeeeah... seriously. The worst one I ever did was Rufus Shinra. The layers killlllllled me.

Denmark

First Otakon

Yikes.

First exposure to 100+ temperatures+humidity

I was part of a private-outdoor photoshoot

Double yikes.

WINTER WOOL, TWILL AND FLANNEL+3 LAYERS

/dies at the thought

I proceeded to striptease when I went back inside to the APH cosplayers watching us.

lol

Nice.

Never again though. APH isn't my thing anymore

...however overly hot cosplays are.

I'm actually going to be Greece, for at least part of the weekend. It's nice and lowkey.

do you have a Mt.Athos?

/was little!Greece at her first Otakon also

Nope. It's pretty dress down. I will have cat ears, though. And a shovel.

/...debates bringing Mt. Athos on the bus for you now.

I'm mostly doing it because Nick and Tony are doing America and Russia, respectively.

Last Otakon was the last time I was ever going to cosplay APH. I was New Zealand and an OC nation. Not Ireland.

Nice. I plan on being France when we get our whole group together. And actually Denmark as well, when we do the Baltics.

I'll sell you his coat if you want it XD

lol, that is very tempting! Once we get around to deciding if it's a pipe dream or not, I might take you up on that.

awesome~ |3

For now... I think I need a shower and some sleep.

I do too. I gotta get my sleep SLIGHTLY regular before Otakon

/is sooo sweaty... forever...

6:50AM bus on Thursday

/gotta be up at 4 for it

Ick. We're leaving wednesday night. /right/ after I get out of work.

Ouch.

Yeah.

Well, get some rest~ X3

I'll talk to you later~

Luckily, I'm not one of our drivers.

You too!

<3

Night :3
