Time feels like it's been passing bizarrely fast lately!
I keep making lists and intending to do things and then realizing that weeks have passed like days-- even more so than usual. It's actually a bit alarming.
Tomorrow I have a day off in which to do about a dozen things I need to do, and mostly all I want to do is write a bit, finish up a Near picture and... something else... eat snacks? This is probably not going to happen.
Went to PAX for a day and to Kumoricon for all three days, and it was much fun. Got to visit much with Stephnike and Rachan, sold two Mario purses I'd made (to friend-types, but still!) and didn't get much sleep. Oh! But I can now say that I've been carried by Mello, which makes me delighted. One of Stephnike's friends gave my tentacle-monster halfbreed self a ride across the wet grass because I was in sandals and long pants and she is crazily strong. (You can see pics of how awesome she and her Matt are on
's gallery! Blackfruitbat being Matt.) My brain can still not wrap around how she carried me. I'm taller than her! ...That really doesn't mean much since I'm only 5'2", but still!
I'll badger my sis for a picture of that later if I remember to. Or if she reads this. *waves?*
The best scene in the world was when a random fanboy came running at us in the park outside of the con and shouted at our Mello for a hug. Without missing a beat or even looking at him, Mello pulled out her gun (a nicely real-looking thing) and shoved it into his stomach, told him, "No" and kept walking. (Matt was nicer, she gave him a hug.)
It's a scene I will hold close to my heart.
I also, at PAX, made a pic of Jonathan Coulton while he was doing his mini-concert thing and gave it to him after the concert thing, then promptly fled in embarrassment. I think I also announced that I was fleeing.
Anyway, the biggest news is that Heerichan's currently in Osaka until Christmas Eve. I haven't gone crazy yet, but expect to! I figure reality will hit me in a few weeks and I'll start talking to the rats like they can talk back. (Honestly, even if they could speak, I think they'd be too dumb for conversation.) Heerichan, have fun! I'll try not to kill your plants! I remembered to water them today!
