A friendly reminder: Taxes are due in about an hour.

Me? My dad did mine, and I've already gotten my refund. ^^


So, I got something in the mail today from Hobbystar. Apparently, for just under $400, you can...
~Meet Buzz Aldrin
~get an autographed 16x20 limited edition photo, and an 8x10 of him and you
~go to a VIP Q&A session with him
~get VIP seating at his presentation
~and get a complimentary deluxe admission to the expo


...either Dr. Aldrin costs FAR too much to make an appearance, or Fan Expo is trying to milk everyone for as much money as possible. My guess is..... both. >.<

I mean, yes, it sounds cool, but... I'm a broke student. I'm not gonna be able to afford $400 for ATTENDING one convention, let alone food/transportation/merch/anything else. And even then, the only con I generally buy a ton of stuff at is AN.

Honestly, I love fan-run conventions. That is why AN is awesome. And my favourite con ever. My second favourite con that I've attended is NAF. And there's not a ton to do at it, but it's more fun because it IS a fan-run convention. The TACS and Fan Expo may have more guests, but less to do overall... and less... of a friendly feel. It's more about money there... but it's more about fun at fan-run events. Or so I find.


I've been in a bit of a bad mood the past couple days. Not in an angry way, in a guilty/slightly upset way /...you know... paranoid.
I have to say, a good episode of Whose Line is a good way to battle this in the short run. ^^;

I think that getting together with people might help with getting over this too... given that there's productivity and/or cuddling involved. I talked to [livejournal.com profile] two_powers over the phone today, and I'm not sure if i quite got everything out that I wanted to (I'm still worried that I'm stressing too much at her over stuffs...), but we're getting together on Friday to work on stuff, and the more stuff gets done, the more I will be happy. I think. Because there will be less to freak out about.

Not that there has been much freaking out today, at all, really. Just some... down-feeling. Which is quite different, trust me. This just makes me want to cuddle someone for a while and relax/do stuff with people... panicking makes me want to do everything NOW and thus not do anything. *nods*

I feel like I should lose weight to look better in cosplay pics. And, you know, avoid getting diabetes. But, I can't help but say that all the pics of me as Honey at MTAC.... I don't know if there's even one I like. I love, like, all the pictures of Mori and most of the Kyouya ones... but I don't like how I look. Which is odd because i loved how the outfit looked on me when I first got it... :S Mind, photo =! mirror.

Then again, losing a ton o'weight this month would mean my costumes would no longer fit right. XDDDD

I'm also hoping to get some money back from certian people soon. 'cause I need it to get more cosplay stuffs. >.> *wonders how much money she'll actually have at AN*


In other news, i'm about halfway done making Kuma-chan's outfit for the Saturday of AN (he's not getting a costume for the other two days... XD). Now, just to finish it, and make Usa-chan's.... ^_~
