    when a security guard got in my face

    At Dragoncon, they have, in the past couple of years, had a ban on photography from like, 7-11 (or something like that) at night in the Hyatt. I completely understand their reasons for this (fire marshall – taking pics clogs up the paths too much, and there’s not much room over there). So I’m fine with the ban, I don’t…

    Dragoncon 2005 pics!

    4th Year at Dragoncon! So! Thursday morning I got up and went over to Ash’s where my mum picked us up and took us to the airport. Ash and I sat around for a while after checking in. Anyway, Cat and Melissa met us there and… um, do any of you guys remember being in the airport after security? Cause…

    ugh planes

    Can I just be sedated until we get to Atlanta? We’re leaving for Dragoncon tomorrow, and I’m a bundle of nerves. For various reasons. Everybody keep your fingers crossed that everything goes ok tomorrow! But anyway, we’ll be getting into ATL around 4:30 tomorrow afternoon. I won’t be around the hotel that night, though – we’ve got tickets to see…

    when i was selected

    Shock the monkey! I got a call today from someone from the Marriott. They referenced my reservation I’d made for Dragoncon, a couple of weeks ago. At first I’m thinking, oh crap, something has screwed up. But then she says that when I made my reservation, I was selected to receive an offer – I get to stay at any…

    we’re home from dragoncon. I’ll post more tomorrow – or wednesday. next couple of days will be tough, not only getting over con tiredness, but some other stuff that’s going on.

    when i couldn’t concentrate because dcon

    Two commercials I absolutely hate: Revlon commercial with that ‘i believe in love’ song. I hate that commercial, mostly because that song makes me want to rip my ears off… a Some jeans commercial. I don’t know what it’s for. Maybe for a department store sale or something, but it’s this woman walking down a hall to a version of…

    when i was worried about our dcon room

    I have been very worried about paying for the Dragoncon hotel room. Comic Con was really hard to pay for, and only having 2 paychecks between the two cons I knew was going to be hard. So I’ve been thinking and plotting trying to figure out how to get enough money back on my Mastercard in time for DC, so…

    when i had no point

    Ugh. I have been trying to get stuff ready for this thing I’m doing week after next… it’s time consuming and tiresome… on top of trying to get ready for Dragoncon. AUGH. Don’t even mention to me the fact that school starts back 2 days before Dragoncon. That’s not even on my radar, and it won’t be until September 7…

    Upcoming 2003 Schedules & Plans!

    I would just like to say here that I do not want to be a babysitter and tour guide at Dragoncon. That is all. Anyway. Other than that, I’m SO looking forward to Dragoncon.

    Hee!! There was a Rincewind at dragoncon that I didn’t see! I wanted dad to go as Rincewind but he hasn’t read those books. I think he’d do it if I really wanted him to… so maybe next year? And here’s a nice one of me & Ash… I really like this pic. I got a bonus point in class…

    Ok, so I just got back from dragoncon (it’s 12:30 now, as soon as I finish writing this I’m going to BED.) While the entire weekend had more than it’s share of moments, I just had to post these as soon as I got home. Tomorrow, hopefully, I’ll write up a full report before I forget everything. Anyway… These particular…
