dejanaToday SUCKS in lots of ways, from petty to not-so-petty. Frustrated ranting ahead. If you're not in the mood for it, please at least skip to the bottom if you're going to be at Anime North this weekend.
First of all, I had a million things to do today as I leave for the con tomorrow, so after getting home from my overnight shift this morning I only slept for a few hours. That was made worse by the fact that I didn't make it to Jiffy Lube early enough Monday night to get my oil changed before work, so I had to hang around work an extra hour Tuesday morning until it opened so I could get it done then. I was so tired today, my knees hurt more than they ever have before. Even walking down the stairs from work this morning just killed, and I've never had trouble with that no matter what shape I was in.
This afternoon was all right for the most part aside from the tiredness, I got a lot of my necessary errands done but still didn't have time to pack anything. Then it was off to the Death Note movie. Even though it was showing at a location very near me, I drove half an hour to another theater across town because that was where most of the people on the Anime Detour forum seemed to be going. I'd made a Detour sign (after having to run out for fresh ink for my printer) and had been told the other folks from the forum would meet up with me if I had an identifying sign. So I went there... and stood in the lobby for half an hour waiting, looking like a lonely loser with my Detour sign. Nobody approached me. Not a soul. Fortunately my sister had been able to come with me, or it would've been really pathetic.
The other people from the forum did go to the movie, of course. They posted in the thread afterwards saying so. But none of them said a word to me, after they'd told me they would. I should've just gone to the close location. >:(
THEN, I get home and spend three hours packing, so guess who's driving eight hours tomorrow on less than a full night's sleep! ME! Hooray! Plus, it turns out I totally forgot to run the update on .moon this week. Again. I swear, I'm really losing it. And, as if plans for Anime North weren't already going rough, with congoing friends running into conflicts and meetups not working out, a few minutes ago I find out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jasonulloa's been screwed over by the military machine and he can't make it to the con after all. After all this, all the arranging and string-pulling and planning to get around things, he's going to miss the con. F**KING A. I am so furious on his behalf, I can't even see straight. He'd been looking forward to this for so long. He needed and deserved this, and now it's been taken away from him. It's so unfair.
And on my end, what was to be the biggest .moon meetup to date is now back to me driving all the way to Toronto alone like I did the first year. I'm still excited to go, for the people who are still going to be there, but I'm having trouble keeping my optimism up. :(
Anyway... rant-fest aside... if you're going to be at Anime North this weekend, I'll be there Thursday night through Monday morning. Friday and Sunday I'll be carrying the Anti-Ego Sword, and Saturday I'll be in my Princess Pluto cosplay. I'll be on the Sailormoon panel, the PGSM panel, and the general fanfic panel, and I plan on being at the fanfic contest awards roundtable. If you see me, please say hi. Even if you've met me before, I'm absolutely horrible at remembering faces, so please don't wait for me to recognize you first. ^^;; I do want to see you, I swear. :)
