Committed

Finally booked the BotCon hotel. I would have done it sooner, but there was a slim possibility of someone coming with me. He got back to me today with an unsurprising negative. Honestly, it's a relief. The last few times I've tried to plan trips with other people, they've claimed to be available but then canceled at the last possible minute. (I realize things can come up unexpectedly, but to have this happen with five people for one, three another, and then three again for yet another is a bit frustrating.)

Flying alone, rooming alone. I've done my share of travel and staying in hotels, but this is the first time I'm going to be completely alone. Fortunately, I have three months with which to both start and stop freaking out. Hopefully we can avoid starting at all, though.

Now BotCon preregistration just has to get up, and I'm all set! I wish I had a better idea of what the exclusives are going to be, because that'd tell me if I want the full Primus package or something slightly less expensive.

The good news for all of you is that now that I've committed myself to it, I will stop angsting all over the place (look, it's even on the curtains. Oh, what a mess) about it.


I'm hoping to write something using either my Final Fantasy XI characters or Jade/Okame for this month, if only because I can usually make up something for both groups when I've absolutely no idea what to write otherwise.

Still open to suggestions, though. (Come on, this is your chance to request I write insanely bizarre things that I'd otherwise refuse! Don't believe that. I'm easily corrupted.)

Speaking of FFXI, which we weren't, I loathe Red Mage. I am not a mage. I am not enjoying leveling this job at all. It is, at least, marginally better than White or Black would have been, but still.
