Wut?
So I'm washing my brain of the yucky "Jason Momoa and the baby he had by cheating on his last chick with his new chick stroll captured from Lisa's (Bonnet) weirdo birthday dinner with Lenny Kravitz and her other kid" by Googling conventions near me. Nothing is more confusing to me than trying to figure out the website for a convention I want to attend.
That's one of the biggest reasons that I have yet to attend even one convention. The other big reasons are a general lack of funds to afford those damned conventions and my lack of knowledge about them ahead of time. So I thought it would be fun to look up things near me in the coming year. I already know that I can get around Texas for a relatively small amount of money. At least, a smaller amount of money than if I went to some of the better-known conventions that have all of the absolute best celebrities I actually want to see.
I found mostly anime conventions, which were interesting to look at. There are actually a few of them located right here in town or close to it. I am thinking about attending one, simply because I'd really like to do. You know, despite me not being a huge anime fan or anything. I'd just really like to give it a go. Besides, this con is supposed to cost WAY less than those other ones.
I know that it takes expenses and all to run these things, but exactly WHY are these prices so high?! For the most part, I'm certain that it's the talent being booked that's taking up most of the fees and such. And really, exactly HOW MANY fees must a person pay to bask in some two-bit celeb's limited glory? I love my shows and all, but its not like seeing them is going to save my life or anything.
Sure, I'll be all changed and everything, but that's more about the entire experience of attending a conventions and finally meeting fans as crazy about stuff as I am. And really, I'd love that a whole honkin' lot, because there simply aren't enough people that I talk to on a daily basis that like the same things that I do. Or, at least that I can hang out with, because we all have these work schedules and babies and husbands!
All right, so they have the babies and husbands, but I'm still getting part of that, since it affects me. Ya know?
I'm also writing for Nano in a very roundabout manner, because I'm bottling things like there's no tomorrow and my ideas might spoil if laid out for the world to see. And not even the entire world, just me, too. I'm writing on this wayward fic that's supposed to be a Rodney-centric drabble, but it's now meandering on to parts unknown with no plot in tow. I guess that I wouldn't mind quite so much if I actually knew where I was going with this and didn't think that I sounded quite so stupid writing it. Guh.
The lobby's going to close soon, so I'd better get off of the computer in a few minutes. I think that I'll go home and drown it all out with television. Nothing kills creativity and brain cells quicker than good old television.
Speaking of which, I didn't win my box set of SG-1's season one. I missed the ending bid by $0.50! Fifty freakin' cents! GUH!!!
