I haven't started at all. I have an essay I need to turn in by the 11th of August, and right after that I have orientation for PSU. The day after that, I'm going to California, and by the time I come back kcon will be here. So yeah. No time haha.

Sig by me~~~

Cosplay for '08:
Probably none D:

I can understand what you are going through. This week has been hectic and there is still three more days. I need to make the finishing touches on my costume, get the food for the picnic, study and work. There is a lot of studying that needs to be done but the next test isn't for another two weeks.

I am so happy that my schedule at work is changing back to Monday-Friday.  I've felt bad that I've been so out of the loop.

So, I'm going to be at both the August meetings, and bust my butt at con, as per usual, to make up for it.

Yays! 

Is it sad I'm more excited to actually work the event instead of attending it.

I updated my map!
With the help of google I have approximate distances from the convention site.

The whole map is about a mile and a half wide to give you a sense of scale.

Great job Tom!

Hey, who here is coming from somewhere relatively far and has to drive up to the con? I'm totally gonna play 'spot the other cosplayers' on the way up.

Auuuugh, indecisiveness! My hair is long at the moment and I'm not sure whether to cut it off for Ouran Haruhi or keep it long for Renge or something. Gotta get a wig cap and try again and see if any of them will fit my large head x_x;; /bitchwhine

I'll think of something...

I'm definitely looking forward to the con, even if I am a staff member who will be lucky to get 12 hours of sleep in 3 days.

Well I could add cake but cake is messy and difficult to transport in any large numbers. XD

cupcakes? Cupcakes are a little easier and you don't need a plate or a fork.....then again you don't really need a plate or a fork for cake. ;D

Hmm maybe next year there will be cupcakes. I already have to finish getting my costumes ready and between that working out and just working I don't even want to try the baking bit...*shudders*

Yeah but with the bracelets I get 10 ball connectors so I can make essentially glowing beachballs for tossing! Hmm I'm sure there is a problem with that idea somewhere...

We had those at our Alt-prom. :] If you play with them too much they break apart which sucks.

Ah but when they break apart then more people get to enjoy the glowiness to themselves!

They used to sell glowsticks at my camp's store... Then some kid chewed on one at two in the morning and ended up with a glowing mouth. Good thing the stuff inside was non-toxic.

Yay glowing mouth!!! Yeah but the super thin glass inside can get in your mouth... Actually I'm not sure if they still use glass to keep the chemicals separate...

Hmph. I'll probably end up with Subway stuffed down my throat at some time or other during the con. That's why my family's there, to make sure me and Chibi-Tres don't starve!

Defiantly bringing granola bars... Those things can sustain life for 8+ hours when eaten with fluids (cause the granola swells up).

Don't forget your fruit and veggies people ;__; gaining weight at a con is so easily because of all the junk laying around! no one likes feeling bloated and gross!
