Ah so many decisions so little time...

Hmmm... I think I caught up on all my posts, all I can do is humbly apologize if I missed someone somewhere.

I am feeling better after my tirade yesterday. I have decided that after Dragon*Con I will be making an appointment with my doctor, and calling the insurance company. Thank you all the people that wrote in support of me on it. I can't say that I don't still feel I am in a way being vain, because I still do have that feeling - at least right now. It's something I will be trying to sort out in the near future.

I went out with chalice66 last evening and had a wonderful time just sitting and chatting with her (until 7am!). I am seriously trying to make an effort to go out and be with people. In fact, tonight, I am going to The Vortex in Little 5 with some friends. I have never been there, so I am really excited about it.

Tomorrow is the final Director's Meeting for Dragon*Con before the convention. This is going to be... interesting. On the up note, in a week all my responsibilities as far as programming and text editing/layout/design of the Pocket Program will be over and done with. Then I might be able to decompress some before the con actually starts and be a much nicer person than I normally am during the Con.

A weird aspect of this year's con is that for the first time in ten years I will be attempting to go out and actually go to panels and see things besides the compulsory people watching from the balcony of the second floor in the Hyatt. This comes as a result of a decree from eugie, and a serious attempt on my part not to micromanage the Daily Dragon or Signage. It helps that I have full faith and trust in Eugie, Matt and Michael, otherwise, I think I would be really stressing. As it is, I am relieved over that part - but I am still a wee bit leery of this "being out among the masses" thing.

I have made several serious decisions in relationship to this.

One, the f*ck me shoes are staying home. I love them, I love the way they look on my feet, but unless I can find an Anubian God to cart me around on his shoulder the entire weekend, then no. Just. No.

Two, except for Sunday evening when I am wearing my Demeter costume as part of the Senior Directors "Greek Gods and Goddesses" theme night, and possibly wearing a Renn outfit on Friday or Saturday evening, I am wearing jeans and sneakers and a comfy (and hopefully cute) shirt. This decision has come with a lot of volleying of pros and cons. I love costuming, if I could Cosplay 24/7 I probably would. However, I have decided to go with comfort over costuming, at least this year.

Three, I will decide before the Con what I am wearing, and pack only those things. I have had a tendency in the past to pack everything mostly because I was always so far behind I didn't have time to make decisions. The side of me that enjoys simplicity is loving this plan.

Four, I am going to eat, and sleep this year. I really mean it this time. :)

Five, I am going to decide what events I want to go to, and not freak out if I fall off schedule.

Six... ummm I am not sure there is a six. If I think of more I will let you know. For now, that is all.

Oh, and did I ever mention that I cancelled my art space in the Art Show this year? Um. Well. I did.

I have some ambitious ideas about some things I want to do after D*C, but I am going to wait until it's over to talk about it I think. Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled program.

(Oh and no one, I mean no one is allowed to print this list, then rag on me if I don't follow it. So :P!)
