Claire gave me a call today to work out the kinks of our Nekocon trip. Seems we now have Eight people going - Four guys and Four girls. This means we need a second driver, which means I'll be driving, the significance of which means I will not be in the car with Claire.
Further more, of the Eight, I know Three - Myself, Louis, and Claire. Which leaves Five unfamiliar faces in our group. I'm mildly disappointed by this fact.
I'm scared. I really don't know what it's going to be like, seeing her again - particularly in the given circumstances. I foresee feeling very out of place, unwanted, and alone. Which would suck, because I really want to enjoy this Con, Claire or No Claire. I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to take the emotional strain, a taste of which I fear I experience everytime I hear her voice.
^_^;; I guess, in a way, if she's going to have five of her friends there, what does she need me for?

I also fear that having my car down there might nessesitate a trip to the Crofts, another set of people I'm afraid would be just as well off if I didn't make an appearance.

She needs you there because you are ALSO her friend, Andrew. I think between you, Leslie and Beth.... there's too much damn worry over the con. My advice to all of you is to just go and have a good time... no matter who or what is there or not there. I mean... what else CAN you do, really?

I'm all jealous because a) I know or have heard of most of the people going (between you, Beth and Megan's social circles) ... and b) I'm stuck here in effing California. With no friends. And no money.

Yeah. So, please, will somebody go and have a good time... for me? ::sniffles:: Please?

^_^;; Yeah, a little voice in the back of my mind is trying to get that through to me, too. I IMed my friend Sara about it - admitedly because I knew she would say something to lift my spirits, and she did - and she said "everyone i know who's met you likes you and thinks you are cool so i don't think you'll have anything to worry about" which seems to be the general concensus among, well, most everyone I know. ^_^;;
-_- It just takes a while for the wound to close up...

BUT, you're right. I AM going to have friends there - Leslie and Beth and Rae and Louis and Claire (and maybe that cute girl from AnimeUSA will make an appearance ^_~). So, especially for you Mel, I'll try my darndest to have a good time, and i'll be sure to have happy stories for you when the curtain closes. And sushi. Must. Get. Sushi.

Hell yes. Sushi like a futhamucka!

As for...everything...I don't know. Beth and I have some worries about this con, too. I think we all should just band together and try to have the best gosh-darned time possible. I could really use a Happy Con. I know on my part, it'll be good to see Louis again - he's a cool guy, and I've only really talked to him twice. I just hope that somewhere in that weekend, you can find a happy, too.

I can't really imagine what it is you and Beth could plausibly fear about this Convention. But I think Mel's right in that, if we don't have fun, it's prolly gonna be our own damn fault. ^_^;; If nothing else, there'll be you, Beth, Louis and I (and yeah, I don't REALLY think I'll be ostracized - infact, it could be, I donno, coll ti meet these people. Specially since I hear one is the infamous Meghan...?) there's just a bit of emotional strain on my part, but I'm sure once the situation is upon us, it won't nearly be so bad as I imagine.

<mikermyers>And the Sushi will be ours. Oh yes, it will be ours.</mikermyers>
