Connotations!

Today is a day to celebrate! First, it's Friday, which is usually absolutely wonderful in and of itself but today also happens to be Friday, August, 1st, meaning that, as of right this minute, I'm off work for three weeks! There's no words for how awesome that is :-)

And! yami_tai and I are going to Connotations, that's official! Pending any catastrophe that would occur between today and October that is but whee it's done! The tickets have been bought, we also have the rooms booked, so I just need to sort out the travel and we're all set!

I've heard so much about that con, I cannot wait to be there :-)

Also, I was talking with the one co-worker that was left in my department today and we were talking about our hobbies and she was like 'you seem quite passionate about tv shows', which, yeah, I guess I am :-p

I was telling her it wasn't just the show itself but everything that went with it; the fannish talks, the fannish energy, the fannish creativity, the cons, well, everything, really, and I knew she wasn't really getting it but she was trying to, which I thought was sweet. Usually people just think you're weird and have lame-ass hobbies and that's it.

I enjoyed what she said when I explained to her what a convention was, ie 'sounds like there's an incredible energy there' because that's definitely it. Guess I explained it well :-)

Anyway, all that to say, I'm supposed to be going to Connotations with yami_tai, where I'll finally meet turps33 and her kick-ass hubby and I'm so excited that I could burst!

Seeing how everything can happen to stop you from going to a con - I'm think of Asylum2 here - I think it's nice to get excited while you can *nods* So, yay, con \o/
