well colored me annoyed.

Last week I requested Sunday the 27th off, partly because of kamikaze-con this weekend, and later learned my grandfather was in town. As of the end of my shift on Friday. my request was still on a waiting list pending approval and my regularly schedule day off is saturday and no way to find out if I'm approved off except at a desk in the call center. So I don't know if i'm working Sunday or not, and I would prefer not to go in at 12:15 on sunday and find out then that I don't have to be there. >_< Since I have to drive past work to get anywhere I'm thinking of just running in really quick on my way to the con, checking and if it's still pending ask my manager or some-one for help because it's utterly stupid that I have to go in on my day off to see if my extra day off was approved.


Also did a quick run out to my parents for a brief visit with my grandpa, and show off my car. Hoping I get to see him again before he heads back to Ohio.

kamikaze con report

So after a very restless night of no sleep I got up today and headed out for a day at Kamikaze con in downtown Houston. Did a quick run into work to see about tomorrow, my request is STILL listed as waitlisted >< fuckit! I'm calling off.

Anyway, made it downtwon and found a place to park and headed toward the hotel. Aided and abetted the deliquicy of a minor by pretending to be her gaurdian so she could get into the con. *waves to newly discovered little sister Laura* Put on my kenshin costume after getting my badge and the picture taking began. Apparently I was the only TV kenshin there that day, and I only saw two other people cosplaying kenshin characters, one Sano and one OVA kenshin. Tons of naruto cosplayers though, which did kill my desire to cosplay as a naruto-chan come A-kon. At the same time I'm getting a little tired of my kenshin costume(worn it to three cons already)

Dealers room opened a little late and the damage to the wallet began.

Watched some E's Otherwise, remembered I liked that show from the fansub I managed to get. *adds to list of dvds to buy and sighs at the length*

Hit the yaoi panel and learned of a new company planning to liscense and bring yaoi manga over Website here Founded and run completely by fans. Looking forward to see what they have.

I aslo finally got to see a Carrot Glace cosplayer. Poor guy he had been going around with no-one even realizing he was cosplaying until I went up to him and said " You're cosplaying as Carrot Glace, right" His response, "YES!! *hugs me* thank you!!!" Probably helped that I'm a complete Carrot fangirl. ^_^

Also went to the cell painting panel with Steve Bennet, although it should be marketed at a motivation panel with cell painting. He just kept talking and talking and talking. Afterwards I did one last run through the dealers room and saw a t-shirt which required a call to Blue because I knew she would love it. it was black and said
bag of dice. 15$
graph paper. 2.75$
enough imagination to play rpg's: priceless

There are some games money can't buy, for everything else there's Xbox"

After that last run I was exhausted(stupid sleep deprivation) stripped out my costumes(don't worry I had normal street clothes on underneath) Headed out to blue's to give her the shirt, watched the Incredbles and came home.

If anyone cares to see me acting like a geek check out A Fan's View Scroll down and you can see me as Kenshin

and now I'm going to bed.
