WriterCon dilemma

[kenyacandoit]

My heart's pounding with a bit of fear and trepidation as I write this.

I cut because I care.

I think you should go! We're all gonna be in a similar state, glomping onto each other in various phases of social dilemma. I'm already in a room with other people but I think there's a place on the WriterCon website or LJ community for finding people to room with?

[kenyacandoit]

I love that you responded! You are my mental list of people I love on LJ that I don't really know but want to and feel like I kinda do. And you wrote with your poor sore finger!

I want to go. I think I'd join in once I got over the sign-me-up-who-am-I-staying-with fear. I'm pretty outgoing basically, it's just that first hurdle, you know?

And you know you aren't going to have any trouble! You are a *famous* writer! And have met other LJers in person! You're set! I want to be set, too. :(

But thank you again, for responding. It means a whole bunch, honestly.

You really, really should come. I can't see how you could possibly regret it, you know? *Hugs*

I'd offer to share a room, but I'm a smoker, and I will be smoking in my room. Potentially chain smoking if I get inspired and write something as an alternative to deep social anxiety issues. I was glad during the first Writer Con that I had plans to meet my beta reader and a few other writers I knew from email. If you decide to go, let me know. I'll give you the name I'm checking in under.

Um, I'm a smoker, too, though I feel strange calling myself one. I have this weird thing where I only smoke in my apartment. I have no desire to smoke elsewhere. My family doens't even acknowledge that I do smoke, though you know I've gotta smell like smoke. I think it's the case of if they don't see it, it's not happening, which is fine by me!

Thank you so much for responding. I was afraid noone would, since I'm such a loner spaz on LJ. I don't mean to be. I'm here all the time, I just don't post or comment much. Bad Kenya.

I'll definitely let you know for sure if I'm going. I'll look forward to meeting on of my favorite writers (and beg a bit for you to continue the Willow/Spike epic!)

I'm at the begining of buying a house, so while I've got a reservation and I've booked my flights, I probably won't know for sure if I'm going until the end of this month. If you are still looking for a roommate at that point, let me know and we can make arrangements to get in touch with each other.

I will be there. You should come. *nods*

It will be fun.

[kenyacandoit]

Oh my gosh, Yin responded to my post! I'm giddy! I had in mind when I posted a few names that I wished would respond to me, the very favorite women on my flist that I get school-girly over and two have already commented. And yes, you are soooo one of them!

Thank you responding. You don't know how honored I feel. Ok, Dorktown now has a new mayor, but I hope you get how I feel and what I mean. I love your writing, I love reading about your life, and I wish I had someone like you in my town I could be friends with.

Oh Lord, will my sappiness ever end?

Sorry.

But thanks so much.

I want to go to WriterCon!!!

[yin_again]

*blush*

Aw, hon - you're always so good for my ego. I hope you do come to WriterCon - I'd love to meet you in person.

[dancetomato]

You will go to WriterCon. Yis, you will. For I have decreed it!

(Um, pretty please?)

[kenyacandoit]

Ok, you win! Stop pusing me! I registered, ok? :P

Now my stomach's all swirly with the anxiety of finding a place to stay and with whom. After that, I'm not going to worry about anything else. Not my clothes or my fatness or money. ::bites fingernails::

Thanks so much for commenting.

*points up* What they said!

And I would've replied hours ago, but I got kidnapped for a dreamweaver lecture, but yes, yes, you are coming. Because then I would hug you and squish you.

And don't worry about the housing thing (well, time is running out, they've only got so much space) because we're all pretty squishable and, you know. Sleeping bags aren't comfortable, but they are a *possibility* so, um. Yeah :)

You are coming. Because DT said so, and she is Always Right!

[kenyacandoit]

::checks another person off the mental list of who I hoped would respond to my post::

Thank you for commenting! And I just now registered! Yay! Eek!

I still have to worry about a place to stay, though. And I think *that* has always been the top worry for me. I certainly don't want to stay alone, nor do I want to make 4 other pitying people let me sleep on their floor (plus, floor? My back? Ouch!) So I'm still a bit shaky.

Why oh why didn't I make this decision months ago and get the room thing settled then? Oh yeah, I'm stupid!

Anyway, I'm already looking forward to going. I'll be over-the-moon thrilled if I get the rooming sitch straightened out. Then I can just think about meeting everyone, squeeing about fandom, which there is none in my RL :(, drinking, and having a great time.

Thanks again for being so sweet!

I just now registered

Yay - I'll get to meet my favourite lurker :-)

Don't be scared hon, we're all in the same boat.

[ladycat777]

Yay! And I'll get to meet a lovely Englishwoman who's fic I love!
