Remember BitterCon? That's the con you go to when everybody else is off having fun at World Fantasy or something, and you have to stay home and work and nurse your grudges and cultivate your jealousy until it acquires a critical mass and

Dude, I totally bought an Early Membership to BitterCon! With a Guest Membership for my Miasma of Envy, so it can wander around on its own if it likes.

I am at work without having eaten anything yet, and my near-starvational state is interacting with my BitterCon attendance to create a nova-like reaction of irritability and moroseness. It's great! Better than puppies!

And I'm working over the weekend, too, which makes it better than TEN puppies!

[sallytuppence]

Wow, that's bitter. Like, like...something really bitter.

[tacithydra]

Bitter like angry puppies who have been denied their puppy chews.

Although secritcrush still wins. My bitterness is only work and food related, and does not include parents. Which, you know, Bitterness +10 with no saving throw.

Hmm... who do we have as GoH?

A very good question! Which as been posed in the post. I don't know anybody bitter enough...

Except maybe my old English teacher, Mrs. Burbank. Oh, she was bitter.

[sallytuppence]

We have a bid for Harlan Ellison as GOH.

Ohhhh, so jealous this weekend. But hey, I just got back into the graduate library here after a month and a half of waiting for my new student ID card, and hey, I bet they don't have a cool library like that in Texas...oh, wait, no, damn it, there's a really good university in Austin. But I bet they wouldn't have let me in the library, there... (At least that's what I'll have to tell myself!)

But that's something good! Do you have anything else to be bitter about?

I'm reading journals at my desk and eating lunch! Can you do that sort of crazy shit at a con?

They wouldn't DARE.

So bitter...

[sallytuppence]

Ah, I knew you would be bitter.

In a minute, I'm going to be sitting at my desk reading journals while eating lunch (just waiting for the instant mac n' cheez to heat up).

[sallytuppence]

Got my mac n' cheez! All set.

But still bitter.

[jennreese]

I've got two hours before I can sit at my desk and each lunch and be bitter.

Until then, just sitting at the desk and eating leftover candy corns and being bitter.

Ah, bitterness. Not even candy corns can tame ye...

I think I'm the bitterest of all, having just had unspeakable things done to my teeth with pointy shiny intruments, and creaky scary instruments, and buzzy whiny instruments. But! Mr. Monkey brought me a tiramisu, and I'm going to take a nap now since anaesthesia is till fogging my brain.

[sallytuppence]

Well, I was going to nominate you for bitterest (in fact I may have done so somewhere in the comments). Nobody, for sure, can beat oral surgery.

(and I do hope you're feeling okay...)
