I can't believe my livejournal is still functional. The internet is a strange and beautiful place.

I haven't posted anything in 2013 yet, so I thought I would change that. Lately I've been spending more and more time rereading entries and reliving certain parts of my life.

However, there were some aspects of the con that disappointed me ( Read more... )

Haven't posted in awhile, but I am posting now to say that Otakon Year X epicness starts today! Hopefully I can leave work a little early... and I've had this livejournal almost as long as I've been going to Otakon. That's a little scary.
