So I can't believe it's already that time again. To tell you the truth, I'm even more not ready than usual. I'm packed and prepared to go I suppose but if I had to say I'm up to it, I don't know.

I haven't made much life progress in my personal goals, and in truth I've been shy to admit I'm having problems since I don't like to admit such things in public.

I suppose this really requires a much larger journal since it's baring my soul kind of stuff and I am not currently very proud of myself.

That being said, I'm trying not to let it all get to me, and most of the time I can at least get myself to okay. I'm hoping I can this time. I'm healthy, I have good friends who will be waiting for me, and it's a con I consider my home convention.

I have chosen to bring Lauren, Anna, Kate, and perhaps a small surprise that I may mess around with later in the evenings.

I will be with Shrag, Richard Renard, and Atsuki Kodama, our trusted roommates for this con.

Afterwards I might need to do some serious soul searching, self examination, and figure out if I really know what in the heck I'm doing.

For now, if you're going to be there, I will see you in Dallas.

Lauren
