I have been massively, massively looking forward to Comic-Con for months now, ever since miriad said she had managed to get rooms. And I've known for two weeks now that I had to register SOON or it would be all sold out, but I just simply straight-up didn't have the money. And I finally pulled the money together out of little bits of the budget here and there today... and the four-day passes are sold out.

I punched the wall a lot. Then I found out how to volunteer.

Yaay! It'll mean working a 3-hour shift each of the four days, but that should get me into all four days plus the preview night. And it's likely to be for the best, anyway- for all sorts of reasons, I tend to like big events a lot better when I'm volunteering. It helps with the not feeling so lost and aimless, and the sense of obligation- I have to show up- can keep me from doing the introvert-panic-thing which I always regret when I give in to it. Plus, you meet cool people, and behind-the-scenes stuff is always interesting anyway. I'm likely to miss quite a lot of stuff I wanted to see, but then, it's impossible to see everything you wanted to at a thing like that anyway, and hey, I'm saving $75 I didn't really have.

All in all: *happy dance*

Now I just need to not delay too long in getting a plane ticket.

Also: I bug-bombed the RV today. Now everything stinks and I have to obsessively wash dishes before I can eat anything, BUT... tonight will be the test. Will I wake up with yet more bugbites?

Yay! I'm glad you found a way! I am so surprised that the con is already sold out, re: 4 day passes and lily_shrike is telling me that they are getting dangerously close to selling out for Saturday (the one day passes). I hope it's because they are simply lowering the numbers to make it more enjoyable and not that so many people are coming that it's just become TOTALLY INSANE.

WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE BUGS? I MUST KNOW!!!

The bugs are dead! (ding-dong, the wicked bugs are dead!) Operation: Xenocide was a complete and total success, thank Og.

Oh, who is lily_shrike? Somebody you've mentioned to me? Will I meet her?
