A Letter To My Future Self

Well, I'm hoping you're reading this.

More importantly, I hope you're alive and well and haven't lost any friends along the way from here to there.

A little reminder: I'm sick now as I write this. Not dead and crippled sick, but sick enough that the next week is gonna be hell. That's another thing that's been interesting this year. About a couple weeks from now a year ago, Sheri will have pointed you to Epic Cosplay. And this has been an experience. Loved the job, hated the job, been okay with the job, wanted to quit the job and now we're back at the point where we're ready to give it some effort again. Hopefully we'll be able to keep running with this, get something productive out of it.

At the very least, we've seen a lot of our journal land friends this year.

Q and through her, Jess. They're nice. Actually, we saw Q a lot. SakuraCon, Otakon, AUSA... damn she saved our ass at AUSA. I will forever despise that ghetto hotel Tony booked us in. Next time, he can stay in that god-awful rat trap.

We saw Moebro and he was a classy bastard. We took his con virginity! HA!

Kayla, I'm hoping we stay in touch with her. Not to put extra burdens on us, but she is in a shaky situation and if she actually reaches back, I want us to help her.

We saw Amy... though she'll be Doku to me pretty much forever. I hope she's able to feel better. I can't imagine how unfun it must be to go to a con and not enjoy it. No, actually I can. Happened a couple expos when we used to bring our sewing machine.

Then on our old friends, we got to see Cobbi and Zero too. AniMegaCon was actually pretty fun with Zero. I wish we hadn't lost that photo from the Evil Dead musical.

Also made a ton of new friends. Mostly on failbook.

We're doing a lot now. Trying to take better care of ourselves. We've got our first actual gaming mouse -pretty cool there. And there's a lot of personal stuff we're trying to untangle and I hope that when you read this again next year, you've got some idea of what I've been doing wrong.

My words are so wonked up in all of this. Maybe it's bed time. We've got work in the morning -so does Callie.

I guess what I want to say most is to keep trying to be the kinda hero you want to be. Don't give up. It's okay to lay there for awhile, but it only ever ends when you decide to never move forward.

Don't forget that you're never alone. There's some good people out there that have been trying to drill that into my head. Maybe they'll succeed this year.
