we are more than this

Doing things entirely unrelated to college makes me happy. Working on things for Ideomancer, or doing comments for the Codex novel exchange, or just working on a story. It proves that I am a real person, not just A College Student. That I have a life outside of writing papers and taking tests.

So today was a nice day, even though half the snow melted. (It stayed long enough for me to have a snowball fight, though. I am content.)

Question: who's going to Wiscon this year? Fourth Street Fantasy?

(Fourth Street will probably be a go for me no matter what, as I suspect I will be in Minnesota all summer; Wiscon is more shaky, and depends on, well, mostly me working out where I'd sleep, and if anyone I know will be there.)

Here, have an article about a guy who was a professor at my college. My boss at work was telling me stories about him the other day.

Also, have a poem.

I will be at both Wiscon and Fourth Street Fantasy.

Yay!

I will be at Wiscon.

I wish I could go to either of them. Instead, I will be a camp counselor. This should be fun, but I do wish I could go to conventions as well.

Being a camp counselor will be lots of fun! If you bug me I will send you letters. (Am kind of a terrible letter-writer, but I will try.)

[aliseadae]

Really? You've never sent me a letter before. But yes! Do! *bothers*

See: terrible letter-writer. I do better with emails. But I assume "camp counselor" = "not necessarily having Internet", so I will attempt to change my counterepistolary ways.

Wiscon yes, Fourth Street probably not, but anything's possible. I might be able to offer you a place to sleep, but I can't promise, as I may also be trying to house like five other people. Potentially, though!

That would be sweet! Let me know how it all shakes out. (Should mention, though, that I'm allergic to cats.)

Fourth Street!

ReaderCon?

I would go to WisCon if there was a very cheap flight to Madison and I found a very cheap place to stay, possibly. But basically no.

Ditto on ReaderCon for me. Someday I will find something to do in the summer out here and stick around to go to it, but probably not this year.
