Aug. 23rd, 2016 11:32 amOkay, and now my other, my original dress that I'd wanted for the ball has shipped, so, um. I have two dresses? And a passel of choices of nifty clothes that I wouldn't have had otherwise, so there's that. I have no idea when the dress will get here, but it's coming US post Priority so hopefully soon. The petticoat gets here supposedly Wednesday so I'll be able to try on and take pictures of the dress and petticoat. And makeup. Although my hair won't be done till Saturday so I may have more pictures of the full ensemble then.
Seriously, DragonCon is turning into nerd prom once a year. I just need to not keep buying up dresses I'm only going to wear to nerd prom. Though I suppose that is only one part of DragonCon, and the rest of it is... costumes I only wear once a year. Oops.
Nngh. I'm jittery. I'm jittering and refreshing the tracking is not making anything go faster, and I do not have all the time to do the things I want to do and and and and. Aaand. And I have no focus. I should have focus, but no.
I'm betting at least part of this is the closer I get to being fully prepared, the more I think I'm not at all prepared, if that makes sense. I start questioning everything I've done, do I have this and this, am I going to remember this, and aargh. I need to breathe. And cool down and go over my lists and go back to that. It's not that hard. I'm just nervous. Scared. Something. On the plus side, I have hotel room for next year sorted, who's going where for next year sorted, and have learned my lesson about picking up my membership for next year this year when it's cheaper. Goddammit.
Yeah, pretty much at this point it's all DragonCon all the time right now. Sorry, guys. You get to watch me freak out for a week and a half and then see me go radio silent for a week? ish. Including travel time. What fun!
