| Friday, October 25th. Wake-up time: 5:55 am Hours of sleep before dance: 3 Costume: Yuzuki [Chobits] Prior to Dance: Swim practice, school, guidance counsellor appt., mad sewing skillz Report: I'm so tired. -.- ....zzzZZZZzzz..... As written in my blog: I had a double last period spare (my school has four periods per day, so that means I only had class in the morning). I had to finish my grad paragraph for the yearbook during lunch, so I didn't eat anything. I had to wait to speak to one of the guidance counsellors, since I'd been told by my guidance counsellor to talk to her about American universities before the end of the week. After lunch, though, she'd gone to eat, since she'd had to stick around at lunch. She didn't return until my first spare was almost over. End result: I didn't finish my costume, I didn't get to relax at all and I didn't get to nap. Oh, I also only ate a few bites of something (was it a muffin or something? I can't remember...I wasn't feeling that great, anyway). I was totally exhausted because I had to go to swim practice that morning. I was going to climb the CN Tower after school, but I was too ill. The CN Tower climb was for the United Way and most of my team went, but I really didn't think I could make it up, since I could hardly make it up the stairs at school without having to hang onto the railing for dear life and hope I wasn't going to pass out. Oh, I forgot, the drama that was finding a ride to the JCCC. I don't think I should say anything about it here. You know, the whole self-censorship issue rearing its ugly head. Lets just put it this way, shall we? Due to certain reasons, the original plan fell through and Yukito and I had to impose upon Jeff. Okay, back to Friday. Jeff phones, the carpool runs late and a crazy journey ensues. Apologies to everyone in the car for me being a righteous b*tch---err...pain in the ass. Oh, and OmniLink and Encubed kept us entertained with their antics. Insert dialogue along the lines of: Yukito: "There's six f***ing people in the car." *pause* "Okay, so they're not f***ing..." *dead silence for a few seconds* Mage: "Well, there are those two..." *Mage gestures behind her at the oblivious pair of OmniLink and Encubed* (Encubed had to sit on OmniLink's lap due to lack of space in the car) You probably don't want to know what was going on, but, if you do, ask Encubed, since he seemed quite proud of his accomplishments. Got to the dance a *little* late. Reiciel and Nuriko rushed us off for a quite discussion because I looked like I was either going to black out and/or murder someone in the next few seconds. Spent most of the dance firmly attached to my bottle of water and a box of Kleenex. Was too shy to do anything. Got dragged around and harrassed by Yukito, Reiciel and Nuriko. Got ordered by the head of security to have fun and dance. Grr..he might be my superior at the con, but I refuse to be ordered to do something I can't do. -_- I made a rather lame attempt at dancing whenever there was a song I liked on. Waltzed with Jen...lol. Sorry for being such a pathetic dancer, though. Dammit, I really want to waltz...I think it's a really nice dance. I love Victorian dancing and I think the waltz is the only sort of modern dance that's comparable, though I don't know enough about it to actually /know/. Overall, I basically managed to completely humiliate myself. Repeatedly. I got to see a lot of people there, some of whom I haven't actually talked to or know at all, but I recognise a lot of faces now. Saw two people who were Harry Potter characters at the last dance...even better costumes this time...*worship* Geez...so many nice people and costumes. I didn't fit in at all. Congrats again Winnie on the award...You deserved it. ^_^ So pretty! I'm still sick, of course. Managed to be distracted enough to keep myself rom wandering out the door into the cold and rain...was sorely tempted because of...certain things...But, you know, that was as I expected. Thank goodness for distractions, though. I did some flailing that was my version of dancing while I was there. Managed to get one dance in, thanks to the physical interference of Reiciel, who took it upon herself to take yet another oportunity to drag my poor, sick carcass along with her. What an embarrassing display that was. I'm such a wimp....I was too drained to put up much resistance. But it was just another opportunity to humiliate myself. I'd kick you, Jen, but I'm way too grateful to you for everything. While I'm at it, thank you distractions and thank you people/things/whatever that kept me from giving in to murderous urges. Anyway, back to the dance. It went on for quite a while and I'm surprised that I didn't pass out. Managed to make it through without the aid of drugs, though I had trusty Tylenol and Advil with me to bail out, in case they were needed. Dan (Yojimbo), you seemed kind of disappointed, so just keep in mind, if you should read this, that there's always a next time. Ride home was another adventure. Encubed and OmniLink decided to try something different. I managed to keep my mouth shut for the majority of the ride, though some may have caught my rather dark muttering. Don't worry, I'm not really the child of evil and I'm not going to go and murder you in your sleep. *innocent smile* That one dance....It made all the crap I'd had to deal with that day almost disappear. Almost enough to make the whole dance worthwhile, though not enough to keep me happy after the dance was over. |
