Diary of a Deranged Fangirl

Wide-Eyed Dreams

I really don't feel like doing a diary, but I figured it's
been sometime since I posted on here. Mostly because my
last couple of LJ entries have been under lock. They were
work related posts and all work related posts, if you
remember I said were going to be done at home and under
lock.

But I don't know why I haven't been too much into doing a
normal entry. Things have been pretty much quite. Work
hasn't been too annoying, per-say... According to one of
the nurses who called yesterday needing something she
said "they" had been singing my praises and that I'm really
good at my job now.

I guess there is a ring of truth in that cause yesterday I
caught a serious oversight. I mean it was a really,
really, really BAD oversight, but I caught it before it
could become really disastrous. So I guess I am getting
good at what I do.

I still wanna go back to school and I still wanna go back
to school. I decided that I want to be a psychologist or
go into psychiatry of some sort. Basically I want to help
people with their problems. What was that line from Are
You Being Served, "I want to travel and help old people...
On boats!" So that's what I want to do, I want to travel
and help old people on boats.

Oh Katsucon is next week. That was fast! I looked up it
was January 1st, I look down for a second, and look back up
it's a week before Katsucon! I still have some work to do
on my Pope outfit. I have to ooze out and get these f-ing
crosses today. Grrrrr... I hate that fabric store on 8th
Street.

The women who work in there are nice, but the guy who runs
that store is an asshole and I hate going in there. Plus
they have a very limited selection and the prices are
though the roof. I know one thing they better have my damn
crosses!

But changing subjects, but keeping with the Katsucon theme,
I'll be having a little Metal Gear dinner gathering. It
won't probably be a lot of people, but I think it will be
nice to get together with a couple of MGS fans and break
bread with them, as it were.

And I've been thinking about Otakon a lot lately. I know I
said at the beginning of the year I wasn't interested in
running another Metal Gear panel, but the more I think
about I am interested. I just think at the time I was a
bit disgusted with MGS fandom.

Much like any fandom it has its snobs and that week the
sobs were really grating my nerves. I can't remember who
said what to crawl up my back, but it was just enough to
get me disgusted. And then added with that, that was the
week I found out that my good MGS forum had closed down!

Shit and I loved the guys on there too. They weren't mega
snobs. Even that Liquid Ocelot guy, who told me when he
first joined that he had a tendency to get into arguments
with people, he wasn't that bad. In fact I had asked him
to be on the panel but he could make it out from Nebraska.

Sigh... Well anyway, long story short, the MGS fans were
grating my nerves and I got disgusted. But when it gets
bad like that, I just have to take sometime away from the
internet portion of my fandom and be alone with it. Now
that I've been alone with Metal Gear I am ready to try
again. Provided Otakon let's us do it again that is.

The final decision isn't mine alone. It's Otakon's panel
committee. I've told a few people who talked to us after
the panel was over, that if they really wanna do this thing
again this year they have to get in contact with Otakon and
demand it come back again next year. But even then that's
not a guarantee.

Ah well, in any case, if we can do it again this year I
have some ideas of things to see and do. Since I have my
regionless dvd player now I can play parts of the Extreme
DVD. That should be fun. And for the game we could play
the "find the Snake" game for laughs and prizes.

Oh well enough of this daydreaming. It's after 8:30... I
got a late start on doing this today.

Woo-hoo: Katsucon is next week and I'm really getting
excited.
