That was one big-ass fun weekend for you!

A friend of mine went to Emerald City... her first ever con. She was giddy about it. I need to introduce her to the San Diego one, Hoooooooooooly shitballs. She would DIE.

As for photographers, I don't know, sorry.
I'm not even gonna put my name out there... heh

thank you so much for all the wonderful pics and the nice update. It was a wonderful read. You are one of my faves so I always look forward to hearing from you. As for the anxiety, etc. I have bipolar and borderline personality disorder so anxiety and panic is part of my daily life. I don't have much advise since everyone is different, but I keep a daily journal so I can sometimes track what triggers my episodes (when you are in one, its kinda hard to figure it out). Also, maybe talk to your doctor and he can give you a mild anti-anxiety medicine that you can take as needed. I'm on Klonopin, but thats not mild. I think the journal might really help. It doesn't stop my episodes but it at least helps me be aware of what triggers me so then I can work on overcoming those fears. Mind you, i didn't say avoid them, cause then you would probably just be a house-bound wreck, but overcoming them. I hope this helps some and if you ever want to talk about it, Just hit me up. Im a good listener.

I loved the pics...thanks so much for sharing!!!!
That looked like such a fun weekend. It made me wish I was there.
I can't wait to see the set you did with Cherry...two of my favs

About the anxiety, dark_chylde had a good idea about keeping a journal so you can track your triggers. It probably wouldn't hurt to talk to the doc. about a mild anti-anxiety med either. I don't suffer from anxiety, but my mom does. She takes a mild med. daily and it has helped her a lot.
Another thing that can be helpful is to learn some deep breathing techniques to help stop the anxiety when it's happening. Meditation can help also. There are some great books that teach these things to help with anxiety if you look in the bookstore in the psychology or self-help section.
Good luck!

great pics looks like a great time

hmmm... anxiety... when i get that way i take a nap, but i seem to be a genius at procrastination and ignorance and that helps too, but i wouldn't recommend those 2 things
naps and some meditating relaxation, even for a minute or 2, helps alot to focus and relax just breeathe and concentrate on nothing but letting the stress and anxiety loose and float away from the body

haha that name change is fuckin sweet! you rock

sadly, dear, i had to go all the way to medication. oh well, so my biology is deficient, whatever.
that, plus the discipline to live a good life, elimination of toxins (at least cleansing often), and a powerful sense of self-worth is all you really need. find a way to help yourself relax and remind yourself that all is good. not everything can be done at one specific moment. as long as you're not wasting away, you're doing well!

Jealous!! I want to take a vacation up in the area you live around... and where you've gone. I hear nothing but glorious things back those places.

Where in California are you heading? I miss California sometimes.

You look fabulous, btw!
