Ok so I've been meaning to write another blog for a while but I keep on being so stressed out and the last several weekends in a row, barring one I think when I was on-call and had to work all weekend...I think it's something in the house...
I haven't been able to work on my pics from Big 4. I really have to get them done this week or I'll already have Anime Expo and Mayhem Fest in two weekends in a row, then one on-call weekend at home, then San Diego ComicCon and Otakon! Then a month off...I want to get these pics done before July or I'll have another four events' of pics on top of Big 4. Should be cool as I have my new camera and it has manual zoom...so good.
Ok so the next part is a bit private. I'm putting it in my journal as...well, it's MY journal. Sometimes you have something you want to say that you can't say aloud and in old times, wise people would advise you to carve a hole in a tree and shout it in there or something. Well, this is my "hole in a tree" as the person it's to, that person doesn't read my journals anyway.
For those of you who didn't read, here's a vid:
Anyways, so IRL, I've made a new friend. She's pretty much been carrying me and although she's local, she's an hour away. So for every con, and maybe some other events we figure out, we're going to start hanging out. All of the time. She's everything I've ever wanted in a gal pal, in terms of fun and just "getting me." I already have one special person who is there for me who will catch me so I don't fall too far, which, ashamedly, I've gone too her way too many times and she's always there; but that person is far away and I get to visit her once a year. Now I have a person who will be around constantly and help me get ahead as well. I'm very, very lucky to have both. J
I'm just going to call her by her nickname, Dae. We're sharing a room along with a couple of other girls (it's my room, they're piling in, a welcome addition to what would normally be a lonely solo room.) at Anime Expo. She has this really unique ability to turn on the boys and the girls! Because we're both Dom (and notice for those of you who know BDSM protocol, I didn't call her Domme), she not only gets me, she knows that I'm the kind of guy who, as a Dom, is the warm and generous type rather than the hard and cruel type. So she's trying to set me up possibly with this girl she's very close with (which is ringing endorsement, I must say)...ironically this girl was my favorite profile on this "dating site" I've been on and I liked her so much, she was the one who I was afraid to message! And now, through a total twist of fate, I'm getting "set up" with her a bit...and she'll be one of the roomies at AX. If anything else happens, I'll refer to her as "Q. " Q's profile fits very well with who I am and what I'm looking for...someone who wants a boy like me who is very romantic outside the bedroom and can be dynamic, rough and energetic inside of it. J
So now all of the trips...AX originally was a one day thing but now I'll be there all of the days. I get a free dealer's badge as always.
Mayhem Fest, in No. Cal. is still on with my little gal pal "Ale." I found us front row AA seats so that will be badass.
SDCC, I'll probably make one or two day appearance on the weekdays, maybe with Dae and possibly with Q, and I'll check out the SG booth as well. No pressure to find anyone this time unlike last time.
Otakon, will be going solo...don't know who I'll see there other than "M," the one who is my special safety net friend; we'll be going to the Aquarium there too, yay! Next year, if I go again, I'll probably bring both Dae and Q to come along...and maybe, just maybe, some other people here on SG who couldn't make the roadie this time.
Then August will be the month off.
Then Big 4 in New York City! Still planning that one...I'll probably buy everything after AX, plane tix, event tix and hotel.
Stay tuned!

.><.
One day I am determined to make it out to either Otakon or SDCC, I just have to get the funds and means of travel. A girl can dream...!
Also, I just wanted to say best of luck on your date with this lady! It's awesome that you've been an admirer of hers for awhile and now a date is coming to fruition! Woot!!
