Hey Ho! To The Gathering I Go!
( 2003-12-05 @ 11:06 p.m. )
Hello All! Here it is, the last update anyone is going to be getting from me until I come back home on the 20th. I am off to Gathering Weds the 10th.
I am so busy I just want to strangle someone. My Psych teacher decided that even though I have been reminding her every week since the beginning of October that I was leaving to just tell me last night that I have to take my 3 chapter final Tues. Plus have two reports handed in.
Nevermind that I have the fanbook to finish, have to pack, go shopping for the trip, but Christmas presents and then my Birthday is December 12th…….which of course I wont even be here for.
UGH!~Rips hair out~
That and about five million other things that quite simply just HAVE to be done. If I get out of here without killing someone I will be perfectly amazed. I really will be.
THEN I had this damn debacle with these wig people. I am going to Gathering as Galadriel of course, have Galadriel’s dress, Galadriel’s tiara, Galadriel’s phial…..just not the hair. So I order a wig, lo and behold they are in California and it takes damn near forever to ship to Florida so at the very last possible minute they tell me this and I go into a mad panic thinking it is never going to arrive on time. So I have to dredge up a credit card and send that to them and pay for them to upgrade it to two day air mail. AAAAAH! It just got here……..thank THE GODS!
I am looking forward to Gathering beyond belief. It’s a scary-pleasant sort of feeling. I really don’t know what to make of any of it. I was anticipating it for months, and now I am just to busy trying to do everything I don’t have time to anticipate it. Rather confusing but fun all at the same time. Ask Gina, I talked to her on the phone tonight as we finalized plans to pick her up for Gathering in N.Y. and we are BOTH overworked and going crazy……so go give Gina some love. She needs it.
In the process I am conveniently trying to forget my birthday is even approaching, I completely deny it, I am *NOT* turning 23….it is NOT my Birthday on the 12th. To be honest, I don’t even have time to think about it.
Nor do I particularly care.
Also to everyone I write letters to, I got incredibly, incredibly busy but I am taking all my letters to Canada and will be writing you all back on the drive up and back. I will mail them as soon as I get home. I apologize, I’m terrible I know………I am being a bad pen-pal.
ALSO a lot of you WILL definitely be getting Christmas presents from me, I have a very long list to buy for. Unfortunately they will all be late. I know that’s terrible of me to, but I didn’t have time to shop, wrap and mail everything before I left for Canada, so once I get back after Christmas I will be buying and sending off all ,my presents. Please forgive me, I am such an arse.
I cannot wait for Gathering, and I hope it’s as magical and wonderful as I have built it up in my mind. And although I will not be here, when I am watching ROTK I will be thinking of each of you and I hope you will think of me as well. I hope it’s magical for all of you guys because this is what we are all about.
So back to listening to the magic of the soundtracks and Billy singing like a angel, then as Gina so aptly put it, I think I’ll “Go hook myself up to some oxygen.”
