This post is in part inspired by one that Kate at Suburban Sweetheart did... God knows how long ago. I'm just lazy and, as much as I loved the idea, I haven't got around to it until now. :3 oops. Anyway, this is kind of a get-to-know-me kind of deal, because it's hard to tell you exactly what you should know (I mean, if you care to, which I like to think you do) about me, or anyone for that matter, unless you break it down a bit. By trade, I'm still a student, albeit not for much longer. But I work my ass off in a lot of things until I can slow down and can limit myself to just one or two. I'm a waitress, a retail worker, a comic store co-manager, a model, and cosplayer, a designer (not like that's making bank, yet), and an ebay user. Hey, it counts. Don't judge.

Not what it does to my bank account, but you know.  I'm not going to gloat about how awesome this year was like I wanted to/did last year, simply because I'm pretty disappointed. I'm gonna be honest. From a fan and an industry standpoint, I'm sad, and it mostly has to do with industry. So my girls from d20 and I were able to get a table on industry row on the gaming floor in exchange for volunteering on said floor, 16 hours total per person. Doesn't seem like the worst deal ever, and we made a few good friends out of it. However... industry row had no traffic. At all. The other people there actually moved (we couldn't) to get traffic. So we worked anyway, and Cory and I did the math- 5 of us minimum, a minimum of 16 hours total, at minimum wage? We paid over $600 for that booth and made three whole fans and no money off of it. I'm personally $300 in the hole just because of this ...
