anthimeriaI went to the Nova Albion Steampunk Exhibition last weekend!
It was a fantastic time that I have a whole neat post written about, which will appear as soon as I can be bothered to copy it out of my notebook (Things I Do While Waiting For Panels To Start 101). I will say that I felt terribly underdressed, and hope that Skywatch will have been picked up by a publisher by the time the con comes around next year so that I have an excuse to spend the money to create a fanastic costume.
The "and also" refers to the fact that I volunteered to donate blood tomorrow, and might be freaking out about it. I hate needles, I have tiny veins, and also I'm not usually qualified b/c they prefer you to not have been ill within the last mumbledy weeks, which NEVER HAPPENED while I was in college (stress causes illness, with me). But it's one of those things I always felt guilty about not doing. So I am taking my fear by the throat. (Possibly it has grabbed me by the throat in return . . .)
Wish me luck?
