Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

It’s that time of year. Time for me to blog about my annual upcoming trip to D*Con. Unfortunately, I’m not going to D*Con this year. The plan was that we were going to have another baby, so travelling to Atlanta for five days in August didn’t fit into that plan. Then the plan changed, but it was already too late to make arrangements for D*Con. I was a little disappointed at first, but as the date approaches, I find that I’m more than just a little disappointed. I want to go.
As many of you know, I don’t get out much. For the past three years, I’ve thought of D*Con as my getting out. And I don’t really have any friends outside of the little group that goes to D*Con. That probably sounds really sad, but it works out well for me. I get to have friends once a year without all those other obligations you have when friends live nearby. Yeah, I’m not a great friend. But once a year? I can handle that.
So I’ll probably mope around and neglect all the things I need to do for the next two weeks because I feel so blah, because August is always a bad month for me, and I can’t go to D*Con, and I’m a bad mother, and my room’s a mess, and and and…
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
