Fur-eh!
2 months ago
I'm very excited to be attending my first con outside of Furnal Equinox in Edmonton in just 2 weeks!
I've never been much of a con-goer; I tried a few times to enjoy Furnal Equinox in past years and never quite understood the appeal. I don't do well in large groups of strangers, I have trouble making new friends because I'm shy to start a conversation. But this past March I went with a friend who was visiting and mostly stuck with him... it made it way more fun and I met more people because he already kind of knew them.
A couple of them invited me to room at Fureh, and I was so excited to get to see them again in that kind of welcoming environment. To me it feels like a bit of a trial run... was this past FE a fluke, or have I just needed the right companions to really get into a con? Time will tell!
P.S. I have a couple stories in the works; I wish I'd felt more motivated to write in the last while, but it's been busy.
