I'm going to FC! Holy crap, what? D:

General
I know, right? I never thought I'd be saying this, but I'll be attending FC in January, 2012. Plane tickets bought, rental car reserved, badge commissioned, room booked, ticket reserved, and vacation approved... pretty hard to back out now! I'll be going with 
yiffyraptor and yes, you'll have to suffer my pathetic "I have to get on a plane now, I love you guys" journals a second time. ^_~
I'm looking forward to hopefully putting some faces to some of the great people I've interacted with over the last twelve years or so (holy crap, has it been that long?), and maybe seeing again the small handful of those people I've already met when they passed through my town. Raptie, who has been to a bunch of these things now, always comes back with stories about how lots of people know about me and all of my silly crew. That's a really hard thing to believe, given that all I really do is commission people, but it would be pretty neat to find out if it's true.
So, what happened? Why am I going now? Well, Raptie has been after me for years, and some recent events have made me think about missed opportunities and if my reasons for not going (maintaining a sharp division between RL and fandom interests) really mattered all that much (they don't). So, hell with it, right? I'm an adult and I support myself. I can do what I like, and I don't have to answer to anybody for it. ^^ Maybe it'll be fun, and maybe it won't, but I'll be able to say that I tried something different.
Are any of the rest of you out there going? I don't expect anybody to get all excited about seeing me (it's not like I can draw you anything!), but I'd be happy to say hello if you come across me.

Also, I still don't believe that I'm popular. Raptie's got to just be exaggerating, right? I'm not even an artist. ^^;

I'm pretty active in the fandom year-round, but I try to not to let it get involved with RL stuff. I guess I'm closeted about it all, maybe? Anyway, it would be cool to meet you after all this time!
