AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!(Translation Post con and update)

General
Alright, Just got back from Oklacon, and had a great time. I actually relaxed for once in my life. Which is good because I get home and immediately go back to ball of stress! YAY UNHEALTHY HABITS! ANYway... lets go over the con first. I'm going to avoid shoutouting this because... well dear lord I'd just make the journal "And there's this one and this one and this one" I love all of you!
Dear lord, I need to actually start uploading pics from my sketchbook as I've not done that yet. But I've gotten more art commissioned this Oklacon than I've done at any other fur con. It's really a special kind of awesome. I love having a sketchbook now to hand people and have them draw. It's great just to say "Do what you think is good" and seeing what people do. (Though it grows more and more a book that I need to make sure won't be picked up randomly by those who don't know about it <_<;;) What was really awesome too is getting to sit and build a character with Seagull Prophet that was literally no more than a text character for an RP (I so can't wait to for him to be a badge buddy!) So much geeking out that night.
My lord the food. Between campfire "Hey we have food" and the GOH meal... Oooooohhh it was all good. Corsi does so many amazing things over a campfire. However, the GOH dinner... I specifically have to bring it up. They had this honey butter... *drooooooool* Our table got to be known for fighting over it and wanting more. When it was put on corn on the cob, I think I needed some private time. It also was a hilarious meal as thanks to Daxter we got to be -that- table, with all the chanting we did. Nothing was funnier than after we had the whole room going "Bring us cheesecake! Bring us cheesecake!" the kitchen chanted back "Hold your horses! Hold your horses!"
I attended a few events but was mainly there for chilling. However, big item of note, I got into the geocaching event. It is pretty fun, first time with that event. Was mainly working with a group, which was necessary as Two Tails is an evil person in his hiding things. But I had to drop out before finishing as I stood up at one point and hit my head on a tree. Noticed I was bleeding a bit. So response was to walk to the A-Frame "Okay guys, don't freak out but I need to go see first aid" though thankfully my face wasn't as covered in blood as I thought it was... not too much panicking over the tiniest head injury.
Later though, never could get anything in an auction, but was so lucky that in the raffle I managed to win two Hansa plushes, a fox and a wolf (Guys, I only bought five tickets! =) )
Trip there and back was all sorts of fun and interesting. Special call out to Yetteo for driving/putting up with me, Drumming Raccoon, and a husky that felt any time over an hour in a car was waaaaaaaaaaay too long. On the way there I got to go to one of those places I've always desired to see... a Route 66 icon Pop's. Seriously, all the soda. Had to get sodas for the trip there. Then on the way back we stopped again there with Rinzy and Kaitos to eat. Pure win.
All this is stream of consciousness thinking on the con and as always, I didn't even scratch the surface of what all I did there and what all went on. I enjoyed it.
Now as to the update part and the new mass of me going insta-stress. On the trip there I got a call from the Red Cross where I have to be at a job interview in KC tomorrow at noon. Have to be at work the next day. I -WANT- this job. I know furs in KC, I love KC. This is the sort of thing I actually got my CDL for (I'd be driving a blood drive truck and also getting the blood). That said... I'm straight up scared of this interview. I'm just afraid I'd go 3 hour drive, humiliate myself in an interview that won't last half an hour and drive that back tail between my legs. I know... I am going to try, but man this is one of those stress moments. Yea. I don't know how to calm -at all-.
So yea, I should probably wind down... early morning tomorrow. Later guys.

As for the interview, just tell them what you have done and what you want to do and don't worry about it. I don't wanna see you move away but if you want the job then I hope you get it!
Good luck with the interview. I'm sure you'll be great!
And don't freak about the interview. *hugs tight* Relax, be yourself, you'll be fine. ^.=.^
