◕ ‿ ◕
I had a lot of fun hanging out with friends, meeting new people, and suiting! Thank you to everyone that hung out with me. You were all great fun to be around. I wish I got to hang out with more of you but there is ONLY SO MUCH TIME! ahh. I even got to go to 2 art panels this year which was nice. x3
I didn't sell all my art show art, so this stuff will be up for sale soon online:

Other than that, some of you may have heard I got punched in the head really hard in the head while in suit (Chai) Sunday night around 11:50 pm. I am okay, my suit is okay (just got a little tooth chip/scratch I think I can possibly buff out??), I just sort of have a bit of a bruise in my head (in my hair, lol.)
The Marriott didn't have any cameras pointed where I was and it seems neither did the SJ convention center unfortunately so they haven't caught the people who did it. From now on I will neverrrr go out without a handler. I was literally outside for 1 minute when this happened but apparently that was long enough to be assaulted for... no reason. For those that didn't hear the full story, I'll try and summarize:
I was walking from the front doors of the con center to the Marriott (I had just been over at the Hilton looking for a friend who was just getting into suit too.) I was about 6 feet from walking in the side door of the Marriott and a man ran up with a flashlight in my face (so I couldn't see his face) and a cell phone up filming with a young woman. They were both like "Oh wow cute kitty!" So I did my normal Chai kitty stuff I do. At first I thought they were some people from FC. Then the man punched me really hard in the head and yelled "SmackCam!!!". I was in immense pain and leaned over. I didn't know what to do. The woman was like "What did you do to the furry?!?!". I yelled something stupid about how it hurt really bad and my head was resin (like any... normal.. person would understand why that made it worse.. phhh.. such a nerdy furry response) and the man, after realizing he had hurt me just bolted. As soon as the woman with him realized he had left, she ran after him. I was in so much pain I was kind of dizzy and I couldn't stop crying so I went inside and sat on some couch for a while and then went up to my room. It really shook me so it took a while to recover.. before I felt comfortable reporting everything.
Anyway, I didn't let it dent my con experience too much but obviously I don't really look at everyone outside the con as being.. too -friendly- anymore. The crazy thing is I NEVER DO THAT.. go out alone??? Hah.. the one time I do.. guh. BE CAREFUL, MY FRIENDS!
My awesome friends and fiance were so awesome and comforting though. The staff was on top of things immediately! And we're still trying to see if we can hunt down the #smackcam video. (Checking Youtube, Instagram, Twitter, Vine, etc.) but I have a feeling they didn't post it when they realized they had literally assaulted me.. I dunno. Looking through those videos is AWFUL though. That is pretty much the WORST video meme I have ever heard of. guh.
SO YEAH, I AM OKAY. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR BEING AWESOME. LOTS OF LOVE TO FRIENDS!!!

I may snoop around and see if I can find it, and let you take it from there in handling it "mainly contacting the police, evidence is online, so on so forth."
Youtube is just a buncha garbage so far.
