This is my first journal.. and I don't write much aside from research papers, so I apologize if this gets a bit long and I'm a little scatterbrained during it :p I know only 3-4 people actively watch my account, but I felt compelled to write this anyway. So.. anyway, this weekend's been a bit of a rollercoaster for me, I enjoyed Anthrocon a ton, like, way more than I thought I would, even though I was mostly fursuiting and attending panels alone, whereas I've always been with someone else for other cons. (I'll get to why that is later). So this is why I don't have any pictures of me with anyone else, or as many as I thought I would since this is my first real con that I've stayed at for the entire weekend, and from dawn until dusk.

Anyway, talking about Anthrocon, I'm super impressed with the way they set the con up, and it exceeded all of my expectations, and I loved suiting there, and meeting the people, and everything was just so perfect :3 The city of Pittsburgh really went all out to make us feel welcome, with random citizens talking to me, and wanting to get pictures with me when I suited, and the businesses really tried to make us feel welcome, and the furs there were especially nice. There was a warm, connected, welcoming feeling that I just didn't get from the other cons I had been to. It just felt like such a nice atmosphere from both the city and the con.. I don't really know how to describe it, lol. It also helped that the panels were AMAZING, from Kage's story hour to Whose Lion Is it?. It was such a well put together con, and I can't wait to go back next year. (Hopefully staying in the Westin next year, since the walk from the Doubletree sucks in suit.)

Now time to get a little more down and talk about some negative events that happened during the con in my life. The day I was starting the long haul to AC my boyfriend (Whom I was planning on attending AC with) called to break up with me. This led to the awkward circumstance that we had to share a room together for AC.. but I understand why he did it then and not after, he didn't want to lead me on, and he didn't want to crush me at the end of the con.. which I understand, and I'm a little grateful for at least. So that's why I spent most of the con alone, which was hard, since I have a hard time coming out of my shell, and get embarrassed easily.. even in my suit.. so I didn't get to talk to as many people as I would have liked, but meh, I still had loads of fun and there's always next year.

Soooo, that's my story. I'll be impressed if anyone makes it this far, lol. And if you did, thanks for reading, I really appreciate it =) Time to let the Post-con Depression set in for the next few days, and know it was completely worth it.
