What have I been up to?
8 years ago
Well, I've been "kinda" busy I guess.
Or at least I'm trying to keep myself busy so I'm less bored and can keep my mind off of unhappy things.
What have I been doing?
Been displaying my awesome LEGO work at some fan expositions and cons.
Running a youtube for myself, mostly LEGO, but it's got some other stuff as well. Video games, cosplay, and more will eventually be on there, but I just can't afford the supplies or better hardware.
Still unemployed since... I don't remember now. probably 6 years?
Still don't have a car, and I still live too far from town to walk.
I was playing Dagorhir for a while, but that didn't work out too well for me, so I am missing that. Trying to get into another LARP, hopefully closer to my area and friendlier.
Went to Anime Central (ACEN) for the first time. It was interesting, I was mostly behind a booth the whole time, but I got a feel for how many people were there. It was huge, too loud, too many voices. But There were cool costumes and fursuits, wouldn't mind going again.
I'm staffing at Trotcon this year, a MLP convention where I have known the staff since the beginning of the event. I'll be running 8 hours of events/panels for them in addition to of a few more hours of staff work. I'm excited about my panel, hoping it will go well.
I've got plans for some cosplays, working on a low-budget Fallout one at the moment, but It's nothing special.
If I can make some money this year, I hope to at least re-work an older Star-Wars costume I made so that I can use that again.
Fursona? Not yet... yes I know, I'm taking my time on it aren't I? lol
Got an idea for it though, just gotta come up with details (I am terrible at making these kind of decisions) and then get art of it done up.
Ehh, doesn't matter too much, it isn't like I am part of the community.
I've got an Etsy Store... sorta. It's closed at the moment while I try to get a new bank account, the terrible bank I was with before hit me with new hidden fees, dumb policies, and no longer offers free checking accounts.
My town keeps closing down stores. I'm honestly surprised that the shopping mall still exists. It's lost all but one anchor store, and now the only good thing in there is a Comic/Games store.
The town has lost a few department stores, restaurants, and other places. It's pretty boring here.
Learned I'm probably on the autism spectrum. Self diagnosis kinda thing... that, and friends making observations. After looking at lots of information, traits, signs and what not, it makes sense. Explains why I am awkward and have trouble reading humans.
Been feeling better depression wise. Keeping myself distracted and busy with little things and labeling my awkwardness with "autism" has been taking some stress away. I still have my bad days, but they have been much less frequent.
And now that I know more about myself, I've been able to avoid over exerting myself and have not had a panic attack in a while.
Trying to exercise more, I want to lose weight and be more active. It's going OK I guess. Compared to a few years ago, I've lost a good amount of weight, and I hope to lose more once I get some allergy meds so I can survive outdoors. lol
Don't really know what else... I unno. Just saw my last journal was old, and thought I'd do another one. Not that I know many people on here... I was just bored. Guess I could link to my youtube and such. That is not my personal FB by the way, just the one for my youtube channel and media network.

It's good to hear that things are looking better for you, though! I didn't even know Trotcon was still around, tbh. Might try to stop in and say hi to people. X3
And as for LARPing, I know that the particular group is full of drama and whatnot, but there is an Amtgard faction over in Springfield, the Valley of the Twin Rivers, I believe is the group name? They meet up in a park that I can't remember the name of. I'm pretty sure it's in the northern end of town, tho.
Trotcon is going into it's 6th year now. July 14th-16th this year.
Valley of the Twin Rivers meets in Snyder park. Haven't really interacted with them yet, I've been meaning to go try out the group, just haven't had a ride yet, or the energy to go try a new social environment by myself. It's 8 miles from my house to the park, bout a 5 hour walk. lol
Hoping to go see what the group is like after all the crazy planning and prep for Trotcon is over.
Was also thinking about the SCA, they meet near Yellowsprings, but it's only historical and there is no foam fighting.
And yes! That's the park. XD
I actually met my husband while going to Amtgard there. We plan to eventually get back into it, so maybe we can assist you ride-wise. :3
Sounds cool, I've got extra weapons (assuming that Dagorhir spec weapons work for amtgard) that y'all can use if ya need any.
You just may need to add a bit more padding, is all.
