Yesterday was awful.
I found out we can't really go to the San Diego Comic Con like i thought we would be able to.....thats why yesterday felt awful. I was just in a horrid mood all day.
Last year we worked for the owner of a local comic store at the con.....he told us we could come help out again this year, so i was planning on it......i called him to check up on everything, and he drops the bomb.....they don't have enough money, so they aren't going this year. Ahhhrgh. Its too late to make other plans, all the hotels are reserved and full for the week of, and even if Greg and i did get a room somewhere we couldn't afford it. Plus we were going to get a ride down in the comic store owners van, and i am not sure we could afford the gas by ourselves anyway. Greg drove us in his truck last year, and it totally financially wiped him out. Theres no way we can save up enough money for everything in time. The only way it would work is if we could stay with someone we knew in San Diego, but we don't know anyone in San Diego. Or if a bunch of people wanted to stay in a hotel room together, like 20 plus people all sleeping on the floor of one room, so that the price would be reasonable. Or if someone who already has a room reserved would be willing to let us stay with them. But i am certainly not holding my breath for any of these things. I've about given up.
I have a weeks worth of vacation time i was going to use for this. That makes me sad. I wanted to go so badly. I mean, if the shop has no money, then they have no money. But i just feel so horribly dissapointed. I mean, i even asked for vacation hours instead of a bonus check this quarter because i thought i could use the vacation time for the con....which i would have been able to, but now i wont.
SCREAMS!!!!!
The con in 2004 was some of the most fun i have ever had. And now i won't be able to go until at least 2006. I am not holding my breath for a miracle to occur, but it would be lovely to lift my mood out of this people hating, in a rut, nasty, depressed, sour horribleness that i feel. I just wanted to escape Corvallis for a week, i get so sick of it. I just wanted to surround myself with individuals of all stripes, geeky, creative, rediculous and amazing. I wanted to repeat the most fun i have had in the summer for years. But its not going to happen this year.
SIGH.
Fuck it.
What should i do with the vacation time now? I'm not just going to fucking rot here all summer. I'm too sick of this place right now to do that. Don't get me wrong i like living here and all, but i can only take so much before i want to run away for a while. and this whole turn of events is not helping this feeling.
