Scheduling conflicts
A friend is holding a 20's, 30's dance at the local UU church soon, I was gonna bring a bunch of friends with me but there's some stupid anime convention is the same weekend so apparently I'm not bringing a bunch of friends. XP I think that dressing up in vintage clothing and dancing around a church is -far- more important than anime conventions but I digress.
In June (right before I'm scheduled to get surgery, actually) there's also a bit of a schedule conflict...
There's this really really super great Trans Health Conference in Philly that I want to go to... But there's also Adventure Con (that is, a UU youth Con thing, which is also really really super great) that same weekend. I can't go to both. I have to make a decision about which I want to go to. :[
And I just don't know! There are gonna be people that I want to talk to and ask about things in Philly, but... Adventure Con... Aghhhh. I don't know what to do.
Long story short: I need a fucking time machine.
Also, in other news, my hair is getting really long and crazy. It's wonderful but it's making me nuts at the same time because I'm not used to it. Haha.
I also hate that because I have dreads people take it as an invitation to touch my hair. That makes me really really nuts. Yeah, my hair is different. That's nice. Please stop touching my head.
Like, I'm wired so that every little alarm and siren in my head goes off when people touch my hair. (Or if they touch me at all... But especially my hair. My hair was pulled a -lot- as a kid. :/ ) And I wish they'd stop. (Not to mention, I'm not some kind of exotic animal to pet. Which I know isn't what they're thinking but damn it feels that way sometimes.)
Oh and especially my aunt. I have told her a million times to cut it out and she thinks it's a joke. I've actually snapped at her once or twice over it... And uh, I'm pretty level-headed. I mean it's one thing when people don't know better, it's another when I've explained it to you and you keep doing it. :/
But I really do like my hair, I just wish people didn't like touching it.
Anyway, I'm done. Not like any of you actually read this stuff.
Here, have a song:

so, um...
...is it bad that my first thought was "it's a good thing you're not French Class Girl?"
Darn that Super Duck, writing interesting posts about wanting to touch someone's hair! :-)
Anyway, good luck with the scheduling mess.

Haha, FCG likes having her hair touched though. A lot, actually... Like, I'm pretty sure that counts as a defining quality. XD
Thanks. Haha.

1. I am adamantly anti-time travel. I mean, I know how great it would be if we could go back and do more than one thing at the same time BUT DO YOU REALIZE THE THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN TO THE UNIVERSE AS WE KNOW IT? Seriously. Scary shit.
2. THAT TRANS CONFERENCE IS SO NEAR WHERE I LIVE BUT IT HAD TO BE THE SAME WEEKEND AS MY STUPID GRADUATION.
3. Can we talk about dreads sometime? I want them so bad and I remember from the past that we have similar hair.
4. I LOVE AMANDA FUCKING PALMER. THAT VIDEO IS GORGEOUS.

1. Psh, details. It's not like the universe needs physics or anything. :P
2. Stupid graduation being scheduled during conferences. XP If you were going I'd probably go just to meet up with you.
Last year I missed going to Disney World because of graduation... Well that and because my Grandparents didn't even think to invite me even though they invited my sister and cousins. XP
But graduation week was pretty awesome so it's alright.
3. We can talk about dreads whenever. Haha.
4. I agree completely.

well... my graduation is june 6th, which is not actually the entire weekend of the conference... xD it's funny, i was gonna say the same thing; i'd go just to meet up with YOU.
My graduation week was
My graduation week was super-insanely busy (but good busy) so I kind of assumed that everyone's was/is/whatever. And, haha, that's fair.
