OKAY, well .. still no jobs. despite almost daily hunting and applying, almost nothing has turned up. in fact, a good 60% of the places we've tried are actually having hiring freezes atm.

:|

it blows big balls. HOWEVER, we have been making a good amount of money selling things on the internet, so we're thinking that we may be able to swing one night.

so! inuashley, can you calculate how much the cost would be if we stayed just friday night into saturday? if it's doable enough, we might be able to make it for those two days. :) and we'll have to somehow make it along without badges, so here's to hoping that we won't have to show our badges to get in and out of the con center. >>;; i guess we'll just take it one step at a time as far as registration goes.

OH AND

HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY, ELIE!!

well, first of all

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, zippyz AND ALSO HAPPY BDAY TO game_addicted!!

.. aaand onto the bad news.

moving in is all good and well, but finding jobs? .. not so much. resumes have been put in, tons of applications have been filled out and about a million phone calls have been made. unfortunately, no employers have yet been biting. which means money is very, very tight. and rent and food take precedence to things like conventions.

so, giving you guy a heads up. if we don't have any viable income by february, we will not be able to afford katsucon. I KNOW. ugh. i wish it weren't so, but with money being how it is, and not having jobs, it just can't happen. so this is mostly a heads up to you, inuashley813, since i know you had wanted us to be in charge of the room. none of this is set in stone yet, but you might want to figure out prices/who's going to be in charge of the room if we're not able to be there to do it.

SO, let's just pray that we can get some income so that we don't have to sacrifice this con. so all of you pray and chant and keep your fingers crossed, whatever you have to do to send us good juju! once february rolls around, we'll let you guys know what's going on, and you'll get the final verdict.

:(

BUT KEEP UP HOPE.

well. i actually have some time to myself for once. THIS FEELS SO ODD. i've barely had any time for the internet these past few months, i've been lurking on plurk, but livejournal was almost dead to me, and i used AiM, but i generally abandoned it once i signed on and left the computer to do other things.

now i feel so .. bored, lmao. the majority of september and october i spent back and forth to new jersey, visiting friends and family and helping out a lot with the rehab. we did about a billion programs, but that's good, i had lots of time to spend with the birds. ♥ and i even have my very own glove now, i feel so powerful with my own glove clipped to my belt! (9 òó)9

ty's halloween party was this past weekend too, and of course it was a blast; froggy and i spent a week jetting through new costumes for it -- the party was 'time period' themed, so frog and i did steampunk. :> we looked pretty cool, i'll get pictures to you guys if i can, though i spent so much of the night sloshed i think that i got one picture, if that. oops. well we'll see; with hope i'll have something to show you guys eventually!

aside from that, we're just planning our move, and planning what to do over the holidays. i'm not sure if AUSA is going to work out at all -- it's so close to thanksgiving, and we probably won't have anyone to watch finnegan, we're going to be doing a ton of driving that month as it is .. so it's pretty unlikely, unfortunately, but maybe we'll be able to swing at least one day! as far as what we're doing for halloween itself ..... i have no idea, which sucks. :< we've been juggling a few ideas, hopefully at least one of them will work out. halloweens down here in OC aren't all that interesting, no one lives here this time of year, so we don't even get any trick-or-treaters, sob. oh well.

AAH BUT ANYWAY now that i've got all this time, I'M BORED. so you guys should tag me over here on my
